Intro

Hello guyz

This is the first blog I ever made

Because it's the first time probably there're some mistakes here, if there're some feel free to comment about it, your participation is appreciated

The reason why I choose this theme because I don't have knowledge other than cooking and games, and to make it worse those two theme are banned >.<, so I choose this theme as a last resort, luckily it's allowed

Thank you for reading^^

For mam Agnes : Sorry for posting the intro later than the content mam^^
