  • Coffee is Worth a Thousand Words

    The leadership, o Consorcio, of the city of Santiago de Compostela, had the grand idea of organizing a coffee competition. After all, theirs was a city of a hundred thousand residents and nearly as many students. Everybody went to a café daily, sometimes more than once. The leaders also thought in terms of tourism, even though the City of the Apostle had more than enough of them.

Listen it might sound crazy but I'm not like how they tell you I am and quite frankly you don't know where I came from pushed away like some piece of trash, I bleed too but they still fail to believe that. www.onedoor.ccI'm just like them pushed away and brushed off by society where girls are punished for being “disobedient” but what do they know isn't that right Mr.Cuddles?
