GT: November 22 Super Fun Facts

I am on indefinite leave on memes but Kaye ambushed me with a question yesterday that I can only answer YES – Oh sure! I am joining GT this whole month! Heck, I am just excited for the draw (you know when they say pregnant women are luckier, so I will try my luck this time hihi).

But seriously, because it’s her birth month and I love her that much that I decided to join (consider this as my birthday gift to you Kayeness ^_^).
