ThE DevIL WeArS U.K.

January 13, 2007

                                                           from the start that i noticed i need to look good, i was not quite sure what to do witPhotoh myself.so i                                 settled with my good 'ol chuck taylor shoes, "washed once a week" levis jeans (which was a gift from my oldman) and my all black che guevarra shirt (torned- out but still wearable).do't worry,i change my underwear twice a day.hehehehe, 'cause all i can see are idiots, fashion wanna be's wearing those expensive,ready to wear-out ,sheets thinking they look smart and intellegent but obviously makes them look more like retards. but it came to me that i need to stop wearing the same clothes everyday.i checked my pockets and found out i dont have enough cash to change my clothing line..so i walk the busy but lame streets and found this stall, it labelled " all items for 20 only".. so i checked it out and came back to my roof with a hefty plastic bag with 1 new pair of jeans, 2  cool shirts and 2 baseball unworn caps all for a 100 bucks..hahahahahaha…lucky??you bet.

now im sooo frickin' out with this so called U.K. thing that i built a big wardrobe cabinet at home filled with more than half of my U.K. stuff…….
i became "the devil who wears UKay-UKay"..hehehehe (as what they call it)…well, my colleagues named me that since i was the one who introduce this to them and tempted them on buying this slick, cool, cheap but one of a kind garments to cover there "nevermind" bodies..hehehehe, just kidding.,and they are really enjoying it..its worth buying since where only receiving a soooo low salary from a veeeerrrrry rich company..what do you think??hehehehe.
