Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty and Me

Why I like the cat. Well, growing up, I remember Hello Kitty was my all-time favorite store in the mall. I didn't care if I could only afford to buy a piece of gum, I had to stop and shop at the HK. Then the name Sanrio appeared one day and I thought she was gone...no not really but it made me aware, even at such a young age (age 7) that change was coming. No matter how many years come and go, I have always and will always be a lover of this kitty. She doesn't even have a mouth but she makes me smile. Til this day, when I see her, my heart skips a beat.
