This is a diary wrote in a rainy day. Every time I talked about diary, it remains me of a US TV series called Vampire diaries. It is a story of two vampire brothers who are obsessed with the same girl. I like the elder brother Damon and he had a more than 3 years relationship with Nina who is the actress played Elena Gilbert . Unfortunately…they broke up finally in real life. I felt so sad when I heard that he got married with another women but not Nina.
