Mahilig sa tsokolate itong pamangkin ko at mahilig din sya sa ice cream. Ang ice cream at tsokolate ay dalawang bagay na di sya makaintay na masubo. Gustong gusto nyang maya maya sinusubo sa kanya kaya yan tuloy madungis na itsura nya.

Golfing

November 13th, 2008 · No Comments

My aunt who lives in the US told me in one of her emails that her husband has discovered golf and is already an enthusiast. It seems that his every spare time is spent in the golf course. They say that you either love the game or you find it stupid, no in […]

MBT Shoes

Interview

November 9th, 2008 · No Comments

I can remember when I took the IELTS two years ago the topic the interviewer asked me to talk about was furniture. She asked me to describe the furniture in our house and what kind of furniture did I like. I am not good with interviews and the topic kind of stumped me. […]
