Hi Caca,
Ay, salamat at bumisita ka kung hindi lalangawin ang blog kong ito. Bumili na nga ako ng insecticide pang patay ng langaw. Thank you ha sa pagiging consistent mo. Kala ko nagtampo ka sa biro ko sa yo. Sori nga pala sa joke ko. Biro lang talaga yun. I apologetic sa iyo. God bless you always my young artistic friend. Hayaan mo babawi ako sa iyo. I will feature your blogs for review dun sa bago kong blog. Baka pwedeng humingi ng full face photo mo para sa feature na yun? Kung pwede lang naman kung hindi pwede rin yung nakatalikod ka. Sabihin ko na lang na extremely shy at bashful ka. He,he,he, *lol*
