namamahay

tuloy ang drama ng aking paglipat.
matapos kong i-assemble ang katre at mattress, sobrang pagod ang inabot ko, balak pa sana naming manood ng basketball game pero di na kaya ng powers namin ni bilas. so pahinga na lang kami at kwentuhan, mejo matagal din kasi kaming di nagkasama kaya mahaba-habang kwentuhan.
