Tama na yan, Inuman Na!

Dear benevolent bayaws,

10pm onwards mamya sa Tribu (kung saan dating may nabaril). Nagsara na Xavier Grille dahil naputulan daw ng kuryente. Tsk-tsk.

Birthday celebration din ni Carljoe. Please be there.

Dun sa mga di ko na na-text, pasensiya na, basta sulpot na lang kayo. Naka unlimited text lang ako sa globe. la na talaga ako load.

Kitakits.

Lovingly yours,

ramblingbayaw
