"Take it slow." Why is everyone convinced that falling in love fast is bad? Most romantic movies portray people meeting and falling in love almost immediately.

The Cagay represents not just the brand … Continue reading Cagay

“Study harder”
Was looking through my college stuff to retrieve the RSA manual and found this. Yup. I also do not know how I passed Math 11. Persistence and "Dasal dasal na lang" talaga 🙂 Who knew that "Study harder" had (still has) an impact even after college?
