Our new driver looked confused when I got in the car and drove off. Aba hindi pa sya tapos mag-quarantine, mahirap na.
I’d rather drive by myself rather than risk catching the virus.
When EDSA is clear, it’s also fun to drive.
I found a stack of old photos inside yellow Kameraworld packets gathering dust on top of my desk.
I Vibered these photos to my colleagues to refresh their memories. I will include the names of those I still remember, sigurado baka 10 years from now, pati mukha ko I would not be able to recognize anymore. Â If you see a _____ it means I forgot the name of the person. Â A cross (+) after the name means deceased, patay na, hindi may sakit. Â Disease yun.
