…if you don’t like anchovies, you’re tagged!
…if you’re not a morning person, you’re tagged!
…if your name ends with a vowel, you’re tagged!

Jeanny sis: Yeah I was a tiny baby! Was really weird-looking too hehehe. Yup, masipag ako magsulat nun! After school didiretso ako to answer my letters, nauna pa sa homework! At oo naman, hihintayin kita kung mabagal ka maglakad. Yup I’m on vacation until middle next week pa. Whoopee!
Paul : That’s a nice way to look at it! Yes, I do like reaching out to people through various forms of writing!
sha : I guess writing a lot is a big thing we have in common! I like keeping in touch with old and new friends through e-mail now. I’m not as diligent in keeping up the correspondence though!
Daphne : Yey!
paz : Wow a cooking class! I should take one soon too!
Christine : Must be the crisp morning air!
Diane: Mas marami pa nga ata dun eh; di ko na sinama yun hindi ko regular na nasusulatan!
