One of these days, when I will get to stay in the City of Sails, I will get back to this blog of yours and take the list with me for touring. Thanks.

halu te,
sayang yung multipass, sa iyo ko lang nalaman yun. last year nakapunta na kami sa kelly n sky tower. hindi pa kami nakakapunta sa rainbow's end and rangitoto. kung nalaman ko lang yun, yan na lang sana kinuha ko. sobrang sulit na yun.

Hi Gerald,

Nasa sixth week na si Ate X ng CAP nya. Two more to go. Nung una ang placement nila ay nursing home. Now she's going to Auckland Hospital. Mas gusto daw nya yung hospital setting. Mas maraming natututunan. Most likely, sa hospital sya mag-a-apply.

Mr. Thoughtskoto,

Salamat sa invitation. Di ko sure kung kaya ng powers ko yung pagsu-submit ng entry. Wala man akong entry, let me know how I can help.
