Paalam, Kaibigan

Coy, kamusta? Matagal na din tayong di nagkita at nakapagkwentuhan, kaya gulat na gulat kami sa balita. Napa-blog tuloy ako. Bigla tuloy ako napasilip sa computer ko. Di ko sobrang napansin dati, pero isa ka pala sa mga “automatic models” namin mula noon pa. Sa dami ng mga pictures na naka-tambak sa hard drive ko, […]

A Practice in Creativity
