I guess, because we have not seen any major snowstorm in this area for years, everyone is excited to call them a blizzard. Duh! Yesterday, the forecast was one bloody hell of a delubyo. Waking up, it was snowing, [...]

“O! kumusta ang party ninyo?!” Tanong namen ki Chuva. Kasama ko si Joey nung isang araw. Binisita namen si Chuva. Read: maki-ki-kain nang libre.
