Kaya tuloy nagkahigpitan na naman dito!
Pati tuloy yung Test ko, postponed muna....
Pag nakalipas na ang focus sa pulisya dito.
Pulis kasi ang nagbibigay ng test....
Eh under hot water silang lahat dahil nga sa dami ng nahuli sa kanila.
Na-interview nga sa TV yung police officer na nagbibigay ng test
tsaka nag-interview sa akin....
Napanood ko sila sa TV....

Better wait for a while.....
Palipasin ang Bagyo!
