in case you see him in person.

that? He said, "I have always observed that to succeed in this world, one should appear like
a fool but be wise". Now, a police chief in Laguna and still plays board one in chess.

that it has two holes in it. hahah.
- Marissa Mendoza... TSE TSE. Once there was a little mole, the biggest little mole that I've ever
did see... and the mole was beside the nose of Esper. Whether it is a mole or a fly is unrecognizable
till you see her in close up. (a note: in the May reunion, she said and showed us the mole isn't there
anymore. Why Marissa? Those are the trademarks of supermodels nowadays).
