Share
Like most Filipinos, I am well acquainted with the fact that during elections here in our country, everything can get as hairy as a hairball and bloody as any bloodpool out there.

Retro Flashback: Missing You

Yes, I am an 80’s child. Lumake ako sa mga kanta nina Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Toto, Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Stone Temple Pilots and yes, John Waite.
