Feeling Phony

I’ve had bad luck with mobile phones. They always get lost, or stolen, or broken… So I haven’t had a new phone for the past 2 years, in fact I was only forced to use a phone these last few months because I’m in Manila and Gim’s in Zamboanga. Before...

Detox Tip #5: Watch Movies Just watched Pirates of the Carribbean: At World’s End last night, with Gim (boyfriend) and Melisse (little sis).
