How Do I Find Love
Warning: This is not a love story. The clock keeps ticking. The date and year keeps changing. Uyy, baka nalilibang ka na ata, a co-lector/commentator once told me. Of course, he’s pertaining to my love life. I know in my heart that that reminder was out of good intentions, but my narrow mind spoke otherwise. Anong magagawa ko kung wala pa?
