Episode #11: Ba't Ka Nagagalit?!

We were at the coffee shop working on our blog – when Bratinella’s buddy happened to walk into the place.

Kulit: I thought I'd find you here...

HER: Uy – hello!

Kulit: I’m not stalking you ha . . .

HER: No prob . . . we’re just working on our blog.

Kulit: (Looking at me . . .) Hello.

ME: Hel... uhurmphh! (choking on my sandwich). . . Sorry 'bout that . . .

Kulit: What’s your article about?

Episode #6: The Year That Was

But she would not have any of that... She only wanted to hear about what I LEARNED from those mishaps -- and how I rebounded.

Her: Okay, ganito na lang... What did you learn from that experience?

I was scammed for a few thousand dollars… I left my Engineering job for an opportunity in Canada -- that I later found out was non-existent.

(And you want to hear what I learned from all that?? …Incredible!!!)
