Here I go again

Hindi lang ako ang nakakapansin, maraming nagsasabi na lumolobo daw ako, may katagalan na rin since I last stepped on a weighing scale. Sa estimate ko, baka malapit na kong umabot sa 200lbs. hehehehe! exaggerated ba? But it feels like I’m over 200lbs, ramdam ko na madali akong mapagod, like like saturday [...]
