  • this is where i spent one night with ate tin, kuya jasper ba? at si koochi! nagaaral kami for the whole night dahil lahat kami may exam. tapos nung paumaga na, lakad kami sa boardwalk sa likod ng quirino grandstand dun nagintay ng sunrise. i never did that things with anybody. i dont imagine it doing it in the future. masaya ako nun. hayz. sensya na talaga koochi! if my punishment for being stupid is losing you as a friend, i want you to know its killing me. i hope your happy now. thats my last wishes for you. will always look far away but will never say a word.
  • That's where a policeman caught me carrying an unlicensed pistol back in the early 70s. Plaza Ferguson back then.. I slipped him P20, and he let me go. I would probably not have gotten far for that sum today..
