Hi Roy,
Happy happy happy birthday!
Maraming salamat sa mga blog posts mo na lagi kong binabasa at sa mga interesting links na lagi kong sinusundan! Those make my days worthwhile and worth it when life gets bored abroad.
Matagal na rin pala kitang kilala, hehe. Simula ng naging SAPULista ako noong 1997! Sampung taon na! Hahaha!
Mabuhay ka, at ingat lagi!
Maligayang kaarawan!
