      I opened my “tibuyo” last night :) I’ve been saving up since December and the total amount of coins that I collected for a span of 3 months is one thousand one hundred eighty three! Oh yes, it may be small for some of you but its already an achievement for me. Hihi. :))

      nais kong muli ang mag-ipon sa tibuyô / kaya maraming barya'y muling binubunô / sa isang boteng plastik aking binubuô / puntiryang isang buwan lang ito'y mapunô.
