Asa mo lakaw? Sa sidewalks? Nga huot kaayo niya naa ghapon sidewalk vendors da uban sidewalks. Kanang luyo sa metro gaisano padung progress ay. Lisod kaayo ilabas diha.

Paano nalang ang clear skin nito ? Sa dumi ng usok ng tambutso at alikabok sa Cebu 😂😂😂

Lakas maka-New York lang. Lakaw2x sa Colon.
