When the Water Receded

Personal

Hello strangers, it had been a while. I had a lot of things to do these past few days. There’s school on one side and the weather on the other, the latter I hate the most. With the monsoon comes rain and with heavy rains comes flood. Our first “taste” for this year was this [...]

Internet

This guide, as what the title says, is idiot-proof. Clearly, I am not saying that you are an idiot, (well not yet [...]
