Lilian:

Kita ko sa mga mata nya,dismayadong-dismayado sya,pero kalaunay her facial expressions change it into acceptance that she will never regreted.
Pinaka-ayaw ko sa lahat yung tinatanggihan ako! grabe nagtitimpi lang talaga ako..well wait for me gugulohin talaga kita.. mukhang challenging siya.
Habang natingin sa babaeng palabas na ng opisina ko.
