OHME: Uhm, wow, I'm very suprised. I couldn't even recall what I actually wrote in that. Wow, I'm just awed right now.I mean, its been so long. I don't know what to say...

Ting is leaving for Perth, Western Australia on June 23. Uhm, I guess, it was an act of closure...

Now this story is closed. I may, with all grace, now say that once upon a time, Kristina Bardelosa was, for a short while,the woman I loved, and the girl who made my world go round.
