LOL. Panalo ka talaga. =]]
Been wondering, if you’re getting death threats. Hehe. Just thinking out loud. ^^
Autumn, I could not imagine people getting killed just because he blogs on the web. Thanks a lot we don’t live in China nor Singapore otherwise we will all be in jail.
On the other hand, we do blog not just for the sake freedom of expression but we are sending a strong message that nowadays incidents like the Valley Golf do not take place unnoticed. Now, whether the Pangandaman’s gets punished or not, justice of public opinion has already been handed down on them. Thanks to the Internet!
Well, I agree with everything you said. So possibly, Loi is getting death threats. Haha. just kidding. It’s kind of creepy though. o_O
But anyway, thanks for that, Barok (whattanicename.lol.) ^_^
Ngyahahaha. Panalo ka talaga Heckler, forever!!!
You’re the best!
Two more predictions:
1) Drug lords gave DOJ 30million to free the Alabang Boys. PDEA was not cut in the cash, hence the ongoing BROUHAHAHA.
2) First Gentleman wanted for money laundering by the USA hence he faked tummy trouble so as not to land in Hawaii which is the US.
