文章 Luis Ko »

after "reading" the speech, i still don't get the point why i should talk to strangers, if they are not those who i'm interested.. XD
i might be a cynic and, a sceptic as well but, i'm definitely not a bad person!!

Hey, Gloria, thank you for posting this list for me.

It was very interesting that we had many newcomers yesterday. Especially when Caro, Carol and Carlos sitting at the same table in the second session, who can say it's only chance? :lol:
