Hello Jason Jun Ed Vera Oshiro Reinaldo Briana Charles Simone Claire and all,
Then ask yourself this question,Jason: Does he/she deserve to be given a second chance? As Claire said earlier,it's up to you to exercise a sound judgment. Some people make it very easy for you to say,'Yes,he/she's worth it.' If some make it hard for you to give them a second chance,they're probably really not worth your trust. Very happy to learn you enjoyed your cozy birthday party and my e-card with your birthday's horoscope,Jun!!! (did you manage to read it before midnight Taiwan time?;)) After seeing those pictures from Almora,Briana, I finally knew where Shangri la is... Simone,you're right it's somewhere near Himalaya mountains in India! We'll wait for Briana to tell us more about this paradise!;) And Oshiro,travel well and get back safe and sound with lots and lots of everything... Memories are the most important though!LOL Good night, Pln On Oct 27, 5:06 am, chenzheng2008 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Claire Oshiro Charles Vera Jun and all, > > Thank you Claire:),I totally agree with you.
