Dear still-melting,
Thank you for being my online punching bag for the last four years. Because of you, I failed a lot of quizzes and missed a lot of deadlines. I don’t want to let you go, but I have to because my posts for the last two years make An sad.
Please take care of my early college artworks.
<3 Nikki J.

Nikki Jurado: Natuwa naman ako! Simple lang yung kwento pero umaabot sa ganyang interpretations. Kilig!

Asian Cinema final paper...
Sorry, Fr. Nick. Nag rant lang ako hahaha. Nakaka lunkot talaga minsan ang Pilipinas.
