Nil Desperandum

Surprise! Surprise!
More than the value, I was amazed how a friend can be so surprising with her pick. Never have I owned a decent watch since I was six. Thank you so much, Ate Alma. I love you! Pardon the excessive gushing. Just think I’m a kid who’s still learning GMRC (good manners and right conduct),…
