itsalwin There are two things that you can do. First, you can ignore her. If you go this route, be prepared to deal with her attitude. Second, you can look into what you both enjoy and strike a conversation from there. Who knows? You might end up having a friend. :)

itsalwin we're entering the wet season here in the Philippines, but the weather is still very warm when it's not raining. it's also very unpredictable, so it's wise to bring a rain gear when going out.
