smiling_ja There is more to everything than meets the eye. Maybe her apprehension is caused from something - from an inner struggle or something. I agree with you, for someone who's just new in the senatorial race, I hope she'll come out and expose herself to these forms...

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 19 Apr 13

No Pay. No Way.

jearl02 @jearl02 (211) • Philippines 16 Apr 13

smiling_ja It's only fair to feel that way..some thoughts are borne out of experiences that we face each day which in turn leaves us feeling that way but in my case, I don't dwell on feelings that has no sufficient cause. It ruins the good vibes.
