Walang matatandang nakatugon maliban sa hanging may ibinubulong, at mga kuliglig na waring may hinihimig. Mayamaya pa’y pati mga mata’y nasanay sa dilim. Sa dilim higit na maningning ang mga bituin.

Unfortunately, there's no winner from our ticket booklets batch. "HI there Malou, I sent you a text last night re the car raffle. I think its very important that you send out a message to our batchmates re the results of the car raffle. Pictures attached was taken from my i phone as the raffle was done late after dinner and John was out getting our clothes. I don't know why but this year, there were very few minor prizes.
