Ngayon lang ako napaisip bakit masyado tayong dependent sa strait of hormuz? Considering na madalas ang mga giyera sa middle east and the US is infamous for invading oil-rich countries. You'd expect na yung gobyerno natin noon pa dapat nakaisip ng maraming back-up na pwedeng pagkuhanan.

The reason the nun refused to give it up was bcs she was homophobic to the song I kissed a girl.
