grabe, this is sickening Sad

. Thanks Peter for the warning. I'm used to hearing my friends ask me, aren't you scared of driving by yourself at night (considering xtrails daw used to be a hot car/target of carnappers and I would just answer back, hindi na ngayon hehe) but then, where does getting scared ends and "living" begins. One modus operandi after the other, these people wont just get out of evil things to do. What to do? Confused
