    Escribir un libro es ayudar a uno en la investigación. Me chupa en español, aunque yo puedo absolver bastante bien en francés. Tengo un problema con la enunciación, que suena como estoy teniendo un ataque de una reacción alérgica. Buen trabajo. =)

    Culprit Pontiff, galitin mo ang Google Translator para maintindihan mo mga pinagsasasabi ni Macherie kahit papaano. Pero ‘wag kang mag-rely masyado roon dahil hindi naman iyon accurate. Pero makakatulong naman. Heheheh!
