    Sumpain ang mga gumagawa ng kamalian, sapagkat tatawagin silang mga anak ng diyablo. Pagnilayan ang landas ng iyong mga paa; pagkatapos ang lahat ng iyong mga paraan ay magiging sigurado. Huwag lumipat sa kanang kamay o sa kaliwa; ilayo ang iyong paa sa kasamaan.

Well, one of the challenges that goes along with a drop in attendance is a ...read more
