Para sakin ha, mas nahirapan pako makipagusap sa mga kaibigan ko and
coaches when I was reviewing kasi mas conscious ako sa sagot ko. Nung actual Speaking na di nako kinabahan. Pray lang kayo.:-)

Well, if only I could turn back time, I wish I did not give up when I got my result. I was totally devastated at that time, more so when I read that there's a slim chance in getting a positive result when you ask for both W/S tests. And when I decided to give it a go, it was too late, time has elapsed. Anyway, I'm happy for you.
Thanks for posting.
