May mga iilan akong tinutulungan dito sa forum. I'm doing it voluntarily and for no fee or anything in exchange because I simply want to help others when I have time, tulad ngayon hehe. Tulong ko na rin sa mga tagarito sa forum because the forum really helped me get through the visa application process.
