    god bless sis.Huwag kang bibitaw...Kaya mo yan.Huwag ka lng mawalan ng pag asa.
    Gayahin mo @karl_amogawin...
    @chu_se eto sis struggling pa rin sa english exam. may alternatives na aside from ielts so parang gusto ko itry si pte academic. ibang iba ang approach niya compared kay ielts. computer-based and within 24 hours to 5 days kuha na agad ang result. Infairness, nabuhayan ako lalo ng loob ng makita ko scores ni karl!!

    @karl_amogawin congrats bro!! ako nalang ata napag iwanan sa batch natin.. hahaha
