@LokiJr and @jeffrey_craigslist salamat po...
As a tip, i'd like to share what i could have done better sa speaking exam ko.... Speak slowly! Mabilis kase talaga akong magsalita, so dun sa part wherein i have to discuss a topic for about 1-2 minutes, natapos ko sha in less than a minute and the interviewer was signaling (using his hands) to talk some more.... Ayun nawala ako so mejo parang nawalan ng sense ung pinagsasasabi ko... Buti na lang i got 7 pa den sa speaking...
