@stolich18 Sorry po pero yun na kasi ang napagusapan na date and bukas ung mas madami makakapunta. Don't worry we can always set another mini-EB though. I am saying mini coz I can't assume the availability of everybody. Maybe somewhere in Makati on a weekday? Ayala Tri or any coffee shop will do I think. Madali na lang yan. Isama namin sa paguusapan bukas yung pagkakaroon pa ng part 2. :-)
May point si @LokiJr about changing the venue to MOA. At least doon di tyo mauubusan ng choices. Do you agree?
