jaybaby, keep it up. If that is new-latin or out-dated igbo, i don't know . . . . .wait i have to laugh first. Guess what i'm trying to say is that you're too much, you want to know why. . . . . . . because your igbo can make a very very sad person burst into laughter. So whenever i'm sad from today onwards, i'll just come and look up your igbo, believe me i won't be in a bad mood for long after that. lol again gosh you make me want to roll on the floor and just laugh |
