Thanks for all the love and support to push us through to the next step. I look forward to sharing and reading about all of our future success stories. From tragedy to triumph... What was funny is that I was gathering the new list of APPROVALS the BAMMM... I rec'd the offical email. I thought it was a joke sent by "vartan", "william33", or "Iniibig ko si Luz forever". LOL! BUT THIS IS THE REAL DEAL...
