Is this kind of charity, mabait ka diba dahil magkakilala tayo? Dahil tinulungan kita na mailigtas noon, and you’re helping me for security, alam ko lahat ng yon doon talaga yon, pero bakit hirap na hirap akong tanggapin na mabait ka lang sa akin dahil doon?”

Tanda iyon ng pagiging miyembro nila ng Wolves Organization. “My wife is from the Philippines kaya impusible na hindi namin alam ang inyong lengwahe.

Bahala na! Napansin ko abala ang lahat sa mansion at may ilang bisita ang nagdadatingan, marahil mga kaibigan at kamag-anak ni mommy.

All I know is that I'm happy and enjoying her company, her kisses, her skin and body. Sa Turkey, conservative ang mga tao roon. My Daddy raised us according to the race he grew up with. Disciplined, religious, loyal, hospitable, obsessed with health and hygiene, direct and authoritarian. Pero dahil hindi papatalo ang lahi ni Mommy, talagang humalo iyon sa amin as we are growing up. It comes out naturally dahil very authentic na tao ni Mommy, nasa loob man ng bahay ito o hindi. Never nitong hinubad ang pagiging isang Filipina niya. Nag-a-adjust sa lifestyle, culture and etcherera si Mom doon for my Dad to do the same sa kaniya.
