Don't remember much, but I still think and use the word grok because it was always so all encompassing. There is really no word that I know that says that in the complete way... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillipino_wannabe Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Can't see it lasting much longer, nearly all the businesses seem to be open on the sly near me in Quezon City now. Even Lazada & Shopee have been open for about 2 weeks. 1 of the Guards our subdivision told my wife he was going to report my Wife'ss Lazada store to the Barangay and she said 'ok po good luck, the mayor is married to the Lazada CEO' Edited May 8, 2020 by fillipino_wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
