Napakasakit! The latest Jollibee ad hits to the core! Watch the ad first. Spoilers follow so no peeking! 🙂 Sadness… Well, si girl naman kasi. How dreadful for the guy, but what to do when you are in the girl’s shoes?? Thus, the age-old relationship question that keeps us perennially flumoxed: Can a boy and…
