Andrea Dietrich October 12, 2014 at 1:02 AM I meant bliss from being AWAY from school!! Len Gasun October 13, 2014 at 1:47 AM Yeah, you're right my dear friend Andrea!LOL. I cannot think more of other things making October a blissful month here aside from my birthday and term-break at school. :)) But, i'm still in school right now. The kids are not around. I didn't join them in Hongkong for English Camp. My one week break will start next week;) THANK U SO MUCH FOR MY WIN. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT. TYTY!

Andrea Dietrich October 12, 2014 at 1:02 AM oh now I can see the picture with this one, Leonora. I enjoyed the idea of this one, and how you are feeling bliss from school. gosh, you made me have to go look up the word Wonk. It is so different from what I expected! Congrats on my winners list, sweetie. Your book is in the mail as of Friday and they said about ten days! Len Gasun October 13, 2014 at 1:56 AM :) Yes, I will be feeling bliss this Oct. from school as soon as my term/sem-break begins next week my very dear friend. The word wonk has 3 meanings but I used the other one. I already wrote the meaning above just below my poem. Oh, thank you so much my win again & in advance for your book. So excited! Biggest hugs!
