FULLY LOADED REVIEWS IV

THE BREAKUP PLAYLIST

Para sa Breakup Playlist. She’s Dating the Breakup Playlist. Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Breakup Playlist Mo? Breakup Playlist Over Again. Iba’t ibang title, iba’t ibang bida, iba’t ibang quotable quote ngunit iisa lang halos ng atake. That Thing Called Star Cinema. Pero ibang klase din talaga sila Dan Villegas at Antoinette Jadaone. Pagkatapos ko mangamba para sa mga susunod nilang gagawin after E.O.P. at ma-umay sa You’re My Boss, nand’yan na naman sila, tinutukso-tukso ang aking puso.
