Ruby’s corrections

Last month i traveled to the Philippines with my sister who had come from LA. In the long beach, we stayed in the hotel most of the time and went swimming and got some photos and just you know had some drink in the bar at night. It felt very relax and normally we don’t have many time to have connection because we are all very busy, and i had a long time no meet with my sister.
