Paiwan Every Day 300: lami // pulami

Happy New Year!! 

I've reached my goal of making at least 299 Paiwan sentences since I started in March 2020. Yeah! 😀😀I thought of making some changes. However, since I am getting into this personal exercise and there's still a lot vocabulary to learn, I figure it will be better to stick to the same rhythm and challenge myself with yet another 365 Paiwan sentences. GO!!

2020 has been a difficult year. I pray that in 2021 despite of all, we will emerge positive with a big smile!
