A Prayer for the People in Need

Oh, our Almighty God, our heavenly father

I give you my admiration like no other

Your powerful name that makes the evil shudder

 Lord, protect us and remain as our provider

I know that I am imperfect. I make mistakes
Some are decisions that lead others to headaches
but I am sure that you will forgive my outbreaks
especially my rage when I take the wrong stakes

But Lord, I just want to thank you for everything
The things you've given me are truly a blessing
You give us strength to face hardships the problems bring
no matter how tough those are, pain and suffering

Dear Lord. once more, I am wishing for your guidance
for the others who stand strong with their defiance
against Maring and Habagat that sparked turbulence
Make them live a brand new life with their experience

This is the limit of the things that I can do
But I hope that it can help even just a few
Having tragedies is a thing we can't undo
But I know and you would make the victims live through

October 1996,

To Marjorie

       I am not surprise or wander why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about but you’re very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sooner and later I’m realize that he really can’t not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you’re habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to their house what he got home or this or that.

And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise you’re very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought you’re the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are “ Beautiful Girl” of Jose Mari Chan?

       Even you are beautiful face ( to your think) you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I’m never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis, but if you start already to calling me different name, I don’t have any other choice but to call you other different name to. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESSED, OVERWIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPE girl. Shame to you’re body that is to a BUDING.

       You can’t not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more sexier that you when you look to us in the mirror. I’m repeat again that you are like Lozada when she is a girl.

Love,

The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

You say that I’m the bad breathe but who is Dennis want to kissed. Me or you? And the final is me. There you go

Comment:
        Somewhat, the letter had delivered the message well, for me. Even though it was totally wrong grammatically, the feelings of the sender and the thought were still present. It was perfectly shown how the sender wanted to tell Marjorie how fat she was.
        Grammatically wise. the letter had a lot of errors, There are some mistakes in spelling, the direct translations which (for some) had given the wrong thought and the sentence construction was poor too. Most of the mistakes, though, will be easily corrected through studying basic or more complex English.

        Below is a revised edition of the letter above. 

October 1996

To Marjorie,

          I am not surprised or wondered that Dennis left you. What reason can you think about except that you’re really fat. I thought before that Dennis only used me as his toy but later on, I realized that he really can’t bear to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis said he could not stand your intrusive habit whenever he has his scheduled walks. You always call on their house to ask whether he got home.

          He would even tell me that he's ashamed because of you, in both his school or his family. He was asking you to exercise your fat body but you hated it. You thought you were one of the prettiest girls he knew. What do you think you are, a “Beautiful Girl” like Jose Mari Chan was referring to?

          Even you are beautiful, just as you think, you don’t have the right to call me whichever name you would like to just to insult my personality. I never even called you a different name, whether Dennis is there or not, but you did. I didn’t have any choice but to call you with different just to insult your fat body.

          You can’t blame Dennis for choosing me over you because I am sexier even when you compare our reflections. You resemble Lozada when she was a girl.

Love,

The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

You said that I have bad breath but who did Dennis want to kiss? you or me? And he chose me.

Why Not?

Honestly, before, I was not that much familiar with blogs. I didn't like it. I didn't actually enjoy sharing thoughts using blogs but I didn't know why. Then just before the past school year ended, I knew that the third year students used blogs for their informal themes. I have read a few of the blogs and I found it fun to read.

And then as this school year started, I asked myself "Why not give it a try?". It seems like my decision was right. As those weeks passed by, I learned how to enjoy publishing blogs. Having different topics each week and making us share our thoughts through blogs are brilliant. If you compare it to writing in a notebook, blogging is a lot better. Somehow, it seems too good to be true. There are too many pros against cons. You don't need to think of the penmanship, the erasures, the grammar and the hassle to write but then staying in the internet too much is its disadvantage.

Even though it takes a lot of time from my weekend, I find it rather worth it. Well, totally worth it, that is. There is some sort of excitement I feel when Ma'am says "Blog Number". This is now our eighth blog and I have a feeling of contentment everytime I post my thoughts. Even though we cram, we can produce much better outputs since we enjoy it.

Now, compliance is not that much of a factor now for me to post the blogs required. I want to do them by my own decision. I don't know why I didn't enjoy it before but right now, I really love blogging.
