Rise From the Downfall

Oh Almight God, the one who hears my prayers
I'm still wondering what will be the answers
You are the only one can see my grief
And has power to bring and enjoy my relief

We are sorry for committing numerous sins
We witnessed how did nature's revenge begin
Sorry for letting the nature to be destroyed
Even the people knows what to do to avoid

Thank you for letting us communicate to you
Also for giving us blessings even a few
Thank you for guiding us the right way everyday
And also for letting our problems to allay

Please help everyone to rise from their suffering
And protect us from the approaching tragedies
Please guide us to the eternal path of light
And let the others have something to eat today

God, please turn this suffering into compassion
Weakness into strength, let them receive donation
Please restore them to full health, remove their fear
All of this I pray in the name of our Lord dear

Ganito Ka Rin Ba Mag English?

October 1996,

To Marife,

                 I am not surprise or wander why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think 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 go 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 "BeautifulGirl" of Jose Marie 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 fronts 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 Ike 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.

October 1996,

To Marife,

                  I am not surprised and I don't even wonder why Dennis left you. There's no other reason to think about other than your very fat body. Before, I thought that Dennis was only using me as his toy but I realized that he really cannot bear being with you anymore because he cannot stand your habit of meddling with the things he wants to do and always calling in their house if he got home already.

                  He said that he is ashamed to me, in school and to his family and he also said that you need to reduce your weight. But you hated it when he told you about that and you thought that you are the prettiest girl he knows about. Who do you think you are? "Beautiful Girl" of Jose Marie Chan?

                  Even if you think that you have a beautiful face, you don't have the right to call me any other name even once or other things to insult my personality because I never call you any other names whether in front or behind Dennis. But, if you start to call me other names, then I don't have any choice, I'll also call you different names like PIG, FAT, OBSESSED, OVERWEIGHT or UGLY-SHAPED girl. Shame on your BULGY body. 

                  You cannot blame Dennis for choosing me instead of you because of I am sexier than you. I will tell you again that you look like Ike Lozada if she is a girl.

                                                                           Love,
                                                                           The sexiest girl of D.M.


P.S.
You said that I have a bad breath, but, who did Dennis kiss? It was me. There you go.



My comment:

The words she used are inappropriate and the she has a very poor grammar skill. It made me confused. I found the letter difficult to understand because of the wrong grammar and the choice of words. I can't determine some other sentences whether she is referring to herself or Dennis. But I understand what she is trying to say. The words she used made the sentence more complicated.

Blogging vs Writing on a Paper

                    We use blogs to discuss about a topic or some other things. Blog is used to post whatever you feel about something. A personal blog is just a commentary of an individual. I have my personal blog but I only update it whenever our teacher requires us.
                     I am not really into blogging, But everything has changed when I became a third year. I realized that blogging is really fun. I really don't know how to make an account and I don't also know how to post. I just explored until I knew everything on how to do it. Actually, when our teacher said that we will post our informal theme on our blog, I was really glad because I finally have the main reason to use my computer aside from facebook. I found social networking sites more useful because we can now use them for educational purposes. I can't really write everything that runs in my mind whenever we are to write it in school and I don't know why. But in blogging, I can freely write what runs in my mind. Maybe it's because we are give a lot of time to post it. Also, in writing, I cannot easily erase what I wrote already but in blogging, we can just edit it and then post it again.
                      I am really glad that social networks can be of good use not only for connecting to others but for educational purposes, too. I find blog better than writing manually on a piece of paper.

The Things I Desire the Most

Every individual has personal goals and tries to pursue them. Almost all of the people always say that their success in their life is the most important goal. A goal is what and where we aim. Our goal is the reason why we study and work very hard. A goal is also our dream. A dream is something we would like to happen.

For me, goal is not only about success, it is all about achievement. My first goal is to graduate college. All of us wants to graduate college, who doesn’t? Graduating college is the key to find a very good and formal job. College helps you to know what to do when you finish your studies.

My second goal is to find a decent job. A job is important because it is the only way to earn money. If you have money, you can buy things you want, pay our bills and have a place to live. Basically, it is the only key to survive in this world.

My last goal is the goodness of my family’s health. With the job I have, I can give them what they want as for exchange in all of the struggle they have done while taking care of me. They are the reasons why I study hard and also the reason why I keep on living. They support me and I support them.

Motivation is the desire to do things. We need it in achieving our goal. Of course, we need inspiration to motivate ourselves. My inspiration is my family. When I see them, I feel like I need to work hard. Family is the one of the greatest gifts of God to us. I always need to believe in myself and my dream. So, we need to cherish our family before it’s too late.

To Be or Not To Be : The Right Path to Choose

                         As a student, we always have many things to do. We always complain the things that our teacher requires to do. Some of us always say "Why do we need to have a weekend if they are going to give us tons of things to do?". Now, we will tackle about the consequences of the path that we chose by starting up to the point where I was going to decide whether if I will take or not the entrance exam in Cavite National Science High School where I am currently studying.
                         When I was going to decide about it, I was having second thoughts because of the great pressure that I am going to receive. At first, I don't like to take my high school here but I saw how happy my parents are when they knew that I passed the entrance exam. They were not just happy, they were proud. I realized that I am so lucky to have a once in a lifetime opportunity to go in such school.
                         After I started to go in this school, I promised myself to pass all the requirements on time. I need to participate in every activities we have. I should read and prepare for our past and upcoming lessons.
                         Some people doesn't like to study because they already have what they desire the most -- money. But, what is money if you don't have the brain? How can you make it grow if you don't have the knowledge to make it? Other people doesn't have enough expenses to afford their children to study. So, why do you need to complain? Let us be considerate. We are complaining about are studies but our parents are struggling hard for it. We are complaining even though we have the opportunity to study but some don't have. Let me make it brief. We are the lucky ones who had been given a chance to study. If you don't like to study then it's your choice because at the end, we will not be the one to regret in the path that you chose, it will be you...
                          For me, life is like a game. It is a battle win or lose. It is all about the road we choose. So let's make our mind up and find the courage inside of us to face every challenge. If we are strong, we will survive and we can keep our dream alive. Let us be the best as we can be. The power is in our hands...

My Feelings About The Things I Have Learned

We started the lesson about heroes,
and had seatworks with high scores, zeroes.
"Verbals" is what we studied next,
which, at first, made me so perplexed.

Shakespeare's biography was very long.
But I read it the whole night long.
At first, I did not understand
but it was explained, on the other hand.

R and J's ending was very tragic.
They both died, that's why it's melancholic.
But, it made their families into peace.
Oh-I forgot, it's Shakespeare's masterpiece.

We must use proper tenses
so that the verbs will fit on their sentences
All Things Bright and Beautiful is about God's creation.
We had a class presentation and ranked first through the whole sections.

What Technology Brought Us

Technology brought us already many things such as computers, mobile phones and others. After the computer was made there was the internet. Through the internet, we can search things that we want to know about. We can also use it for social purposes like connecting people from all around the world.

Social medias connect people through the net. They also keep the people in contact without even meeting them personally. Social networking sites allow us to talk to a person through chat. Now that the technology is advancing as time passes, we are now allowed to talk to them through video chat. Social networking is very important in business. Through social networking, business companies can collaborate and share ideas between their customers. We can also read stories here fan made or not. But, I noticed that as the time passes, the stories are becoming more and more about love. The presence of masterpieces are now fading. There are so many
functions of social medias but they are too many to mention.

As a student, I find social medias as useful. Through these things, I can find answers to my questions. I can also learn many things. But, when looking for an information, I always make sure that the information I am getting is correct. As an ordinary person, social medias help me by getting updates from the things that I am interested.  I can also know the latest news around the world.

This drawing I made is about how social networks connect us to other people through different ways. We can talk to people through chat, e-mail and video call. We can also post pictures and everything about ourselves.
