Do Not Be Deceived From What You See

                    "Foul is fair, fair is foul", we all know that this famous line came from William Shakespeare's masterpiece Macbeth. This means that appearances can be deceiving. What appears to be good, can be ,actually , bad. Love is an important part of living a life. But, how can you call it love if it is full of lies in the first place? What if you're the only one treating it as love. not him?
                     Like when finding a person whom you will love. Nowadays, if the person is good-looking, you already love him. His eyes, mouth, and the rest of his physical aspects, you are being obsessed with them. But. what if he loves you just because of something? he loves you because of your money? His looks are just a trap for luring you so he can get what he wants from you. Basically, he is just using you. If he already got all the things he want from you, he will leave you. He will leave you without any mercy like nothing happened between you and him. 
                     To avoid things like this, every one of us should not make the appearance of a person as their basis for falling in love. We should know what he is from the inside not just only from the outside.

The Zenith of A Midsummer Night's Dream

For me, the climax of the piece is when Lysander and Demetrius fought for the love of Helena. At first, Helena thought that the two men is playing a joke on her and belives that Hermia is also involved. Hermia suspects that Helena stole the love of Lysander from her. Then, she concludes that Helena used her height to lure Lysander for Helena is taller than her. Hermia grows furious and threatens Helena. Helena became afraid for Hermia is quicker than her when it comes to fighting. Both men tried to tell Helena that they will protect her from Hermia but they got easily angry to each other that they went off to the forest to have a duel. Helena ran away due to her fear from Hermia. And, Hermia leaves after declaring her amazement to the sudden turn of events.

Forgive = Forget

"Forgiveness means letting go of the past". This line is easy to say but much harder to do. Forgiving and forgetting is very important in moving forwards. They said that we just need to keep moving forward, but how can we move forward if we, ourselves, cannot forgive and forget such a simple thing?
For example, a teacher held up a blue book and he said that the book was white. All of the students said no and the teacher said yes, all of them are saying that he is not right until he turned the book around and the back cover was white. And then he said, "Don't tell somebody that they are wrong until you've seen things from their point of view"
As you can see it's just a matter of perspective, just like arguments. It brings questions like "Is he really the one wrong here? or is it me?" Because in someone else's eyes, maybe you're the wrong one instead of the person you had an argument with.
If you are having misunderstandings with others, be sure to check whether you are right or you are wrong. Always remind yourself that this is just a part of your life. Everything is going to be alright. As the time passes, we will forget this until we make our minds up and forgive.

Athletic and Academic

Athletic people are people who are good in sports and other things that require your physical strength while academic people are people who are skilled in works that require brain. An athletic person thinks less in doing physical activities. An academic person is usually the quiet ones. For example, if there will be a zombie apocalypse, these two kinds of people will have their own way to survive. The athletic person would use weapons to exterminate zombies and would travel place to place. The academic person would just stay in his house setting traps around or barriers if ever there will be a sudden attack.

If I will be given a chance, I would choose being an athletic one because all people have a brain which was given with equal amount of thinking capacity. Having a smart brain, but weak body would only be useless if there will be a challenge that involves life and death. Also, having a physically fit body but not smart can be improved. But, if you really have a weak body, then you can't have the chance to be physically fit.

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

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.
