October 1996
To Marije,

I am not surprise or wonder 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 “BeautifulGirl” 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 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.

Whoa~! The girl has a very large wisdom of English language. Hehe, just joking. When I started to read it, I didn't understand it and was irritated because of the grammar. When I tried harder to understand it, there I realized the letter was intense, haha. I was laughing after I understood the letter because of the placement of the words and how the construction was. Dennis was the boy whom the two girls are in love with. The girl who wrote the letter was so angry and upset about Marije even though Dennis left Marije.

I've noticed the words are placed on how their Tagalog translations are in order. I've also noticed that the verbs she used are not consistent if they’re in base form, in s-form or in past tense. Also, she used be verbs in almost all of her sentences. She used the words “you’re” instead of “your”. She used “can’t” but still put “not” after it.

Even though the English is obviously not correct, some parts can still be understood. But still, one should really need to learn the proper and the correct way of writing English. It will make you express yourself in English better and proper so give effort in learning it.


I edited the letter and here it is:

October 1996, 

To Marije,

I wasn’t surprised why Dennis left you. What else do you think is the reason besides your fat body? 

Before, I thought that Dennis only used me to be his toy but later I realized that he really can’t tolerate being with you. Dennis told me he could not stand your habit of having irritating concern to all his getaways and also always calling to their house asking many things.

He also told me that he got ashamed to me, in school and also to his family because he was asking you to exercise your very fat body but you don’t want to exercise. You think that you’re the prettiest girl he knows. Who do you think you are, “Beautiful Girl” from the song of Jose Mari Chan? 

Even you have a beautiful face (from what you think), you don’t have the right to call me names to insult my personality because I never called you names neither in front of Dennis nor at his back. But if you will start to call me names, I don’t have any choice but to do the same, names like PIG, FAT, OBESE, OVERWEIGHT, AND an UGLY SHAPED girl. You should be ashamed for your body which looks like that of a GAY.

You can’t blame Dennis for replacing you for me because I am sexier than you in front of a mirror. I’ll repeat that you are like Ike Lozada if he’ll be a girl.

Love,

The sexiest girl of D.M.

P.S.

You said that I have a bad breath. But who does Dennis want to kiss, me or you? It’s me.
