Here’s an e-mail that has been circulating around for quite some time.

Dear Anak,

Naipadala ko na 50 thousand pesos na tuition fee mo, pinagbili na namin ang mga kalabaw natin. Ang mahal pala ng librong COUNTER-STRIKE, wala na din pala tayong baboy naibenta na din para dun sa sinasabi mo na project nyo na NOKIA N95, ang mahal naman ng project nayun. kasama din ang 7 thousand dun para sa field trip nyo sa MALL OF ASIA, anak malayo ba yun mag ingat ka sa pagbibiyahe mo, isasanla pala namin ang palayan natin para mabili mo na yung instrumentong iPOD na kinakailangan mo sa laboratory nyo. Anak komportable kaba diyan sa boarding house mo san ba kamu yan sa VICTORIA COURT – maganda ba dyan di ba mainit diyan. Anak kamusta na pala yung group project nyo na SANMIG LIGHT, napailaw nyo na ba? Mataas ba nakuha nyo na grado dun.

Anak, sana bago pa maubos ang lahat lahat ng arian natin ay maka gradweyt kana, walong taon ba talaga ang kurso mo sa SECRETARIAL, sana pag graweyt mo makakuha ka ng trabaho kaagad kagaya ng manager ng kumpanya para mabawi natin ang mga ari arian nating sa sanglaan. Ay sya nga pala anak diba sabi mo sa JOLLIBEE ka palagi kumakain ok ba naman sayo ang mga ulam dyan baka hindi masarap kawawa ka naman. Eh yung school bus nyo na TAXI sabihin mo sa driver mag ingat siya sa pag dri-drive.

Anak, hanggang dito nalang at sa susunod ay ipapadala ko sayo ang pera na pambili mo ng ALTIS na gagamitin mo sa VACANT SUBJECT mo.

Nagmamahal,
Itang at Inang

P.S. Anak mag aral ka ng mabuti.

People often forward this to their contacts because they think it’s funny. I think it’s hilarious! But I also believe that this is a sad reflection of reality today.

Since I was little, I was never a diary person but I always liked reading and envisioned my self to be writing for an audience some day. Yes, I was and still is some sort of a nerd. But leave all your preconceived notions of nerds at the door. I don’t look, walk, or talk like your stereo-typical nerd that hollywood tirelessly portrays in TV shows and movies.

My knack for writing, however, didn’t rear its ugly head until the internet introduced itself to me (more on my internet writing travails later). In school, I was never part any school publication although I always wanted to be a student journalist. You see, I’m the type of person who has a say on almost anything and everything under the sun (sort of a “know-it-all“) As everybody hates a know-it-all I’d like to think that I am more on the moderate kind.

Serving as my outlet and my podium this blog will be the medium where I express my thoughts tormenting anyone who mistakenly wanders into this side of the world wide web, of my take on anything and everything that comes under my watchful and often judging mind.
