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 “ 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

REACTION:

          Honestly, when I first read the letter, I found it funny. The sender of the letter sounded like she was sending a threat to the recipient. All that was running in my mind was the sender of the letter is very brave of writing such in English when she doesn't even know how to do it the right way. When I tried correcting the grammatical errors, some parts were easy but some would make me think really hard. I don't know what she was trying to say or express. What made it more obscured is the fact that she used Tag-lish sentences. There were Tagalog words that when you translate in English would not make any sense at all. To fix the errors in this letter, I did not only translate some words in English but I even had to remove unnecessary or inappropriate words. In short, it was very hard to understand and of course, to translate as well.

  

REVISED VERSION:

October 1996,
To Marije

I am not surprised or even wondered why Dennis left you. What reason can you think of other than your very fat body? Before, I thought that Dennis was using me as his toy but then I realized that he cannot bear to be with you anymore. It's all because Dennis said he could not stand your habit of interfering with whatever his appointments are and for always calling to their house right when he gets home.

And then he said that he got ashamed of you both in school and in his family.  He asked you to exercise your very, very fat body, but you hate it. You thought that you’re the prettiest girl he knows? Who do you think you are, the “beautiful girl” being referred to in Jose Mari Chan’s song?

Even if you have a beautiful face (like what you think) you do not have the right to call me whatever you want or in a different name many times which I know, the real purpose is to insult my personalities because I never called you names neither in front nor behind Dennis' back. But if you start calling me again in different names, I don’t have any other choice but to do the same to you as well. I will call you names such as PIG, FAT, OBESE, OVERWEIGHT and a GIRL WITH AN UGLY SHAPE . Shame to your fat body.

            You can’t blame Dennis for choosing me over you because I am sexier than you when you compare us in the mirror. I repeat, you look like Lozada when she was still a girl.

                                                                                                                           Love,

                                                                                                                          The sexiest girl of D.M. 

P.S.

You said that I have a bad breath but who of us does Dennis want to kiss? Is it me or you? And the final answer is me. There you go.
