My First Open Letter

dear english,

hi, is me! hope you dont forgot me that easily for sure.  we've been together since elementary school days, you remember now? by the way, i would just like to thanks you alot for all your helping for me. i can't count how many thankyous i owe you.  you help me understand how to read and to write and to speak too. not only thats, you even make me learn how to use internet. and my knowledge comes more deeper. because before, its only deep. but who would have guess that someone like me can achieve such achievements. now, my english skill is more deeper! thanks.

im sorry coz i forgot your email that's why i only post this letter here in my blog. actually, i was plan to send this to a snail, but i can't find one. the technology is very high now indeed.  first, i was think to text you. but my little brother borrow my nokia ngage qd for school to brag with his friends. if you can only see the look in his face, he is so exciting. and im so love my brother. he's looks alike like me, but smaller version. of course, i'm cuter than him. (i guess i will buy mine a new phone for myself.)

ok, as i was say. you really make me learn a lot of new things. almost all ebooks and tutorials i download from rapidshare are in english. and i can't imagine myself imagining how learning them can possible without you. coz you are the international language. (uy, congrats.)

although, sometimes i blame you for making me sound like stupid and conio and maarte coz it's very not like me in real person. my friends knows that i'm just a simple guy and attest on that.  i was curse you once time in my life to not use you anymore and love my own inherit from my filipino ancestors. our great pinoy superhero, jose rizal make me patriotic to our heritage and language. for that, i came bias to you and reject to learn more about you.

but times change. everybody and everyone and everything was different now. not only the global is warning, but also is time for globalization in information and communication and technology. and i look forward to communicate not only with my own race. i am a broader think now. no more discrimination to other nationalitys. coz a lot of race out there don't know filipino or tagalog. that's why i was decide to use you again. let's both have a great learning experience.

see you later. joe.

(ps. if you know email of your others friend like chinese, japanese, spanish, etc., please let me know. i want to speak with them also. coz i want to learn how to read and write them. thank you again.)

lovelots,
renji caranijuan

According to the widely used solar calendar introduced by Gregory XIII, today is Saturday, 5th day of January, 2008 CE. And that makes January 1st to be a "New Year". But if we're to observe another calendar system based on lunar or cycles of moon phases, Chinese people know that their "New Year" or Spring Festivity will be on the 7th of February 2008 CE.
