To Marjie,
I am not surprise or wander why Dennis leave you. Why? What reason can you
think about but youre very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me
to his toy but sooner and later Im realize that he really cant not beared or
stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not
stand youre 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 met either in school or in his family and then
asking you to exercise youre very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought
your the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are
Beautiful Girl of Jose Marie Chan? Even you are beautiful face (to your think)
you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else different name one
time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because Im
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 dont 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 youre body that is to a BUDING.
You cant not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more
sexier than you when you look to us in the mirror. Im repeat again that you are
like Ike Lozada when she is a girl.
Love,
The Sexiest Girl of D.M.
