Prologue
Look at the world, yeah go on and look at it. Now tell me, What do you see? Home? Life? Secrets? Death? Anything? Well most people always see it differently. But they never see what’s right in front of them.
When you look at the world you always see the small things. You never see the big obvious things that lurk in the shadows of every dark corner .
Well some of us see it, others… don’t. You’d be surprised sa pamamagitan ng ever secret, every hidden thing yet to be discovered… or never will.And I...

1) Spelling and Grammar

Spelling and grammar is the first thing you worry about. If there are many spelling/grammatical errors, the story doesn't flow very well. You don't have to be an expert, but you at least should have a dictionary nearby and know the basic rules of grammar. You'll pick up on madami the madami you write.

2) Know Your Topic

First and foremost, after spelling and grammar, you must know what you're Pagsulat about. And I don't just mean a topic in general. For example,...

Mommy... Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his mga kaibigan that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold!
But Mommy, when I went school that day,
I never sinabi good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go, But Mommy, please don't cry. When Johnny shot
the gun, He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny, Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I pag-ibig him very much,
And please tell Chris; my boyfriend; That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell...

I like to sing. No, scratch that. I love to sing. Just... not in front of people. It's not really my cup of tsaa performing for everyone who wants to hear me. How would I be able to sing when people are screaming my name?

"LEE! LEE! LEE!"

What a nightmare that'd be.

When I'm alone I can hum a sweet tune to myself, but never when there are a couple of people around. Someday, I'm gonna get over my stage-fright and when I do, I'll be able to sing in front of millions of people as I become a bituin around the world. Unfortunately, I believe my phobia of the spotlight will keep me from getting to my goal....

Chapter Fourteen

It wasn’t the hapunan that they didn’t had before. It was very different. It was a hapunan of confusion especially for the two little girls.

During the hapunan of steak, mashed potatoes, and peas, Mac and Izzie watched their Mama and Mr. Sean eat their hapunan in silent even through Mac saw Sean giving her mother some glimpses of his grins to Jamie to tell her that this was a great hapunan she served. Hoping that Mama saw those grins that Sean saw her, the only thing she saw that her mother was just eating her dinner, drinking her Iced Tea, and wiping the messes that was on Jake’s...

Poem #1: Seasons Change (Free verse)
Seasons change;
what does that mean?
It feels like magic.
As the cold fades away,
replaced sa pamamagitan ng sunny warm days,
and the sun shines bright
in the era of Summer.
And the snow falls silently
and you see your breath,
clouding the chilly air in the Winter.
Spring and Autumn, all their own,
after the winter days have flown.
Spring brings its joy with the crisp fresh air,
and Summer comes along,
Autumn follows sa pamamagitan ng with the tumbling leaves,
as each season passes by,
I wonder what makes it change,
I guess I might never know
unless I try hard enough to see.
But if I must come to a conclusion...
