LTINS: Dear Dora The Explorer

Dear Dora The Explorer,

Happy Birthday and I hope I can make your day happy indeed.

I am so sorry. It is not my intention to imitate you. It just happened. I never thought it would come to this. My baby is a boy and I am not allowing him to watch something feminine in any sense so I do not let him watch you most of the time.

However, I have gotten too tired about my fly-away and tangled hair and have finally decided to ask the lady barber to cut it out. 

And here is how I look now, I looked just like you. I think it is just the bangs that is missing. My friends are calling me "Dora" now.

Forgive me Dora. I promise to have a new hair style in the next few days. 

Truly Yours,

Anne the Explorer

Hehe! I actually had my hair cut in a salon last Sunday and I just asked the beautician to cut it straight. Surprisingly this was the result. Somehow, I don't like but just for a change I will let it stay this till it gets a little longer before I could have another hair style.

LTINS: Dear Tropang 5 + 1

There shouldn't be any biased so I decided to address my letter to my dearest group of friends. 

I have once shared how we have spent our lives together back in our college days and I am just so happy that I still have them.

This will be my first post for my first time to join:

Dearest Beth, Kat, Dhang, Nheng and Jho,

My other friends would probably pinch my groin when I have said that this is without favoritism while I have chosen you to be my subject for this post.

Well, I bet you knew already how I treasure everyone of you. You have been part of my wonderful existence in this world.

Beth the conservative - you might not be able to fully relate to my not so wholesome stories but you are there to understand. I am thankful that you have not dropped me despite my being liberated and all.

Kat with an "h" portraying the role of a perfect daughter - I may be your opposite in that sense but still you are so supportive of me. Not as an enabler (google's term for kunsintidora)  or a spoiler (accdg to niko)  in some sort but someone who has simply broadened her mind to appreciate my well-being.

Dhang my partner in crime - we are but firm keepers (really?) of each others' darkest  secrets while the rest of them will just know things eventually. You were the very first I have met among them and you have acted as my closest confidante even you are miles away now.

Nheng the most thoughtful sweetie - despite being a villain to you, you never failed to recognize me. I may have been your most contradicting friend but see where I am now - I am your apprentice and you are my mentor. 

Jho a foster friend - I can still remember how you have welcomed me to your home while I was once a stow away. You have also shown your deepest concern in me.

BRUs you are all important to me. You are more than my sisters I cannot live without. I thank you for accepting the real me, for being such open-minded individuals who still care for me despite of. No words can describe how much I am grateful for having you all and the rest of my friends out there. I am indeed lucky and can even be considered as the richest of all for being blessed with so much friends.

My apology if I have offended you at times. I love you guys.




Your youngest and chubbiest sister,


Anne
