Have you ever led to the destruction of someone else’s relationship? I have. But not in a ‘third party’ kind of way. A few years ago, I found out a friend’s boyfriend was overtly flirting with girls in his college. I told the best friend of my friend so she’ll be warned. She broke up with him and I believe…to this day…that the guy in question hates me. Shortly after, I found out the boyfriend of my friend was scum …so I kept convincing my friend to break up with him. She did. And I got word that had I been a guy, the scum and his entire barkada would’ve beaten me to a pulp.
More recently, I could have indirectly caused a rift between two sets of potential lovers. How?
Well, as I’ve said, I used to do the mail sorting as a marketing assistant for a magazine company. Sometimes, I would get mail that was sent to us by mistake. Since I’m too lazy to return them to the mailman, I would either throw them away or….read them. I kept two interesting love letters that, because of a lazy marketing assistant, did not reach their intended recipients. What if they lost their chance for true love because they didn’t get their lover’s message?…this is as riveting as Griffin and Sabine…(background music of ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’ plays)…
 

Love letter 1 (again, I wrote it exactly as written…those cases of wrong spelling and grammar or usage errors are not typos. Those in parentheses are just my side comments):
 
April 8, 2003

Dearest Clariss,

Hi and have a nice day! (Parang “Hello and goodbye!” to ah)

I don’t know where to start, but I have to, to lessen the troubled mind I had. (you also need to lessen your usage of commas and apostrophes in your letter)

But before diving to the deepest part of this piece, may I greet you “Kamusta kana”? I really missed you a lot. The reason why, even if am far from you, I tried to make a phone call just to listen you voice, coz I started longing for you since the very first time we became friend’s.  But whatever the thruth behind this, I won’t stop loving you and wanting you. I have learned to love you Riz. And it can’t be erazed anymore. I hope you understand what I really mean.

By the way, thanks a lot, just today, when when we berth along side at Brindis, Italy. (The guy is a navy officer…or a seaman, I forget. So by berth he means they were moored or they disembarked in Italy.) I received your most awaited letter and the picture enclosed.
And this is my second letter am sending to you, I don’t know if you have already my first letter also with picture I enclosed with.

Riz, to tell you frankly you really fazzled my mind, who and what’s the real you. At first it’s hard to believed.
Am just praying and hoping to see you soon as I finished my contract. Am eager enough toward’s knowing you in person.

I said, I never stop from loving you. We’ll see in person someday, maybe by first or second week of August, 2003. So I think I have to park now my pen coz it’s time for my duty.

And I have also enclosed herewith my ugly picture, just keep it, and never let those mice around your house play with it. (nice sense of humor…but unfortunately, the mice in Riz’s house never got your picture to play with in the first place.)  

Riz, am so sorry for penmanship maybe you hard for it to read, but am trying my best to send you, to be fear in your part, k ba? (I didn’t get that…he wasn’t lying about his bad penmanship though)

Lastly! It would be my 28^th berth day this Sunday, April 13, 2003. (Okay, I was able to explain the previous usage of ‘berth’ but this one…hmmm)

I’ll be seeing you soon, regard’s to friend’s and family.

Take a lot of care…God bless also in whatever you and wherever you go.

Pls! Don’t stop me of loving you Riz, I really mean it.
I’ll call you by phone!

Loving you,
(Name of lover boy withheld. I hope he did call her.)
 

Love Letter 2:

My Everdearest txtm’8,
Hello! Musta kna? Ako, ito sa awa ng panginoon…magaling na, kaya nga naalala agad kita, pero kung saan pa na nakahanda na akong harapin ka, ay saka naman nawala sa ‘kin…Ano ba naman ang nangyari sayo, bakit di mo ginagamit ang dating zimcard mo? (it’s either he lost his cellphone or…he’s just not that into you dear) Ayaw mo nab a sa’kin? Alam mo,mula ng ibenta ko ang cellphone ko, hindi kita kinalimutan, nanatili ka sa puso’t isip ko, nag pagaling ako para sayo. Ikaw ang naging inspirasyon ko sa pagtanggap ng mga bagay na di ko kayang tanggapin noon, pero bakit kung saan pang naging espesyal ka sa’kin saka ka pa mawawala? Noli, please! Bumalik kana sa akin! Kung may asawa kana o di kaya’y girlfriend, di naman kita guguluhin…promise! Basta bumalik ka lang sa’kin as my bestfriend, please! Noli, alam mo noong huling gabing nag-uusap tayo, umiyak ako noon, dahil di kita kayang ibigay sa Auntie kong si Jean, pero dahil siya lang ang makakatulong sa’tin para mag-kita, pinilit kitang makipag textm’8 sa kaniya, pero di ko akalaing ang huling pa-uusap nating ‘yon ay maging ending din ng ating komunikasyon. (Don’t you get it, while you’re agonizing over Noli, he’s been shagging auntie Jean na pala!) Friend, please! Nakikiusap ako sayo, text kana ulit sakin, oh! Ito ang new no. ko: #0920-xxxxxxxx. Hihintayin ko text mo sa’kin ha? Please! Mangako ka sa’kin!

Alam mo araw-araw tinetext kita nagbabakasakali akong gamitin mo ulit ang zimpack mo, pero hindi mo na ginagamit kaya nagdecide ako na sumulat sayo, sa address na binigay mo, kaya, umaasa din ako na kung matatanggap mo na ang sulat na ito ay babalikan mo na ako at magreresponse ka rin sa sulat at sa dating picture na ipinadala ko diyan sayo, di ba? Noli, nami-miss na talaga kita, marami ka nang di nalalaman, mula ng magkasakit ako.

Noli, hihintayin kita kung kalian ka babalik, nandito lang ako kung kailan mo kailangan. Sana sa lalong madaling panahon makabalik kana agad. Mahal mo rin ako di ba? INGAT! ka palagi, wherever you are, whatever you do…Always remember that “EVERYDAY, I LOVE YOU!

Farewell to you my bestfriend….

Love you so much,
Thelma

Don’t worry Thelma and navy boy…I was dealt my karma…a non-existent love life.
