Dissapointed.. :/

Assalamualaikum and hello...

Dissapointed. Yes I was dissapointed with myself. Early this day, I tried to compose an essay. Well the topic was about beauty. It was one of the optional questions from the spm paper from where I'm not sure. The point is, yesterday I tried writing with my neighbour and it seems that I was trying to make a novel rather than a short essay. So I jave decided to remake  a new essay. This time I use a different type of storyline. After awhile I finally finished my essay. When I showed my essay to my mom, it turns out that the essay that I've wrote has lots of grammatical error.

Come to think of it, maybe my whole post were filled with grammatical errors. Oh, another problem that I noticed from my essay was lack of vocabulary  knowledge. I tend to make long sentences. Yet I know that less is better. Hmm...the probem was, when I was writing, I can't seem to find the perfect words that could make the sentence shorter. I hope that I could find a good alternative to solve this problem of mine, and by typing all of my posts in English were one of it.

P.S: I'm sorry to be such a bore to you readers [if there was one], and for the wrong grammars. Hehe...any comments would be helpful. :-P

 

The Power Of Love [an article from Reader's Digest 2008]

Assalamualaikum and Good Day readers!

As you can see from the title of this post, this article that I'm going to share with you were not originated from  me. My intentions was just to share with you this article because somehow this article makes y heart go pop pop pop with excitement and butterflies started to flutter inside my big tummy.. hehe.. anyway enjoy reading!

He Took Her By Surprise

Aric Egmont knew he had to calm down or he was going to blow it. After all, who breaks out into nervous sweat while doing the crossword puzzle? If he didn't relax he was sure to clue his girlfriend, Jenny Bass, into the fact that this was no ordinary Sunday Boston Globe. This was his marriage proposal. 

  The two, both 29- he works in communications and she studies public health - had dated for four years, and never discussed marriage. Why mess up a good thing went the thinking. But Aric was having second thoughts. And since they were such  fanatics, he says, proposing via the tiny boxes of crossword puzzle "was a more natural idea than it seem to other people." 

  So last May, he contacted the Globe. They loved the idea and asked that he feed them personal info that would be turned into clues. Then he waited...for four,tortuous months. 

  On the morning of September 23, having not slept the entire night before, Aric asked Jenny in as nonchalant a voice as he could muster, " Oh, do you want to do the crossword puzzle?"

  Jenny was immediately struck by the amount of clues that coincided with people and places in her life. "This is such a crazy coincidence," she told Aric.

  Twenty across stated :  "Lover of Theseus." Ariadne - whose namesake is a childhood friend of Jenny's.

  Seventy-three across : "One of the Judds." Naomi, also Jenny's sister's name.

  Ninety-one across ; "NASCAR driver Almirola." Answer: Aric.

  Six down : "Culebra was their favorite vacation spot."

  Aric began scanning ahead to where the big clue was. " I knew the moment was coming," he said. And there it was. One-eleven across: "Generic proposal." Clever, he thought, a word play on Jen and Aric. The clue next to it was "Winston's mother."

  "Look at that," said Aric. "Will you marry me, Jenny." he waited for a reaction . He didn't get one. Jenny is a smart person, but this was information overload - all brain circuits were on the brick. Aric got down on his knees, produced a ring and, quoting the Sunday Boston Globe crossword puzzle, asked,  "Will you marry me, jenny?"

  After tears and shrieks and loads of  "I-love-yous!" Jenny said yes.

  "I'm not the most romantic person," admits Aric. " I think I was playing above my head on this one."

  Naturally, the following week's crossword puzzle was a tad anti-climactic.
