and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects.”

3. Red Queen
“In school, we learned about the world before ours, about the angels and gods that
lived in the sky, ruling the earth with kind and loving hands. Some say those are just
stories, but I don’t believe that. The gods rule us still. They have come down from the
stars. And they are no longer kind.”

4. Chinese Cinderella
“Please believe that one single positive dream is more important than a thousand

ang kasakiman ni Pagtuga. Unti-unting pumapayapa ito kapag nararamdaman niyang
nasa piling niya si Alapaap at patuloy na nagmamahal sa kanya.”

9. Wedding Dance
“She thought of the seven harvests that had passed, the high hopes they had in the
beginning of their new life, the day he took her away from her parents across the
roaring river, on the other side of the mountain, the trip up the trail which they had to
climb, the steep canyon which they had to cross.”

10. Dead Stars

“So all these years--since when?--he had been seeing the light of dead stars, long
 extinguished, yet seemingly still in their appointed places in the heavens.”

Technical Writing

cosmetic products on August 16, 1994 at the Frailey's Mainland Mall Store. The item is
your Brindisi Ultra Sable Mascara priced at $64.95. The sales girl sold me this mascara,
two shades of blush and a jar of Fango masque on this date.”

3. Adjustment letter, compensation for damaged freight

interpreter and debugger.”

assembly. (See Figure 2 for an illustration of the complete flashlight assembly.)”

7. Persuasion, In Favor of Recycling
