just a clip from my speech class...
------------------------------------
Hi, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brendon Macaraeg.
I live in the wacky world of Calasiao, Pangasinan.
I was born in Ambuetel Calasiao and raised there so I am a true Pinoy boy. There are no a lot of things to do in Ambuetel Calasiao so I ended up watching movies all the time. I Loved action movies and was inspired by them. In the 7th grade I decided that I was going to go to Hollywood someday and be an actor. When I made this decision, I cut off all other possibilities of what I would do with my life. I figured I would have to wait until I finished school and then move on to bigger and better things abroad.
While living in Ambuetel Calasiao waiting to get through school so I could move to other places, I took an interest in reading books about other countries and to learn their culture. Most of all, to learn how they talk, think, behave and all of that. In my 3rd year in high school, I begin to speak good English. Thats based on what my teachers and friends told me. I enjoyed participating in most school writing and speech contest, too bad I didnt win major awards. But those happenings didnt change my ambition to pursue learning English and be in Hollywood one time. I think I am near there. I just dont know how far the word near is.
I began to talk to foreign people through the use of Internet Chatting. I bet all of you know about Yahoo Messenger when I was in my senior year in high school. I have lots of friends all over the world. I have a friend from Germany, Canada, all over USA, and some parts of Europe. Ive been talking to them for a few years already and still getting in touch with them every time I am in front of my old but good toy (my HP COMPAQ NC6000). My toy helps me cross over the oceans, mountains and any other barrier that will cause me not to get in contact with my friends. Soon, I will cross the oceans and mountains with my toy. I am very certain that I could do that.
Thank you for the time listening to my not so exciting life. I hope you enjoy listening.
