Blog Entry 1: What are you really trying to say?

I bet that everyone had experienced already misinterpretations in their lives. Personally, I had one that I could never forget. That was the time when Super Typhoon "Ondoy" occurred the Philippines. I was staying in Manila that time and I was able to witness the heavy rain, no electricity, no water and high flood. The roads were extremely inaccessible due to the flood so my parents were not able to fetch and bring me in a safer place, our home in Laguna. My roommates and I got stranded for about two days in the dorm , the only food available was my stock of biscuits and low volume of water left in the water dispenser. Luckily, I was able to reserve my phone's battery and used it in calling my family continuously until I reached them even though the signal was very poor that time. I had a hard time relaying my concerns and updating my condition to my parents because of that. Perhaps, I was able to talk with them for only a minute and told them that I was having difficulty in getting enough signal to contact them. I informed them also that there was nothing to panic because I was safe in the dorm.Suddenly, the line turned down and I could not longer reached them after the line got cut. I felt bad because I was so worried to my  too. In the evening, I told my roommates that I could not go to sleep. And they thought that I still wanted to stay up late so they invited me to share stories the whole night. But the truth was, I could not sleep because it was too hot in our room since electricity's down all over the town.

Based-on my opinion, locutionary is the sensitive stage among the rest of the speech act. Everything follows once locutionary has been made. A person must be particular on how he delivers a certain thought so that the person whom he is talking would not be confused.
