The first newsletter was a good success, it seems! The comments were amazingly supportive and helpful, and already some changes have taken place (more or less) according to the received feedback.
Now. The change log consists of two parts: changes already made, and changes that still need to be done. After that, there'll be a discussion & suggestion section. The changes are listed in the exact order in which they were made.
This time I won't use colour codes, so as to keep those for suggestions only.

Szeretem
Szeretem a Világot, mert szép:
Szeretem a Sorsot, mert folyton közbelép.
Szeretem a varjakat, mert színezik a reggelt,
Szeretem, ha a piaci kofa azt mondja: "Elkelt!".
Szeretem a biciklim roskadozó hangját,
Szeretem a madarak kora őszi dalát.
Szeretem a piknik szállingózó illatát,
Szeretem a dús, magas, zöld lombú fát.
Szeretem a tavat, mert annyira szép,
Szeretem a gyümölcsöt, ha zamatos, ép.
Szeretem a hangot, mely betölti az utcát,
Szeretem a kis béka féltve őrzött kútját.
Szeretem, ha arcomba fúj a szél,
Szeretem, ha körülölel a tél.
Szeretem, hogy a hegyek nagyok,
Szeretem, hogy én itt em

Chapter 3
I ended up hanging out with Ryuji and the guys till dinnertime where I returned to my dorm to find Rin had made dinner. 'Oh wow Rin everything looks amazing, I didn't know you can cook.' I exclaimed as I took a bite, 'well cooking is one thing I do really well. Anyways where were you till now?' Rin asked as I continued to shovel food down. 'Oh I was hanging out with Ryuji and the guys.' I replied as Rin's eyes widened, 'since when are you so close with them?' 'Er I just met them today,' I replied with confusion. 'Yeah just a little odd that you guys are like best friends now.' Rin sulked as I couldn't help but smile, 'don't worry

They split the path before me
Daring me to venture either way
Neither wrong Neither right
But the choice changes life
forever.
Do you jump off the cliff's edge,
Faith as your guidance, only to
Break across the jagged rocks?
Or do you take the HIGH road,
Ignoring the cliff's call, only to
Regret not exploring those uncharted waters?
It's just another game of
Russian Roulette
We hope to God that Lady Luck's
On our side,
Though we still wish to feel

"Don't worry Korra," Bolin said, gently squeezing the young Avatar's shoulders. "There was nothing you could have done."
"I should have been there Bolin! I should have stopped it! I'm the Avatar for Spirits sake," Korra replied, spinning around to face him, anguish in her eyes.
"Korra..."
"No. It was my fault. I should have been there, instead of being on a stupid date."
Feeling his eyes mist over, Bolin turned his head away from the Avatar's gaze and focussed it onto the floor. "I'm sorry you thought it was a waste of your time Avatar," He mumbled, scuffing his feet as he made his way away from her.

"Mei! Look!" You called your best friend, Xiao Mei, who you just called Mei for short, excitedly.
"Yes ___?" She replied running towards you, full of bags filled with shopping, cute things and accessories.
It was the weekend and you two had gone to the shopping center to kill time- and a few bucks for fun. You two had been from everything from a candy store to a clothing store to an op shop to a bookstore. It had been a busy day.
"Look a Hello kitty plushy! And it's on sale! I want it!" You smiled dreamily as you walked into the shop where it was on sale with her following you intently. "Hm..." You had just switched

Don't tell me you love me if you are not sincere
For a lie that strong can ruin my life and bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved, fear to love ever again
It can cause my fragile heart to break, tear and bend.
Think of all in life that will be missed
because of one small broken promise
So, when I put all of my trust deep within you
Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do.

[Your POV]
I was sitting on the sofa drinking some red wine. My wonderful black dress matched my dark room.
"Oh, dear wine, how marvelous you are." Looking at the glass with admiration, I took a sip and looked at it again while gently shaking it.
"You're so red, like my prey's blood" I cynically chuckled and added. "You're so tasty, like my victim's neck."
I giggled and took another sip. "I wonder who will be this Halloween."
I closed my eyes for a little and opened them again. My precious red eyes looked around my dark room. I looked throught the window and smiled at the moon. "The moonlight it's so sad tonight."

Tears drip from my face
salt stains my skin
my anger grows
with the drip drop of salty tears.
"Why me?"
I always ask myself
"Why do I always have to be abused?"
I am not alone,
I know,
but I am the lone victim
of a long lasting vendetta,
a hatred that I have long since had.
The mirror, I see, to my soul grows darker
anger fills my veins
as I hold up a knife.
A voice screams "KILL!"
and another speaks calmly, "don't be rash"
As I drop the knife
I fall to my knees,
and sob silently.
All the people I hold dear
are to far away.
I have nobody,
not a person near,
that can help me.
Please,
oh please,
help me stay safe.

Sora: ♫ As I travel far in my journey
Behind my shadow, always by me
Your hand in my hand...
You were there to help me grow
When things are lost and I don't know
Our world is grand
Lift your face and hear me say
Wipe those salty tears away
Even I cry when you are gone
Your existance was no lied
You're my heart from the other side
We are what we are
You're my one ♫

You are you. I am me.

We have live worlds apart
You are you with your own heart

Wings Of Fire
Damages have been reversed
I have many flaws to be purged
Tempted for the gift of death to end this living curse
I plead for you to pass the torch
Hand over the destiny I've been waiting for
I can no longer endure this unbearable dirge
My pyre-
Send me off to the fiery abyss
My ignitor-
Free me from life's grip

Leave behind those memories

Calm can engulf the chaos
There's love behind the hate

Bright pink lips,
booty shorts,
a bikini top.
She gestures wildly,
beckoning every person
to have a dance with her.
Another drink goes down
and I'm pulled into her dance
where hips thrust wildly
and hands roam everywhere.
Yet when lips meet,
it's hollow and broken
sloppy and careless
no spark or real feelings.
I don't walk away
or even pull apart.
Our limbs mesh together more
and even though it's full of sweat
and nothing more than heat
I cannot bring myself to turn away.
This Siren has captured me,
and for the rest of the night
I'm hers.

[A MinaKushi fanstory]

By: Kaede Natsu Sakurano
"Minato! Quit joking with me!" Pink-haired Kushina pushed the 12-year old blonde boy away. Anger flashed in Kushina's grey eyes as she stared into Minato's blue ones.
Minato Namikaze shrugged, "I wasn't joking, I'm serious. I want you to go out with me." Kushina Uzumaki wasn't the type of girl that any boy would want to go out with. She concealed the nine-tailed fox beast within her body, so she was shunned by most of the village. Along with that, she was too serious. She knew that her genin classmate, Minato, was a joker and loved by everyone.

Upon me is the last dawn
Faded away has the last dusk
I leave behind all of the rights and wrongs
I don't deserve an afterlife that is also rough
Mesmerized in deep suspense
As I await the final arrival
My tears become so intense
These last moments of hope are vital

Allow me to break away
My deliverer
Accept the toll of my undying faith

I was careless as I fell
Mocking life itself
Every secret I held
Defined a broken side of myself
