However, writing is one of the most challenging skills in learning second language. In fact, learner's error in second language resulted from the learner's assumptions that second language and native language are formed similarly and from negative transfer within the target language which are known as Interlingual and Intralingual errors respectively (Sari, 2016). In the Philippine setting, the result of the study conducted by Magno (2014) showed that error analysis among Education, major in English students yielded errors in verb tense, structure, punctuation, choice of words, spelling and so on. In line with this, the present study aimed at identifying and classifying the writing errors of the third-year college of education, English major student which will serve as the basis for an intervention program that will hone their writing skills.

Europa, daughter of King of Sidon, despite being implicitly abducted it caused her great fortune. She was deceived by the beauty of a bull, which she trusted facilely. Just like the many of us, easily deceived. Though it is not the same as in the myth. In reality, we receive various offer from life. We at times take abrupt decisions without hesitation. Being caught unconsciously because we are blinded by its looks physically or because we only see what we wanted to see. It was just a bull. Howbeit, the unusual beauty of it; the bright chestnut color; the silver circle on its brow and horns that was like crescent of the young moon were something to be doubt with. Though she doubted it. It was too late. She was on it being taken to Crete. And there Zeus made her the mother of Minos and Rhadamanthus who were rewarded for their justice upon the earth by being made the judges of the dead. On the contrary, we too will never know, unless we try. Mass of "what if' will surely fill our heads. What will happen if Europa did not ride on that bull? What if she just ignored it? Just like in real life, so many questions and if we try then receive bad things out of it we tend to regret. Terrible regret for sure, that we wanted to turn back time if we only could. But that is life. Learn from our mistakes. From there we grow. We became wiser. Thus, Trust is not something we give and gain easily. So, Trust heedfully, be not deceived facilely.

Once strong, then weakened, miserably hopeless then abruptly changed. Howbeit, change depends on how one would want it to be, either positive or negative. As experiences hone us to who we would become. It takes brain, at times an apace wise move in deed. If one wants to change the end, courage, heart and mind are crucial. Polyphemus, a cyclops: hideous and huge; tall as great mountain crag; bigger than any God and feared none of them. Just like the many of us, we changed because of varied circumstances in our lives. Some may change from positive to negative and for some it is the other way around. Though may brought by the impact of our experiences still, it is our choice. To Polyphemus, after his dreadful experience caused by Odysseus, I may say, he had changed. Whilst grown milder, he too became helpless suffering creature Odysseus had left. The next story about him, he was not terrifying at all, but a most poor credulous monster. Whilst he fell in love with Galatea, sister of Doris. Aside from being in love, singing mournful love song, he should have regained himself, instead of just sitting wretched and helpless on the shore. He could do something useful to himself or to his own kind as he is the favored son of Poseidon. He could have been better. Once I was him, hopeless. But it tires me. For once I decided not to waste my life. That mine, not so good experience, became a stepping stone to move up and forward. I meant not to forget that past. To always remind me of who I want to become. To Odysseus, I admire his being wise. In such scenario, frightened; had witnessed a hideous death of his men; prisoned with a monster in a cave where escape was by luck. Though it

Something that we can tell it is, only in the end. Something that we need to decide to. More than great effort, perseverance and determination it requires trust, respect and pure love. Sometimes the feeling is deceiving. Sometimes we think we have found it but actually it is not. Whilst sometimes we do not care at all until we lose it, then regret. Just like what happened in the story of Cupid and Psyche. "I can spend the rest of my life searching for him. If he has no more love left for me, at least I can show him how much I love him" as Psyche uttered while in full regret of what she had done. If only she did not yielded to temptation it would not had happened. On the other hand, that scenario had brought truth to Psyche. One thing was so sure to her that very moment and that was she would never give up. And so she did. Both of them, Cupid and Psyche did not give up on their love for each other. It is one of the many story that has inspired me. It inspires me to continuously treasure the love I have right now till we reach the end. The many trials that we had surpassed and the many more trials to come will only make us even stronger. Just like what Psyche did in the story, despite the many impossible trials had given to her she was able to surpass it all because of love and all that encompasses it. And I believe that even in reality that can be done too. If love is true and if both are decided and sure to have love endlessly, nothing is impossible.

That is why instead of providing answer about the meaning of the text or presenting methodologies on how to discover text meaning, deconstruction asks new set of questions endeavoring 'what a text claims, it says' 'what a text actually says are discernibly different'. Under binary opposition, one center of unity automatically means that another is decentered. The methodologies that Bressler posited in the book are as follow: First, in deconstructive reading, it is to recognize the existence and operation of the binary opposition in our thinking as readers. Second, upon recognition and acknowledging the binary opposition, we can now proceed to reversing its elements. Then when the hierarchy is reversed, we can now examine the values and beliefs that give rise to both the original hierarchy and the newly created one. Such examination reveals how the meaning of the term arise from the differences between them. Simply it suggests that text has multiple meaning. So, re-reading and re-interpretation are suggested making the ultimate meaning of the text undecidable. More so, Deconstructor seek to override their own logocentric and inherited ways of viewing the text. Thus, find the binary opposition, then reverse it because this limits us and leading us to stick to what we believe.
