Feb 3 - Friday


I rang the bell exactly on time and my classmates were simply shocked to find me in school so early. We had Benediction and Holy Hours. This evening Mercy, Marilen Lanusa, Tessie Bernia, Monse and I went to the ABS TV Studios for “Jam Session” The Strads do very good and Bert Silos is very attractive. So is Salvador. I didn’t know anybody there except Leo Kahn. Big deal! Bobby Ng is very nice. Mom and Pop, etc. saw me on TV. Leonard Von Guise drove us down D’Marks and then Tessie’s cousin or something Frankie Rodriguez drove us home. He is also very nice.



Feb 4 - Saturday

Mass this am in school. My classmates and everybody else saw me on TV last night (ugh) including Tita Carmen Marti. Kenneth wasn’t at the ANC this am and that’s why Mercy went. Marina had a real sexy sweater on this morning hoping Nacho would be there. He went sailing instead with 2 girls and a boy. Nena, Lita, Mercy, Conchita, Maribel and I went to see “GI Blues” again today. That Elvis is a real knockout! When he comes here - WOW!! Kenneth was in the movies. He sat beside Mercy. He’s very handsome. At the ANC later Nacho, Jose Luis, Tim Wells and a girl came to pick Nena up.

Feb 5 - Sunday


What a nice day. Went to Mass and Communion today at 10 AM Then of course to the ANC. Conchita, Maribel, Marina were there. Marina was mad at me. Ate lunch at Conchita’s home and then we went to the movies with Lita, Marisol, Conchita, Mercy, Margie, Maribel to see “The Magnificent Seven” Wonderful picture. Kenneth sat beside Mercy and Marina sat beside Nacho. Tony Ortigas was also there. Kenneth is really very nice. Dita Veloso sat beside me and she says I’m invited to the Beep Beeps party and that she gave my invitation to Margotin and Magu doesn’t tell me a thing! We went to the ANC after the movies. We were all laughing in the Sunset Lounge. Later Mercy and Margie left and Nacho and came. Once Marina called for me and Mercy answered, gave the phone to Nacho and he handed it right away to me. He said out loud he likes me, not Marina, best .....??!! He danced boogie with me 2 times and one slow and boogie with Lita. He’s invited us to sailing Saturday. I hope I can go. He’s the most and I’m glad he doesn’t fight with me like he does with Marina.....



Feb. 6 - Monday

Marina is up on some sort of cloud these days. This am Sister Mary Angela let me sing something on her tape recorder. I sang “When I Fall In Love.” It came out better than I thought and my voice didn’t sound so bad. Dita Veloso called me this pm asking me about their party on Saturday. She’s very nice. She’s coming over tomorrow to do book reports, also with Mercy who as usual talks about Kenneth these days. Some people are just plain lucky because Kenneth is a walking dream. Cosme is going to Marina’s party. Why am I so happy about this?!!.



Feb. 7 - Tuesday

I’m so excited about this weekend and it might be as nice as I think it will be. I only hope, hope, hope...Anyway “too much expectation ends in frustration.” Magoo finally gave me the invitation and she was so nice about it. Marina is really crazy for Nacho. I don’t blame her either. Mercy called this evening and she says Kenneth won’t go to Marina’s party. Too bad, it would’ve been so nice if he goes. Nena came over this evening and I helped her with her book reports. She lent me 4 Emilie Loring books. She’s very nice. She left at 7 pm. I’m not doing so good in History, ay naku. I just can’t concentrate but if there’s a will there’s a way.

Note: February 7, 1960 (last year) was when we walked over to Victor’s house from the Falcons’ game against Monarchs and Carlos Garcia walked all the way with me and he was so nice and I guess since he’s always been of the top, if not the top of my list!!
