Jan. 9 - Monday
Marina finally admitted to me this morning that she likes Nacho. It was about time too. Who did she think she was kidding by denying it?! Not that I blame her one bit after all it is Nacho Marti! She started to tell me again about what happened Jan. 6 in that party and I tactfully ???? her, as if I didn’t know! Margotin was giving nasty little hints that Honey was pulverizing me again but I don’t pay too much attention to her! I called Nena this evening to ask her to read to me the short summary of "Merchant of Venice" which she had but she couldn’t find it but was very nice about it. Anyway, she’s the nicest girl I’ve ever met. Classes were, as usual, passive and boring. I just live for weekends! Nacho, sigh.
Jan.10 - Tuesday
All Marina seems to be talking about these days is Nacho. She gave me a big juicy hint that she hoped he would ask her to go steady (not in so many words) but that’s her general idea. She keeps asking me who I like and though I once told her she thought I was joking and she keeps asking me. I’ll never, never tell her its Nacho. (Left out 2 sentences too stupid to type) I went to practice in Tita ???? house this afternoon. Mom picked me up with Freddy Hernandez. Come to think of it, he’s not so bad looking at all but he doesn’t have blue eyes!
About Me
- Lea
- Brooklyn, New York, United States
- I was born in a Japanese concentration camp in Los Baños, Laguna in 1944 and raised in Manila. I spent my grade school years in Maryknoll College and high school years at St. Paul's College of Manila. I spent most of my summer leisure time at the Army Navy Club of Manila. I married a nice American man in 1965 and moved to New York. In 1969, I left New York for Barcelona and lived there 8 years. I returned to the States in 1977 and lived there until 2011. I visit Manila and Barcelona as often as I can. I have a lovely daughter and granddaughter.My father, Hal Bowie, died in Manila in 1974, and my mother, who moved back to Barcelona after his death, died in 1995. I retired from Polytechnic University (now NYU-Poly)in 2011 after 27 years! After moving to Florida I returned to NY after 8 years and now am living again in my first home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
