Jan.7 - Saturday
I did go sailing after all today and boy it was really dippy! I could have sailed on forever and ever....I sat beside Nacho 1/4 of the time and when the boat tipped sideways I was very near him I just tingled all over!! Every time he looked at me with those blue eyes of his I just can’t seem to think straight. It seems that Nacho and Marina had a real cool time at a party last night so Nena tells me. Well, I’m beginning to practice terrific self control. I mean, when you’ve fallen like a ton of bricks for a guy and he doesn’t even know you’re alive well, after all I’m only human. Didn’t realize until today how much feelings I have for him. He’s just the well ...the dippiest...Nacho Nacho....
Jan. 8 - Sunday
Mercy, Margie and I went to Mass early this morning. Ate breakfast at home and then we went to the ANC. Vin Baretto was there and many other people including Sam, Kenneth, Juaco, etc. We had fun. I talked with Nena a lot over the phone. I was supposed to have a date with Kenneth this pm after a long drawn out argument with good old Arno, I didn’t go. Not that I didn’t want to. After all Kenneth isn’t exactly ugly, in fact he’s gorgeous! But...??? I went with Maribel, Nena and Inger to Maribel’s apartment. Jose Luis picked us up. Inger and I were dancing and, anyway, it was fun. Maribel Franco’s apartment is simply dippy. I told Nena and Inger I like Nacho but I think Marina has beaten me to home base. Nena is just the nicest person I know!
About Me

- 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.
