Jan. 5 - Thursday
Sister Eustasia is getting stricter every day phew! I went to the ANC and Acme this afternoon to get something for Daddy who is home finally. I talked with Mercy over the pone this evening and we were debating wether or not we should go to the Casino tomorrow or not. There will be no jam session, so Marina says. Honestly! How kj can some corny people get! Mercy says that Saturday we’re all going to the carnivale and that simply dippy brother of hers might take Karen as a blind date but told Mercy that if he didn’t like her, Margie or I would be his date!! ME, A DATE OF HONEY’S????!!!! That’s like asking for the impossible, but anyway Karen is nice.
Jan. 6 - Friday
Went to Mass alone this morning and then I went to the ANC. Everybody was there including Leo, Inger, Honey, etc. I got so excited when I saw Honey!! My heart skipped a beat! This afternoon I went to the Casino. Honey, Chiqui, and Albert picked me up. I walked in with Honey and Nacho was there. Boy he looked like a million dollars. Everybody was there. I caught Nacho looking at me twice and Honey once. There was no jam session this year and all the teeners were so mad! I talked to Freddy Franco about Arlette. When I talked with Nacho I looked straight into his eyes. Man I just get jellyish. I saw many people I hadn’t seen in a long time. Freddy Hernandez said hello to me. Dad let me go sailing tomorrow but Mom doesn’t!! Honestly she doesn’t let me do anything different or exciting. I’m NOT GOING TO FORGET THIS! Boy those heavenly eyes of Nacho’s. That mother of mine, boy, just to go sailing she won’t let me. Riding home in a taxi is more dangerous than that! Carlos Garcia gets cuter every day. Nacho! Honey!
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.
