Mar 13 - Monday
Tests in English, Religion and Geometry were a little stiff but otherwise ok. I don’t know why but Im so tired of school. I can’t stand it. Oh well, 2 days more and finals. Nothing more interesting today. I have an awful cold, AGAIN! ........
Mar 14 - Tuesday
What a boomerang day! Test in Economics was a cinch. I skipped classes this pm and I knew very well I shouldn’t have. I painted my little wicker bag white this pm. I also accidentally stuck the ice pick in my hand. There’s a half millimeter hole in my hand and the blood really oozed out. It hurt too! Talked to Mercy too. Maripaz Godinez likes Honey and she in “Mustafa.” She and Rosarito really battle it out. Mercy says Rosarito doesn’t like me. That shrimp - hah!
Mar 15 - Wednesday
Test in History today was a complete catastrophe. This pm I went to “Sortiledge” practice. Rosarito was giving me “the look” not that I cared. Maripaz Godinez is so much fun. She’s so full of vitality and she’s very nice. She doesn’t like Rosarito either and she told me everything Rosarito said about me....grrrrr. Loads and loads of girls like Honey. Maripaz told me she likes Betina Herrero’s brother and not to tell anybody. She told me to call her up tomorrow. Those creeps who called the other night were none other than the illustrious Falcons. Se ve que no tienen nada que hacer.
Mar 16 - Thursday
Marina was in a real nasty mood this am. Gosh, just because I borrowed her measly radio, she blew up. This afternoon Mercy came home and spent the afternoon with me. She showed me a gorgeous picture of Kenneth Brimo which was simply dippy. That guy is so handsome. Nena and Nacho came home this pm because Nena had to get 2 themes I wrote for her. (I get Nena’s themes done and I was behind in mine? What a ditz I was.) Nacho is so nice. He asked me to the ANC tomorrow and its Daddy’s birthday. Kenneth called Mercy this evening. I’m so sleepy.
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.
