Feb 13 - Monday
Sister didn’t get mad at me this morning though I thought she would. Margotin was very nice this morning. These are one of her better days. Nena called me this evening its funny how I was thinking she would this morning. I’ll bring the books I have of hers to the ANC tomorrow afternoon. Mercy is a little, well let say catty these days. I guess she’s all confused. I don’t know what’s wrong with Mom today. She keeps giving me some sort of look. What have I done now? Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. One name keeps popping up - Nacho. “Dreeaammmm....
Feb 14 - Tuesday - Happy Valentine’s Day!
As I said..dreeeaaammm....The only Valentines I got today were from Marina and Cora Alvina. Today Sister let us (the class) use the tape recorder. We had a sort of radio program and I was the emcee. Everybody said my voice sounded very well and I did ok. I wish I had a tape recorder of my own. Kenneth hasn’t called Mercy since last Friday. I guess its because she snubbed him at the Assumption Fair last Sunday? Today I went to the ANC after I was to give Nena her books. Lita, Conchita, Maribel, etc. were there. Nena arrived later and I went home with her.
Feb 15 - Wednesday
Today has been a nice day in school. Mrs. Buencamino gave me polboron and bibinka during Recess and Sr. Mary Angela let me use the tape recorder. Margot Pimentel composed a song “Sometime” which is pretty good. We all sang after classes. Margotin is so nice these days. Went to TB practice this evening. Rosarito C has a crush on Honey and Mercy tells me Maricris Taberna loves Honey a lot. Kenneth is mad at Mercy and though Mercy doesn’t say anything she wishes he would call her up again. The maids said a certain M. Cacho called for me this evening. I wonder who??I wonder if the day will ever come when some nice cute guy likes me and it so happens I’ll like him. Tita Totoy and Tita Betty are just riotous.

Feb. 8 - 12, 1961
Feb. 8 - Wednesday
Dreary day in school. This afternoon I asked permission from Sister Eustasia to go shopping and be excused from classes and she said yes. Of course, I changed my story a little but the answer is what counts. Went to Tita Mariane’s house to get my costume for Marina’s party. A Swiss costume. Hope it looks good on me. Lita is not going to Marina’s party and if this keeps up Marina and I will be dancing with each other. Went to Anti-TB practice today. Tita Totoy and Tita Betty are just the absolute end. I never laughed so hard in my whole life. I hope this weekend will be nice. Oh please!! This can’t happen to me again!! Our maids almost killed each other today. What a fight they had. Went shopping this pm.
Feb 9 - Thursday
I’m 5 themes, 5 book reports, one workbook, 3 notebooks (and some other things I haven’t noticed yet) and 4 experiments late in school work and I expect to pass??!! Only a miracle will save me now. Its all my fault for being so lazy! Marina is so excited about her party and about half the people she invited won’t go. I only hope for her sake, mine and everybody else’s, that it isn’t a big flop. I tried on my costume this evening and its so pretty. I called Nena this evening and we were talking for a while and then Nacho talked to me about sailing Saturday and the party tomorrow. I hope this ends up to be a nice weekend in more ways than one!
Feb 10 - Friday
All day long I was excited about the party of Marina’s. Margie, Mercy and I dressed up home and Conchita picked us up to go there. Maribel looked simply beautiful as an American Indian and Marina was exotic in an Arabian costume. When Nacho came my heart did 3 flip-flops. He was just wonderful. I danced every boogie number with him but not a single slow drag. I guess it was because I was in flats and I’m too short. (I hope that’s it) When he talks to me and looks at me with those blue eyes....He danced sd with Marina and boy I went through Purgatory again. The Falcons came and were as pesky as usual. Victor, Danny were nice. Cosme was being catty again and Carlos Garcia is the handsomest boy I know. Wow, those eyes, that dimple and that voice...he had a captain’s hat on!
Feb 11 - Saturday
I went to the ANC this morning. Nacho came too. He said he stayed at Marina’s house till 1 AM. I couldn’t care less if he stayed all night (hah, who am I kidding) Lita and Conchita came later and Nacho went sailing. We couldn’t go because the boat wasn’t available. Nacho went with a friend. Marina came later and was she surprised to find Nacho’s trunks in Lita’s bag. Ate lunch at D’Marks with Daddy. Lita picked me up to go to the Beeps party. It was ok but Nacho didn’t go. I didn’t dance except 2 times. Juaco was a little high and Carlos Garcia is just the living end. And of course he and everybody else for that matter wouldn’t notice me but that’s the story of my life. Maripaz Godinez gave me an invitation to her party next Saturday and Jun Ripoll danced with Margie (She flipped!)
Feb 12 - Sunday
I went to the Luisita’s meeting this am with Mercy then went to Mass at 9 am at San Pancracio. Mercy went home. Went to the ANC for a little while, later went to Karen’s new home for lunch. Wonderful house and with a swimming pool. This afternoon Dad brought me to the Assumption Fair because Lita could only pick me up way to early. Everybody was there. When we saw Mari Valles Mercy flew in the opposite direction and I was astounded. Mari looked so handsome today and I’ll still say he has a wonderful smile. Mercy and he should make a comeback (or maybe not). Kenneth was also there. Nacho didn’t go but when I called for Nena this evening he answered and said he won the sailing race against the “110's” and the Dragons. Hurrah for him. PS. I remember Carlos Garcia wore a black shirt with two red stripes and he looked out of this world.

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!!

Jan.30 - Feb.2, 1961
Jan. 30 - Monday
I’m to have a part in the HS play but don’t know what. Marina is making plans for her party on Feb. 10. Mercy has broken with Mari. After one year of happiness. Today, a year ago, she fell for him in Angel’s house. Poor Mercy is all shook up and she’s just miserable. Oh well, that’s life. Margie, Mercy tells me, asked her to break. (Margie again?!). Poor Mercy, I have a small idea of how she feels (April 20, 1960!)
Jan. 31 - Tuesday
Don’t know why but Nacho has been on my mind a lot. I wonder what he’s reaction is going to be when he finds out that Mercy broke with Mari. I feel excited every time I think of Nacho on Marina’s coming party (???) And sometimes I feel I like him more than I think I do. Nothing special happened today. Margotin still hasn’t told me anything about the coming Beep-Beeps party although Mercy and Margie already have their invitations. I still don’t think I’m invited although I hope I am. Margotin has given me pictures of my one and only Fabian in exchange of pictures of Kookie Byrnes, Troy Donahue and Roger Smith.
February 1 - Wednesday
Kenneth called Mercy again for the 2nd time. This guy has fallen for the Muniosguren charm of course Mercy is now a little mixed up. She doesn’t even know who she hates or likes any more. We went to practice this evening for “Pichi” etc. There’s this boy named Pedrito whom I think is very nice. Mercy and Lita came too. Today I dislike myself again. I realize I’m one of the most unattractive girls in the city and I don’t blame anyone but myself for not liking me (ugh, ugh, ugh) There won’t be a High School play anymore. Ay naku, que vida!
Feb 2 - Thursday
I finally got to ring the bell for school since the seniors leave tomorrow for Baguio. Angela, Elnora, Eloisa, Annabelle, Rosana, etc. are the most! Tomorrow I’ll have to get up early to ring that bell on time. Today was a nice day. I asked Annabelle to get an identification bracelet for me. This evening I went to Mercy’s house to interview Honey. He looked so handsome and he was so nice this evening. One of the most! Kenneth called Mercy again and he’s invited her to the movies and to the Assumption Valentines Fair. He, Nacho and everybody seems to be going to the ANC on Saturday. Its going to be a pretty interesting day.
