Feb 17 - Friday


This afternoon I skipped classes and slept and then I went to school at 4:40 pm because I was going to be an usherette for the Music Concert. I spent the whole time with Annabelle Morelos who is very energetic. Sister Celina, Sr. Chantal and Sr. Innocencia kept hounding us. Once when Mari Ojeda was talking with us, Sr. Innocencia came and stood between us so we couldn’t talk any more. The 3 of us started to giggle and laugh. Mari said he had a ticket for me for “Jam Session” but I didn’t get it. Both Annabelle and ????? wanted to take me home but Margot P finally did.



Feb 18 - Saturday

This am I went to the ANC. Nacho, Conchita, Lita and Marina were there. The 5 of us went swimming. This evening I went to the Black Kats’ Party. Maripaz Godinez is one of the most simpatica girls I know. The party was nice. I danced mostly with Agustin Aboitiz and some other guys. I caught Cosme looking at me about 4 or 5 times. Agustin asked me if I liked him more that a friend and I said “no comment.” (I said “no comment” to Agustin? Was I drunk! How about “over my dead body?) (Four dozen years later, I got the chance to speak to Agustin when he was facing the inevitable - and he was so sweet and upbeat. He made me laugh and kept teasing me and remembering the times he used to drive me crazy - all this days before he passed away. Oh, how little we appreciated our then “quirky” friends and how amazingly the human spirit rises above all adversity.) Jun Ripoll asked someone who I was and what my name was. I wish Nacho had gone but I was happy Cosme was there.....!!! Honey was on Bing Tuason’s radio show tonight.



Feb 19 - Sunday

What a, well, monotonous day. Went to Mass at 11 am then to the ANC. The usual people were there. Ate lunch at Conchita’s house this noon. Went to the Gaiety to see “The Wizard of Bagdad.” Then we went to the ANC (Conchita, Lita, Maribel, Marina and I) Nacho went to Marina’s house looking for her with some other guys. My throat and chest were sore this pm but I took Cepacol and I fell much better. I hate school! I feel awful this days. Oh, I don’t know what’s wrong. I guess its just me.
