| May 11, 1981 Hello Dolly, Hi! How are you? Hope you�re feeling fine. We received you letters dated April 12, 15, 19 and 22, one after the other. Have you received the Mother�s Day card that we sent you? I hope so. Pasensiya ka na. You might have received it late. We were not able to mail it earlier. Lina and I just watched the movie, �Oh My Mama.� This was a special presentation for Mother�s Day. Maricel Soriano and William Martinez were the lead roles. You mentioned in your letter that Jerry Lewis is very famous there. He has a movie that is being shown here right now titled, �Hardly Working.� I�m glad to hear that you also have time to watch movies there. And I�m really happy that you have such nice friends. I hope that they won�t change towards you. It�s also good that you received the letters that we sent at your old address. We went to Paulino Salanguit�s place. When we first went, he wasn�t home. So Auntie Charito and I went to visit Auntie Deda at work (Census) instead. Last Saturday, we went to Paulino�s house again, but he wasn�t home, again. We left your parcel to his roommate. Paulino phoned later, and said that he wasn�t sure if he would be able to bring the scissors. He�s taking a chance, though, and will try to bring it with him. The chocolates that you sent us haven�t melted. We already ate all of them. We also finished one pack of the orange juice. Ate Diana is sending her regards. She hasn�t left for Japan yet. She�ll probably leave around June or July. You know what, she signed up for the Binibining Pilipinas. She bought a pair of bathing suit and leg make-up (to cover her leg scar). But she wasn�t chosen to be a contestant. Sayang nga eh. Anyway, she will be going to Japan, naman. Last Saturday, before we went to Paulino�s, Auntie Charito and I, together with Melissa, went to CEU to have Mel�s teeth fixed. She needed a new �jacket.� Tita Nene talked to a Dentistry student, so it was free of charge. Auntie Charito also asked the student to look at my teeth, which needed fillings. She put only a temporary filling. We went back on Thursday to put a permanent filling. I think Mel will have a tooth pulled out, so does Margo. Always take care of yourself to avoid colds and cough. Please quit your part-time job so that you won�t get sick. Don�t worry about us too much. We know that you are there for our own good. But you know what, Ma, we�re used to a simple way of life. I know that we will finish college somehow. So please don�t work too hard. Sige ka, if you get sick, you�ll have more expenses. Sige ha. Take care always. Yours, Irene |
