| June 12, 1981 Hello Dolly, Hi! Kumusta? Hope everything�s okay. We�re all fine here. It is now rainy season here. It has been raining every day. Today is Independence Day, remember? Then June 16 is election day. That is a long holiday. Offices are closed starting today until June 16. We just received the tape that you sent us. We didn�t have the chance to play it yet. But I hope that we�ll hear it soon. We received the $30 and $100. We�ve already exchanged them. The exchange rate is higher than before. Last time, it was only P780, but now it�s P795. You are way ahead in sending us money. Don�t worry about our books. We don�t have to buy that many. I borrow some of Mel�s and the school lets us borrow books free of charge. We also have bought all the supplies that we need. We will go to school on Sunday with Auntie Charito. There is a meeting for the parents. I might see Miss Borromeo. I will ask her if she received your letter yet. Don�t worry about the stuff that you are sending us. We always receive everything in the parcel, even the t-shirts that you mentioned in your letter. I�m glad that you already received the parcel that we sent you. Did you get the scissors and the ice pick? We were waiting for your call on my birthday. I was expecting your call on the night of May 23. Then on May 24, there were no incoming calls at all. We discovered later that night that the phone ringer was off. Uncle Gene turned it off the day before and forgot to turn it back on. We still anticipated your call on May 25. Hinayang na hinayang nga kami eh. I am really sorry. Hayaan mo, next time, we will make sure that the phone ringer is on. You know what, Uncle Gene had really been in a bad mood lately. If he were only a woman, you would think that he�s conceiving a baby. Our slightest move will make him mad, especially if there is a phone call for Mel. That�s why he turned the ringer off. Naiinis nga kami eh. Especially when Jenny and Martin were here. He dotes on them all the time. That�s why his kids are jealous of the two. On his days off from the office, we are like prisoners here. De numero ang kilos namin. Anyway, let�s change the topic. Ma, don�t worry too much about the money that you are sending us. You send us more than enough. You mentioned that you are looking for a part time job again. Please take it easy. Sige ha. Goodnight. Sweet dreams. Take care. Lots of love, Irene |
