| December 18, 1981 Dear Dolly, Hi! Kumusta ka na? I hope that you�re always okay there. Christmas is almost here, isn�t it? We will have a Christmas party at school tomorrow. Then it�s Christmas vacation. We had our YMC Christmas Party today. We will start caroling tomorrow. It is such fun to go caroling. We get to go to different places and I enjoy the company of the YMC members. Our Field Day was done. We didn�t have a Passing Review (PASAMID) because we run out of funds. I won�t be able to send you a picture of me in my fatigue uniform. But Lina had pictures during their presentation. My classmates and I went to Diliman on December 12. We took the Entrance Examination at U.P. I didn�t realize how far that place is. I probably won�t go to school there. I just tried to take a test. One more thing, I didn�t get a scholarship there. I also took application forms from PLM and NSDB. The entrance examinations won�t be until February. I�d rather take applications from different schools so that I have lots of options. Until now, I am not sure what school I want to go to. But I am sure what course I want to take, Commerce. Probably, before the next school year, I would have picked a school already. I am planning to take a vocational course this summer vacation. I had been planning to take typing since last year. I hope it�s okay with you. I�m glad that Baby is back there with you. At least you won�t feel lonely anymore. And don�t worry about us too much. I don�t want you to get sick again. I�m really sorry that we are unable to write you that often. It�s just that we have many activities at school. And there are times, that although we already have a letter for you, we don�t have time to go to the post office because of our tight schedule at school. We only have a few vacant periods. So don�t worry about us anymore. About the money that you are sending us, we always receive them. Sometimes we just forget to mention it to you. The exchange rate now is a little over P8.00. I had to send the pants that you sent me to a sastre for a general repair. They were too big for me. O sige ma, take care. We love you. Love, Irene |
