Jan. 1
NEW YEAR MORNING-- I went to her store and gave the GIFT OF
WHITE STOCKING to her. No one wass with her. She told me
that
she spent the New Year in her barrio that is why we did not
see her in Betis.
March 26, Tuesday Night
HER GRADUATION-- How happy am I to see her among the
graduates of the Seventh Grade! How beautiful and elegant
she is to me at that very night! After the program, I
accompanied her on way home. She is with Feliciana and
Rosario. I joked her by looking on her certificate, but to
my disappointment, she refused to show it and even acted so
differently. she does not understand that it wass only my
LAMBING to her at that very glorious night of her's. She
left us and went ahead. How disconsolate I am! "Talagang
ala cung cusuelu atang mumuli."
March 28 Night
SAINT THURSDAY-- I did not see her at all.
March 29
GOOD FRIDAY NIGHT--I saw her Grandma with small children
but Dearest wass not with them perhaps she stayed in the
Barrio.
THE
ENGAGEMENT
1929
March 31, Sunday at 11:00 A.M.
BAPTISM IN HER HOME: My cousin and I are invited to attend
a
party in Cabalantian. On our way, I saw her conversing with
Ising. They all went by cart to the barrio on the baptism
of her niece. Ising is the COMADRE. Rom, Dandoy, Pio and
Vicente Santos went with them. How lonely and restless am I
for I was the only one who is not invited.
April 4, Morning
OUR VISIT IN ER HOME BARRIO- As I have never seen her
during the Holy Week, I tried to visit her in her home
barrio. Pab, Nano and I went hunting in Pangulo. We saw one
of her sisters, Seriang with a basket of cleaned clothes on
her head. We have never seen her home. We ate in a store
only
to have a chance to see her but in vain.
May 9 at 3:18 to 3:36 THE EVENTFUL ECLIPSE
June 18, Morning
HER HIGH SCHOOL COURSE: Upon arriving from the city, I am
too happy to see Dearest with some of Trade School girls
wearing the prescribed uniform (green). Sorrily, I returned
again to the Metropolis without having even a short
conversation with her. Oh what a lonely trip!
September 10
A LETTER AFTER A LONG ABSENCE: She asked me to buy a
magazine for her. And reveals a secret to me telling that
somebody had sent her a love letter and this is Roman.
November 16, Night
CAVISPERASAN- We didn't see each other but attended the
show with her brother-in-law. I wonder she didn't tell me.
November 17, Night
OUR TOWN FIESTA: Sof, she and I attended the Drama. How
enjoyable and happy I was at her side. I could feel the
sweetness of love. I asked her if she received all my
letters and she said she didn't receive any. The magazine
was even given by her uncle, Belto. I offered oranges to
her for the moment, but she didn't get any. This is the
only thing I don't quite appreciate from her. We conversed
about her present schooling. She said that she is still
studying but late I discovered that she quitted since
September. So that is why when I asked her their present
principal, she did not know him. I wonder she didn't let me
know it. But to me, although she stopped studying, it's
just the same for any how she finished her Intermediate
Course already.
December 20, Night
OUR SADDEST MOMENTS: With grief in my heart, I even saw
Momong and Ariston inside the store. When I bought some
bread, she was with Ines but by the wink of an eye I
slipped my note of precautions. I have not seen her at all
attend the night masses.
