Minsan, May Isang Pag-ibig
Mula sa Isang "Mambabasa"

Dear Eve, Ha ha ha! you should have heard or seen me and Angeling giggling when Angeling was reading to me the stories. I let her read to me cause, as you know I'm so lazy reading now. Once I'm off, and took off my eye glasses, I don't want to put it back on. Anyway, just as if Angeling and I were at the dorm past our bedtime, that Ate Ne, Zeny or Kambal will come to room 4 to tell us go to bed and keep quiet, ha ha ha,, Angeling & I on the phone, she in New York, me in Ohio...laughing as loud as we can, she, reading and me listening... can you believe that, on the phone past midnight. I think it's almost morning when we hang up...about 2 or 3 in the morning !!!

With regards to whom to give the extra copy, I prefer you give it to Nena.. I hope she remembers me.. isn't she the one ... whose boy friend's name was Freddie? hmmmm .. not sure but, I know her, I remember her well, when I was new in the dorm, she was my next bed neighbor.

Another 2 persons I would love to have the book next time that Diane will send extra copies to you, (Philippines) are: ha ha ha I know you will be surprised that I remember these two: Our boys "Romy & Emo”... are they still around??

Do you remember, when you, Femme or Chita, asked Romy, why he calls everyone of you, by your first names, but me! ... come to think about it, yes... Romy calls all of you by your first name... but he calls me, "Miss Cayabyab". I myself wonder too...He probably thinks that I'm an old lady then huh? lol... remember that, Eve? ha ha ha... funny isn't it ??

Well anyway...next time Diane sends you extra copies... those are the other persons I want to have copies of your book... it will be my compliments and sign of gratitude for the good service they've done to me, when we were young! I will make arrangement with Diane to just send me the bill, ok?

Take care and please give my regards and love to all of our friends, specially our group, my prayers that all of you will have good health... please tell Chita I love her... Puring

(Thank you so very much for your generosity. I will try to get in touch with these people you have in mind and as soon as I make connection, I will tell you and Diane so that when somebody comes home for a visit, maipadala niya ang iba pang mga libro. Yes, I will call Nena and give her the book and tell her it came from you. And of course, Chita's copy, too.

I can imagine Angeling and you, giggling into the night and the wee wee hours of the morning, reminiscing the good old days. Dormitory days. And I know that whatever we did then at St. Catherines also happened in other dormitories and kasera and even apartments in Legarda, Gastambide, P. Campa, Doroteo Jose and all other old houses turned students' abode while studying in schools along the university belt. Ang saya talaga noon!

Romy is the tall and lanky, fair-skinned boy/helper in our dorm. Emo is also Imo or Gerry, the boy who finished high school and went on to college, someone told us. Sa sinumang dormitoryanang kasama namin noon, na nakaaalam kung saan makokontak ang dalawang ito, please email me. eve.manunulat@gmail.com

Muli, salamat, Puring!)
