Yesterday, while I was looking for some documents to bring to the US, I stumbled upon an old diary of mine, 1980.
I read some of the entries and was surprised how intense pala my relationship with Edmund. We were 2 1/2 years official boyfriend-girlfriend at that time. We were always together and calling up each other (wala pang cellphone nung panahon na yon), wala rin kaming kotse, nanghihiram lang sya. And yet, even without money, cars, gadgets, internet, we were able to show how deep our love for each other was. We both knew that we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives. In fact, there was an entry when he told me he wanted to marry me pero mag-iipon muna sya. The usual thing. He was playing for Crispa Micaa and getting some allowance. Ang date namin P25. On his birthday, August 26, 1980, we splurged on a dinner at Kimpura and he paid P215. Wow big time.
Our favorite food was pizza from MWF pizza.
I read to Edmund some of the entries and he too was surprised and amazed. We were very much into each other.
My old diary would require at least a thousand entries. I will kwento bits and pieces so that the young people would learn a thing or two about relationships.
Ms. Annie pls tell us more stories about your diary. I can’t wait. Love u mam, you always make my day.
Old diary? Wow OMB ! I am excited to read it too. Pls post soon. Have a safe trip to the US.
Looking forward to this!!! 🙂
I think this is my favorite post on your blog because it reminds me so much of myself. I’m about the age you were when you wrote that diary, and I’m keeping my own (and transcribing the entries onto my blog) about my own intense relationship… I wonder if I’ll feel the same emotions as you when I find my diary thirty years from now.
Thank you Jane. Will begin to post some of my diary entries starting in October. I left the notebook at home.
