IN THE RICEFIELDS: Pab. happened to see Dearest and Seriang catching Camaro. He told her about the letter I asked him to give and she replied, "Yugse mune o caya dulucan me." It surprised me much to hear such words from her. Later, I found out that she feels jealous of me for I sometimes write to Sister Seds. But what does she gets jealous of when I don't even court her. But with this, I could prove how much she cares for me because Mild Jealousy is the only symbol of a true and divine love.

IN MANILA: I have known that she oftentimes go to the cine. Oh how it breaks my heart! Ever snce I have known her, Ihaever en her goig to shos and now she is cultivatng this habit? No! for me, this cannot be. I cannot allow her for this as I dearly love her. If we are both at home, I can permit it but not when we are far from each other like this. So I have written her a letter in order that she can avoid it. (By Pabling)

HER FIRST LETTER FOR THE YEAR: She suspects me for loving Seds when really I have never even thought such thing. I have been writing her but they are nothing at all. She plans to attend the carnival. Oh how happy I am to be with her in the city. But after all, she was unable to come.

HOLY THURSDAY: I met Dearest in the street going to see the procession. But I did not accompany her because her aunt Deliang is with her. In the course of the procession in front of the market I am behind her. How beautiful is her to me with the sweet sampaguitas around her neck.I wonder who gave them to her. I was about to give my letter, but I had no chance.

GOOD FRIDAY NIGHT: During the procession, I am behind her both in front the Palma and in the market. She is with her aunt, mother and sister. I am trying to hand secretly my note but Momong and Loriano are at her back. When she saw me, she uttered, "Tutu na mang malisangan," then they went away. She knew my feelings. When our eyes met again, I winked at her and she knows already. In going home, I held her hand and gave the note. Due to her companions we did not have the time to talk of our affairs. As soon as I have given the note, I left them already. The next morning, Pab found a part of the note in the street.

IN THEIR STORE: I found her alone so I had a little talk with her. I gave a note of advices. She told me that she does not go down at night. She said to me what her mother says about me. She asks her if I am the one courting her and if so, why do I not come in the house. What a fine idea it is. She is not like her aunts. Then I held her hand and bade her goodbye for I have to return again to the city and how lonely I feel.

AFTER THE MASS: Because we have a compromise to meet each other, she awaited me after the mass. She is with Sof. I then give the pictures. I thought I could not see her so I accompanied the procession a little. Then I decided to go home and luckily, I found her awaiting for me.

DEAREST AFFLICTIONS WITH HER AUNT INES: While she was busily cleaning the floor of the big house, the daughters of Ines tried to scatter the rice of the floor which made her angry. She told them to go away but aunt Ines heard her words. Then altercation between them followed thus provoked her to the extreme anger. Then Aunt Arang intervened and wanted her to be beaten. and she responded, "Uli mong queti ya i Tomas napun, misna naco daraptan a maroc. Silung barugan yu cu dapot agiang di apu cu at i Tatang cu era cu babarugan. Dapot enacu man muli queta cari Inang cu nune maquisawa cu.." When they heard such words, they tried to comfort her, by buying somethings for her.

With a broken-heart, I left them simply and at 5:00a.m. I returned to the city with a broken-heart and loneliness.

OUR TOWN FIESTA: This is the only time I did not go home for it was not celebrated well. There was only the procession and Dearest attended it with her aunt Ines. Cheding, Susing and Pab met them at the front of the church. When it was already late at night, her aunt Ines asked her to go with her to hear the soronata but she was already fast asleep. So they did not proceed anymore. (by faithful Pab)
