What Thess did was to write me four letters corresponding to every day that I will be away from her and that I should read each letter on the exact day that it should be read. Monday letter must be read during Monday and Tuesday letter must not be read in advanced. Surely, that was one of the most nerve-racking methods to test my patience. And I must agree, one of the sweetest also.
I will give you a rundown of these letters, sort of an overview, extracted from its original document and I must warn you that it might increase your sugar level, so be careful…
Day 1 letter – Monday
Dear Bhabes,
Surprise! I hope this letter would help you not to miss me so much.
Don’t worry I will try my best to make this letter interesting… I wouldn’t exactly call this a letter… it is more of a love note.
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
See… I told you this is a love note.
I want you to know that even though I will be very busy while you’re gone, a minute will not pass that I will not think of you.
God saw hunger – He made food
God saw pain – He comfort
God saw sorrow – He made joy
God saw me lonely – He made you
Day 2 letter – Tuesday
Dear Bhabes,
How was your day? I hope everything is still according to your original schedule so I won’t have to wait anymore. I MISS YOU SO MUCH Bhabes.
Anyway, wish me good luck on my workshop tomorrow. I have to spend the day listening to the speaker in front but thinking of you. See what you did to me… you are trying my multi-tasking capability to the limit.
… And I don’t regret the rain
Of the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you…
To get me to you.
Day 3 letter – Wednesday
Dear Bhabes,
By the time you are reading this, my co-workers are trying to contact you. They can’t stand me anymore. I am going nuts missing you. I terribly need to hear your voice or hold your hand.
I could fill this page with I LOVE YOU…
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU……….
I think I’m already starting. Anyway, I LOVE YOU…
Day 4 letter – Thursday
Dear Bhabes,
Good morning! I’m keeping my fingers crossed and asking my angel to help you with your project so you won’t have to stay there for another day. I LOVE YOU.
Don’t forget to call me the minute you reach Manila.
My heart whispers “I love you, dear”
The shy lips move no words appear
When my love is true, sincere and real
What lips hide the eyes reveal.
Tell me now, how can I not fall in love with this woman?


Manila Time
