hey, its me again! its been a month since i last wrote to you. in my last letter i told you that i'll be joining AEC, well, I am not. i deferred. i dont have anything against the AEC people but i just felt like (actually i know it) it's not for me. so i guess acad org is not really for me in college huh?
but don't think I'm (you're) incompetent, cause hell you are not! i dont wanna sound proud, so to make things safe, i am and i will be proud of you :) you are born to be a leader arla, i hope you realize that by now :)
you've been in Japan for two years, so what's up with you? let's see, have you been to this daycare where the teacher is some single old woman? it's ok, i didn't like her too :)) i can't remember exactly if she was mean but i just didn't like her :P don't worry, you're mom is not gonna send you there sooner :))
you're going to grade school soon, don't worry, you're gonna have a lot of friends but they're gonna make it hard for you at first. you know racism? you may not know that term yet but that's what they're gonna do to you. make you feel like you're an outsider, tell you that your eyes are bigger than theirs and that your skin is dark, and your nails are long. that is why i need you to be strong. show them the power of a filipina :) do not ever cry because of them, because when they see that you are not at all affected, they'll get over you. i mean get over bullying you :) when you feel like you are put down so much, just be strong and know that someone in the world, felt the same feeling that you do...I did :)
when all you guys are learning to ride the ichidensia (monocycle), you will be the first to do it without holding on to the rod, trust me :) and when you get back to the philippines, you will first be known for that ability :) that's actually one way that you will win friends in the 2nd grade here in the philippines, but that's another story. the last time i rode that is i think 13 or 14. its been 3 years!!! i haven't been practicing anymore. i just wish my dad will bring me home an ichidensia that is right for my age, height and weight cause the one at home is for 10 years old.
oh yeah, kindergarten, i skipped that part :)) are you bossy right there? not really bossy, but everyone trust and believes you? you have that charisma sweetheart. you have the voice that when you speak, everybody listens :) i dont know if you notice but your teacher kindda likes you :)) ofcourse your teacher is a she ^^ i remember the whole class going on her wedding and singing some special number for your teacher :) when you go on a field trip you usually walk right? that is one of the positive traits you'll gonna bring in the philippines :) you are a total walker ^^
so, hanggang dito na muna. I love you, and always pray :)
love,
arla
