Dearest Pal.
Hello! How's life going on there. I hope that you are in good health upon
receiving my letter or may be you got suspened "coz" you did not expect
that you can receive a letter from me.
But before the world prolong into a line may I ask first you a gretest
apology if ever I disturb you rest and relaxation expecially that when you
are in concentration of you studying.
And at the same time Pal, I greet you pleasant hello. I hope you can
enjoing your life there. Pal, maybe you ask to yourself there if were
came I know your name. By the pal, I found your name from column of song
hit. And then I decide to make this letter for the reason that I want also
a friend in other places so dont think any malice here my lettter okey!.
But before I go to further may I introduce first my simple personality to
you. Well....... beginning for the love of my parent they got a boy and
have a name. My name is Joseph Marcelo Ejercito a fourth year high
school student in Manila. Joseph for short. I'm 20 years old now.
My heaight is 5'8" tall and 140 lbs. My birthday is coming every 19 of
April 1937. Fair complexion under the zodiac sign of Aries . I'm a pure
Filipino with little Chinesse blood.
My mother is at home while my father is working as a golddigger.. He's
digging golds at the mines. My hobbies is playing ball games reading
komiks books, participating in school activities., and of course acting.
I also like to listen to folk songs of Perry Como, Pat Boone, Everly
Brothers and the Platters. I hate listening to instrumental music because
they are always defective. I cant hear the voice of the songer.
As for my school, I think my school likes me alot. They dont want me
to go after 8 years. They told me others could get post graduate degrees
after college , they said I can do it here in high school. I only need
two more years to complete my Algebra. My families were so happy for
me..my father almost suffered a heart attack eveytime I showed him my
report cards. Doesn't you think I'm good too?.
My teacher also liked me . whenever she needed something done, she will
called me. Like cleaning the board, scrubbing the floor and manning the
garbage can. I'm also responsible in drawing conclusion to our
laboratory experiments. Last time during our chemistrty class, when we
are mixing different chemicals together and she wanted me to taste the
result. I concluded that the solution is little bit deadly because I got
hospitalized. They agreed.
At the hospital, the lady doctor said that some of my brain cells got
burned. I totally disagree with him because I know I didnt set my head
on fire nor eat any lighted match. I only drank an acid solution. She
laughed at me and told me I was funny. I think her name was Dr. Eloisa.
She's cute.
I think I finish also introducing my self to you and may be time is enough
already for you to know who I am . Maybe this will be enough for you to
guess myself, from now on you can describe my self in your imagination.
Anyway Pal, I 'd like you answer me. Maybe you can send also your
personal datas. Please I need you reply!!! I'm sorry for the
handwriting, I have speech impediment eh.
Regards to your family circle and especially to you. Take all necessary
precautions.
