My Turf

Dear Ms. Ingles:

I have some good news and bad news for you. The bad news is, I didn’t get to use
your memoir on what it was like for a UP Maroons fan in your time for my
article. I’m really sorry about that. (Di nga. Hinanapan ko talaga ng paraan
para isama sa article ko.)

The good news is, your memoir was so good, we decided to turn it into a
stand-alone article in the June-July issue of the UP Forum, which is now online
. It was edited a bit (I hope you don’t mind),
but besides a few tweaks, it’s published in its entirety. I also hope you don’t
mind the title, "Confessions of a Die-Hard UP Maroons Fan". Um, it was my idea.
(Di nga, talaga. Ang ganda ng sinulat mo, eh.)

So I was wondering if I could get your mailing address so I could send you your
issue of the UP Forum by snail-mail…?

Again, thank you very, very much for your help. And congrats!

Respectfully,

Staff Member, UP-OAR

My
good friend and Econ blockmate, Myda, forwarded to our barkada egroup a
request from a staff member of the UP alumni office for story bits
about the UAAP. Hence, I excitedly wrote a ‘memoir’ about my days as a
Maroon fanatic, uploaded it in my blogs and sent it to the staff
member.

She emailed back and said she liked what I wrote and that she’ll definitely use it in her article.

I NEVER EXPECTED THAT SHE’D USE IT AS A STAND-ALONE ARTICLE! IN THE UP FORUM! AAAAAHHHH!

Yun lang. Gusto ko lang i-share. Hehehe. Happiness!
