My dearest Popol,

I go back to Manila today, while you stay back in Iligan a little longer. I'll miss you. It feels weird not being within driving distance of each other.

Just today I thought of something: I will enclose a one-hundred-peso bill with each letter I write to you. That way I get to save at the same time. That's one of the many things I learned from you, and I'm thankful for it. I've felt the difference acutely: because of you I look at spending money differently. I have felt the need to be careful with it.

I'll need to take back the 100 bills when you open my letters, though (hehehe).

I love you, Popol, and always I remain,

Yours.
