Here are my notes (based on yesterday evening’s long-distance phone conversation) via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
12/06/2011 09:23am. Pee-Wee told his father, William, not to send monthly allotment to the house of his girlfriend but to Yesha, his mother. The girl’s family lives with him and the father didn’t like to “support” everyone under one roof because the “wife” is taking advantage of the money. He now lives with his mother in Manila, Philiippines.
12/06/2011 09:21am. Auntie Aida loves her son Valeriano. He used to come her hair and say nice things to her. But now he got a wife and son and supports them with a job delivering medication to different islands of the Philippines. I could hear Maw stifle back tears as I took notes. I sensed her own boy has the uncompassionate/thick blood of his father/relatives who came from Batangas, Philippines.
12/06/2011 09:14am. Yesha has a long time friend who is Chinese. She taught her friend how to speak English. As a token/gesture of kindness, the Chinese invited Yesha to stay over in China. The Chinese told Yesha to pretend that her boxes belong to her and to lift her boxes to the place. It so happens that the Chinese introduced Yesha to a guy, who wanted Yesha’s passport. And when Yesha refused, they tried to get a copy. She cussed at them and wanted to go back home in the Philippines but the long-time friend convinced her to stay awhile and apologized. Their business is Amway. She gets commission that way.
