Letters…
I’ve made some letters for my penpals from Germany and the U.S. Since it doesn’t take much effort to blog it, here’s the draft of the letters. I finally found a post office in Manila, so I’ll be sending ‘em soon! =D

To my penpal in Germany:
Hey Aqsa!
Sorry for the late reply. I’m in university already, and it takes some time to prepare for it. I’m in another city away from my family and friends. The flight to my hometwon is only an hour away, but it’s amazing how much a difference an hour can make. It takes only one hour to see my friends, family, and many things familiar to me. Now I am in different place having to meet new friends, learn a different language, and learn how to live independently. The experience is indescribable.
How are you already? =D I’m very sorry for not replying earlier, I hope it is okay. =[ You've been doing what lately? Do you have any new interests? How is school and the renovation because of those cancer causing materials? =P I'm very glad that you liked the guitar I sent you. For some reason, I did not receive the chocolate you gave sent. I do not care though, because I'm already happy you sending a letter. =)
I entered a cultural exchange program in Japan under a full scholarship! It was amazing, you will really love the culture, the food, and the people. Everyone there is very polite and cooperative. =) You will also meet people from different countries and cultures. I have a lot of friends from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Australia, and New Zealand. =D
My birthday is April 9, but we had a party on April 8. It was amazing! There were more than a hundred people at the venue, and we played with waterballoons and everything else. =P For a moment, all of us were like children. And we definitely enjoyed. =)
Because I was leaving for University, my friends made a "despidida." It's a farewell party for the person leaving. It was really nice because a person made a song for me; my close friends signed a shirt for me as well. =) I like this girl, and it was really nice that she attended (hopefully it's not just another teenage crush that we all have).
So you play what kinds of sports? What do you find interesting about Germany? Do you have any news about life? I'd really love to read what you'll say. =D
Ciao!
Keith

To my penpal in the states:
Hey Heather!
Sorry for the late reply. And wow, everything's moving so fast! It was only last year when we met, and now I'm in college. Who knew that a 3 day encounter in an Alaskan cruise ship would lead this? XD How's your ballroom dancing going? Did you manage to find a new partner? =)
Everything's been great so far. I left my city three weeks ago, and now I'm in Manila! Manila's the capital of the Philippines. Ever since my arrival, I've been homesick though. People seem friendlier in Cebu. And I have a lot more friends there. =[
My birthday is April 9, but we celebrated it at April 8. =P It was awesome! The place was filled with a hundred or more people, and some of these people I haven't seen since childhood. We had a water balloon fight, and played some kiddy games (for some reason we managed to make teenagers have fun playing them! XD ). The last party I made was like 2nd grade. =P
A week later, a few friends made me a "despidida." It's a party made for someone who's leaving -- in other words, a farewell party! =D It wasn't as big as my birthday party, but that was the way I wanted it. I only wanted my close friends to be there. They made a signature shirt for me! =') I called up the girl I like, but she said, "I'll be out of town." We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant, and ordered some sashimi. =D A friend of mine said that she'll be out to get something for a while. When she returned... It was the girl I like!
After having some crunchy and savoury Japanese food, we left for the arcade. If you didn't know, you're reading the letter of the worst Dance Revo player in history. Guess what we played? Dance Revolution! =P It was with the girl I like, so it was really fun. We then walked to Starbucks and had some drinks before our despidida came to a close.
A few days before my departure, the girl I like went to my friends to write messages for me. She even wrote me a really nice letter. =]
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Japan trip! I’ll save it for the next letter.
Now it’s your turn to share your experiences. How was your Mexico cruise? Your dancing? Life? Etcetera! =D
Au revoir,
Keith
