Hi Ma,
I’m making two hard copies of this which on the morning
of May 10, I’ll stick on the ref door, and next to the kitchen
sink, beside your favorite mug.
I’m not sure you’ll read this on your e-mail which I set up for you
on your birthday five months ago, because you haven’t replied to
the two e-mails I sent you since then. This is my 3rd email to you.
I’m pretty certain also you won’t see this letter in my blog where
I’m publishing it. My classmates are doing ‘Dear Mom’ letters for
their blogs too. It’s our summer multimedia arts class project and
I want my group where I was elected historian to win. But I’m
digressing.
In her last e-mail to me, Ate said you don’t buy anything for
yourself anymore, even if you spend Friday evenings and the
whole afternoon of Saturdays at the crowded shopping malls and
tiangges looking for bargains and discounts. Your ‘buys’ are
always for Ate, me and the pantry.
Anytime on Monday, a package for you will be delivered by red-
shirted men. Of course having read this letter, by the time their
red truck arrives, you’d already be expecting them.
Don’t worry, I’ve enough money left for our three-week stay in
Shenzen to shoot the docu on online shopping among the
Chinese that I told you about.
I’ve been saving up in the last 5 months for something for you.
I’ve been regularly comparing prices and “window-shopping” on
the Internet.
Good thing, the online stores I tail on the Internet are offering
discounts in celebration of Mother’s Day. Didn’t have the time to
go to the malls.
I’ll see you in three weeks. Meantime, hope you like the
ohmygosh items.
Thank you for being Mother to Ate and me.
See ya!
Ningning
