Jonalyn may enter a relationship with a foreigner (e.g., American, European, Korean). Romantic storylines explore:
Entry #43 – November 12, 2023 Rainy. The neighbor’s rooster won’t shut up.
Dear Diary,
Kuya Jun asked me again today, “Jonalyn, bakit wala ka pang boyfriend? Malapit ka nang maging spinster.” (Why don’t you have a boyfriend yet? You’re almost a spinster.) I just laughed and handed him another bottle of Red Horse. But later, I cried while folding the labanos for dinner.
It’s not that I don’t want love. It’s that I’ve been sewing love stories for other people my whole life. I altered 14 wedding gowns last year alone. Fourteen! Each one with beadwork and lace that I stayed up for 48 hours to finish. I see the brides cry. I see the grooms fix their barongs. And I think… is that for me?
Entry #58 – December 24, 2023 (Christmas Eve) Noche Buena is ready. But my heart is not.
He came today. Rafael. The bagong lipat (new neighbor) from the apartment above the sari-sari store. He said my parol (lantern) was the prettiest on the block.

Entry #67 – February 14, 2024 (Valentine’s Day) I made him a handkerchief.
Rafael asked me to be his “date” for the barangay’s Valentine’s pageant. Not as a girlfriend—just as a partner for the “Best Dressed Couple” contest. He wore a barong I repaired for free. I wore my mother’s old terno. We won second place.

Then he said, “Jonalyn, you’re too good for this place.”
I didn’t know if that was a compliment or a goodbye.
Entry #89 – March 30, 2024 He kissed me behind the church.
After the Good Friday procession. The candles were still smoking. He smelled like kopiko and motor oil. It was clumsy. It was gentle. It was the first time a man held my face like it was made of communion wafers—holy and breakable.
But Diary, here is the twist I didn’t write before: I have a suitor from Canada.
His name is Greg. A 52-year-old retired plumber. My tita (aunt) in Vancouver introduced us online. He sends me $200 every month. He calls me “princess.” He wants me to fly to BC in September for a “trial visit.” To rank for the long-tail keyword, we need
