I know you are out there waiting for me. Please be assured I'm doing everything to find you. I'm just having trouble finding you. I know you are pretty... ..but there's too many pretty girls out there. I know you are kind hearted... ...but there's too many girls out there pretending to be kind hearted. I know you are sincere... ... but sincerity needs time to be detected. I'm a little desperate now. Please help me find you. Give me some clue and signs to look for.
In exchange, I am giving you some clue to spot me. I'm not that handsome looking but my eyes shines like a star. I don't have the sweetest smile but I got the sincerest smile. I don't talk much but I listen a lot. I don't say how good I am in words but in action and results. Most of all, if you spend time and to talk with me even for a minute, you will feel comfortable and at ease. You will immediatelly learn that we share a lot of things in common... but I won't ask for your celfone number or where you live in our first conversation. But I will ask you for a loan of One Thousand Pesos because I'm broke and jobless.
YOUR VALENTINO

Valentina answered....
DEAR VALENTINO,
Thanks God you finally sent me that letter. I almost thought you don't exist for me. I read your letter with all enthusiasm and happiness than recieving roses, chocolates or having dates with guys who will just break my heart later. I'd rather wait for you.
Are you really broke and jobless? I'm really sad to know that. If that's the case, I will lend you a Hundred Thousand Pesos for a start. Just please don't stop looking for me. Money doesn't matter to me than finding true love. I'm desperate too. Thanks for the clue.
As you requested, here's some clue for you to find me. I don't look pretty at one glance, but I get prettier each day the more you look at me. I am not too friendly to strangers, but I respect and politely treat them until I know they are for real. I don't wear fancy dress, but I cloth and carry myself in a fashionable way. Most of all if you spend time with me for a chat, you will immediately sensed that I just smile and nod most of the time observing your demeanor and motive... and I don't give my number and address immediately. If some strangers asked me for a loan of One Thousand Pesos, I will slap him in the face and call the police.
Waiting for you,
YOUR VALENTINA

.....Ten months later, there was a high school reunion in a place called Diatagon. Two old classmates meet again 20 years since graduation. They were still both single. The guy was an OFW who just finished his 5 year contract abroad. The girl worked in a Loan and Financing business.
Just After midnyt during the Alumni party at the barangay gym, they were still enjoying talking and drinking.
Guy: Classmate, can you loan me One thousand Pesos? All I got in my wallet are hundred dollar bills.
Girl: Sure no problem!
As the girl was about to hand the money to the guy, she saw one fat mosquito in the guy's cheek which she instinctive slap. 'Pak'!
The mosquito's blood splatered in the guy's cheek. So the girl ask one of her classmate for a tissue paper. Her classmate happenec to be a police woman.
And then they both remembered the Valentine letter...THE CLUES!
Guy: Can you help find someone to lend me money within the week? Most of my dollars is on time deposit and I need some extra cash immediately.
Girl: Sure! I work in financing company and I can easily recommend you a loan of 100,000.00 for a start. All you need to do is show us your dollar deposit. So, when do you plan to go back abroad?
Guy: I just finished my contract. So, technically I'm jobless.
......and they both live happily ever after.
