i had an uncle who lived in the province south of manila who would send me a telegram every time he was coming to manila as he had to stay with us. he was the only relative who had the courtesy to do that. the problem was that he would arrive ahead of his telegram so in the end, he would just come without notice, which i didn't mind because he was always welcome anyway, plus it really cost a lot of money then even though he would send only a three- or four-word message "warning coming to stay".
i wish telegrams looked like this and not the "doomsday" looking kind (like "titanic sinking!")
