Priceless


Great morning, lovely people!


Our dear mister Sun showed his face and gave us a wonderful smile this morning. I hear there's another storm coming, but hey.. it's the monsoon season. Just remember that when the storm hits land, take some extra precautions, stay indoors and keep safe. Typical rainy season in the Philippines.

Besides, we can only see and appreciate a rainbow after a storm, right? ......... Yeah, I can be such a sickeningly happy and optimistic woman. So sue me. LOL.. ♥

Anyway, I was going through my things the other day and I found this little old box with some old pictures in it.


That's my family. My grandma, my dad, my mom, my two brothers and me. I think I was 3 years old.. maybe 4, in that picture. And gosh, I have a huge belly.. lol.


And that's me wearing a red bathing suit. I look ridiculous. Hahaha!

There are lots of old pictures here. Copies of my two older brothers graduating from grade school and high school. Pictures of me blowing a cake on my 12th birthday. Pictures of family get-togethers and reunions. Ah, great times.

Old and dirty pictures, some are faded and most had turned yellow.. but these are worth keeping. The memories are priceless.

    Yeah old pictures, it is. My mom love to collect old pictures of us. I remembered, I had a lot of nude pictures when I was still a kid - yeah I'm a bit of exhibitionist during my childhood years. Hahaha.

    You're very cute in your bikini. Oh, that smile.

  21. Hope everythings good in the Philippines! I've been there before and I really enjoyed my stay :)
    yes photos are very precious, if someone stole my laptop or it exploded i would be sad about the photos instead of the movies and music, they are much more worthy.
    have a good one!

  28. hahah asan ka dun te? hahaha ikaw lang ba yung only girl?

  29. I like the first family picture, it has a lomo feel! Cool. And you are a cute little girl ate! You look like my inaanak.

    Quite inspired to have my version of this post. After all, these pictures will always bring back memories - whether bad or pleasant - and will mark our existence as solid proofs of our humanity. Oh, don't catch humanity in a wrong note, it's just that everything is too digital nowadays. Seeing paper copies of pictures are heartwarming at times.

  30. panalo naitago pa ang mga photos ah. astig!!! gagaya ako magpopost din ako nito lol

    ReplyDelete
  31. You have such a cute family! :). It is not bad to be optimistic, I'm not going to sue you! I'll encourage you to continue thinking positive, this saying is true, for every second you are not happy - you are sad. You should totally do the 30 day photo challenge by the way, it would be interesting to see what you choose.
