A stroll down memory lane...

I am the sentimental kind. I try to keep things that hold memories like how I tried to keep my intramural shirts from Grade 5 to high school. But while i was in Manila for college, my mom gave a few away! My grade 6, 3rd and 4th year shirts are what's left of them. She has always scolded me for keeping too much unnecessary things. 


While it is true that they are unnecessary, they too are significant. 


Yesterday, I was cleaning my stuff. Transferring them to another container- to accommodate more! haha As I sorted through them, it was a stroll down memory lane... 


Here are the stuff i found:

 Bunny Ears headband: China Trip with my high school friends last Feb 2011. Bunny ears since it was Year of the Rabbit.

My first Halloween everrrrr

Halloween has been an annual event for my high school friends. We keep it private- as do other events we have. This year's the third. I was never part of the first two since i was still in Manila on 2009, and for some unknown reason, I was also in Manila last 2010. 


My first halloween experience was a blast! haha I TRIED to be Lady Gaga, but unfortunately, I didn't find any blonde wig! Next year, I shall try to do Lady Gaga justice. hahaha 


Here's a complete picture of the characters.

From Left: Franz as Diego, Wynne as Uncle Sam, Sherry as Dora, Taltal as Officer Yu, Rayleen as Mulan, Carlo as Pringles, Hannah as Amy Winehouse, Me as Lady Gaga (SUPER FAIL!!!) and Precious as Edward(a) Scissorhands

If you can turn back time, will you?

It takes a simple post on Facebook to disturb you- "If you can turn back time, will you?"


The first thing i thought of: In my 24 years of existence, as i recall the events in my life, I only have one regret, one which took place on 03/10/10. If I can turn back time, I'd go back to that day and take that chance away. I could have saved myself from all the torment. No matter how i plead for it, good memories may no longer be redeemed for they have been buried by cruelty.


But looking at the big picture, without that episode, i would have been the same person- closed and boring. It has taught me a lot indeed. It has changed me, for the better i believe. 


As i ponder on life, experience is good. Cliche as it may sound, it is the best teacher. And from my point of view, one should experience hell to identify what heaven is. Further, change is good; we learn to adapt for if we don't, we'd end up perished, but more importantly, we get to have a different experience, one that teaches us what to do and what not to do, a.k.a LEARN.


Thus, on second thought, if i could turn back time, i wouldn't change anything.
