Nostalgic Tuesday: Sony Ericsson K750i existed

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Nostalgic Tuesday: Sony Ericsson K750i existed

Once a upon a time, from the not so distant past. There\’s a hand phone called Sony Ericsson K750i. Amid all the fuss with Nokia hand-phones me and my sister preferred this little baby here. It\’s different from everybody else. To make it more special, it\’s a gift from Dad. 🙂

Nostalgic Tuesday: Of photography and Auntie Simple

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Nostalgic Tuesday: Of photography and Auntie Simple

From my sister\’s FB wall post:Our fat cat, Chiyo was scratching on the cabinet doors where old photo albums are kept. I decided to check one album and saw these photos of the 2 year old me with Auntie Simple. It\’s only now that I realized that what my relatives were saying about me is true: payatot daw ako noon. So bakit ngayon hindi na? LOL.
And I commented:Alam ko ito. Ito yung picture na ako ang kumuha. Oi wag ka eto
ata yung SLR na gift ni dad kay mom. Infernez, alam ako na ang 
rule of thirds…hahaha tapos naalala ko pa kinagabihan pagbalik 
ni mom sa trabaho…Sino gumamit ng kamera?! Si ninang sabay turo 
sa akin hahahahaha laglagan kung laglagan hahahahha tapos sabi ni 
mom grabe ang daming nasayang anim na kuha…
* This is the time back then that developing a film is not cost-effective
And now it looks like its only Ninang\’s memories are that\’s left 
to us…


I\’m sorry if I couldn\’t be there to see you for the last time. You\’ve always been so proud of us. KC is right, you are our stage mother. You never fail to encourage us when we\’re down, make us laugh with your crazy antics and just be yourself. Life must go on as they say but all the happy memories that you left us will remain. 

I know you\’re in a better place now. We\’ll miss you alot T_T


Nostalgic Tuesday: An Ode to the Typewriter?

(…maybe I should make one)

During my elementary years, we have this good old typewriter. Mom bought when, she was working and studying her way through college. Back then, buying a desktop PC or laptop is too expensive. So it\’s either we really have to write legibly, accurately do lettering/calligraphy and push keys of the typewriter.

Those were the days when, we type and print our reports at the same time. The endless use of Touch and Go and this paper correction strip (that I forgot the brand name) are one of the must have paraphernalia when typing. The way the ribbon makes my hand all messy when you have to rewind it for re-use. These are the days before the flash disk, recycle bin, my documents, Microsoft office. 

Last time I checked, our good old TW is somewhere in our bodega. I feel sad, I think it deserves a shrine. LOL.

Remembering the tic-tac-tacky-ty sounds are like a melodious music in nostalgia…I maybe using my very first laptop now but, I can still remember the moments with the TW. Mind you, it is still useful in completing a death certificate in some third world tertiary hospital.

Can\’t get over my Music Monday post…

I\’ll make a full post after my night duty hahaha…
I was in Grade 6,  I made a compilation book of  them. I\’ve written a redundant statement that made me a laughing stock among my younger siblings. It may be an EPIC fail but, I do this for the BSB love.
