My Schoolbag as a Time Capsule

It's amazing how my Mom kept a lot of my things. Well, I did live the longest with her and Dad. Plus, I lived there all my life until I got married. Some of the things I found are things that have been long gone.

I was really surprised to see my old schoolbag! If I remember correctly it was a gift for my 13th birthday. It was the trend back then and I had been eyeing it. I used it for awhile, but it was honestly heavy to lug around in school. 

Well, Mom kept it and it's still in very good condition. The content was like a time capsule of what I was busy with back then. I found a Philippine map, my sophomore year statistics notebook, a Milo Club newsletter, statistics notes of a friend, and news clipping either my Mom or Dad collected. I'm trying to remember why I had kept my statistics notes, haha. 

Miggy also sorted a box of his toys. He's so happy he found his collection of Zoids. It's probably a huge blast from the past for him! 

Our living room is still full of boxes again. It's tiring, but we hope to finish the clean up soon.

Sunday Busy Day

My mind is currently in busy mode. We have to work on sorting the boxes faster. Sweetie takes care of getting them. I take care of sorting. 

Keep. Donate. Throw. We keep three boxes nearby as I work on sorting. We switched gears and started working on my Mom's room. Most of the boxes were sewing materials, some bags and shoes. I was surprised there was not many clothes. It might be in another room.

After doing some ironing, I continued sorting. Mom really had a lot of knick knacks and it takes a lot of time to sort it. I was able to put together a box of shoes and belts for donation. I hope it would still be useful.

I think I'll be doing the same thing for a few more weeks, but hope to finish soon.

Happy Sunday everyone!
