Throwback Thursday: Back When I was a Baby

My birthday is coming up and I thought I'd look at my baby pics. Last time I did was when we scanned it when Sweetie and I got married. Some of the photos show some of the things I already liked even as a child. 

The Beach

They used to call me "kutong tubig" (water flea). My parents always had a hard time getting me out of the water. I only learned my lesson when I got severely sun burnt once haha. I was deliriously happy when I was able to spend time at the beach in Panglao last July. Wish we could come back soon.

Being Playful

I remember running around with Daddy's slippers. Dad was also very ticklish and we normally show affection by tickling family. 

See that "Hello! I'm ___" sticker? 

This is where I got the idea for community mixer stickers. And this is me putting order in chaos. 

Introvert Me

I played Elizabeth at the Little Moppet Nursery School Christmas play. This was when I realized I don't really like performing in front of an audience. I was also extremely shy and didn't like crowds. I still don't. 

Toys

I never outgrew having stuffed toys and I collect Yoda figures. I came 13 years after my Kuya. I guess they were all excited because I ended up with so many toys. Mom still has some of them. 

Cake

I always had mocha cake for my birthday parties and that's still what I like. My taste has expanded though, but I still go back to mocha cake. 

One of the projects I want to work on in the coming months is to scan all our old family photos. I was lucky I was able to scan some of my baby photos before Typhoon Ondoy, but the scanning technology back then wasn't as good. Hope to find the photos so I can re-scan them.

Being Silly

When we were kids it was alright when people see you talking to yourself. They'd say, "What an imaginative kid. She'll grow up to be a lucrative writer."

And when they see you messing around with your Lego, building blocks or putting together stuff with clay or whatever you can put your hands on, they'd say, "She'll become an engineer or an architect!"

And when your momma catches you writing on the wall, you'll get a spanking, but at the back of her mind she's thinking, "My child's going to be the next Picasso!"

How come we all grow up? Have responsibilities. Bills. Problems. Bad-hair days. Break-ups. Misery. Whatever.

Goodness, let's not think about those ugly things.

If there's one thing that I never lost despite everything I've been through, it's my talent of being silly. Yeah. SILLY.

Embrace life. Be happy. Be always happy. Things will ALWAYS be okay. Have faith.

That's just about it. I'm feeling quite silly now :)
