Isn't it funny how a second passes, and already you can talk about that second as a "back then.." ? I love reminiscing. Even if it makes me all nostalgic and sad, it makes me even happier that I remembered all those things.
Back then...
-Christmas was magical coz Santa came and gifts were miraculously under the tree.
-I wanted to be a zookeeper, but I was scared the monkeys would bite me.
-I believed there was no one out there for me except for Aaron Carter.
-I never thought my parents could be wrong.
-I wanted a little sister so badly. I was a lonely child.
-I used to make my mom cry a lot.
-I seriously thought I'd never stop riding.
-I thought that I'd never be old enough for high school.
-I thought gradeschool life was pressuring.
-I answered the phone and wrote down cake orders and got paid.
-My lolo would call my mom and tell us to meet him in the toy department of Rustan's so that I could pick out any toy(or a whole lot of toys) I wanted.
-My dad couldn't get mad at my when my lolo was around.
-My dad was happier.
-My lolo was still alive.
-I was an outstanding student.
-I cried when I got straight VG's in the report card, coz I didn't have an E.
-I thought teenagers who were in love were stupid and that they'd eventually break up.
-I was only allowed to drink softdrinks on Sundays.
-I looked in my Nana's safe from time to time and try on all her jewelry.
-I wanted pink hair like Jem from Jem and the Hollograms.
-I never spent my weekends in Manila.
-My dream was to be on Little Miss Philippines.
-I relied on laser discs, betamax, and VHS for entertainment.
-I Saw The Sign by Ace of Base was still considered cool.
-I wrote a letter to Tony Blair asking him to send the Spice Girls to the Philippines.
-My parents had parties in the house.
-I'd go to family parties almost every weekend and my cousins and I would all wear stockings and pretend to go skating on the wooden floor.
-I loved opening my closet and picking from all my frilly dresses(with matching frilly socks, frilly underwear, frilly clip)
-I'd have song or dance performances for my parents in their room.
-My friends and I swore we'd never make each other beso when we got older, coz it was such a mom thing to do.
-Our only outings would be in Polo. Swimming and bowling.
-I had chin-length hair.
-I'd cry when getting my hair cut and would only let them cut it if I got my nails painted red.
Ok that's it for now. Haha that was actually fun! Must do it again soon.

I seriously wanted to be a zookeeper. As in the thing I'd worry about was which animal I was gonna take care of.

-when we were in Kinder 2, you were walking while holding your mom's hand and you came across me and my mom who was holding my hand. I smiled at you and you held your fist up to give me the angas look.
-you used to force me to be your horse because you knew I could carry you and actually run fast, beating Anna Lou and the rest.
-we used to collect numerous picture cards from Rockwell.
-I used to be as thin as you, but now I'm a pig.
-we'd cherish all the mais con hielo we could eat in the Tatlong Butas place.
-we used to hate the Senior Girls and the Senior Boys because the boys just used us as 'back-up.'
-we used to ask each other how we were acting whenever we were with guys.
-we used to sit around during Music class not listening to the teacher and instead, we'd write pathetic songs and poems on how crushless we were.
-we used to tell each other how the ones waiting the longest get the best, and that it was only taking forever for our prince charmings to arrive because they got lost along the way and was too stubborn to ask for directions since they were stupid.
-we were bunkmates during the 2003 Nationals and you used to sleeptalk all the time.
-we had our bonding moments in the tree in Montemar, together with Joanna, Cara, Lex, Javier and Migi.
-we used to eat together during Thursdays with Cara because our class was the only one that got dismissed early right before LAB.
-we used to have polaroid cameras but still take vain pictures.
I still have a lot of 'back then...' memories but it's too many to type. Hahaha. I got hawa from you kasi eh. Memories, memories.
