Pictures from the Days of Our Lives

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."

I decided to clean up my room a bit after seeing what a mess it was. I was also planning on throwing out some old things I had since the time I came home from abroad 6 and a half years ago. Unfortunately, the things to throw out accumulated throughout that time and has proven to be a very difficult task to do. I have to dispose my broke 6 and a half year old Bombay drawer among other things.

But at the same time, I took this as a perfect opportunity to organizing my old high school photos and placed inside an album given to me by mom about 2 years ago (left untouched until now).

I then began to dig through my old stuff too look for those photos. I was able to found most of them but unfortunately, I can't seem to recover some of those taken during my 1st and 3rd years in high school (Banahaw field trip and Biak-na-Bato trip respectively) as well as some Intramurals pics taken way back when I was in grade 6.

So far I have these photos taken during my year in Saint James:

Grade Six: Intrams pics including the one with Maviel in it, the one with Rob and Ms Zamora in it (uhm, make that two), and the assembly of pre-school kindergarteners gathering outside at the school grounds. Add to it is a photo of me, my siblings and my cousins just before we march on to my late grandmother's wake at Concepcion, Malabon.

1st Year:  Pics taken during Intrams, including a 13-year old version of me: fat, chubby, and unphotogenic. This was when I gained notoriety of taking a lot of pictures on events like these.

2nd Year: This one was no different. Pics taken during that year's Intramurals. They include the vain pictures of Maan, Onang's critically-acclaimed artwork, and the popular freign exchange Louie Beltran boy, Raymund Anderson.

3rd Year: Besides the usual Intrams pics was the Araw ng Wika celebrations, which covers the contest wherein sections of all levels decorated their respective classrooms with the best depiction of any Philippine province assigned to them (ours was Pampanga's Best). Oh yeah, that happened to be my birthday, the worst of my then 15-years of exsiting in this world. Condoling picture: the one taken from you-know-who. :D Best intrams pic would be the "magpinsan" photo taken from me and Louie! Yey!

4th: Grad pics. It was during this time that I switched from my Olympus TPS (traditional point-and-shoot) camera to a Fujifilm Finepix digicam and later, a Nikon Coolpix L2. I'm planning on printing some of my digital shots since those taken using a digicam could get lost easily. At least a photo lasts a lifetime (by way of negatives).
