Kind of a Useless Update, But the World Needs More Photos of Children. // December 26, 2009

Today, I attempted to clean my room and work on my thesis. I managed to clean a portion of my room and continue ignoring my thesis. However! I have unearthed some gems. I will now show you photos from 1993, when my family went on our first trip to North America. These are from Vancouver, Canada. :)

Prospect Point! My family looking cute. And me… eating string.

Us, on a boat with mama.

My brother, channeling “Mansard Roof!”

With papa, looking at some fishies.

Me, with a starfish. I don’t understand what I was feeling.
My facial expression does not help very much.

In 1993, my life was books and animals.

My sister being a cutie pie.
She turned three years old about a month after this photograph.

HAHAHAHA. Booger jokes.

Favorite! Me & a beluga whale. I think we can all say there was a connection.

OK, that’s all! I wish I could say something more profound about these photographs, or why I posted them. But I just did because I thought we were cute children (what the heck happened, right?!) and I liked beluga whales.

It’s funny how these photographs bring our family closer, in a we’re-all-laughing-at-the-same-thing or that-was-a-nice-time-wasn’t-it? kind of way, whenever we look at them together. My dad says he looks at these pictures when he’s feeling sad or whatever, and he gets cheered up instantly.

I can say the same for myself, since that’s what I did the whole afternoon — and I’m not even sad. Again, apologies to my thesis. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to wing it, making you.

   Did you go on a cruise or something?

2. Raymond Hahaha. It’s his triple-threat! Who knew they made denim shirts? I didn’t! But then again, I am mostly ignorant. I don’t think it was a cruise! But there was a playground inside. Insanityyy.

5. Carina! You and your family are freakin’ adorableeeee. Srsly. Also, beluga whales? My favorite – possibly because of that children’s song.

   I can’t get over the cuteness in this post! ahaha

8. I get what you mean about the ‘we’re all laughing at the same thing’ thing. The past, in a funny way, really brings the family together.

   Hope you had a good Christmas! :)

9. Camille, HA! I wonder if it’s a Filipino thing, or a general family thing.

   I did have a nice & quiet Christmas. Hope yours was swell also. :)

11. walkthroughpuddles, I’m glad you enjoyed! I have the vaguest memories of Vancouver (mostly because we were so young when we went), but I remember stepping off the plane and marveling at how our exhalations turned into smoke because of how cold it was. :)
