After I read about this challenge in the ASEAN Hive Community, I immediately looked at our photo album. It's been almost a decade since it was not updated since we are already living in a world of advanced technology. I want to put in this thumbnail where I was bare when I was an infant, but I can't find it in our displayed album. I wonder where it is, lol. By the way, let's start.
My Infant Photo
Here is my photo from when I was still in months. My relatives described me as malnourished due to my weight after birth, and my mother said I was naturally brown. Both of my parents are pure Filipino, so technically, I'm Filipino too.
First Birthday
I think that this is the only grandest birthday that we celebrated. My parents welcomed my first year in this world, and I don't know if they took a clip of that or not. But since it was only 2005, I'm confident they didn't save some except dozen pictures.
My Mother's Side Reunion
I wonder who those children in the photo are except for the middle since he is me. I was five years old since it was taken because of the tarpaulin above that I forgot to include which is December 31, 2009. Moreover, I'm sure it was a reunion on my mother's side as it was already in our tradition.
Kinder Graduation
If I were not mistaken, it was my graduation photo when I was in my kindergarten years. I was awarded as Top 4 by that time, and I wish I could still look like this innocent.
My first and last experience in swimming at Valenzuela
Honestly, I can't remember if this is my last swimming in my past hometown. When we were still residing in the capital region, I never experienced swimming in pools at NCR when I was already starting to think. I didn't say that I only attended swimming once in my whole life since we are mostly swimming in our province when my wealthy relatives organize a bond together.
Me and my cousin while my grandfather slices a cake
If you are curious about where I am, I'm the child who wears a watch. This is the only new thing I can still reminisce about in my memory before he was gone. My last memory is when I saw him sleeping peacefully in the coffin. It's been a decade since it was passed, and I'm sure he is already happy.
First family picture
I almost forgot to share this photo, sheesh. Sorry for sharing this photo late. Call me weird, but I'm sure I'm the fruit of their honeymoon after getting married. They got married on December 23, 2003, and I was born on September 25, 2004. I'm their first child, so it means that I am the oldest among my two other siblings.
Customized Varsity Jacket and Cap
It is still fresh in my memory when my aunt treated us to personalized jackets and caps where our names were embraided. Please don't call me CJ unless we are close since I am only comfortable hearing that from my family members and neighbors. All my classmates, neighbors, and friends call me Charles, and I hope you will also call me that.
Halloween Themed SM North
My family has this tradition where we should bond together even once a year, especially during the weeks we celebrate our birthdays. I looked scared in the photo since I thought the statue of wild animals displayed was real to the point that they only shared countable good quality pictures because of my tantrums. I like this kind of celebration since we are already contented in doing window shopping together and eating Jollibee after that. Since I was young, I'm already raised that our jolly starts from Jollibee.
A picture before the tragedy
Literally a tragedy since I almost died if my mother forgot to take me a selfie. I invited my younger cousin to sit on the slide, accidentally slipping where my nape was bleeding. Based on what I have remembered, I almost can't stand, even if it is only a foot due to blood loose. I immediately rushed into the clinic, and they stitched the part where it was cut. It's been a week since I didn't take a bath, but don't worry about me since it's been a decade since it happened. After that, I swore that I would not go in slides again. I have experienced so many traumatic things that I experienced, but that is the only thing I can share.
