forward thursday.

For months my facebook feeds had been flooded with old pictures for #throwback thursday.  And for months I've been planning to post something in connection to that.  However, all my digital pics of almost 10 years are in my now dust-collecting pink dell. my old laptop has been out of service for several months already.  I tried everything I could to restore it to life but was not very successful.   I would have easily let go of it since I already have a new one but all my pics and digital scrapbooking files are there.  (yes, I was stupid enough not to have a back up file even when my pink dell started malfunctioning before it finally gave up.)  **sigh**  It's one of those "if only" situations.  Still, I haven't totally lost all hope.  I haven't tried third party service for data recovery.  Soon I'll do that.

Throwback thursday is one of the most fun trends in social media.  Especially for me who's very sentimental - as preserved 15-year old candy wrappers from my husband would prove.  Sometimes I would look at the albums I have posted in facebook and realize that so much time has already passed.  We have come from this:

July 2007: 6 months pregnant with Hailey

and six years later, to this:

June 2013: me, 5-year old Hailey and 2-month old Tamara

August 2013: Warren, Hailey and Tamara

And after looking at Hailey's Linggo ng Wika pictures taken yesterday, I saw how grown up she's become.  From my little fashionista awkwardly posing against our green living room wall:

to a budding stylista who prefers skirts and dresses over shorts and pants because it's the girly choice:

Even our wall has undergone several color changes already.  How time flies...  Time that you can never get back but you can always look back to.  So now I have decided to revive my passion in writing.  This is where I will try to jot down my thoughts and everyday experiences as a mom, a wife, and as a superwoman in a corporate attire.  Warren says I'm good at writing.  But then again, he's my husband so he's biased.
