memory lane

Cleaning my apartment today, i rummaged my way to the old boxes that remained untouched (until now) ever since i moved to this place. And these are some treasures i found:

Some old photos, birthday cards, postcards and letters.

Including love letters, too, hahah.


Few of these photos brought back a wave of good memories...

Early Christmases spent with my grandmas. I missed how my grandma (on photo) and auntie decorate on holidays.

All about the first dance number ever (as i grew older, i lost this magic talent, hahah)

The first ever school award (my brother grinning wide beside).

The first ever poster artwork i did.

One of the first batch of watercolour landscapes i did during college.

And one of the first ever paintings (a self-portrait) i did while discovering my own style.


There are also few things in my luggage i didn't recognize. Like for instance, these antique photos whereas i can't remember how i got. Maybe they're my ancestors or a friend's ancestors. :)

And there are valuable items & memoirs i lost because of transferring from one place to another. I hope someday i can make my own permanent home. 


How about you, what lovely memories were you reminded of ? Made any discoveries today? :)

  1. I love this post!!! Old pictures always have this happy nostalgic feel to them, even if they're not your own. I love them!

    I'm really sentimental so I have wayyy more keepsakes than I should. I'm going to have to pull them out now!
