When Happy Moments Become Memories

    "When time doesn't allow us to make moments, I'd still be here. I'm glad all of you came to my life."

   Opened my Facebook account awhile ago and saw a notification intending a tagged photo of me. Curious though, I instantly go through it and found PRICELESS photos of my high school friends. Aww. I know, we're living separately now. We don't usually hang out since we're now at different departments in one university. (Some are studying at Manila)

Second Row: DANNAH ACE UBAY. VINA DENISE MALABAYABAS. CRISHA JAE RAMIRO.
APRIL ANNE BARENG. MA. JOREINA THERESE BLANCO. CHRISTIAN JAY SALUDARES (hidden)
ADELU DALERE. YASMINNE UY. CHAMP PRINCETON RAE RANA
First Row: MAYROSE DELA CRUZ. MONETTE SALVADOR. AMERY ANTONIO.
MA. CRISTINA CASSANDRA IGNACIO

I know. They wouldn't be the people I usually hang out with. But they share a huge portion on my heart.

I miss those times wherein upon entering our room, I'd go our usual place where we make chats and do our homework in Trigonometry at the same time. (I'm crying. JK) After our first period, we gather ourselves in one table and discuss a lot about the test, about the lecture. And we'd all be saying "Gosh. That's tough. I hate that lesson."

After class, whenever we find time (or in the right mood), we would opt to go to the Stadium (Oval) for some walking. We make 2 rounds until we're tired and someone needs to go home.

2 months had passed, I'm missing them so badly. Whenever we chance upon each other on the hallways of the University, we're excited like bees. Being with them is like an oasis in the desert. 

THESE ARE MY PRICELESS GEMS I'VE FOUND IN MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS.

Cleopatra-inspired

   I so love this dress I chanced upon on a fashion site. The silhouette may look just simple and classic, but it gives a striking accent on the dress. Don't you love it? At first look, it seemed like a jar. :)

Sunday Blast

   So, here's what I wore last last Sunday. I wasn't able to post this photo because of the inability of the internet to function well. Okay. My mother was kind enough to give me her outgrown floral shirt. It was definitely an apparel that should be in  every girl's closet. I paired a floral shirt with a braided belt and white pants. If you notice, I wasn't wearing my doll shoes. This was taken before I change my clothes. I was wearing slippers then. So, pardon me.

More fun in the Philippines

  Museum dates back all of the things the past brought an impact to our generation right now. Some, may have been completely forgotten by teenagers. That's why there are museums to bring back ancient times.

(Okay. So this wan't properly arranged because of the Uploading necessaries)

So. Let's start with this art-deco on a room alloted for a photo gallery of the famous Ilocano heroes that boost our nationalism. A displayed glass that has a miniature scenario of the execution of the three priests named GOMBURZA (Father Mariano Gomez, Father Jose Burgos, Father Jacinto Zamora) 

 A replica of a vessel that was used in the old times for trading.

 Ilocano dresses. I could imagine women wearing this Filipiniana during those times.

 Construction of the world-renowned UNESCO Heritage Site, Paoay Church.

 The Tobacco Monopoly

 An exact replica of a "garrote" that was used to execute the GOMBURZA priests.

 A Treasure Chest. How classic.

 I have no idea what this is. I just captured it right on time before we leave

 A look of the ancestral house.

 It's common for Filipino houses to have an art gallery on their dining room.

 look what I found. An old-times telephone. We had one like that when I was a child.

 Known for being religious, Ilocanos display their collection of religious figurines.

 Piano. My favorite

 Cello. We were not allowed to play it or even touch it.

 Look! This captured my attention. This was a telephone, I think?

 Dining room

 A glimpse of the bed rooms.

 Accessories.

 A sewing machine

 Take a look on Father Burgos' Bedroom

 This was Father Jose Burgos

 Grammy. Joke.

 Chandelier!

 Kitchen

 A coffin in the old times

 These are their musical instruments

 Weapons in the ancient times

 Jewelries

 Also a weapon

 Baskets and things used for fishing

 Garden

 Machine for weaving

 Jars

 Father Burgos

 Art gallery of the Ilocano Heroes

 The Battle of Tirad Pass

There are a lot to in Ilocos. It's more fun in the Philippines.
