A Part of Me 2

Digging from the many boxes stored in my house, I came upon all these old things of mine. They reminded me of my younger days, primary grades to be exact with one exception, and how once in my youth, I was a proud owner of these wonderful things.


I bet this is no longer in fashion nowadays. I would look like an owl but I guess it fits my persona as a teacher. I will definitely look wiser or a weirdo, whatever.


I was mighty proud having this water bottle hanging around my shoulders for show off. I was one if not the only one who spotted this kind in my school. Guess being a show off is already a part of me since my early years. I wonder why 90, must be the number of years I need to keep this as a souvenir of the past. Let me count how many more...


Love this, love this. In its pristine condition, I probably used this pencil case just for storage since it is still clean inside. We always have this proud moments of having the coolest pencil cases around. I am grateful I didn't keep a Hello Kitty one. 


I used to collect matchboxes, not of sports cars, but of construction vehicles. These four are the remaining ones since somebody's been sneaking in my cupboards. They don't make them anymore since I went scouting for some a few years back.


These coloring books are all in good condition. I do not have an active childhood and I was often at home doing my school work (in three languages and one dialect) and coloring. Not that I am studious, I was just a nerd.


And lastly, a good friend from high school gave this to me as a present. Would you know what this one is and how to use it? I will let you guess. 

This is a part of me, cannot be taken away, but had been a source of many memories. The first Part of Me, was posted last January.

When I was a kid, meron akong laruan na patrol car. Remote controlled sya with all the lights and sounds ng isang patrol car. 2 or 3 times ko lang yata sya nalaro dahil tinago na ng nanay ko sa cabinet. Doon sa pinakataas na hindi ko maaabot. Every time, I will just look at it behind the glass. Taga sira daw kasi ako ng mga laruan noon. Isang araw lang itinatagal, wasak wasak na hahaha... buti ka pa you manage to keep all of these! Ang galing!

Wala akong naitabing laruan since hindi ako binibili. Most were given so yung may senti value, naitago ko. May istorya kasi behind each item.
Hi! I am LiLi! said…
Those are treasures talaga.
jonathan said…
Hi Lili,

Though they have no monetary value, the treasure lies in the memories.

Hi Josh,

Naitabi lang at na post for senti reasons. Para kapag nawala na siya, mayroon akong alaala ng lumipas.

Wow, ang lakas maka throwback thursday naman nito sir Jonathan. I'm glad na you still keeping most of these stuffs from your childhood.

Yung last item, parang pang slice yata ng pizza yun. Di ko lang sure :D
jonathan said…
Hindi naman ito fb, pero puwede na din, he,he.

Hindi siya pang slice, mayroon kayang makahula o ayaw lang hulaan kasi malalaman ang edad, lol!

Magbigay kaya ako ng premyo, hmmm...
glentot said…

jonathan said…
Tumpak ka diyan Glentot. Paki claim na lang ang premyo dito, he,he,he.

Joy said…
Kakatuwa naman magbasa nang personal life mo. Touches my heart. Sayang, ako walang mga ganyan from childhood. We had nothing but memories:)
Anyway, nice knowing you more.
Have a nice weekend Jonathan.
jonathan said…
Hi Orville,

Oo nga, minsan we wanted to escape so kailangan natin ng time machine. We wanted to relive the past, to talk to someone we miss, to see someone we love. Thanks for the visit.
jonathan said…
Hi Balut,

Sister pala kita, kaya aanayin ang mga bahay natin dahil sa mga senti thingies na ito. I try to keep only the one with the greatest memories so mga limang kahon yan. Hindi nga mabitawan. Alam mo, may friend ako, tawag namin sa kanya Penoy, hi,hi,hi.
jonathan said…
Hello Joy,

Alaala na din pero pag tumanda na kasi ako baka hindi ko na maalala so blog ko na siya. Oo nga, malalaman pala ng ibang tao kung sino at paano ako lumaki. Hindi po ako mayaman, bigay lang ang mga iyan! :)
Balut said…
@Jonathan
Naku kung makikita mo lang pagka pack rat ko... pati sa collection which I'm sharing one by one sa blog ko then after that baka ma let go ko na rin isa isa hu hu hu

I would love to meet Penoy lol :P
jonathan said…
@ Balut - mahirap mag let go pero material things lang naman yun. Unti untiin mo na lang I dispose- puwedeng ibenta, I regalo sa iba o ibigay sa kawanggawa. I did!
Enjoyed, good post !
