Fun Friday on my birthday

September 25th, 2009 | Author: rochelle

Ugh, another year is added to my age and it officially starts today. Does it mean that I have to brace myself for fine lines, wrinkles, and everything associated with aging? Over my dead gorgeous body, lol! I’ll put up a good fight to stop all the signs of aging, for as long as I can handle (no plastic surgeries included). Teehee!

Anyway, today happens to be Friday and as usual, I’m participating in Blogging for Fun’s Fun Friday. This time, the challenge is for us to dig into our long-forgotten “treasures” and unearth some of our old photos. And I mean OLD. With the age bracket of most of our members, it would mean vintage. Lol!

The ones I found were taken back in 1981-84 when I was 6-9 years old (Ouch, I just gave away my age). Problem is, I’m yet to go to the nearest mall and have the pictures scanned. I tried to capture one of them on my phone camera but this is how bad it turned out:

I was in 1st Grade here and I remember being part of a dance group. We performed at the community gym, the biggest venue we had in our place that time. Whenever our school gym couldn’t accommodate all spectators in an event, our school officials would have the community gym as the venue (so it must have been a big event, hehe). Obviously we presented a Filipino folk dance as evident in my costume.

If I can have the other pictures scanned today, I’ll post them too, the soonest.

Meantime, let me thank the Lord for this wonderful day and for all the blessings He’s been giving me and my family. Another birthday, another year, another opportunity to be happy and to make other people happy, another chance to live a fruitful life. It’s a happy birthday, yes! But from now on, I’ll stop counting my age. *Wink*

Happy Birthday, and two celebrations in a month! So young and very pretty! I am way ahead your time (hehehe, I am a bit older). I remember those days wearing those costumes.

May you have many more birthdays to come, candles to blow and more blessings!
