A couple weeks ago, while I was hanging out in Carla’s house, I saw their family photographs. Very old family photographs. Like more a hundred years old. I was so amazed because it is so hard to preserve photographs yet the photos were in very good condition. I talked to Carla’s dad as to how did they got to maintain the photographs. He told me that it was his grandfather who owned the photographs. If you’ll calculate it, photographs were taken nung 1880s pa. The photographs were very nice because at the back, people wrote dedication and they wrote it in Spanish. Yes oh yeah, the lovely Spanish language (mi amor). I love it because Filipinos at that time can speak Spanish fluently. At the same time, I hate it because of the fact that they can speak Spanish and our era can’t. I wished we could have maintained (at least that).

I asked uncle what are they going to do with the photographs. He said that it was so many that they have to throw some of it. Since I love photographs, I asked him if I could have it.

And I got it. Yey! Here's a sample:
