I am a very sentimental person. I keep things (kahit parang basura) when I feel they are really worth keeping, or even say goodbye to my old things I used/kept for a very long time. I remember when my mom freaked out after cleaning my room and saw an old box with candy wrappers from candies I ate with my best friend in gradeschool, bus tickets from my very first provincial trip, Mc Donalds softdrink's plastic cup from my first barkada gimik :p, pair of used chopsticks..of course I cleaned them first :) and other old stuff with lots of memories behind 'em. I love keeping all the good sweet memories alive.
As I browsed through my old blog posts , I saw this letter I wrote for my tsinelas na pambahay a few years back. Got those slippers as a Christmas gift from my favorite cousin. I think I've been with those slippers for almost 4 years :)
"Sa umaga pa lang pag-gising ko ikaw agad ang hinahanap ko...ganun din kapag pagdating ko ng bahay ikaw agad ang hanap ng mata ko. Umiinit agad ang ulo ko kapag nakikita kong ginagamit ka ng iba...lalo na pag hawak ka ni mama habang humahabol ng ipis. Kaya hindi kita masisisi kung bumigay ka na kasi sa dami ba naman ng dinaanan mo alam kong suko kana. Antagal din ng panahon na natulungan mo ako...salamat ha..paalam"
Tagal ng sliper mo ah. 4 years :) Kagaya mo rin ako na mahilig magtabi ng kung ano anong bagay.. kahit nga balat ng candy basta galing sa mahalagang tao para sakin :)
ReplyDeleteoo 4 yrs din antagal pambahay lang kasi un :) talaga pareho tayo? whohooo! im not alone! :)
Deleteako din,,kc merong magagandang memories na naiwan maliit,,malaki,,papel o tissue man,,minsan nga pati tapon o tansan naitatago kc sila yung maliit na bagy na nakasama mo
DeleteAwww... pakrat ka din pala tulad ko. I'm still keeping my game/anime cards or "teks" in an old shoe box. Mga 12+ years ko na syang tinatago lols. yung iba kong lumang school stuffs, ayun inanod na ng baha nung Ondoy lols :D
ReplyDeletebale, tinapon mo yang old tsinelas mo? or naka tabi pa din?
So ikaw ang lalaking version ko :) sayang naman naanod ng baha ung sayo. make new memories na lang ulit :)
Deleteoo tinapon ko na ung tsinelas wala na kasi ako mapaglagyan, saka pag nakita ng mama ko baka gawin pang pamalo ng ipis :D
Parang ako lang. I have a box full of letters dating from when I was in grade 5. Iyong iba nawala ko na but I saved most of them. Ang sarap balikan. :)
ReplyDeleteYes the reason why we saved them is for us to see them and remember those good old memories once in awhile :)
DeleteAww... Sana binigyan mo sya ng magandang libing. hehe. Yung mga ganyan ko naiwan sa dati naming bahay. Nung binalikan ko tinapon na daw. Tch. Kaya ngayon bina-box ko na yung mga bagay na may senti value sakin.
ReplyDelete*Pareng Jay was here

Deleteit's really sweet of you to even write that letter to your slipper! "lalo na pag hawak ka ni mama habang humahabol ng ipis." -- this cracked me up! bakit nga naman yun pang tsinelas mo ang kelangan pamatay ng ipis?? hehe i no longer have my stuff from high school, although i do wish i didn't throw away my poetry notebook from back then.
ReplyDeletethis was a delightful read, roselle! thank you so much for sharing! God bless <3 :-)
Haha! oo kakatawa ung ipampalo sa ipis :p
DeleteIt's so good to still have our old stuff :) Make new memories to keep! Compile your poems and have them saved! :)
Thanks for dropping by Irene! :)
Kakatuwa naman, pati tsinelas may tula! Ok yan!
ReplyDeletePero talaga kahit mga tickets at candy wrappers? sabagay father ko ganuon din, kahit na simpleng bagay basta memorable ay itinatabi.
Hehe, wala lang naisipan lang gumawa ng letter :) Oo kahit ano basta may sentimental value :) Glad to hear about your dad who's fond in collecting memories too! :)
DeleteHaha I also keep basura which I think is worth-keeping...marami din akong candy wrappers until now buhay pa rin sa baul ko hihihi...

Deletenaalala ko ang kantang tsinelas...mang kulas pabili nga ng tsinelas......can we exchange link....
ReplyDeleteHello Mang Kulas..este..Arvin :) Sure! exchange link! :)
DeleteI'm that way too! But since I've moved more than a couple of times already, I HAD to throw a lot of them out. Kind of sad but it now feels liberating. :)

Hello JanM! Yes I agree :) make new memories again and keep 'em! :)
Deletethanks steve! will check your blog too! :)
ReplyDeleteAww, that's cute. I'm really sentimental like that too. Little things that wouldn't be important to others, I remember or keep around to always have those little reminders that instantly bring me back to memories!

Sabrina
