The Way We Were - 10 Years Ago

Tonight as I rummaged for a photo to fill in a blank frame, this shot took my attention. Obviously, it was taken from a traditional cam. Yep, we dated during the generation of the old school camera days. The most digital I got at that time was my beeper (first, it was EasyCall given by papa, then switched to Index) and the unshapely, bulky Motorola Handyphone that prided itself to support 4 AA’s in case of emergency. I’m sure colleagues our age would feel nostalgic all too suddenly. Imagine those times! Seriously now, I cannot imagine how much more digital it’s going to get when our little guy turns a decade old.
Sorry, I got distracted. So there, this is the hubby and me around ten years ago. Nostalgia is the least to describe how it feels looking through old photographs. Joy is what I would describe my life with my man. As I look back at all those years, I remember how silly we were and how our love has grown leaps and bounds since. This was taken a couple of years before I married him. Back in those non-digital times, I was already into taking photographs. It is just sweet to see all those photos and turn back time through memories. I look so “nene” and the hubby looks so “totoy.” The vernaculars that translates to “girl” and “boy”. Well, this was us! Minus all those fine and not so fine lines we now have.

Nice photo here, sis kahit na di pa digital. One could easily see yours is truly a match made in heaven…

Thanks sis! Natatawa nga ako when I see this photo. I suddenly feel that this couple staring back at me were too young to be dating back then. And I was already 22 that time. Manang na ako mag-isip, hehe. Either that o sobrang baby face lang kami dyan sa shot na yan. lol! Siyempre that’s relative to how we look now. Time really flies fast.

You two look so cute together. I’m trying to imagine myself 10 years from now. hehe

Thanks Elaine! If there’s anything about looking back, it is this - it can be daunting, in a good way. Exhilarating. It was funny how looking at this old picture surprised me. I mean I wouldn’t mind sporting the same face with lesser lines, but it’s the story behind all those years that my heart leaps over. It’s like the story of my life, the life that I have always wanted. I know how dreamy that sounds, but I really feel blessed with God’s ultimate manifestation of His love to me through the relationship the hubby and I have.
It wasn’t all perfect from the start, in fact we started ugly. It is really God’s faithfulness that put us through and I will forever be grateful.
Your response just made me wonder how we both would look like ten years down the road.

Your title got me so curious, we’ll be celebrating our first year anniversary at the end of the month but we’ve known each other for almost 10 years now. There are ups and downs but I know it’s a part of married life. I wouldn’t change a thing.
I might look for our old pics just to remember the way we were.
habang lumilipas ang panahon parang pabata ng pabata ang itsura mo sis ahhhh unlike me waaaaaaa gurang na hehehe..
thanks for dropping sis ah kahit di nako active don
What an awesome post and thanks for sharing that wonderful picture! It is always good to see couples together for the long haul especially in todays fast paced society where every thing appears to be disposable!
Stay Blessed!
