“Life gives us brief moments with another…but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time…”

A memory is something that can be remembered.. Well, in the world of IT, it serves as a storage device where you can save and retrieve information.. In a sense, those two meanings are almost the same…

I love experiencing different kinds of things… It may either be eating new foods, going to places I’ve never been to, meeting new people, or just spending time with my friends… Even though they are the same people I’ve been for the past few months, everyday is a new day for all of us.. We may or may not be together at all times, but we make sure that every second that we are together will be remembered..

One way to remember memories is by looking at pictures.. But pictures can have two meanings.. Its either it shows you the mood of the people in the picture, or it can show you what the people in the picture wanted you to see.. Meaning, sadness can be hidden at the back of a smile.. But nevertheless, those are still memories..

I for one, is a kind of person who likes to remember everything.. Medyo makakalimutin na kasi ako kaya I tend to cherish all of the good things I experienced.. So after I bought my camera, I started to take pictures of every activity that we had… And not just that, of course, also the places Ive been too.. and those serves as an instrument to remember the good times I experienced..

But before buying my camera, guess what I do to have a memory of that activity?? Of course, nagpapapichur gamit yung camera ng kasama ko… wahahah… Inde seriously, I had a habit of keeping the receipts of everything… Like when we went to Disney Land, I kept the receipt para maalala ko na nagpunta kami dun pag naghalungkat ako ng gamit sa future.. ehehe.. Aside from that, I have this thing of acquiring things from a person.. What do I mean?? Mahilig ako manghingi ng gamit.. wahaha… And funny, yung mga nihihingan ko naman ng gamit, eh nagbibigay naman… So those things that I got from my friends serves as a memory of them.. To remind me that I have a friend called [name].. Even things that I received from them, yung kusa nilang nibigay kahit inde ko nihihingi, I take extra care of it..

Here are some things that I always bring with me that serves different memories of my friends or places that I went to:

Calendar Keychain from Disney Sea

from my friend kuya James

Calendar Keychain from kuya James

This is a calendar bought from Disney Sea.. Well, this is not actually mine. I just borrowed this from my good friend kuya James, and I plan to return it to him once I return back and live in Kamakura again.. So maybe you are wondering how this became a calendar.. Well, If you can notice, the months, years, weeks, and days are all written there.. All I have to do is to align the current month to the current year by rotating the external platter… Once aligned, the weeks and the days will be displayed in the lower half (with respect the the year) of the keychain.. See picture for visual reference.. Astig noh… ehehe.. I received that from him on my last day in Kamakura, where we had a farewell party..

Nagoya Castle

Bought from Nagoya Castle

Bought from Nagoya Castle

This is a keychain I bought when we visited Nagoya Castle on our 3rd day here in Nagoya.. If you can notice, my name is written there, as well as the date and the word Nagoya Castle.. At the back is an image of the Castle itself… Well, this is a machine-made-self-input type of keychain… Well, I bought two separate things: one is the base, and the other one is the holder.. The base is the design itself where my name is machine-embedded.. Then the holder is just the perimeter of the base and serves as the keychain.. Ang kulit nyan kasi itatype mo yung name mo sa machine, ilalagay mo yun bilog, tapos may maririnig kang tumutunog tunog, then umiikot yung bilog, then ayun na… yan yung kakalabasan. ehehe…

Half Mickey Keychain

Half Mickey Keychain from Disney Sea

Half Mickey Keychain from Disney Sea

This is a keychain that my friend Dabbie and I bought together… This is just the half of it, and the other half is of course with Dabbie… The shape is parang yin and yang, and the other half has different design.. It has jewel embedded in it, rather than just normal embosed figure of mickey.. I find that keychain cute, thats why I encouraged Dabbie to buy it with me.. Also, to tease my friend Ginpao because he loves Mickey so much.. ehehe..

Toyota Museum Keychain

Toyota Keychain

Toyota Keychain

We got this for free when we went to the Toyota Museum.. Little did I know that Toyota was a factory that produces thread… Then eventually it became to what we now know as the car-producer toyota… Honestly speaking, those keychains are for students only, but since we are foreigners naawa yung lalake kaya nibigyan nalang kami.. ehehe…

Fleur De Lis

Fleur de Lis from Shirt

Fleur de Lis from Shirt

This is from a necklace that came with the poloshirt that Dabbie gave me… Since I dont like necklace that much, I attached it with my other keychains..

And finally, this is the Result of those Keychains and stuffs:

My Cellphone

My Cellphone

This is what my cellphone looks like… Ang daming naka kabit… ehehe.. Sa totoo lang, mas mabigat pa yung keychains kesa sa cellphone ko… ahahah… And that just shows that I really value things that I receive from my friends… ehehe…
