History really is a fun to remember.

We arrive at where and what we are right now because


of the events of the past. Some may be negative and not good to think about, but its normal and
what’s done was already done it can’t be change and it’s not tangible anymore. But, we always have
a choice, and this choices have is connecting a lot of dots of consequence. We learned from the past,
so it’s smart to say we can now choose to be right, to be wise. Events of the past have shaped the
present right now. Those memories are not fresh anymore, but humanity created a tool to capture
it, the camera.

This moment or a picture I picked up from the photo album of my family was so intriguing that it
pulls my decision to choose it rather than the other. The persons that we can see from the image are
my aunts and my grandma’s sister. The red one is my Tita Ging ging, the one with the blonde hair
and a yellow dressed girl is my Tita retchel, the baby is my tita jojo, the adult one who that carry the
baby is the sister of my grandma, her name is lola nene and the last kid on the right is my tita
Gaygay. This titas of mine in this present moment, each of them have their own family and life. So Its
really mind blowing how long this pic is. According to my research about this pic, this was at the year
1990. It was the year where the president was Corazon Aquino. According to them it was fiesta and
they get to gather around to take a pic. Yeah, I know, My titas have pretty faces, blonde hairs and
white skin. Its because of the blood we have from our lolos and lolas that are linked to foreign
bloodlines.

If I were to be in a situation at that timeline, I think would still enjoy my life as a kid. Only as a kid.
Because at that time no Phones, no gadgets to distract me and the friends around me, thus, will be
focused to the playing moments only, which I really think would be fun. But as an adult, it would be
hard at that time to earn money, since the opportunity of learning is only limited. Unlike right now at
the present moment where information is so fast and easy to get on the net.

To the extent, This photo is so valuable for the reason rarity of taking pics in 1990. It’s not like they
can take a pic In just a matter of seconds the moment they decide to. Its just so hard, in this timeline.
Especially The photo was taken by a paid photographer in just one shot and took to long to process.
Even if the quality of the image is not great. The value of it is incomparable to the photos that are
taken right now of our daily snapshots in our mobile phones. Long term Items creates more value
over time. See, Time is more important than anything, and this image is a time captured printed into
a piece of paper.
