i remember.

• buying cheap chocolates from mini stop for a spongebob collectible sticker
• saving money to buy a 100php Princess magazine in a convenience store
• counting from 1-100 every time they ask me to sleep at noon
• suffering from Kleptomania at one point in my childhood
• Ate Jha buying me a pair of shoes and me later realizing it was a bit small for my feet but I settled to not say anything because I was scared that she'll find me ungrateful
• wanting to make a board game of my own with my own concept under a Philippine setting because I thought that was a lot more culturally relatable lmao at age 9?? who is she
• getting a key-like silver from one of our luncheon meat canned goods, thinking it'd be a secret key during playtime, it was able to open my diary so i believed it would be able to open any door from then on. kuya jayr's bedroom was accidentally locked and i brought it out, prayed, and tried it on the knob and guesSS what honey it didn't work
• waking up to pairs of jewelry, this was a time when jen and i still had different schools, and she would bring me home cute accessories which became my collection
• being obsessed over diaries. i can only remember my handwriting but not what i wrote. there was a time when we got home from sm, had to cross the overpass and saw this diary that had a unique rotating padlock, which i fell in love with at first sight, so i made my mother buy it
• this vivid memory of me crying outside a boutique in uniwide bc i was jealous of our helper who had her photos taken in a studio and i also wanted one, and my mother leaving me for a few minutes bc i was being a brat and came back to me again after a few mins. saying we'll eat chicken
• jen bringing home a slime and i misplaced it so everytime i'd see a color similar to the slime, i'd hide it by my hand when it's along the direction of her sight so she wouldn't remember or ask me about it
• feeling really sad about champagne, our aspin dog bc she was getting wet from the rain so i went out and brought out an umbrella for her
• that night in our living room spent watching videotapes of jen's pageant in little raindrops
