Freezing Memories In Time: Transporting Back And Reliving The Emotions

How do you usually document moments?
‎
‎If you ever do, then what motivates you to do it?
‎
‎For me, photography is my thing. Whether it's a selfie, group shot, or catching candid moments, I love freezing memories in time.

It's amazing how a single photo can transport you back to a specific moment and relive the emotions all over again.
‎
‎Like the one I'm sharing now.
‎
‎Since it's Throwback Thursday, let's revisit some memories.
‎
‎It was afternoon when we decided to go grocery shopping.
‎
‎But since we felt hungry, we first stopped by our favorite Karinderia.
‎
‎We ordered spaghetti, my hubby's favorite.

The taste of it was sweet and salty, combined perfectly in the sauce and noodles.
‎
‎We just settled at the small table and filled our bellies.
‎
‎After that, we decided to hit the night market next.
‎
‎From stall to stall, I turned towards one with freshly made empanadas!

They were golden brown and perfect, neatly arranged in a display case.
‎
‎I ordered two empanadas: one filled with pansit and the other with ham and cheese.
‎
‎The crispy outer crust, plus the melted cheese, combined with the ham was just a pleasure for me.
‎
‎While the pansit flavor gives me a nostalgic feeling, as I had such fond memories of this treat as a child.

We used to add a dash of vinegar before to balance the flavors of the pansit.
‎
‎After I took my last bite, we continued our plan to go grocery shopping.

And since baby Aiden was leading the way, look where we suddenly took a turn into...

The liquor area. 😂
‎
‎Yes, you read that right!
‎
‎In front of the shelves of colorful bottles, we train our baby. HAHAHA...
‎
‎He tried to scan the choices, whether we would get the apple vodka, the sweet strawberry mix, or the fancy bottle.
‎
‎Actually, he pointed to the expensive one, a 20% bottle. 😆
‎
‎But we just chose the bottle that we can handle, and placed it into the cart.
‎
‎After the grocery store, we headed straight to the Fun Nation.
‎
‎We decided to play the coin pusher.

‎We had TEN one-peso coins. Yes, 10 pesos.

This is our investment. 🤣
‎
‎Maybe through this, we got a chance to win buckets of coins. 😆
‎
‎I dropped my first coin... Push...

Nothing.
‎
‎Second coin, still nothing.
‎
‎Third, fourth, fifth, still no coins falling. 🥺
‎
‎So I gave the machine to my hubby. It was his turn.

He inserted his first peso.
‎
‎Second, third, fourth, fifth...
‎
‎Nothing.
‎
‎By the end, we were rewarded with tickets.

Tickets that we absolutely didn't need, that probably didn't even buy the cheapest exchange we could get.
‎
‎So that's it. Ten pesos gone. Zero coins won. 🤦🏼‍♀️
‎
‎We went home wiping our imaginary tears...
‎
‎Until our next story...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
