September 1983 - July 1984




01 yes, that is me as a one year old wearing smurfette footies. and behind me, that thing with the lights and the dolls hanging all over it is a christmas tree (my dad's parents'- i think- house in the philippines).

02 my parents. also in the philippines. my dad sold the guitar that he's playing in that picture for $20 because i didn't want to learn how to play when i was little... which is too bad 'cause i'd give a lot to have it, now.

03 me doing a hula dance (my mom's parent's house in the philippines).

04 my paternal grandparents standing at the top of the stairs in front of their house.

05 my paternal grandparents and me.

06 my dad holding me up in the driver's seat of trixie the toyota tercel... the car that i do, in fact, still drive.

07 me in front of some rose bushes at sea world. apparently, they're still there (somewhere near the new 4d pirates adventure thingy).

08 my dad and me on a stone dolphin sculpture.

09 my mom and me on a stone dolphin sculpture. gee, i loved those dolphins. i could play with them for hours pretending i was a mermaid (although that didn't happen until i was at least five years old.)

10 riding a seaworld cable car before they closed.

11 playing guitar at rhoda and jr's old house.

12 rhoda, me, and jr. i have no clue where this picture was taken, but we appear to be sitting on pews and they look kind of old. so... saint rose, maybe? now jr has a goatee. oh, and i have more hair, too. but on top of my head.
