My mom recently uploaded pictures of her when she was young, BD – Before Dee. And what perfect timing, as I had no ideas for my Y! Thanks Mommy!
The thing is, it’s a bit strange to think of your parents as being young once. I mean yes of course you knew they were, but you only met them when they were already these fully grown people, so that’s how you always think of them. But guess what, Mom was young yesterday! And here is proof.
 |
| Uncle Corly, Auntie Betty and Mom |
 |
| Lolo Jesus, Lola Puring, & Mom |
 |
| Mom’s high school graduation (why so serious?) |
 |
| Mommy’s 18th birthday Look at their hair! |
 |
| Pinning ceremony |
 |
| Mom’s college graduation, with her own mother |
 |
| Mom during the year when the Philippines first won Miss Universe |
 |
| Mom @ 37 marries Dad @ 28! They met only 3 months ago. Whirlwind romance! |
 |
| My dad’s family. Part of them, anyway. Lolo Felix, Lola Noning, Auntie Esther, Uncle Jonie, and Auntie Puding. |
 |
| They have their first baby – me! |
 |
| They have their second baby, Ivan. I look very suspicious of my baby brother here. LOL. |
 |
| My college graduation |
See something familiar? Lemme help:
 |
| Mom and me |
De ja vu, isn’t it? 😀
Speaking of deja vu, look at this one:
 |
| Before and after |
LOL, right?
One last picture:
 |
| Dad’s 57th birthday |
Can’t wait for my scattered family (Ivan in Abu Dhabi, Dad in Africa, Mom in Philippines, me in Singapore) to be all together again soon!

This post is part of the A to Z Challenge, a blog hop that goes through the alphabet for all the days of April except Sundays. I have decided to go with the theme of Alliterations.
That's crazy how much you guys look alike.
