Get to know me in an old-fashioned way!

March 10, 2015

Have you experienced answering an autograph or slum book during your younger years? I bet those of my age will still relate to this.. Oh wait, just to clarify, asa calendar pa naman po ako.hehe Anyway, for those who haven't tried it, it is simply a book filled with questions such as "who is your crush?, "who is your first kiss?"' etc. It will be passed on to everybody you know for them to answer.  Aminin nyu, ilang  autograph book ang binili nyu yet, pare-pareho lang naman pinapasagot nyu..hahaha..Don't worry, guilty din ako dyan.

Why did I ask? Well, I came accross this old blog of Nikki Gil and she talked about this. She even posted a picture of her own slum book when she was 11 years old.

Motto: this is what I always write when I am asked to answer this kind of question " time is gold" epic di ba?

Who is your love? nyahahha, Do I still need to answer this? Obvious naman

Is he your first love? Yes, I believe so.
His special characteristic? He can tolerate my "topak"

Happiest moment : as of now, it was on Oct 18 when I walked down the aisle to meet my lifetime love to start our forever ( cheesy!)
Greatest achievement in life: I have to think about this further
Greatest Dream : to be a mom soon
Most stupid thing you ever done: next question please?

I just want to add, most of the time you have to write a message to the owner of the slum book. I remember I always write acronyms like J.A.P.A.N ( Just Always Pray At Night) or I.T.A.L.Y (I Trust And Love You). haah. basta may masabi lang.

Wow, by answering these questions, I felt that some of my elementary/high school days memories flashed back.  It's really fun when you reminisce those days that you and your friends are eager to write on each other's slum book. Ang sarap mag TBT,

Anyway, do you mind answering these questions also? Tag me so I'll get to know you more!

  5. This is fun. I remember wanting to buy those fancy and expensive slum book in national books store but I cannot afford it. My parent's won't let me have it too, so I just settle for a notebook and I just write the questions. My classmates did the same, kaya ok lang..

  10. I remember doing this back in HS days, hahaha It was so much fun. I wrote the name of the crush on the slum book and my cousin tear it apart and give it to the guy. Gosh! kalerki talaga super hiya ako at inaway ko yung cousin ko. Then, me and the guy became really good friends kasi kapitbahay lang naman kami. Totally bring some old moments.

  24. Of course, those are the days of slumbook. Nowadays, I haven't noticed my kids answering any or talking about it. Well, it's the internet generation, so they have FB?

  30. Oh my! Now I want to look back on my old slum book. Even this is old-fashioned, it is more sentimental because the info is handwritten by friends. - KarenT
