Sabrina posted this in our SVS WhatsApp chat group. I decided to save it because, while funny and I got a chuckle out of it, it is so true. And… the photos in it are all reminiscent of times actually lived thru!
Category: Nostalgia and Memorabilia
Shit I find and save for sentimental reasons, nostalgic reasons, and stuff that brings back memories. Mostly fond and fun ones but no guarans all are… plus some ‘never forget’ related saves.
Throwback image
Someone posted this online. Yes, what a throwback memory or when McD’s had ashtrays on their tables and you could smoke! In the once upon a time the largest McD’s restaurant in the world, right there in Tamuning….… Continue Reading “Throwback image”
They brought back feel good memories
First was media posts yesterday of Helen Reddy passing. I scurried onto YouTube to find a few of her hit songs back in the day, because while I wasn’t a particular follower of her work, her work was a very memorable part of my early teen/post childhood times. And with my way of having memories tied to soundtracks,… Continue Reading “They brought back feel good memories”
I left my heart… in … Guam
I saw someone post this somewhere… snagged it because it just reached out to my heart and fuckin’ squeezed it until it hurt.
Aerial view of central Guam
I saw this posted by someone on a Facebook group, and decided to capture it. Aerial view, probably from a drone.
Funny. I have been living away from Guam much longer than I lived on the island. My heart still links back to… Continue Reading “Aerial view of central Guam”

Town House (the original one on the corner of Marine Drive and route 8, not the Agana Shopping Center one) was one of the places I used to go to or walk thru on my way to Julale Shopping Center, Paseo (baseball… Continue Reading “Town House | Old Guam Throwback”
Guam Seal – Carved
Not mine or anything like that. Just saw it online and liked it.
Sweet Caroline
This is another one of those songs from childhood memory that, whenever I listen to it, takes me back to those memories locked deep within the recesses of my mind… to a safe and comforting place. A place where life was so innocent, funloving, carefree. The days that I oftentimes long to go back to…… Continue Reading “Sweet Caroline”
Atan Jesuchristo
I was sitting out back in the lanai, having a smoke, and for some reason I went into reminiscing of childhood days. I mean 7-10 year old days. Memories of going to church (mom and dad used to send us to church, walking distance, every Sunday) came into mind. And, of all the church songs and hymms sang, the one that … Continue Reading “Atan Jesuchristo”
Taking me back to a safe place in my mind
I saw this shared on Facebook, and it stopped me in my tracks to sit and listen. And… not really reminisce per se but rather, let whatever memories attached to this song come flooding back. Preteen days, when life was all fun, carefree, safe. Where my biggest deadline was getting to baseball practice on… Continue Reading “Taking me back to a safe place in my mind”
