A Sweet Musical Trip Down Memory Lane

High school ... oh high school ... It's this chapter of my book associated heavily with teeny bopper music which up till now (lets say after 8 or 9 years) still make me smile and sigh and go into a complete daydream. Some used to say high school was not a good time for them ... am not saying its perfect for me (God knows I have my own share of ups and downs) but looking at it now, it was great despite the problems.

Music has always been my companion in the solitary moments of studying, of going home, of walking round the coliseum. Yeah, I was pretty much a loner back then till now. Don't get me wrong I have my set of friends who are still around up till now but there's always that time and that part of me who wants to be just alone with my music player (a walkman back in high school, a portable cd player in college and an ipod now). So one can just imagine the number of cassette tapes I've accumulated over the 4 years I spent in highs school and the number of cd's I've accumulated over the 4 years in college. 

So to begin here's a list of those tapes and cd's I've acquired (gifts from friends and from my mom).

These tapes have been put away for good in a box like other stuff mom used to think I've outgrown. Now that she's gone and I've found the time to take them out ... they placed a smile on my face making me remember all those memories associated with each song, with each tape. Mushy me ... can't help it. Am playing them one by one and must be bec. of age, a few sounded cranky and broken. But they're here and forever they'll be ... part of my memorabilia
