Rewind: Manila Zoo

Another ancient memory that I have is going to Manila Zoo when I was probably 2 or 3.  I was wearing my favorite pair of shoes, it has a cloth like tongue that covers the shoe laces.  I really loved it and I can even remember that feeling.  I also loved the matching shirt that I wore with that shoe.  These events along with the shoes and shirt were captured by a random photographer in Manila Zoo.  I’ll attach it here when I get it scanned, it’s funny because I wasn’t looking at the camera when the shot was taken -  I was busy looking at a balloon fly somewhere on the other side.  Zooming back to the future – I’m still in touch with everyone on the picture, though we all have our own families now, it’s nice to know that once upon an ancient time – we spent a few hours of our lives there on Manila Zoo, and probably was happy.

I have since brought Z and my wife to Manila Zoo and have our very own memory and family picture there.  So probably Z will be looking at it when he gets old and feel the same mixed emotions as I feel right now.  I hope when he looks back – it would be a happy memory, and I hope we would be there with him to tell him the back story.
