Introducing.. .The Family

This picture was taken way back when we used to live at Proj. 7. Cecil and I were probably in our grade school days then while Erich was still playing "Batman" and not yet in school.
The fashion rage then was look-alike outfits ergo Cecil & I were wearing the same dress styles. i think the very reason here was to prevent one from "umapal" with the other. Mama used to buy our dresses at Cinderella's. Whatever dress I have, Cecil has to have one too. Unless, Uncle Tony, her godfather, would be handing her her presents - which normally happens all too frequently. My god mother was Ninang Rosie Nacino (sister of Auntie Pining) and my godfather was Ninong Pertoy Caballero.
I rarely saw them when I was growing up for they were both based in Agno. Mabalin nga nag-mano ak met kanyada maduma-duma ket napalladawan ak met itti piso (which was a fortune then).
Do notice the "hair-dids (instead of hair-do). Mama was our hairdresser. Remember awan itti kulot itti bu-ok ko for saan ak met nga immala itti Rosete, bu-ok wise. It was easy then to trim my hair for it was super straight - saan la nga makutab-kutab. Cecil's hair, on the other hand, is very Rosete - kulot. Narigrigat nga puteden ta madlaw no saan nga pare-pareho itti attid-dog ti kartib.
It was so simple then. We were asked to sit near the lawn so all hair remnants will not dirty the living room. Erich, on the other hand, was taken cared of by Papa. Uray kutab-kutab ti pukis na ket mabalbalinnen. His world just revolved around his "batman and robin days " together with the other kiddos ng kalye.
