"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Remember this?

Saw this in our car shop today, something that you won’t see on office and classroom desks anymore:

Our old typewriter

And when I mean old,  I mean old… I remember using this around 15 years ago! Imagine! Wala na nga yung letter N eh!

Remember the times when you painstakingly typed your papers using typewriters? You were careful not to make a mistake because that meant either using liquid paper [or that paper with white “paint] or rewriting the whole thing, which, I tell you, is not a good thing! And how about rerolling the ribbon so that you could use it again? Hah, bet you did that!

Wendy had a fun time “playing” with this typewriter! She even brought it home! Well, she was born in the computer age, so it wouldn’t be a wonder if she thinks that the typewriter is “cool” [although I think she was amazed with the sound more than with its use].

Ahhh…. those were the days! :)

Tapos kapag ubos na yung ribbon iikutin mo ulet pabalik? Hehe
Remember nung nasusunog yung neighbor nila Jane when she was in college? The first thing she took out was their typewriter and her thesis.
