I was taking this printed portrait with my phone Poco X3 GT camera in 2022 when I went back to my hometown with my hubby to have our 6th wedding anniversary honeymoon trip. I was looking for some old photos in our family album but when I found this portrait I couldn't help but laughing out loud. I was 12 years old when the portrait was taken for my elementary school graduation certificate in 1987. I look alike my mother at her teens (I forgot to safe her portrait). I still remember where we went to take this portrait before I attended the final examination at school. It's a famous photo studio in our town "Princen". I was already wearing spectacles at that time; it was minus 2 (I have myopia when I was at 4th grade). https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmY2ms7i33vrrw3JPVMu4D3cBAhmC2xnnktorL6t1jq8DL/gw%202024.jpg

This is me in 2025. Alright, I think I use a beautify filter when I took this selfie in Black and White mode. The flecks, the wrinkles, the camera hates me so much!! I'm 50 but I didn't lose those clear eyes on seeing the world and anticipating the fun I will have in the future. I still have my Myopia and it's minus 6,5 now. I supposed to include one more photo but then I remember that I need to save up something for next week, hehehe. This is gonna be the first under 200 words post I ever create on steemit, LOL.
