Guys, this is weird. Whenever I smell a hair gel and rexona body spray I always remember my grandpa's funeral.
I felt a mixed feeling of sadness and fear. Sadness because he died early and fear because I felt that he just there next to me.
Whenever I taste peanut butter in my sandwich I remember also my sister who passed away at the age of 3.
We used to eat peanut butter sandwich and she always hugs me during snack bonding time.
Whenever I smell a certain bath soap and shampoo, which I will not mention the brand, I remember the missionary house which we have move during my teen years time. This house is haunted and full of creepy experience that you can only watch on movies.
Whenever I see a basketball events in a certain village, I remember the guy who was killed in front of the coach. I closed my eyes as if everything seems fresh. The fear and shocked feeling was still there. I'm afraid of crowd and walk away.
Lastly, a certain song that reminds me my most embarrassing moment.
How about you, what things that makes you nostalgic?

Old songs make me nostalgic. Much more if it's Christmas songs. It gives some pinch in the heart.

Yeah! Christmas songs gives us lots of memories. I remember family reunion, exchange gifts. And songs that reminds us loneliness especially to those far from family.

Music and certain occassions make me nostalgic. When I remember those songs dad used to sing when he was still with us, it brings tears to me. Likewise when it comes to special occasions.

Songs really remind us of certain situation and always brings us to the past. Then when you hear, you will stop and smile, and tell to yourself... I already MOVE ON. hahaha

People like me who has nostalgia, as they said, is a kind of person who has no closure from the past.
