There were many issues and that are currently spreading and affecting the lives of the people (yay! why so serious) which makes me take life so seriously. How I wish I'm still a kid (90's kid to be exact).
Before there are no limitations of being a kid. No expensive gadgets to play about. No social networking sites that will kill your time. No problems at all.
The moment of waking up early and helping my grandparents in cleaning the whole yard when vacation comes. Harvesting some vegetables in the farm (turnips, camote, and corn). Riding on my grandfathers bicycle and sometimes on his carabao. We even wait for the pandesal vendor which he used his bicycle and selling house to house. Pandesal + hot coffee = solve for breakfast. There are no bacons or even hotcakes. Just a simple living.
I grew up in province which makes me so proud of because there are lot of things I've enjoyed doing. Making kites. Drinking water directly to the faucet. Showering in the rain (but we never got sick, because the rain is still not polluted).
Playing outside is our happiest moments. We can play outside without limitations (just don't play near the road). We do always play habulan, piko, taguan, langit-lupa, ten twenty, chinese garter, trumpo, jackstone, bahay-bahayan, titser-titseran, and making paper bangka near the canal. We always got bruises while playing but it's not a big problem after crying we're going to play again. We were healthy back then.
We don't have any gadgets just like laptops, X-box, cellphones, playstations, Ipod's, internet, and social networking sites (Facebook, Friendster, Twitter, etc..) All we have are PLAYMATES our so called FRIENDS. Friends that we can talk and play with. Friends whom we can share repetitive stories with.
Memories I can treasure and share with others. So lucky enough to experience this things. I'm so lucky that I'm a 90's baby. :)
Kid's today will no longer experience the fun of being a kid. They are now attached to those gadgets they have and even more demanding.
Aminin mo, ginagawa mo munang singsing ito bago mo ito kainin.
