As what I have said, I already discuss my experiences about Playing Pogs and Tex and Playing Piko. Now, I will share you some things about Playing habulan, Playing Hide and Seek and Spider hunting. That was really exciting, I am pretty sure that most of you will smile and remember about these things while you are reading it. So, Let's start!

Playing Habulan

I think that most of knew this game, habul-habolan. It is the game wherein there are lot of players, maybe the players will do the "manuhan" first, and it can be perform in many ways like "maiba taya" and many more. After the "taya" was chosen, the players will start to run and the "taya" will start to chase them. The slowest player is the one will become the target of the "taya", he/she will start to chase him, if the he/she touches the another player, the other player that was touched become the "taya" now. This game was really exciting but really exhausting, but it was worthful. The tiredness will filled by happiness. When we were child, we are doing habulan sometimes on school or in a classroom. We are doing this also in our whole barangay, no boundary, it was really exhausting especially if you are the slowest one, but as what I have said it was worthful.

Playing Hide and Seek

Back then, hide and seek is also one of the most popular game. It is also exciting and intense game for us. When we are playing it, sometimes we set some boundaries to make it not so hard to find our co players. If there's already a "taya" the one player will poke the taya on his or her head, and the taya will try to guess what is the finger that is used to poked him or her, one wrong pick will be count as 10, the taya will continue to guess until he guessed the right one, the wrong answer until to the right answer will be count and it is the time that is given to the players to hide themselves. If the taya done with counting, he will start finding the players. It is the time where the players who are hiding feel nervous because sometimes, taya was good enough on finding his friends. This game is really exciting and cool, there's also a time that we are going home instead of hiding hahaha(am I already experienced it? Hhhhhm🤔 I think I did).

Spider Hunting

Spider hunting is also an amazing activity back then. Before the night comes up, I and my friends met up in one place to make a plan. What time should we go to the forest, what are the things that we need to prepare and what part of the forest should we hunt. After we met, we are going back home and we are preparing the things that we need. We need bag, box for spiders and of course, flashlights. Sometimes the boxes of our spiders are made of match box, and then we will cut some cartons that fits to those boxes. Those cartons will act as a divider. Ok let's continue, after we prepared we will meet again in one place to get ready for hunting, after a while we will go to our target place to hunt some spiders, that was incredible, sometimes you will see spiders that is making their houses using their web, while the other spiders are ready for trapping their prey, they are waiting at the center of their houses and wait the prey to hit on their web. This activity made us tired but our tiredness will turn into happiness if we saw our boxes full of spiders.

Closing Thoughts

These games and activities makes my childhood meaningful. We experienced a lot of things that is very memorable. We need to treasure all those memories and share it to others, to make them realize that our world was full of happiness.
