This TikTok screenshot that posted on Facebook got me a couple of days ago as I am relatable with the caption.

The most simple things in our lives right now, was like a dream when we're kids.

And I even shared it on my wall and said it's true.

I came up in a poor family wherein I didn't experience the life that other kids experience. I am a 1990s baby and I know some of you too. When I was a kid I am happy every time that my mom will told me that we will go on the town proper because I know we will be buying something or eating something. During my childhood days I am happy when I have a 5 pesos pocket money when I am going to school and because 5 pesos is not that big money that time , all I can afford is to buy a piece of snacks and a drink that cost one pesos. Sometimes the canteen offers a hot soup that is packed in a plastic container and we will eat in by mean of biting a little portion of the plastic and there's no spoon needed.

I can't afford to buy a chocolate drink that time like Chuckie or buy a delicious bread like crossini because my pocket money is only five pesos. I only tasted those kind of food when my classmates gave some to me. You know , sometimes our rich classmates didn't consumed thier food and then they gave it to me and yeah I will accepted it.

I grew up eating junk foods that cause one pesos. Did you know the candy that you can buy 4 pieces for only one pesos? And thought reject kisses chocolate that sell for a cheap price.

I am only staring at the biscuits like cream o in the store because even if I have a money to buy that one I will still choose to buy the bread in the bakery worth 5 pesos because its big and I will he full when I ate it.

During my high school days , my pocket money became 15 pesos and I can afford to buy a shake worth 5 pesos and a flying saucer worth 7 pesos but I didn't buy those kind of food always because I am also saving money out of my allowance. Sometimes I don't have allowance and I experienced going to school without a single penny in my pocket.

On my college days , though my allowance increase the expenses also increase. I have a 70 pesos allowance daily and my fare that time is 50 pesos and my lunch is 20 pesos. Sometimes I will walk instead of riding a tricycle just to save 15 pesos and I will save it.

Then I graduated and experience to work and started earning money though it is not high as the other but still you can now buy the food that you really wanted when you were a kid.

I remember when I was working I don't want a fastfood anymore because I always ate it everyday then I remember when I was in the province I envy those people who eating in the fastfood.

Those chocolate drink or even the milk that you wish to drink before you sleep when you were a kid , you can now drink it because you can afford it.

Those sleep wears , bags , phones that you wish to have during your teenage years , I can now buy it. Though it not high end as the other , for me it's a victory that I need to celebrate because finally I have those stuff that part of my dream when I was a teenager.

Earlier I shared this thing to my husband because we were eating a party size piatos and a cold milk after we eat dinner and he said when he was younger he didn't experience to eat piatos because it was pricey and konti padaw yung laman. Then he added that our son is lucky because he experience to eat the food that he wants unlike us. Like he was eating a cupcake earlier and eat marshmallows and eat chocolate , drink C2 and then ate piatos again and sometimes he even wasted it because he wants another food but I always reminded him not to waste any food because there's a lot of people who experience hunger.

You know thier friends here , a couple of weeks ago I cook some pancake and then my son and niece didn't consumed it all and then they forget it after that's why I decided to give it to their friends. Then you know what happened? The pancake was gone instantly and even kulang panga. Then I remember myself on them when I was young.
