Greetings everyone! Today is windy day here in our place. Fo sure my laundry will dry fast as the wind blows. Good thing I decided to wash our clothes today. Though I did it because my partner is not feeling well so I am the one who did all the household chores. Okay, so much for that.
Yesterday I was tagged by @Janz to join the challenge that was initiated by @bmjc98 as she will celebrate her 1st anniversary in this platform. The challenge is very interesting since it will lead us back to our memories during childhood days. So, I decided to join for me to reminisce those fun or not-so fun memories that I had when I was a kid. What's more interesting in this challenge is that you will have a chance to receive a reward from bmjc98 if your entry will be lucky to be chosen by the random generator. So, why not give it a try diba?
Okay, time to start this Getting To Know You More Challenge: When I Was A Kid challenge.
When I was a kid I almost killed my sister.
You read it right. I almost killed her. Every Sunday, we used to have a picnic. We always had get-together with our neighbors and friends. That day the weather was so nice and the sea was very inviting. Young kid as I am, I immediately swam together with my friends. My sister was only 5 years old at that time and didn't know how to swim yet so she only stayed on the shallow part. She was so envy to us, so she called me and wanted me to bring her in the deep part. I didn't agree because I can't carry her since I was also thin. I left her and went to my friends who was swimming in the deep part of the sea. Out of my knowledge, she followed me. Good thing one of our neighbors saw her. She was shouting while pointing my sister. When I turned back, I saw my sister trying herself to grasp some air. I hurriedly swam back to where she was but our neighbor already rescued her. Our mother was so mad at me. I also blamed myself because I left her alone. I don't know if I can forgive myself if something happened to my sister.
When I a kid, I got bruised on my face because of bicycle accident.
It was Friday afternoon when my cousin picked me up from school with her mountain bicycle. When we were almost got home, the brake suddenly fell and it stocked on the rios. The bicycle turned upside down and my face was being brushed in the road. I injured my left arm and had some bruises on my cheeks. My cheeks got swollen. But despite of that, I still went to school on Monday. Some children called me monkey because of my swollen cheek but I just ignored them. But sometimes when I got annoyed, I just stared at them and made my eyes bigger.
When I was a kid, I used to play Dampa ( rubber band )
Dampa game is a game where two or more people will aim to move a stack of rubber bands pass a service line or off an edge. Each player will wager an agreed number of rubber bands and will determine who gets to go first by rock paper scissors ( Wiktionary ). This is the game that I used to play with boys. I was so good at this game. I collected hundred of rubber bands by just playing dampa. My mother was always mad and threatened me that she will cook all my rubber bands and feed it to me if I won't quit playing. So, I sold my rubber bands to my friends. It's better than being cooked by my mother.
When I was a kid, I was boyish.
I was always one of the boys when I was a kid. Most of my friends were boys. I only had few girl friends. I used to wear jersey shorts, large t-shirts and six-pocket shorts. I used to play games that are for boys such as weighted shuttlecock ( sipa in tagalaog, takyan in bisaya ), toy guns and guns that are made from bamboos. Sometimes my parents get mad at me. They wanted me to join games that for meant for the girls, but as hard headed as I am, I didn't listen. What can I do ? I love playing those games.

Same here. Boyish din ako dati. I had girlfriends before but growing up, more on boys talaga ako. Lalo na nung nasa Cebu na ako, puro lalaki lagi ko kasama. Minsan me babae pero more on boys talaga.
