Childhood days is the best memories that someone could ever have because before you become adult you bacame a child first. There are many things that you couldn't imagine you'd done before, either you're proud about it or makes you feel embarass this present days. Anyways as a child you're not aware of the things that is happenings around you, what important to a child is playing all day in the backyard, in the street and in the sand.

When I was a kid, there are things that I've done, that making me feel embarassed this present days. Remembering those moments, I coudn't imagine that I was like these before:

• First, I was selfish when it comes to food

  -I looked chubby when I was a kid maybe because matakaw at selfish ako haha. When my brothers and siters asked me some food, I glared them with my big eyes. If they insisted I cried a lot and makes paawa effect to mom. If they begged, I make fight with them, mostly I was good in grabbing hair. Because of this, my sisters hated me so much, until now they couldn't forgot how selfish I am when it comes to food lol.

• Second, I was called a quarrelsome back then

  -Yes, you heard it right palaaway ako, even with my siblings, I am not afraid of them because I knew mom was at my back. With my sisters, I always grabbed their hair when they annoyed me, calling me pig and ugly. To my friends, who were not good to me I stone them a lot, I really don't care if they will get hurt all important to me is to get revenge. I am not kind when I was a kid lol.

• Third, I don't want to take a bath and comb my hair

  -My mom always scolded me because of that habbit. I don't know why I am afraid of water before, I even went to school without taking a bath lol. That was the time that my mom hit me bad with her palm, slipper, and hanger. Seriously, I felt hurt really bad that time, mom didn't stop until not swearing to her that I'm going to take a bath everyday, because of that I swear to God I will take a bath everyday na because I don't want to get hit again. Also she cut my hair very short, near to look like a boy, my classmates called me lesbian because of that. I even hate my mom for doing that to me.

• Fourth, I climbed a tree, wearing a dressed, and I didn't expect to be hooked on the nail.

  -I can't forget that moment, because I am with me my brother, even he was still a child that time I still felt embarassed. I thought he didn't see me, to my surprised he got panicked and called for helped. I knew I needed some helped but I don't want anyone seeing me hanging on the tree wearing a dress. Before, my brothers could arrived I did everything I could to get down, I don't care if I get hurt or bruise all important to me was to get down, thankfully I succeeded tearing my dress hooking on the nail before my brother could arrive. I don't know how to face anyone if someone caught me hanging on the tree wearing a dress lol.

• Fifth, I thought Lice was good to my head

  When I was a kid, I thought lice was good to my head, so what I did was, when I catched some lice to my friend I put it in my head. I even proud telling all this to mom, to my surprised, mom don't want me beside her in the bed at night, because she was afraid if mahahawaan daw siya Haha . That was the time that mom explain to me about lice. Kaya pala ang kati na ng ulo ko the next day haha. Because of that I am not allowed to play outside until hindi pa natatanggal lahat ng kuto ko, ang anti ko ang nagtiyagang tanggalin ang kuto haha after 3 days nawala din hehe.

• Six, I was bully back then

  - I remembered, I love putting stone on the bag of my classmates, and laughing them if they didn't notice it. I also find it happy, getting erasers that fell in the floor haha I even saw my classmate looking for it but I still kept it. I was happy looking them worried. I have mine but I don't know why I love seeing my classmates crying lol.

• Seven, I love writing my skin with ballpen

  Haha mom scolded me a lot because of this, everytime she saw a lot of drawing on my shoulders, she grabbed me and hit me again and again. She once said, that I am stubborn kid lol no question about that haha.

I admit, I wasn't good back then haha as you can see all I shared, are those moments that makes me feel embarassed at the same time smiling, because I wasn't aware of my actions before whether good or bad. Anyways I was just a kid, who didn't aware of many things before haha. Stupid kid indeed haha!
