My Childhood Memories

Do you remember when you are a child? Is your childhood a beautiful memory? What were the things you did back then? Did you experienced playing outside with other kids? Or you are more on playing gadgets?

Nowadays, based on my observations, most of the children here in our place are playing mobile games than playing outside. What about in your place?

I remembered when I was a 5-year old I already learnt how to cook, yeah. But just rice and water for coffee XD. Also, I know how to wash the dishes of course. I'm 7 years old when I learned how to cook viands. (Fried, Adobo, Sinigang). Now, I've known a lot, not everything! Skl.XD. 

In my childhood memories, me and my siblings needed to finish all the tasks assigned to each of us before playing with other kids. So we always do it fast because we are excited to play.

These are the games I used to play.

• Chinese Garter

Me, my siblings and friends always play this game. I'm not good at this game or just because I'm a small little girl compared to others, yeah, we are just cute size. XD As you can see in the picture, you'll have an idea what kind of game this is. Well, maybe most of us know this game by just seeing this photo, no need for a caption or description. For those who don't know how to play this, it is just about jumping in a garter up to the highest level until no one can jump in to end the game. The team(or one of the members) that is able to jump to the highest position of garter will win. The consequences depend on the agreement of the two teams before the game started.

• Tumbang Preso

This game is about targeting the can using own slippers by the players that have been protected by the player who becomes guard of the can. Each player needs to get back their slippers before the guard catches him/her and targets that can again. Once the standing can has fallen, the guard needs to get it back to its place (the small circle) and chase the other players to be the next guard of the can.

• Agawang-base (Moro moro)

This game is one of my favorite games to play when I was a kid and this is the most tiring to play too. This game has two groups of people, no maximum number of players as long as both groups have the same numbers. Agawang-base is more about running and you must not be caught by other groups or else you will be imprisoned by them, you will stay at their base. The main focus of this game is to burn the opponent base to earn a score but of course you need to do that without being caught. I remember how I'm able to  make fast movements when the opponent is near to me so I can escape from them. XD Being runner and small is my advantage playing this game.

• Jack Stone

This game has different levels to play on, from easy to hard. I'm not good at this game haha, unlike my older brothers. But I like playing this game too. It is the game where you have a small ball and 6 pieces of stone (or anything that will represent it). I remember we play this whatever small ball we have and get stones.

• Hide-and-seek

I love this game, especially when we play at night. It became a horror game. haha, we are having fun everytime we play this one. From the name itself of the game it is about hiding and the first seeker will seek those players who hide. Hide your feelings and like a bad kid who will not find you, they won't seek for your feelings.XD

• Ice ice water

This game is about running too. When you are caught by the chaser you will stop from running because you will freeze. So, for you to be un-frozen, the other players need to touch you and say "water". Then when you are free, run for your life again, charot. Haha. Of course you need to run so you won't be caught again.

• Step-no

This game is about stepping in and out without touching the lines while you're looking at the sky, we don't use blindfold for this game. When you step in, you will say "step" and if you don't touch the lines, you will hear "no" but if you do, other players will shout "yes" and you are out already. This is good for those who have the capacity to balance their steps. 

These games are just some of what we had played back then. There's a lot of games we play. I used to play card games back then but I won't share it haha. I'm not a gambler, just a little bit! XD Well, I'm good at it (sometimes). Even if I'm not sure if someone will love me, I will gamble and fight for it. Just kidding, I am not that kind of person when it comes to love, maybe in the future but not these days. XD

I can say that I had wonderful childhood memories! Unforgettable! Reminiscing my childhood memories makes me happy. ♡

Thank you for reading this! :)
