“Some Silly and Nostalgic Moments of my Youthful days”

It's fun to be a kid, that's how I assume of my younger years, though I grew up in a broken family, I still consider my childhood memories as nostalgic.

During my younger years, I was raised by my dad who isn't that strict. He lets me play all day with my cousins, he seldom checks me in our playground, he's protective but not showy. And I admit, I made lots of silly things during those days, and there were things that I only enjoyed during those years and whenever I remember them, I can't stand but to put a smile on my face.

Let's journey down memory lane once again!

The “Royal tru-orange and a fruit” tandem

I don't know if some of you could relate to this, but I just reminisce the times where I could only taste a sweet orange soda and eat an apple or an orange only when I am sick. During regular days, our father seldom gave us sodas or soft drinks. Even if we begged for some, he wouldn't buy any because for him it's unhealthy and unnecessary.  But when the day comes whoever was sick, me or my brother, my father never failed to buy us this “food combination". Also, a hot noodle soup was always present too! That's why getting sick before was a bit exciting because we were treated like VIPs for a day. 😅

The “Layas Drama”

Have you ever been scolded before? Me, I also experienced being reprimanded by my dad, because like any other kid, I also made mistakes, but whenever I was scolded even it wasn't my fault or for me, I am innocent, I will find a place to hide so my father would think I run away from home. 😅 But he always knows where I hid, so it's always a mission failed.

Playing Playhouse to another level

This could be one of the best rememberings every child could have! Did you experience playing playhouse too with your friends, siblings, or cousins? I, my cousins was my best playmates before. We always played playhouse in our home since my father was often not around because of his busy schedule. At first, we were just making a house made of our blankets, but we're not contented, then we decided to add folding beds. Those times, way back in 2003 or something, folding beds were very common. But we're not contented with the results, so we decided to make our playhouse a little bit realistic by assembling small or thin woods around as pillars and form a square-shaped tiny house. Then, we used empty sacks of rice to cover as walls and ceiling. It sounds silly but we even tried to hid there when the rain comes. 😅

Pikon-Talo

Pikon is what we call an easily angry person over small things and who's furious when losing. Sometimes they're the ones who tease but they end up mad first. 😅 That's why “Pikon-Talo” was used to call them. Talo means you lose. And I had so many experiences with a short-tempered playmate, and one of them was my own brother. One experience I had with him was whenever we play, such as throw pillows, and when he was hit hard even it wasn't my plan, he would hit me even harder, presumably 5x harder than I did. 😅  After that I will just cry because he doesn't want to be defeated by me.

The Driving Session

When I was young I knew how to drive! To play drive under a sewing machine. 🤣 We used to have a sewing machine before my mom left, she loves to make dresses, curtains, and suits using it. But as she walked out of the house the sewing machine was left with us. And I love to drove the wheels under it. Also, the orange chip (I don't know what to call it) I always mistook for crayons. 😄

For you to see, this is how our vintage sewing machine looks like before.

The excuse letter/s

This one's most unforgettable to me because despite my innocent looks before I became a naughty student. I who was a silent and a shy-type student became a bad girl for a week. 😅 During grade three, I was eating my lunch at my cousin's house who lives nearby our school. She was my best friend and my sister too! One afternoon, after we finished our lunch, she tempted me to just skip school and play around. She said we'll keep it a secret. Because we are very close, I agreed with her plan. Until I found myself writing excuse letters every night because I was absent in the afternoon. It happened for one week, I was always absent every afternoon just to play with her. And we keep it from our parents. Then, one morning I was called out by my adviser, and she talked with me about what's happening to me. And she asked me to refrain from absences so she won't call the attention of my dad. After that day, I never tried to be naughty again. Until today, parents didn't know about it. 😅 To the students who are reading this don't be naughty like me, okay!

The earliest spooky pranks

Before technologies invade society, we, the children of the '90s had our so-called pranks too! At home, since I only have my brother with me, I always play pranks on him and so he was to me. And one of my unforgettable pranks made ever was to spook him! One afternoon, I reached home first after school, I hid inside the cabinet, and with me was the remote control of our tv. I didn't turn on the lights so he assumed I was not around. Then the moment he sat on the sofa, I turned on the tv using the remote and I was laughing silently inside the cabinet because of his reaction. He was shocked and was stunned in his seat. Then after a minute, he busted me and ran over to catch me. 🤣

Those I shared above are just some of the silliest things I made before. Though they are old-fashioned styles, I still prefer them over the most hobbies of the young generations of today. I'm just glad the usage of cellphones during those times is not yet vast, I was able to enjoy and take pleasure in such moments.

And while I was writing this, the memories started to roll again. Oh, how fun my childhood was! Though I may not be blessed to experience a complete family before, my childhood was still nostalgic because of those things that only existed during those days and for the activities I did.

Hope this article puts a smile on your face and reminds you of the fun things you did during your childhood, who knows we made the same silly things before. 😅 Now that we are adulting, all we can do is to recollect such rememberings of the past.

Let your childhood memories be saved and kept too, it was the time where innocence and purity takes place in us. Just honest mistakes, funny actions, and little satisfactions made us all happy and they were just genuine! 😊
