Using Cartoon Characters To Recall Our Childhood Experiences
Have you ever associated some TV shows with your routines? Like when a specific show is running, you immediately remember a certain routine from the past? Thanks so much, lovely peeps! ✨❤️ My colleagues and I had this as a topic of our conversation during a meeting. After discussing the agenda, we looked for an icebreaker. Usually, we opt for the 250 icebreaker questions and the wheel of names to pick who's going to answer a certain question but a colleague dropped this question:
We still had an hour so we decided to use the wheel of names to decide who's going to share first. I was quite nervous because I'm the youngest and I'm not sure whether they know the cartoons I'm going to share. One shared **Mr. Bean** - both the animated and the live-action one. When K shared it, I remembered the days when my sister and I used to watch it on Disney and we still watch it even if we already know what will happen next. On the other hand, one colleague shared that her's is the **Totally Spies**! Can you still remember it?

We all laughed because we can relate! I was chosen by the wheel of names. I couldn't think of any but this specific cartoon came to mind.

I explained to them that I remembered watching this bunny who doesn't talk but with a really great routine! I mean, imagine its routine - going t grocery stores, reading books, drinking a cup of tea, very relaxing! Then one of my colleagues commented, it's the **Untalkable Bunny**! After I confirmed, one colleague asked, **Is that even for kids?** HAHAHAHA because I remember, I watched some video clips saying that this show is for adults! LOL Let me find that video and I'll share it with you next time. Another cartoon I mentioned is **Happy Tree Friends**. When I mentioned the title, another colleague commented, ***Color me concerned, C.*** as he can't imagine why these two are the cartoons I mentioned. For him, it's not suitable for kids. HAHAHAHA The others mentioned **Sailor Moon, One Piece, Slam Dunk, Ghost Fighter**, and **Naruto**. We talked about how these animations affected our lives. Those were the days when we don't need internet connection to watch these. How about you, which cartoons or anime gave you fond memories of childhood? Let me know! Thanks for reading~ November 9, 2022

I totally forgot the untalkative bunny! Thanks for this, C, whaha! Oh, well that happy tree friends is a trauma for me as a kid. I thought it was a jolly cartoon turns out to be a morbid scene yikes!
hahahaha I thought it's a cute cartoon too but then ganun pala, I enjoyed it! Yung untalkative bunny talaga, lagi ko nakakalimutan yung title eh
I love Mr. Bean my friend. It's my favorite when I was still a kid. Every morning I watched Mr. Bean then I love Naruto also. 🥰
Hahaha me too sis! Nakabisado na lahat ng episode ng Mr. Bean
Oo sis di ba ang cute tas nakakatawa panoorin ang Mr. Bean sis. 😁
South Park sa MTV dati hahahahaha.
Uy, bet ko rin yang South Park! Hahaha Isa pang pinapanuod ko sa MTV yung Teen Cribs lol
A bit hard... Pero siguro Dragonball. Kasi kinababaliwan yun ng mga cousins ko tapos medyo nacurious kaya nakikinuod na rin sa TV nila para di ako maout of place. Then naging adik na sa anime. Enjoy na enjoy din ako sa Blues Clues nun. Hihi
Nakanuod din ako ng Dragonball noon pero not that much. Yesss! Bet na bet ko rin ang Blues Clues hahaha
Omg! I can't believe I know all of it haha. The most disturbing cartoon I have ever watched is the happy tree friends, but even so, back in the day, my brother and I would secretly watch it because our parents allow us since it contains very malicious scenes. My bean was our favourite. That funny, dumb, old man made out childhood wonderful. Every after school, we will go in front of the tv and watch Mr. bean and we laughed like crazy kids. I miss the old days with my brother.
Same here! I watch these naman with my sister.
To be honest, di talaga ako nakapanood ng cartoons before. Puro sina Mother movies sa abs cbn, if not movie yong series haha. Pero yang Mr. Bean talaga ang the best, malaki na ako nong naka panood ako ng ilang epsiode nyan di naman tapos, lol. Same with tom and jerry puro pahapyaw lang na nood ba.
Awww sayang naman, pero atleast now pwede mo yan ma-access anytime. Nagagalit kami noon ng kapatid ko kapag naglilipat ng channel, haha usually kasi nanunuod din ung parents ko sa abs and gma
Para sakin Adventure Time, Henry Huggle monster and a lot of Tagalog dubbed cartoons sa TV5 pinapanood ko when I was in my elementary. Buo na agad ang araw ko.
Waaah I can feel tuloy that I'm old already lol. I love Adventure time too pero wala pa sila nung bata ako huhu
Ako marami po eh halos karamihan sa nabanggit nyo naging part po talaga ng childhood ko. Simula umaga bago pumasok sa school hanggang sa pag uwi po eh nanonood po kasi ako ng cartoons noon.
Dibaaa, part na talaga sya ng routine natin. Parang we can determine nga the time because of those cartoons.
Totoo po, alam ko na kung anong oras dahil sa mga pinapanood ko eh hahaha.
