Those are the days.

 Noon, during elementary days...pag walang klase maliligo sa pantalan. Pag umuulan, maliligo sa ulan๐Ÿ˜pag bagyo namumulot ng laglag na niyog at buko๐Ÿ˜ Pobre pero masaya. During those times, everyone in our neighborhood treated each other like family. Mayaman na pag may Refrigerator, black & white TV na de ikot ang paglilipat channel at may pono na de plaka... Sa kapitbahay hihingi pa ng apoy dahil naubusan ng posporo, magdadala lang ng bunot.. Ang kasiyahan sa mga matatanda ay makinig ng drama sa radyo. Ibinibilad sa init ang baterya para magcharge; para lumakas ang tunog ng radio ๐Ÿ“ป❤️ .

Lahat ng magkakapitbahay ang tawagan ay Auntie/ate/nanay/mader/tita/tiya/tiyo/tay,mano at mana even if they were not related talaga. We went out somewhere kakain ng bayabas, balimbing (pag walang bunga, talbos na lang ng bayabas๐Ÿคช, caimito, makopa at ibapa (). Pag uuwi ang damit puno ng amorsiko. We're happy roaming around our neighbor's yard, ๐Ÿ˜‚ mamumulaklak ng mangga at santol then hihingi pa ng asin sa kapitbahay. We got dirty till the sun set (minsan makukurot pa kasi madungis na). Pag the sky is orange ๐ŸŒ… (basta orange ang langit uulan bukas).

We didn't eat fast food ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ” kasi wala pa, d pa uso ang McDonald's, Mang Inasal at Jollibee . We ate home cooked meals; ginisang kangkong, pako, papaya , ginataang langka, inihaw na isda, tinolang isda, nilupak na saging. Kontento na sa home made ice candy at ibebenta tig .50cents๐Ÿค—. Makakapaglaro lang pag tapos na lahat ng trabaho -sungka, tubig-tubig, unggoy unggoy sa baraha, step in-step out, tumba lata, jackstones, sipaktakraw, patintero ๐Ÿƒ, luksong tinik, jolen, tansan, taguan, syato, dampa, bahay-bahayan๐Ÿ  , Chinese garter, baraha pares-pares, saranggola, pitik-bulag.

There was no bottled water ๐Ÿถ, iigib ng tubig ilalagay sa banga para malamig ang iinumin kung galing sa banga . Pinupuno ang drum para panligo at panlaba .We would share the same bottle of royal, coke or mirinda , pepsi after giving it a wipe with our dirty hands or sleeves. Mangangapitbahay๐Ÿก๐Ÿก๐Ÿก para makanood ng TV๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“บ hahahaha! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸคฃAng saya-saya kasi magkakasundo ang mga tao lalo na kaming mga bata, uupo sahig...ang saya-saya sa panonood sa black n white TV hahaha ๐Ÿ˜‚ . Hula² pa sa commercial at makakapitik sa tenga at kamay ang makakahula...haha๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

There was no such thing as a mobile phone or any other electronic devices ๐Ÿ“ต. We weren't AFRAID OF ANYTHING. If someone had a fight, that's what it was magsuntukan lang...kids didn't have guns ๐Ÿ”ซ or knives ๐Ÿ”ช and not worried that someone would post something nasty about us for the whole world to see.

The sun was our curfew. If 6pm na madilim na we would run home as soon as we could kasi pag matigas ang ulo, at magbibingi-bingihan yari ka dahil may sinturon or sanga ng bayabas panghampas๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿก. School is life... ๐Ÿซ it was mandatory✏️ ๐Ÿ“’Bahala walang baon basta skwela. Mamamalo pa si teacher pag may kasalanan ka or mababa score sa quizzes pero disiplina lang. We watch our mouths around our elders ๐Ÿ‘ด ๐Ÿ‘ต because we knew we would get reprimanded if we were disrespectful in any way. (katakot mapalo, makurot!)

Ito ang mga bagay at mga pangyayari na wala na ngayon.๐Ÿ’ฏ

Mga alaala na lang at mga throwback.⏪๐Ÿ”™.

Best Experience Ever.. Pero may Forever din pala...

MEMORIES..๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘✔✔
