For thanksgiving today, we just had dinner, stayed home together and watched old videos—funny old videos of embarrassment. I was either caught: singing, dancing, imitating a TV show host (with a flashlight as my mic) and worse, prepped up in costumes. We were laughing the whole time as we can’t get enough of it especially since I was also videotaped during my ugly duckling days: short hair; butterfly-ed frontal teeth; eyeglasses; was fragile thin and in my darkest skin ever. I don’t know what my admirers were thinking that time. Mind you, I had some. I wonder how they managed to get me on their crush list. What could possibly be in me then? Ha ha. And how could I ever think I had a chance over my cute mestizo upper batch crushie? Oh god, I miss those days.
It’s amazing how time quickly passes. I miss my childhood days when I still go out of the house, visit my other playmates and play patintero or langit-lupa. I was also considered a hustler in Chinese garter and jump rope then. Proof is, I was always scolded for my filthy socks come afternoon. Also, my playmates and I would even quarrel over roles when we play life like how I wanted to be the mother in our “house” so I could play with the toy kitchen and cook food for the “family”. Really memorable. I actually thought I was super also before when I accidentally choked a toy that is thank God small enough for me to shit out. Now why am I publishing this again? Ha ha.
my progress report.
I also miss high school. Everything to bits. I just saw our graduation video awhile ago and instantly, all the funny memories came back, when everything was simpler than anything else. We were just happy for having everyone around. Intramurals, cheering competitions, battle of the bands, the hallways, lunch breaks, canteen food, CAT, the run for curfews, the after EXAMS celebration, etc. Don’t you wish you were in high school again? Sigh.
Anyway, I guess when a person tries to look back in his life, one could realize how blessed life is. I just realized that today. Everyone is always surrounded by people. Look around, don’t let a thing be overlooked.
5 blabs:
Yes, childhood days. Priceless. Uso pa ang Haw Flakes (eto kwento ko tungkol diyan), Bagets, Chicken Alphabet Soup, RA Homevision, bubbles na gawa sa gumamela, at kung anu-ano pa.
Marami-marami ang nagsasabi na mas mabuti pa rin ang mga bata. Inosente sa mga krisis at kaguluhan ng lipunan. Walang alam kundi tumakbo hanggang hikain.
At siyempre, priceless din ang high school days. Crushie Wushie Plushies, at ang iba't-ibang paraan ng pantitrip sa mga teacher.
Hahay, naalala ko rin ang aking Primary Days.
