"Childhood
is the one story that stands by itself in every soul." Ivan Doig
I grew up in the 90's era. We are the last generation who learned to play in the streets. When you say interactive games, we meant playing in the streets until sunset not spending it in front of computer. We actually sat in the park talking for hours and not sending one liners via text or IM's. I remember playing hide and seek almost every night since brown out is prevalent at FVR's time. We block the streets so we can play patintero, tumbang preso, dodgeball, siato and mataya taya. And sang "Langit, lupa impyerno. Im, im impyerno. Saksak puso tulo ang dugo. Patay, buhay! Umalis ka na d'yan sa pwesto mo." My playmates and I believe that when we draw sun in the streets we can counteract the pouring of the rain. We are the first one who has played videogames using our Super Nintendo and/or Sega.

I have witness and tried to play Mario
with hundred lives. We got addicted to Tamagotchi and brought them every where we go. And oh, who would forget
"POGS" , I remember I used to
play and collect them especially the ones free from coke. My siblings and I exert all our efforts to collect some
coca cola's crown from different sari-sari
store and exchange it to have a set of pogs and slammers.
I grew up in the 90's era where there are no such things as Wattpad or E-book. No Harry Potter and Twilight only Goosebumps, Archie and Sweet Valley. We are the generation of Pokemon, Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles. Renting VHS tapes not DVD's, no Mutya, Santino and Anna Manalastas but we have Mighty Ducks, Dennis the Menace and Kevin McCallister of Home Alone
and we tried to pull the same
pranks on intruders-- other group of kids
trying to invade our playground. Watching
Are you afraid of the Dark? Afterwards, we're all afraid to go up stairs and lie in bed alone. We once dream to be
on Nickelodeon game show Legends of the
Hidden Temple,
and tuned in to Disney Channel to spot the hidden Mickey. We are the pioneers of walkmans.
We don't have Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift
or Jonas Brothers but we have Backstreet
Boys,
Nsync, Hanson and The Moffats which later on we're all arguing who is the best of them all. We tend to call
to different radio stations to request our
favorite song and record it on a cassette.
We didn't have facebook or Twitter but we had slambooks and answered "Who is your Crush?" with "Too many to mention" and ends our dedication with different acronyms like J.A.P.A.N ad B.B.B. We live without mobile phones, no +99 television channels, flat screens, surround sound, mp3, iPods and high tech stuffs like that but nonetheless we had a GREAT TIME.
