5 Things from Our Pinoy Childhood That We’ll Always Love
Most of us turn
to our childhood for the nostalgia of simpler, more carefree times. A simple
mention of a funny or meaningful event from our childhood is enough to get us
reminiscing with family and friends. It instantly takes us back to a totally
different way of life, making us miss the old times.
This is why we
treasure items from the past. Memories and sentimental value make it difficult
for us to part with them. Whether it’s things we used to enjoy as kids, pamana
keepsakes from our parents, or little things we occasionally used to get as
treats, these items from our childhood will always hold a special place in our
hearts.
CDs and cassette tapes
Today, we listen
to our favorite artists with just a few taps on our smartphones. But back in
the day, we still had to go to our favorite music store to grab a cassette tape
or CD of their latest and greatest hits. Then, we would pop them into either a
Walkman or CD player to listen to the tracks. For music lovers and collectors
with a taste for the classics, keeping most, if not all, these music mementos
is a must!
Piko, tumbang preso, and other street games
Before the days
of smartphones and online games, us Pinoy kids had the streets as our
playground. Playtime meant spending an entire afternoon with our friends
outdoors. Who doesn’t remember classic street games like piko, tagu-taguan,
luksong baka, and tumbang preso, or the thrill of running away from the taya in
a round of habulan? We all looked forward to those fun times spent outdoors,
and to this day, many of us still know how to play these games by heart!
Jolen, jackstones, and other classic Pinoy toys
Aside from the
street games mentioned above, many of us also loved collecting, trading, and
playing with simple toys like yo-yos, paper dolls, jolen, jackstones, and teks.
Some of us would even painstakingly make our own tirador and saranggola, with
plenty of help from our parents. One thing is for sure – we’re all guilty of
spending a big portion of our baon to expand our collection of these classic
toys!
Film cameras
Many of us were
also guilty of playing with family cameras as kids. It was always fun
pretending to be photographers, taking snapshots of things we found
interesting. However, with only 24 or 36 shots in a roll of film, we had to
make every shot count! Fortunately, with film photography now getting popular
again, we can still keep shooting with these vintage cameras and relive our
days as budding photographers!
