and I just thought that I should share this as I felt so
refreshed just by looking at it.
Is it me or is life getting to be more complicated as we
age? As our parents/grandparents die off, our kids grow
up and our careers get more challenging, we can't help but
long for the simpler times.
1973. We were 9-10 yrs. old. Grade 3.
I don't remember worrying about anything then.
My baon was P 1.00. I could buy 1 bottle of Choco-Vim
and one burger at the Ateneo GS Cafeteria with that.
May sukli pa enough to buy a bag of Clover chips
or a sticker or a trumpo or some pieces of "teks".
2:30 pm ang dismissal. Sakay sa school bus derecho uwi.
Pagdating sa bahay, kain ng merienda sabay nood ng TV.
"Herculoids" ang palabas...in black and white. On weekends,
pasyal sa Cubao...sa C.O.D. ..afterwhich comes a great treat
at Magnolia Dairy Bar in Aurora Blvd for "Banana Split",
"Peach Melba" or "Ernie and Bert".
Those were nice times, huh?
