Remembring "EYR"

"EYR" twist the letter from "REY", that's how my dad's friends call him. Whenever I encounter each one of his friends; even after his death, they would say, "You look or resemble your papa'. - smiling, laughs out loud, jokes around, and most of all -grabe ang PAKISAMA. I thank my dad from raising us well. Way back when we were a bit aloft during his days as a seafarer, he always tell us "When you're at whoever else's house eat what's on the table with no question". No wonder i don't get sick that easily, - Immunity. c",).

My Childhood Days

As far as i could recall of my childhood, the first picture that came to my mind were my days in San Lorenzo Day Care Center. I started K1 at the early age of three years old(the reason why i took up K2 twice as my mom said). At these times, what bothers you would just be your noisy seat mate boasting of his/her magic pencil case that has a lot of compartments. During school days, we hurriedly ran home to play(marbles, cards, rubberbands, etc.). Do know why we hurry home? It's because we want to utilize every minute of the afternoon. By six O'clock in the evening, every kid needs to be at home as mandated by our parents and especially our "Lola Pening". Weekend comes and we have the whole day to play.

Growing up, like most kids; I had my share of fun and challenges. During the weekends, I enjoy playing "luto2x" with my childhood friends. We had cooking pots made of clay where we cook our food. But not like other kids, we had our playing "luto2x" for real. Why for real? To some kids, the would just put anything in the pot on top of the fire. But to us, we cook real food. I usually cook "Utan Bisaya" with dried fish. So, when we're done cooking most of my playmates would get rice from their house and go back to have a sumptuous fest. That was the fun part, but I had my share of childhood challenges. One was having to pick fights with my childhoods playmates. Having this situation, I had to sometimes avoid those kids which I had fights with. Nevertheless, when we got older things we're settled and we became good friends again.
