If you know what a “palayok” is…imagine a very small version of it… one that can accommodate a cup of cooked rice! “palayok-palayukan” as its called in the province – that was my fave toy! An aunt gifted us with it and we would “cook” the gumamela “stew” – the sticky kind! —yummmm! Of course we never dared taste it, but in our imaginative minds…it had all the ingredients we want it to have! The mini-palayok was made of clay, sometimes reddish brown, sometimes black. It comes with a cover and a stove, all breakable so we were sooo careful with it, it lasted for years. Hmmm…wonder if they still sell those back home????

I remember myself and my cousins spending afternoons catching dragonflies. They are just too many that we have contests in catching the most colorful ones. But unlike other kids who would made them fight and watch them take each other heads off, we would let them go.

Honestly, I don’t remember having a favorite toy. What I remember doing is always acting out filipino drama movies in front of my mom.

Well let’s see. My favorite toy was a Mickey Mouse and Goofy figurines. My sister and I always dreamed of meeting both Mickey and Goofy one day in Disney Land. My father was to take us one day so we got dressed and were filled with smiles from ear to ear. Father gets home with a saddened look on his face and sits us down to tell us that we would be unable to go to Disneyland this time because he was laid off that very same day and he happened to run over our pet dog on the way home. Neither my sister and I blame my dad but we still wish to visit the beautiful theme park one day. =( J/K guys this never happened. Just thought my sob story would make me win the contest.. No hard feelings I hope!! =)

I remember one of my favorite toys “back in the day” was the “etch-a-sketch” toys….oooo…that was soo cool back than. Hahaha!! I remembered when I played with it, I was thinking that I was sooo cool that when you turned the nobs simultaneously that the lines would than go in a curving motion rather than striaght lines. Hahaha! =)

A hose, a couple of two liter bottles of Sprite and some duck tape. Hurray to physics!!

I remember my cousin, Tim and I would duck tape these empty two liter bottles to the end of the hose and turn on the hose full blast until the bottle shot up like a cannon. We would see who could get the most bottles on top of the roof and whose could go the highest. Not a very good idea getting soaked since it’s always cold in Canada and the after effect of running away so as to not get hit by the falling bottle was a bit frightening, but it was fun.
It was especially really funny when my parents would be outside and all of a sudden you could here the slap of the plastic bottles hitting the ground and a “Zeusmarioset!!” (not sure how to spell it but you know what i’m talking about haha)
