Vacation Bits 22: Biking with Ate Nicole
July 7, 2012 at 12:44 am | Posted in PLACES I'VE BEEN TO | 17 CommentsTags: Guiguinto Municipal grounds, Poblacion Guiguinto Bulacan, vacation 2012
This is still part of the series about my recent vacation to the Philippines last May 
**********************************
Ate Nicole and I went for some biking along the streets of Poblacion in Guiguinto Bulacan.
She brought me to a small park in front of the Municipal Hall.
According to my Dad, he used to play here as a little boy.
There were lots of grass in this area before, and Dad said he used to play with the other kids here especially on weekends. They would ran around, and play outdoor games such as luksong-tinik, patintero, tumbang-preso, harangang-daga, taguan, putbol, at iba pa.
They didn’t have lots of toys, but they had lots of fun. It must be cool living during those years. My wish is to have more friends like Dad’s who would play and run with me, despite this ‘computer games’ age.

Good for you. Dad must be proud of you for realizing that you need to run and play and not just play computer games. Mix it up!

“Mix it up!” I think that’s the best way to say it! Thanks!

It’s fun to introduce to the kids how simple our life was many years ago. Hopefully he’d appreciate the stark difference of what “fun” was in our times after his brief encounter in your neighborhood.
I think this can still be replicated now

Anyway, I’m glad he enjoyed his visit to the Philippines. In this computer games age, it’s nice to see kiddos having fun the old school way.. ^^

old time games are somewhat forgotten already, my prayer is for these generation to learn to play that games. good that your Dad was able to bring you to his hometown.
