TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1950's, 60's and 70's !!
First,
some of them survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. ( sioktong ang inumin)
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, fish from a can ( brand : ligo ) , and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, their baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints , pati na yung laruang kabayu-kabayuhan.
They had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads , sometimes wala ngang preno yung bisikleta.
As children, they would ride in car with no seat belts or air bags – hanggang ngayon naman, di ba ? ( jeep, bus, tricycle and pedicabs )
Riding at the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. ( may kaya kayo pare ! )
They drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle ( minsan straight from the faucet)
They shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. Or contacted hepatitis.
They ate rice with tinunaw na purico ( dahil ubos na ang star margarine) , nutribuns na galing kay macoy and drank sopdrinks with sugar in it, but they weren't overweight kasi nga ..... .
THEY WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
They would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as they were back when the streetlights came on. Sarap mag patintero, tumbang preso , habulan taguan….
No one was able to reach them all day ( di uso ang celfon , walang beepers ). And they were O.K.
They would spend hours building our trolleys or slides out of scraps and then ride down the street , only to find out they forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, they learned to solve the problem .
They did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms....... ...THEY HAD FRIENDS and they went outside and found them!
They fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents . The only rubbing they get is from their friends with the words…..masakit ba ? pero pag galit yung kalaro mo.....ang sasabihin sa iyo…..beh buti nga !
They play in the dirt , wash their hands a little and ate with their bare hands…they were not afraid of getting worms in their stomachs.
They have to live with homemade guns – gawa sa kahoy, tinali ng rubberband , sumpit , tirador at kung ano ano pa na puedeng makasakit…..pero walang nagrereklamo.
Made up games with sticks ( syatong )and cans ( tumbang preso ) and although they were told it would happen, wala naman silang binulag o napatay….paminsan minsan may nabubukulan.
They rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Walang sumasama ang loob.
Ang magulang ay nandoon lang para tignan kung ayos lang ang bata….hindi para makialam.
This generation of them has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and managers ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation! and new ideas.
They had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and they learned..... ..
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
And IF YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the government regulated our lives for our own good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
ok lang ba kaibigan?
Pakishare nga ito sa mga tunay mo na kaibigan para makaalaala pa.
