When I was on break yesterday, a colleague of mine asked me if I had a wonderful childhood and with very quick response I said YES.

Within seconds, most of my nice to great memories of childhood started playing in my head. I decided to write something about it just to feel good. We know that looking back to our childhood is always something that makes us happy unless you had a bad one.

I was privileged enough to experience “Bayanihan” while I watched them (inside the house) carrying our Straw house and moving it from one place to another.

I’ve experienced taking a bath with my fellow kids during water irrigation of our relative’s corn field (Jacuzzi Style! Lol)

First fight! I bit his right leg like crazy and he pulled my hair like crazy too. After that, we head straight to principal’s office. ( I was in grade 2)

Privileged enough to feel the unconditional love of my most important and favorite female in the universe, my beloved Lola (Grand Mother). (Geez! I always miss you)

Consistently, asking for 1 peso from my Nanay (Mother), Ama (Father) and Lola just to buy junk food and toys with that worth. Lol

Sleeping in the afternoon because Nanay said so and just end up pretending to be asleep (Just closed my eyes for 3-4 hours and get up to play again with my childhood friends)

First childhood crush! Diosa. Then came along Aecily, Karen, Mary Grace and rest is history. Lol

During harvest season, my cousin and I sold corn in our neighborhood with a small cart and shouted this… “MAIIIISSS!!!” . After that, used our earnings to buy toys, Tupig and Puto.

First bicycle ride. (Oh boy! It was scary)

Me and my fellow crazy childhood friends used to go to nearby village and pressed every door bells and ran like crazy or sometime in bicycle. (Believe me, it was fun! Laugh trip!)

(I can go on and on but I’m starting to feel nostalgic, teary and awkward so that’s it for me on this list)

Sigh, the good old days. I know there’s a lot more and for obvious reason I cannot write them all here. My sole intention is to feel good and look back at my childhood that I really enjoyed the most or at least funny enough to share.

I really feel sorry for the children who have very strict parents during their childhood and don’t allow them to play outside (I’ve seen some before). Don’t get me wrong, I know parents have different reasons for doing that which I have nothing but respect merely because I don’t really know their reasons why not. But, all I know, let your kids or future kids enjoy the world for how they see it.

So, as I’ve said in my last post, I will share some of the goals that I will try to accomplish this year.

1) Increase my passive income.

2) End the year 2013 with 6 figures in my current portfolio.

3) Learn more about trading and investing.

4) Write a story about something and share it here. Possibly posting it by chapter and post it every end of the month.(I’m just crossing my fingers but I will try…or not)

5) Fully embrace the new position assigned to me and make it as chicken feed as possible.

6) …

That’s it for now! As I always say, enjoy life and make some goals you think really achievable or at least near to that. Lol
