Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey Gaian pplz and interweb pplz!

Wazzup???

Its been a hellish weekend for me (Cuz its Friggin hot her in The Philippines)
and kinda slow day for me. hich gave me my inspiration for this post.
The name of this story is, "Philippines, My own perspective."

Well It's hard to believe that the world and everyone in it is slowly and
surely coming to a screeching halt, I would like to tell you about my experience
Being a child here in the Philippines.

Now, Every kid plays a lot, am I correct?
But here in the Philippines, Everyone can be a kid!
Every kid here in our province is not called a real Pinoy
If He/She doesn't play our traditional games which has been
passed down from every generation. Like this one.

Name of game: Tago-Tagoan (AKA, Hide and seek)

It's like your pinoy version of hide and seek but with a twist,
You have to sing the phrase:

"Tago-tagoan, maliwanag ang buwan,
wala sa likod wala sa harap,
Pag billang ng sampo(ten) nakatago na kayo!
isa(One), dalawa(Two), Tatlo(three), apat(Four),
Lima(Five), Anim(Six), Pito(Seven), Walo(eight), syam(nine),
Sampo!(Ten)."

And then the one who's "It" yells,

"GAME???"

And some stupid playmate says,

"GAME!"

Which He/she is always the one who gets
caught first.

Here's another game I like,

Spider Hunting, Caring, and fighting. (I havent played this
since 3rd grade.)

Its simple, Hunt for a spider (The strong ones not the ones with
the long legs) care or them (I put them in an old box of matches, which
are commonly used by the other kids.) And fight with other kids spiders!

The rules here are simple,
Rule #1.
Must have a spider.
Rule #2.
Must not cry or beat up the enemy when you lost or your spider
has been eaten by the enemy's spider.
Rule #3.
The battle arena must be held at a piece of sticks, any stick
should do.

And
Rule #4.
The losers must sacrifice their spider to the winner as the lunch of
the winners spider.

The winning conditions are,
#1.
The enemy's spider must be dangling from the stick/battle arena.
#2.
If the players spider does not move in the count of 3, they are
disqualified.
And,
#3.
When the player or enemy's spider is dead the one
who survives is automatically the winner.

Simple eh?
no its harder than you think.

You put so much effort in hunting and caring for that spider just
so it would be lunch to another kid's spider?
rofl

Well thats about it for now!

I need to get some shut eye! see you guyz next time!
