See Thru ni Inday Badiday ang pinaka controversial dito ay yung bitawan na maaanghang salita nila Divina Valencia at Dr. Rey Dela Cruz na dating konsehal sa maynila (RIP).

dahil sa maaanghang na salita ay may salitang ikinapikon ni Divina na ibinato ni Rey kung kaya't nagawang pukpokin ni Divina si Rey ng mic sa ulo nito

Oh Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me (Playmates)


Oh Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me
(Version 1)
Written By: Unknown
Copyright Unknown

Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree

Shout down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

Oh Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me
(Version 2)
Written By: Unknown
Copyright Unknown

Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree

Slide down my rainbow
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more, 1-2-3-4

It was a rainy day,
She couldn't come out and play
With tearful eyes, she breathed a sigh
And I could hear her say:

Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Ain't got no rainbow
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends
Forever more, 1-2-3-4

[woohoo]

We usually played with classmates or neighbors (never with both groups at the same time) these games:

1. Hide-and-seek
2. Japanese (tag, you're it!) - habulan lang ito, labo-labo, kahit sino pwedeng habulin ng nag-iisang taya.
3. Moro-moro (I hate the way other Kapampangans called it) - habulan din, pero may 2 teams with each team having a base. "Babad ka!!!"
4. Tatsing (touching) - minsan tsinelas, minsan tansan, minsan coins.
5. Jolens! - may 4 holes sa lupa, halos eksakto lang na papasok ang holen. You must roll your marble (holen) into each one, papunta at pabalik. Pag hindi pumasok, pwedeng tirahin ng kalaban at pag tinamaan, sa next hole na siya mag-su-shoot.
6. Siyato!
7. Tumbang-Preso
8. Patintero
9. Bending - Carry your tsinelas on one hand, using only the tips of your fingers, while skipping on one leg, and touch it to the other tsinelas at the other end, then go back to the base. I don't remember what you had to do when you drop your tsinelas. There are times you had to bend your body backwards and touch your head on the tsinelas. I think there were also times you had to carry your tsinelas with your teeth (bite onto the "leaf").
10. Piko - maraming klase nito, may "simbahan" pa.
11. Flying paper airplanes
12. Making paper boats and floating them on the flood waters, patagalan ng buhay.
13. Flying kites - aaaarrrggghhh... never did get to build my own "flyable" kite. Never understood that BALANCE was needed. Also never really pursued it.
14. Teks!!!
15. Tansan collecting (we called it "KULUG" -- kusog in Tagalog -- kasi we shook 3 tansans inside the sphere made by shaping our 2 hands into 2 hemispheres.)
16. Jackstones, Chinese Garter -- for the girls
17. Cutter tansans -- ano ba tawag talaga dun? Flatten the tansan, sharpen its edge, make 2 holes by the center, insert a string, spin it, and then pull on the string to make it spin, like a circular saw.
18. Come Christmas season, mauuso na yung mga rayos na dudugtungan ng balahibo ng manok at nilalagyan ng perminante. Iitsa mo pataas, pagbagsak, puputok. Kalaunan, naisipan namin gumamit ng basyo ng bala. Mas maraming laman na powder so mas malakas ang putok.
Mauuso rin ang mga kanyon na kawayan (nilalagyan ng kalburo) at kanyon na gawa sa pinag-dugtong-dugtong na lata ng softdrinks (coke in can, etc... pero mas malakas ang putok pag San Miguel Beer ang latang ginamit sa puwitan )

Yes, skateboards were oval and small. Wala pa ngang roller blades, puro roller skates lang. Remember that TV show ROLLER DERBY? That was the bomb!!!

Teks was a forbidden game, as well as tatsing using coins -- SUGAL daw iyun.

Bawal mag-stay sa daan after the ORASYON sounds (church bells ringing) at 6pm! Lahat uuwi talaga. Walang pasaway sa rule na yun.
