It's funny to note that i just spent what, the last 30-45 minutes, watching babar and rupert the bear. i never ever had the chance of watching these cartoons on TV when i was young, and i didn't even know such shows exisited. You see, we never really had cable when i was young and the kiddie cartoons i watched then were limited to those that were dubbed from english or chinises or japanese and were seen on ABS-CBN, ABC5 and IBC13. The cartoons I distinctly remember include "Julio at Julia", "Sarah: Ang Munting Prinsesa" (who could ever forget miss minchin?!), "Heidi" (the girl who eats cheese and milk every single day, and never gets tired of it), "Super Boink" (i loved how the girl transforms into a pig to save the world...every chubby girl's super hero!) and of course, "Time Quest" (takure! takure!). The cartoon we watched back then were very limited and were either shown during the afternoon or at night, the rest of the day we spent on play. Playing is like the best thing a child could ever do, not minding anything and not thinking about anything more than how to beat the opponent or how the game is played (rules and all), i think that's the one thing kids miss these days. They're all so stuck up with computer games and cable that they miss this very important and very fun of being a child. Well, yeah, i know they're playing in their own rights but which part of their bodies are really moving?! Their fingers?! They should have at least half of what we had back then! They're effing missing the fun! Well, it's always nice to go back down memory lane and soak in the memories of childhood, remembering all the things we used to enjoy when we were still kids. Hey! I'm still a kid! YES! I still am! Even if that "child" in me in hidden deep inside of my heart and my mind! (yes! kid at heart and isip bata?!) I will always be a kid. Always and forever. :)
