the speed stacks, errr, cups I may say?! LOL!
This thought led me to jot down some of my and my friends' toys during our tender years. Can you guys relate? :D
1. Santan flowers as juice
I want a juice! These small flowers have the sweetest nectar I may say. But be careful though, sometimes ants are your competitors on these tiny blossoms!

2. Papaya stems as bubble straw
Get a laundry soap from your Manang's pile of laundry works, mix it with water, ask your Kuya or Dad to tear out a papaya stem, do away with the leaves...and viola! you got your bubbles! Now go around the neighborhood and spill out those home-made bubbles right into your playmates' faces!

3. Gumamela leaves as cooking oil
Everboday can relate to a bahay-bahayan game, well, at least mostly for the girls! As a doting housewife, you need to have your kitchen fully equipped with basic needs, cooking oil is one.
My friends and I would normally sneak at a neighbor's backyard and pick up those red and lovely flowers with their leaves. Flowers serve as a content in a home-made vase and the leaves are squeezed heavily with its juice mixed in water. Now, we have this colorless, greasy liquid we call "oil". let the frying time begin!!!

4. Alugbati seeds as "toyo"
These herbal medicine and a default vegetable leaves everytime my Mom cooks an all-vegetable viand called "las-wa" has cute seeds sprouting everywhere in its stems. They are violet colored seeds perfect in creating a dark liquid seasoning known as "toyo".
These grows everywhere and so my friends and I do not find it hard to harvest them!

5. Cigarette pack wrappers as money
How can you bet or buy things if you don't have money? So here goes these cigarette packs which we designate as our money. The higher the price of the cigarette, the higher its pack's value!

this is a LOL moment by the way! good job!
6. Aratilis as apple
We call these tiny circles as apples, not cherries! It is usually the task of the boys to climb up the tree and pick these sweet fruits. The girls, on the other hand, would sport on with a "panungkit", a long bamboo stick with a tin can (usually that of Alaska condensed milk) at the tip that serves as the "catcher" of the fruits.
