life is much simpler when APPLE and BLACKBERRY were just fruits..

Halu anjiel, wew,i remember my younger years,but actually i didn't enjoyed it,becoz when i was a little gurl becoz of poverty,MUM went to the other country to work,i stayed in my grandfather and his adapted child treat me badly,that's why i was trainee house hold works,wash clothes at the river and no time to play.i was happy during school days becoz during break time i can play "shatong","chinese garter",etc,and during that time i said to myself oh it's me, i feel that i was a child playing with my co- children(LOL).and i remember also that we make fun with my friends during lunch break, one will bring salt,the other will bring vinegar,the other knife,the other fruits like mango,tamarind,calamansi/calamondin.then we have to sit down under the mango tree and we enjoying eating while we talking/telling stories of our life hehe but for now,as a mother,i allow my kids to play and play during weekends,i want them to experience their childhood.yes,and i do all my best to guide and support them as my MUM did with us.and sometimes i also play with them specially when they are playing "touch the body"(LOL).it was so fun and we enjoy it.and sometimes we eat also fruits here at our balcony with there playmates. oh so fun when thinking of the past,specially when you are watching your kids enjoying their childhood rights.... thanks GOD BLESS

Yeah so correct.. Haha. I remembered my 4 year old son. a few days ago he was eating this black currant its also like a blackberry. I asked him where on earth did he get that and did he know what was that? He simply answered. my playmate got it from a tree. Its a fruit mom and its free! I remembered exactly when i was a kid what was it like before. We could get fruits for free and its not that hot to play and stroll outside.

Haha. I laughed when I read your topic. It is soo true! I agree. I don't even know how to use a Blackberry. I think people are so much into these gadgets even they don't even need them. I think people who have so many gadgets in their life are just boastful.

Haha, you're right. I can't even remember a time where someone said "Blackberry" and I didn't think of a phone. If someone is actually talking about the berry, we will probably assume they are talking about the phone.. Since it is definitely talked about more than a plain old black berry.

i love your title and it's interesting and attractive,maybe i haven't experienced as much of the changes of life,my life are almost the same and my town have a relatively appropriate envirionment for us to live.but i can obviously feel that the water becomes less and less and so do the birds ,i love rains and snows but these years it becomes very drought and the air pollution are serious...i also played the "tagu-taguan" games when i was young and cherish the memory of riding bike with friends exporing the nearbytown and catching small tadpoles...on the contrary nowdays we are all very busy with our computers and cellphones ...

I don't like current society neither. Science and technology is well developed and breathtaking. But the science and technology doesn't make our life better, evern worse. I was happier 20 years ago even though I should write letters to contact my friends. I didn't have computer, but my life was more colorful. I always think if I can get magic power, I will make the time back. I want a simpler life.

hello panda, Now i know why this BB (blackberry) phones are giving me headache...it's a fruit If only i have known before then i wouldn't mind having my special training with these phones. I was trained for a month for BB troubleshooting but d*mn,most of the times i can't make those phone works (sorry,if i drop your calls hehehe) And just now i realized that BB is a FRUIT How about shatong...have you tried playing with it? You are right,the sun heat is very much bearable and kids enjoy playing under the heat of the sun,running here and there. Wait...it means you are also a baby boomer?...you were born from the year 1940-early 80's (nyahaha..now i know...)

i jus't can't help but to laugh at your title LOL! Yeah, i remember we have a typewriter at home and I remember using that phone you described above.....those days are gone....in my childhood I also played the games you mentioned and to add patintero and chinese garter....we also used to get on our bikes and explore the town or do a bike race....me and my brother had our accidents in the bicycles....whew!!! well the reality is apple and blackberry are not just fruits now....

The good old days, life was so simple and complications are less.
