When I was 6 and brother 4 and brother 2, when mom and dad where in the yard working we would run and dive over arm ao couch and roll. It was from watching the tumblers at circus. We called ourseves the fying undies. because that was all we had on. Man just one more reason I want to live there. We had to make things up because not many toys and no tv, certainly no video games. When I was there the last time and watch all the neighborhood kids playing kick the flip flop and laughing and having fun, I knew then that I made the right decision.

It was not an easy job, that's for sure. And ultimately, the show reflected values such as discipline, respect and humility. I think though that the Filipinos also fell in love with the drama of it, and the back and forths where else but on the microphone!

I hope you enjoyed the attention from the Filipino Hulkamaniacs. Did you ever wave your hand three times and then put it behind your ear. Ah, you would have girls in their mid to late 20's swooning all over you. :mrgreen: During Jeff's second visit to me in the Philippines, he was called Stone Cold Steve Austin by the guys in my community. I told him I was gonna buy him a shirt with that name on the back, but he didn't want it. :-P Thanks Ron for leaving a comment. May God Bless you and yours, too.

I'd love to hear about how the US was in the 60's specially in the eyes of a Filipino.

Your childhood must have been awesome and very dear to you. And ah, you are my parents' kababayan! I should make them tell me stories of their early childhood. My papa still fixes papaitan every now and then. Your memory is quite impressive and your descriptions took me to those times and places. I am specially jealous of the bukanegan under the moonlight! Thanks Manong for stopping by. I am back to my routine so I should be able to respond to comments more quickly. Please come by often. Manong DomAndres, I am sorry for this very late reply, Manong.

The kids were not feeling well and wanted "Mommy" every minute of the day. Wow that was a unique experience and a great story to tell! I could picture you running and rushing and worrying that you'd be late for school. I like the responsibility given and in the process taught to children at a very young age. About the airplane, I have a classmate who is now in Canada who told me about his dream to ride on a plane someday. You are so right about dreaming big!
