Jump 4 Joy

Don't you just miss those good old times when you were just a kid - so carefree and unworried about the problems of the world and just enjoying every minute of your hassle-free life?

Just like these two kids at play who are having the time of their lives in a rural area untouched by modern civilization.





The Carefree







The Suave

  1. The boys looked like they have lots of fun and stressfree. Over here we pampered our children so much and our kids are laden with so much homework. I think kids should go out and have fun. Some parents do not want to lose out and have their kids enrol in many courses that are not necessary. I remembered when my sons were young, they only go for swimming lessons and chinese tutions. And the only time my sons get to play computer was during school holidays. They could play boardgames however. Am I a strict mother? lol

  2. ah yes! i missed the times when the only strict instruction of my lolo is to just let me play, rain or shine, and nobody should dare to contradict this. hehehe!

    meron din akong pic of 3 boys playing. ang cute cute nila! i'll post it in my blog as soon as photoshop and i will become friends. we're not, you know. it is giving me a hard time. LOL!

  3. I do enjoyed those carefree days like these boys are having. Just that those days here it was more like jumping into big canals and catching fishes ;)

    Thanks for your comment at my last blog entry....I did hang in there for friends but it is not fun being the 'punching bag' all the time ;(

    ReplyDelete
  23. we used to go to the rivers too and take a bath. fully-clothed of course!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I do miss the days when I was still a child. I was so carefree and there was nothing to worry but I guess we all have to grow up one day and the memories will be etched forever in our minds.

  32. It looks like fun but being a mother I'd worry that they were going to get hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  33. i remember my childhood days parang ganito rin kasi laking probinsya ako...ang saya ko na pag payagan maligo sa ilog..heh

    ReplyDelete
  34. those kids are truly having fun. sarap maligo sa ilog.

    about your query in the poll and the not so normal votes that your co-nominees are receiving, i believe that they are using proxy servers so that they can have multiple votes for themselves. that is the main reason why they accumulate large votes for just a short time and just few or no votes on majority of the time. in short, they cheat bro kaya dapat mag sour-grape ka. hehehe ;-p

    ReplyDelete
  59. @ salingpusa - nope. naabutan ko lang sila nagswiswimming sa ilog and it reminded me of my childhood kaya kinunan ko sila camera. and nakakatuwa nga noong malaman nila na kinukuhanan ko sila ay lalo sila nagpasikat.

    ReplyDelete
  60. @ dave - hey welcome back again. that's really my point in showing these pics - to really captured the fun of being kids and being carefree.

    ReplyDelete
  61. @ tutubi - i think you can no longer swim in laguna de bay because of the trash there and it is really alarming how some of our rivers and lakes become polluted with the passing years.

    salamat sa vote pero tinambakan na yata ako eh. ma-technique kalaban ko eh lols.

    ReplyDelete
