something i remembered

it's funny how, when you're young, you think that some things are more important and you find things you can't live without. only realizing when you're older that it was so trivial and there are far more important things to think of.

i just remembered, out of the blue, that i cried over this board game:


yes, i was a big fan of sweet valley high books way way back then. and when i saw this board game, i fell in love with it. not even seeing the contents, just the box made me want to ask my dad to buy it for me. of course, he wouldn't let me since it cost something like P800 which was a big amount sometime 1988. so i cried for days, until he finally bought it for me.

funny thing is, i never got to play with it. i opened it, checked out the contents and never really played with it. well first, it was for 2 or more players. second, my brothers never wanted to play with a girl board game so it was left stuck in a closet somewhere. now, looking back at my 11 year old self, i smile and think "what was i thinking?!"
