As I gaze in my galactic future, I expect that in this school year, I would be full of knowledge in my English class and burp soundly with satisfaction with my language professor.

While writing this composition, billions of thoughts stir my bouncy wit. One of the thoughts I have that keeps on tickling my head is that I wish I would have very high grades in English in the present and in the next grading periods. But of course, I must study and listen very well on every bit of blueberry muffin flavored and sweet-smelling brain fries that my teacher would cook for my hungry and wisdom aficionada mind.

I also expect that my English class would not be mind-numbing until the last bite of dawn of the school year. And that it would be filled with agitation to the max that would look like a class with rocking-yahoo of emerald and amber guitars of English language erudition and our teacher like a shimmering rockstar that splashes out the vibrant and rockin’ knowledge.

And lastly, for myself, I would let my body be streamed with toasty sweats of hardwork in studying the English language even though half of the greenish board’s writings can’t be seen especially in my seat’s location ‘coz the sun’s golden flashing rays are attacking it like torpedos and it really makes me lose my temper. And it’s undeniably increasing up to 3,000 degrees centigrade ‘coz I can’t catch up with our lessons and it’s beyond doubt that it makes me like a blazing reddish panther! And nevertheless, I would reach the dazzling stars of my existence no matter how hard to make a grasp on it.

Traditional games or Laro ng Lahi are frolic games generally played by the youngsters, usually using intrinsic materials or instruments.

For hundreds of years, it became a piece of crystalline puzzle in the intangible, one-of-a-kind Philippine heritage. These games serve as the backbone of the kinship and are protected and promoted for further community spirit, bring people unruffled and install a sense of pride in society’s roots. In addition to that, these are also effectual means to convey values of solidarity, diversity, inclusiveness and cultural awareness.

Filipino progenies are very full of vim and vigor. This is sticking out like a sore thumb in the genre of tourney they pit oneself against. You can hear their toasty great gales of laughter as they indulge in any of cultural games. There are forty known Filipino games. To cite a few, the following are some of the Filipino traditional games: Luksong-tinik, Piko, Patintero, Sipa, Palo-sebo and Taguan.

Luksong-tinik or jump over the thorns includes three or more players. Two players serve as the base of the tinik (thorn) by putting their right or left feet together (soles touching gradually building the tinik). A starting point is set by all the players, giving enough runway for the players to achieve a higher jump, so as not to hit the tinik. Players of the other team start jumping over the tinik, followed by the other team members.

Sipa or game of kick The object being used to play the game is also called sipa. It is made of a washer with colorful threads, usually plastic straw, attached to it. The sipa is then thrown upwards for the player toss using his/her foot. The player must not allow the sipa to touch the ground by hitting it several times with his/her foot, and sometimes the part just above the knee. The player must count the number of times he/she was able to kick the sipa. The one with most number of kicks wins the game.

Palo-sebo or greased bamboo pole climbing. This game involves a greased bamboo pole that players attempt to climb. This game is usually played during town fiestas, particularly in the provinces. The objective of the participants is to be the first person to reach the prize—a small bag—located at the top of the bamboo pole. The small bag usually contains money or toys.

Moreover, most of the Philippine traditional games, expressions of indigenous cultures and ways of life contributing to the common identity of humanity, have already disappeared due to the shimmering and prevailing technology which leads to the rapid growth of number of computer aficionados and aficionadas. And if you try to saunter in the lengthy amber streets of the Filipinos, you would see no one playing any sort of the traditional games but you’ll find them in computer cafes instead. And this results the obesity, poor health status and perhaps, customary games’ obliteration.

Therefore, as a result, Filipino tykes should ought to preserve and develop their brilliant emerald conventional games that would definitely bring to its gradual blooming like a crimson floret and eventually shining like a daylight primrose because of its prominence like the other Western games.

2. You Trash Your Old Boss
Even if your old supervisor makes The Office's Michael Scott seem like the smartest person alive, you'll be the one who looks bad if you dis him or your former company. It's kind of like the whole "I'm rubber and you're glue" concept you heard about in grade school. Ninety-five percent of recruiters agree that when you talk smack in an interview, it sticks with you.

3. You Ask About Vacation Days
