My Childhood Games

Children nowadays don’t go out to play. They are often seen forming a hole in couches and chairs playing the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PSP or other video games. They are also hooked to their computers and the internet.

I remember when I was little, we never had those fancy video games or a computer. We resorted to playing with whatever we can use. Childhood games of the past require the use of imagination, smarts, and energy.

My favourite plaything was cardboard boxes. I would ask my parents and neighbours if they had any to spare. I would then stay inside the box and play make-believe all day. My favourite make-believe story was the time I pretended I was inside a rocket ship. I would wear a small pail over my head pretending that I was a space helmet. Then, I pretended to manuever my rocket ship to take me to the moon. From my window, I could see the meteors, stars and planets.

I also love playing hopscotch when I was a kid. I like drawing the pattern on our driving way and adding numbers on the boxes using chalk. Hopping up and down the pattern never ceases to make me so happy.

Dave’s Proposal Dinner

Dave is finally proposing to his long time girlfriend, Annie. They have been together for almost ten years. And now, Dave is ready to take the next step.

He is going to surprise Annie with a special dinner that he himself will cook. Dave already has a menu in mind that consists of Annie’s favourite dishes. He is going to prepare a lovely pasta dish and some lobsters that Annie will surely love.

Annie is due to arrive at Dave’s apartment at 7pm and he still has a lot to do. After breakfast, Dave has cleaned his apartment and took out his expensive china and best wine glasses to use for their dinner. Then Dave went out to do some grocery shopping. He needs to buy some wine and the various ingredients he needs for their romantic meal. He also bought some lovely flowers to give to Annie and to decorate his apartment. He double checked the engagement ring that he carried around in his pocket and blew out a sigh.

By 7pm, Dave’s doorbell rang. It was Annie and just in time. Dave just finished preparing their meal. After dinner and over dessert, Dave took out the ring and proposed. Annie cried and answered “Yes!” to David.

Family Vacations

Lewis has never been on any family vacations before. He is six years old and has been living in an orphanage until recently. Lewis has been adopted by a wonderful family. His foster parents are so kind and loving while his foster sister is just perfect.

When his new family asked him about where he wanted to go for the summer, he was stumped. He didn’t know what families do on vacations. Sure, he’d heard stories but he never had any experience. His older sister suggested that maybe he wanted to go to the beach or maybe even go hiking. His parents also thought that he might like to go to a theme park. Lewis felt silent. He wanted to tell them that he had never done any of those things they suggested but he was too shy. Suddenly his mom hugged him and told him to go to sleep. They would just surprise him on where they would go for Lewis’ first family vacation.

A few weeks later, Lewis and his family are in Paris enjoying EuroDisney. It was Lewis’ first time for everything- airplane ride, new country, and visit in a theme park.

That was the very first among the many of Lewis’ family vacations experiences and he would never forget it.
