Childhood memories

17 08 2009

Let’s practice our English?

What about childhood memories? Do you remember what it was like to be a child?

I’ve got some very special memories to share! Check out some of my pictures:

Digitalizar0003

Here is my very first bike! Look how happy I was!

Digitalizar0002

I loved going to amusement parks ! This picture was taken in Shangai, Penha/RJ. The merry-go-round was my favorite ride!!

jogos

With a lot of free time on my hands (oh, how I miss this!), I used to play a lot of games with my friends. Here are some of my favorites!

Digitalizar0005

Good times! I was very happy!!

video_game

Ah, video games!!! I still love them!!

That was my first video game: CCE Atari. I loved playing “Enduro”, “Pitfall” and of course, “Pacman”.

This used to be the best video game ever… Funny how things change, huh? Today I play my Playstation 2 (wishing I had a PS3!), and I’m sure if I asked any kid today his opinion about Atari, he would laugh at my face…. eheh

Digitalizar0001

Yeah, I used to like Carnaval…. only because I could get dressed up like a bate-bola and scare people… hehehe

I was five and I lived in Vila da Penha (I still do!) in an apartment. It was really fun!

cartoons

Ah… TV ! I used to spend hours in front of it, watching my favorite cartoons! There are so many that I can’t remember all of them! Here are some of my favorite cartoons!

Oh, a lot of good memories!!!

A lot of free time to play, read, draw, run…. I was free as a bird! I sure miss that today!

What about you? Let’s share about childhood memories!
