This might sounds funny but true since I did not grow up in a rich family and no way for me to ask for money to buy toys...these is my favorite toys since I was a kid, with my playmates who happens to be my cousins, neighbors and siblings, "CANDY WRAPPERS and BOTTLE CAPS... you know why???

Thanks to this very interesting contest that reminds me of my childhood life which I treasured the most, I could still remember the reason why I choose candy wrappers and bottle caps as my favorite toys which indeed really true, I woke up early in the morning then to make sure that my playmates will not be able to collect candy wrappers and caps as many as I can collect, this was because in my young mind I want to get a role of a rich charater in our "Bahay bahayan" game later in the afternoon, in this game (Filipinos can relate) We play and pretend with a nice house with different designs, and of course a house will never become a home without a family members..so we will have a mommy, a daddy and children...

So going back to my favorite toys, we use it as our money to buy and sell goods with our playmates, pretending "Candy mint" wrapper as 500pesos, "Snowbear" as 100pesos and "white rabbit" wrapper as 50pesos and caps as 10peso coin, though we recycled a lot of things way back then as our toys, still I valued the most those candy wrappers and bottle caps that I used to play and made my young mind not just the thought of being rich but help me lead to become mature and learn to budget money whe n I got married at the young age of 21...hope you find this interesting...
