Steeming Community Contest: Reliving Our Childhood || Childhood Memories With Cartoons

I just couldn't imagine while bringing back memories of my childhood days for watching cartoons like these. But take note, I sometimes watch it 'til now if I do have spare times.

Greetings to all Steemingzen especially @advhl, thank you for initiating this contest. It's me, @hae-ra from Cebu, Philippines. I am so grateful to partake this, it's just so fun to relive our childhood memories. Actually, I also watched a lot of cartoons before, but these are my top 3 favorite anime cartoons way back in time.

Pokemon

Pokemon is a series of video games which is derived from the word Pocket Monster.

It is a TV series originated in Japan and was released with different story lines and characters. I remember watching it during saturdays or sundays I guess, because I able to watched it when there was no classes, when it was aired on GMA channel.

This story is more on adventure which talks about travelling through the various regions of the Pokémon world and competing in various Pokémon-battling tournaments which is known as the Pokémon League.

What I like the most in this movie is Pikachu. I really won't forget the voice of Pikachu, it's like Pika! Pika! Pikachuuu!

Naruto

Talking about Naruto, it is also a Japanese manga series which is written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto.

While Pokemon is more on travelling, this series also talks about the story of Naruto Uzumaki a young ninja who seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the Hokage, to become the leader of his village. I watched it during every night, when it was aired on ABS-CBN channel here in the Philippines.

The most intense part of this is when Goku say Kamehameha to use his first energy attack, which I also like the most the fact that we also used it when we cheered while watching it.

Dragon Ball Z

Here comes again another series that talks about the adventures of Goku, along with the Z Warriors, defends the Earth against evil. The story with it's actions and adventures are more entertaining and reinforce the concept of good versus evil.

Compare to the two series, they may have many things in common like the lessons, the teamwork and others, but Dragon Ball Z teaches valuable character virtues such as having teamwork, loyalty, and trustworthiness and most of all, valuing and fighting for good deeds. I also able to watched this during night time, that was aired on GMA channel here in the Philippines. I also like the most intense part here when it's time to fight the devil for good.

I like watching these cartoons until now because it is fun and can relieve stress. Aside from that, a lot of lessons that I have learned, where in fact that these lessons are even applicable in our daily life.

• Training. For as we know that if we do keep on training whatever it maybe, we could able to enhance our knowledge and skills in everything that we do.

• Never Think to Give Up. Whatever happens in our life, let's face all the struggles along with it. And at the end of the day, we can get through with it, just never give up.

• Keep Aiming for the Top. There's this saying that try and try until you succeed. So it means that never settle for less. Because if you dream of something big then just go for the gold until you can make on top of it.

• Cheater is Always a Loser. Don't always make shortcuts in everything that you do because it can lead you to failures, and if you fail, because of cheating, then you're a loser in the end.

• Friendship. It doesn't mean that you can just be friend with anybody, but you also have to get to know each other first. And through these friendships, it can lead to have a stronger bond along the journey. It is also important to have friends in our life, because they are the ones we could rely on sometimes other than family.

• To Lose Is To Win. If you lose at times, it doesn't mean that you're already a loser, but to lose is also a chance for you to analyze and find out the mistakes so that, by next time, you able to do the best moves to winning.

• Learning On The Field. In order to learn the most out of it, you have to experience all the challenges by hand. In life, we can not learn on something by just looking and reading the book, but rather we have to do it on our own to see the outcome for it.

• Teamwork. For example in our work, or being an employee, to achieve goals in everything that we do, it is better to work as a team with cooperation and exact communication with everyone, rather than having our own decisions. We have to be open-minded to our team.

• People Just Come and Go. Sometimes, we met people by chance, either a blessing or a lesson. But sometimes, it is also heartbreaking that you have to let them go for the good of both of you. We may not want to say goodbye but sometimes we have to.

Upon watching these cartoons, and with the lessons behind it, it also comes to the realization that life must go on whatever it takes. We have to be determined to face all the struggles and challenges in life to be able to achieve our goals.
