Bro, remember that one time in santolan when our parents were out for the night?

When I was in gradeschool, we used to rent in a 2-storey high apartment which has a steep stairs of 20+ steps. Unnie Keng was still a baby then so it was just the three of us.

Probably bored, my brother thought of sliding down the said stairs. Not to be left out with the boys, I was immediately sold with the idea. We gathered a sheet and two fluffy pillows from the bedroom. From the topmost step, we'd put a pillow in the middle of the sheet. Then we'd sit on it and place the other pillow on our back. Finally, we'd gather the corner of the sheets together (or probably someone tied them tightly together). All set looking like a big white marshmallow, we'd ask someone to push us over. Seconds after we'd find ourselves at the bottom of the stairs, laughing hard. Most often, it was a rough bumpy ride, we'd tumble down like a ball. Still, we'd go racing back on top of the stairs, passing the sheet and pillows to the next sibling eagerly waiting for our next turn. It was all fun.

Looking back, we're lucky we didn't break our necks out there. No harm done. Probably we just suffered minor concussion, hence our scrambled brains of today haha.
