Life and Love: WS: Palosebo

THE AUTHOR

Sympathetic and Caring, putting friends and family first. I prefer routines and have trouble with change.
I love being in groups - whether helping people or working on a project. I am good at listening, laughing, and bringing out the best in people. I am organized, dependable and co-operative. Other people don't get me, they see me as; opinionated, critical, and know-it-all. I hate people who can't be happy with other's success people who loved pretending. Life brought out the best in me and Living made me a stronger individual. I learned a lot from the past and still living with it and trying to make every mistakes be corrected. I am a fighter and a survivor and never will I be a loser!

Palosebo or greased bamboo climbing is a traditional Filipino game for 2 to 10 or more players. This game is usually played by boys during a town fiesta or on special occasions in the provinces of the Philippines. Long and straight bamboo poles are greased and polished to make them smooth and slippery. Before they are set upright, a small bag containing the prize is tied at the end of every pole. It usually contains money or toys. The contestants try to climb the poles to secure the prizes. Sometimes, a small flag is used instead of the actual prize. The actual prize will be given to the winner afterwards. Anyone who fails to reach the top is disqualified. The winner is the one who succeeds in reaching and untying the prize
