Tagalog Translation (by ChatGPT):

Dati, dumadaan lang kami sa dating daan papunta sa paaralan at pabalik sa bahay mula eskwela—kami, ang mga kabataan ng aming henerasyon. Mag-isa lang kaming gumagawa ng aming mga takdang-aralin, at madali naming tinatapos ang aming mga asignatura dahil gusto na naming maglaro sa kalsada. Halos lahat ng aming libreng oras ay nauubos sa paglalaro sa lansangan kasama ang aming mga kaibigan, hanggang sa mapuno ng pawis at dumi ang aming mga damit.

Nakakapaglaro kami noon ng tagu-taguan sa madidilim na sulok; kami mismo ang gumagawa ng aming mga trompo at minsan ay humuhulma ng putik para gawing kakaibang cake. Nangongolekta rin kami noon ng mga basyo ng bote ng soft drinks, nililinis namin ang mga ito at isinauli sa tindahan sa kanto para matubos ang deposito na limang sentimos. Kapag naipon na, bibili kami ng isang soft drink at Choc Nut para hati-hatiin sa aming mga nakababatang kapatid.

Nangongolekta rin kami ng sports cards noon, at kung minsan, gumagawa kami ng laruang trak mula sa karton at lata, pati na rin ng laruan mula sa takip ng gamot na iniipit sa tabi ng bangketa. Nakakapagtugtog rin kami sa aming quadrosónic stereo ng mga vinyl album. Ang dami naming litrato at alaala na naipon sa aming album at scrapbook, na puno ng masasayang karanasan.

Naglalaro rin kami ng dama at chess sa gymnasium hanggang sa abutin kami ng pagod. Tuwing gabi, pinapatay ng aming mga magulang ang TV matapos ang National Anthem para matulog na kami. Lagi silang nariyan upang gabayang kami sa tamang landas ng buhay. Totoo, nagtatawanan kami nang mahina sa ilalim ng kumot para hindi marinig nina Tatay at Nanay at para hindi kami pagalitan dahil gising pa.

Ito ang aming henerasyon—sayang, hindi ko na maibabalik ang lahat ng ito. Para sa akin, ito ang pinakamatamis at pinakamakukulay na panahon ng aming buhay.

English Translation by ChatGPT:

Before, we would take the same old path to school and back home—we, the children of our generation. We would do our homework on our own, and we would quickly finish our assignments because we were eager to play outside in the streets. Almost all of our free time was spent playing with friends in the neighborhood, until our clothes were soaked in sweat and covered in dirt.

We used to play hide and seek in dark corners; we made our own spinning tops and sometimes molded mud cakes for fun. We would collect empty soft drink bottles, clean them, and return them to the store at the corner to redeem the five-centavo deposit. Once we had enough, we would buy a bottle of soft drink and a Choc Nut to share with our younger siblings.

We also collected sports cards back then, and sometimes, we would create our own toys out of cardboard—trucks made of tin cans for wheels and medicine bottle caps flattened on the pavement. We would listen to vinyl records on our quadrosónic stereo. We had so many photos and memories stored in our albums and scrapbooks, capturing our childhood adventures.

We also played checkers and chess at the gymnasium until we were completely exhausted. At night, our parents would turn off the TV right after the National Anthem, signaling that it was time for bed. They were always there to guide us on the right path in life. I still remember how we would giggle under the blankets, whispering so that Tatay and Nanay wouldn’t hear us and scold us for staying up late.

This was our generation—how I wish I could relive these moments. For me, those were the sweetest and most unforgettable times of our lives.
