gogol's parents never buy him toys. most of his toys were either given to him or stuffs from the kitchen counters that slowly crept their way into his toy basket. gogol's parents do not patronize toy kingdom and are anti-consumerist.
first off...
The Ball.
This soft, spongy football was given by gogol's "kika" mao's friend myrrh. she loves to think she's gogol's godmother. his mother forgot when this was given to him but it could be during that stage when he was mastering his picking objects skills or maybe his pincer grasp. gogol does not practice picking up skills with this ball anymore. He is so done with it already. This ball is now used for mastering his throwing skills. His parents hope that this ball will inspire him to be a FIFA world cup star by the time he's 18.
Osong Paloy (you wouldn't wanna know what that means. believe me.)
Osong Paloy was a name invented by gogol's tatay when he was told that a write up about gogol's playthings will be made. For header purposes, a name for this gayish bear had to be invented, since most of gogol's toys do not have names. Osong paloy arrived in our apartment sometime in june 2007 from isabela, in northern philippines. it was sent to "kika" mao by a friend. as expected it was turned over to gogol. gogol never played with it until recently, and his parents thought it was too fuzzy for him to play with.
Tarsilo the tartol
Tarsilo was a product of gogol's "kika" mao's christmas party in december of 2007. gogol's mother used tarsilo's neck as bottle propper when gogol was still unable to hold the bottle on his own.Tarsilo used to have a black dot on his plastic eyes. But they were eventually rubbed out. Gogol's parents and his then sitter Manang Inday used to draw the black dot using the permanent marker but the dot would only last for a day. they eventually got tired of it and accepted tarsilo's "blinded" look. Tarsilo the tartol looks like a happy stuffed toy, not considering his gayish color. Gogol loves him.
Spiderman, spiderman
spiderman was a puppet bought by gogol's lola in Davao City. he was not appreciative of it at first, not until his mother used spiderman to sing to him Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at night, after their reading/story telling session on the board book "Squirrel is Hungry" by satoshi kitamura. Now gogol can't live a day without hugging and kissing spiderman. He sometimes even let spiderman sleep beside him. (picture to come)
Kabayoman
Kabayoman was a christmas gift to gogol by his nanay's cousin. before spiderman came to gogol's life, kabayoman was one of his favorite companions. he seems to like kabayoman better that osong paloy perhaps because kabayoman looks so macho, and osong paloy looks so girl. Also, Kabayoman is so flexible he can fit in gogol's small bag now matter how full it is. and he always do things with a big horsey smile on his face.
