There is no doubt that yoyo is one of the most ancient toys there are. Nobody really knows where they are from, although there have been arguments that the first yoyo was made in China, but there is no way to confirm that. Its original use was for hunting and used as a weapon against fierce animals. Over the years the yoyo has been popularized as a toy—in fact, there are people who could “professionally” play it!

It’s amazing how its designed has evolved over the years. Some have lights, and are made out of top quality materials. Professional players have techniques in playing the game, making it appear so complicated—and with yoyo competitions, more and more young people are encouraged to play the game professionally.

Unlike others who have lots of godson and goddaughters, I only have a few and those were

children of close friends. It’s better that way – to have just a few of them – because being one is a great responsibility entails a great responsibility, not just giving gifts during their birthdays and Christmas but being a second parent to those kids. When I first had a godson, I was only in college back then. But since our culture doesn’t observe giving gift for new godparents, I didn’t received any. Actually, it’s only now that I learned there are gifts for new godparents from Shari’s Berries. But if we will turn back the time and should I receive one, I want this white and chocolate mousse. Now I am drooling!
