No I was with The Builder, that's the school paper of Mapua where I went to college.  That's also how I got involved with the CEGP.  Before that I was also with The Little Bedan in GS.  And HS, well, nada because I was a basketcase in HS. Hehehe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Most of us were were shooting stars in grade school..but then came HIGH SCHOOL...wala na. You had to be (surely I was) borderline basketcase in order to get through puberty, adolescence and High School...much like now..through Midlife.

I was close to SBC HS batch 1978 and know some from '76 and and '77, '79 and '80 . I suppose that you belong to a late / early 80 batch as well. SBC HS grads who were my contemporaries in UP were the most down-to-earth dudes during my time. Your HS fairs in the late 70's were must-go affairs for my girl friends.

THe BEDAN as in the school's periodical...?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, SBC's version of the Collegian. They also have this literary thing called SPIRES.

because of our CEGP links.

Hi Magaling. Where you with the BEDAN? What year and which publication ?

Mukhang world is getting smaller.

I lost interest when the equipment overtook the bowler to score well. Even the mediocre ones can score 180+ games. 

 

I hope they will do something about it. Make it hard to score high para makita talaga kung sinong magaling.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Technology-enhanced skills ... not onyl are the athletes on "STEROIDS" now, pati sports equipment !!!! (In all types) - I still feel the 70's-80's athletes are far better SKILL talaga....ngayon nga may Sports psychologists, etc. dati naman healthy competition lang and the desire to win. Times have really changed.

Marami pala tayong Peyups dito. Yeah I also remember Irene and Imee sa UP. Magkaibang dating and aura nila. Parang hindi magkapatid. I had a chance to be kissed (sa cheeks) by the sisters when I won in a bowling tournament sponsored by Kabataang Barangay. I took home a Sharp B&W TV and a medal.

 

Pareng sliderule. Are you also a Psych Major?

Now that you mentioned BOWLING, Ten-pin was the "Badminton" of the late 70's to early 80's HS / college students. From school we used to go the Celebrity to play Bowling (ang talunan nag pa-PACMAN nalang). One game then used to cost 3.50 - ang budget ko lang for 2 games e our rotation was whoeven loses pays. Minasan hanggang 1 game lang ako, but most of the time I play 3-4 na libre. Kasi naman in a group of women na maka score ka ng 120 up, magaling ka na noon.

Storm, our common friend Bong C from Malabon was into Bowling too at that time, the best in our group. (though badminton na siya - as always sunod sa uso). Bowling would be a nice group activity to revive sa age group natin. My nephew CJ SUAREZ (World bowling champ in 2003 and current SEA gold medalist) had his auspicious start doing bumper bowling when his parents joined bowling nights with their friends.

99+

Passed the UPCAT, ACET, DLSUCET and Maryknoll/Miriam College Admission Test.

Above average lang ako. NEVER ako naging honor....PERO

I graduated from University of the Philippines-Diliman with a BA degree in Communication as SUMMA...

as in SUMMAma sa barkada :evil:

Teka... nagiging fighting maroons thread na yata ito. Sorry...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You are right Slide..so we beg the indulgence of the other members of this thread. :*

By the way..during our time we had the DIAMOND JUBILEE celebration 1983..... ang dami kong souvenirs one of which is a table top 12 inch oblation. Lapit na ng CENTENNIAL ng UP in 2008.

UP DILIMAN in the LATE 70's had ...

IRENE MARCOS

JO RAMOS

KATRINA PONCE ENRILE (among the famous shildren of Govt. officials then))

They were very different personalities. Some better than the other(s). But for trivia.....

Katrina had the most number of gay / fag groupies....Jo had the most number of boys hanging around her, while of course, Irene had the most number of bodygaurds.

But my personal favorite (despite her father being the Supreme Court Justice then - so No. 4 MAN) was MELISANDE CASTRO, daughter Justice Fred Ruiz Castro. Always prim and proper, elegant and low key.

LOREN LEGARDA then, was just...well...LOREN.

Sa Psych 101 class ko classmate namin si Irene Marcos. Wala rin nangyari (hehehe siempre naman no...!) We had a very memorable class get together sa Malacanang Palace. She showed us the music room with all sorts of instruments, may synthesizer pa. Out in the field, whatever we wanted to do - presto - the PSG would magically produce. We toured the palace and we were so awestruck at how grand it was.

 

I had the good fortune of having Anton Juan as our Speech prof. Interesting class! Si Prof Waite anong class nga ba sya?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey D, come to think of it, BAKA naging classmate kita kay Anton Juan. Had him for speech too. I can't forget the topic for my extempo (this was when you had to randomly pick from a fishbowl) - What the OBLATION meant to me ???!!! Ngek! How I managed, I do not know. Basta a got a 1.5 for that subject. Miracle.

Si Irene Marcos was my classmate sa Humanities naman under THE Prof. Alice Guillermo. She brought to class one of the 1500's Spanish Era STAMPITAS (the real thing); and a small genuine 300 year old AETA carved vase, (actually am URN.). Beautiful

She attended our study group (in our classmates house in Philam) for our project bringing with her a basketful of GREG's HAMBURGER (bitbit ng PSG). She was so down to earth you forget that she is a Marcos. She actually did her part of typing and pasting our cut-outs. Yung 3rd Back-up vehicle niya, ginawa naming schoolbus (she insisted that we be brought home) imagine, taking 6 people to their homes with wang-wangs a-blazing!!!

Si Prof Waite, if I remember taught a course in History ba? or Filipino ? I did not have him as a teacher.

Welcome back nga pala. Chilly diba??

My favorite caption shirt says - IN MY WORLD YOU DON't EXIST.

Dang Cecilio came from STC Manila batch 78. In 1978, I was supposed to date her sa isang ball pero hindi natuloy. I never thought that she was so pretty because her name then was Endang Cecilio and it was a girl (who eventually became my girlfriend for a month) who was setting up the "blind date" (well kapag girl kasi ang nagbigay ng date, hindi ako umaasang maganda). When I met Endang in UP, gf ko naman noon yung classmate niya. Then, nanalo pa siyang Bb. Pilipinas.

 

Noong 70s, I dated once sa MassComm Ball si Loren Legarda. Walang nangyari

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Si STORM - eligible bachelor, most sought after dance/swing partner ng mga UP coeds noon (at di lang basta coed). Nasa top of mind recall siya at collective consciousness ng mga girlies at that time na iilan lang na lalaki ang marunong sumayaw (bakit nga ba in the late 70's/80's?? ).

Sa susunod na election, for sure hahanapin ka ni Loren (for your choreo-d swing number).

WOW augustmoon, you came up with that? Are you a shrink or something?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No I am not a shrink Just somebody who has been there, and have done that.

Actually, I came across a post that contained that list (from another forum) way back in 2002 and I have been sharing it to friends.

POINTS TO PONDER.....

Share ko lang.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!!!!!!!

The ten types of relationship that won't work:

1. You care about your partner more than he does about you.

2. Your partner cares more about you than you do about him.

3. You are in love with your partner's potential.

4. You are on a rescue mission.

5. You look up to your partner as a role model.

6. You are infatuated with your partner for external reasons.

7. You have partial compatibility.

8. You choose a partner in order to be rebellious.

9. You choose a partner as a reaction to your previous partner.

10. Your partner is unavailable.

The six BIGGEST mistakes we make in the beginning of a relationship:

1. We don't ask enough questions.

2. We ignore warning signs of potential problems.

3. We make premature compromises.

4. We give in to Lust Blindness.

5. We give in to material seduction.

6. We put Commitment Before Compatibility.

Seven Wrong Reasons to be in a Relationship:

1. Pressure(age, family, friends, etc.)

2. Loneliness and desperation

3. Sexual hunger

4. Distraction from your own life

5. To avoid growing up

6. Guilt

7. To fill up your emotional or spiritual emptiness.

The Lust into Love Formula

1. First, you feel powerful sexual chemistry with someone or, in raw

terms, lust.

2. Next, you act on those urges and have sex with that person.

3. Then you experience some guilt or discomfort having been so sexually

intimate with someone you aren't that emotionally connected with.

4. Finally you create a relationship with that person to legitimize your lust.

Five Realities about Love

1. Love is not enough to make a relationship work - it needs compatibility and it needs commitment.

2. It just takes a moment to experience infatuation, but true love takes time.

3. It is possible to experience true love with more than one person - there are many potential partners you could be happy with.

4. The right partner will fulfill many of your needs but not all of them.

5. Good sex has nothing to do with true love, but making love does.

Five Deadly Myths about Love

1. True love conquers all.

2. When it's really true love, you will know it the moment you meet the other person.

3. There is only one true love in the world who is right for you.

4. The perfect partner will fulfill you completely in every way.

5. When you experience powerful sexual chemistry with someone, it must

be love.

Fatal flaws to watch out for in a partner:

1. Addictions.

2. Anger.

3. Victim consciousness.

4. Control freak

5. Sexual Dysfunction.

6. Hasn't grown up.

7. Emotionally unavailable.

8. Hasn't recovered from past relationships.

9. Emotional damage from childhood.

Here are seven compatibility time bombs that can destroy a relationship:

1. Significant age difference.

2. Different religious background.

3. Different social, ethnic, or educational background.

4. Toxic in-laws.

5. Toxic ex-spouse.

6. Toxic Stepchildren.

7. Long-distance relationships.

Six qualities to look for in a mate:

1. Commitment to personal growth.

2. Emotional openness

3. Integrity

4. Maturity and responsibility

5. High self-esteem.

6. Positive Attitude towards life

"TRUE LOVE cannot be found where it does not truly exist, nor cannot be hidden where it truly does."

since it just 2 days till xmas.........

memories of xmas in the 70's - watching ICECAPADES in Araneta Coliseum. Then an ice cream treat at nearby DAIRY QUEEN OUTLET - Dilly bar - beside New Frontier theater.

watching the COD display then Eating Pancit LugLug at NENA''s Bibingkahan beside COD.

This ia a post I came across in PEX (Pinoy Exchange) written by a certain GARYGAMO in a similar forum that talks about coveting one's wife / husband. I just want to share it with you..

To be forewarned is to be forearmed...........

share ko lang, yung dad nung friend ko back in college, he found out yung wife nya (my friend's mom) was having an affair with his friend, pero he did not show it...tahimik lang sya...mga 1 month later... the evening before my friend's debut party, nagiinuman pa yung dad nya, his friends andun pati yung kalaguyo nung mom nya...ok ok lang ang kwentuhan...sabay nagpaalam yung dad nya sa grupo, sila na raw mag linis ng kalat, baka di na raw sya bumalik....

about 30 minutes pa lang, may narinig sila putok ng baril...ayun, nagpakamatay pala yung dad nung friend ko on the eve of her bday...nag iwan pa ng letter....yung mom nung friend ko muntik na madala sa mental, yung friend ko nasira ang pag aaral...yung younger brothers nya sa lola na tumira...wala as in nasira pamilya nya.....yun lang....nakakahinayang yung family nila...dean's lister pa naman yung friend ko na yun, kopyahan ko sa notes, yung mother nung friend ko was only in her late 30's, sa bank nagtatrabaho, yung father nya engineer sa isang oil company

Ang mga hairdo ng mga Sa Girls in the 70's madami din pero apat lang ang natatandaan ko lang ay :

China Chop - straight cut one length na parang ni-ruler ang bangs (parang NANCY or the Marie Osmond version)

Apple Cut - May bangs pero pa-oval ang cut - ang variation nito ay may FLIPS all around

Lioness - Long Hair na layered na pa-buntot sa dulo

Shaggy - Shorter version ng lioness (parang Jane Fonda)

........of course the generic long straight hair (much like now) is the hairstyle of choice then.

Di pa uso noon ang hairdye. Dati people deny coloring their hair kasi indication na matanda na sila and they do it to cover the grey hair. If they colored it lighter, they claimed it to be natural(ly) brown, Ngayon, pagka hindi chemically colored ang hair mo hindi ka IN.

Ang lalaking nananakit ng babae..

 

ay hindi tunay na lalaki. Bakla iyan.

 

Ang tunay na lalaki, hindi nananakit ng sinumang alam niya na mas malakas siya. Maging matanda man, bata o babae.

Walang justification, walang excuses, walang grey area. Black and white iyan.

 

Kung babae ka, at palagi kang sinasaktan ng significant other mo, IWAN mo na iyan.

 

Madaling mag-escalate ang sakitan sa patayan. Konting lakas lang ng suntok, baka mapatay ka niyan.

 

At isipin mo kung magkaroon kayo ng anak.

 

Ano ang magpipigil sa kanya para di saktan ang anak niyo gaya ng ginagawa sa iyo?

 

Ilang beses ko nang nakita ito. Ilang pasa muna ang nakita ko bago nagising sa katotohanan ang babae't iniwan ang asawa.

 

Buti siya nakawala, e ikaw?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Following the logic, SMITH must be a faggot !!! :evil:

I cant understand why MEN can hurt (physical, mental etc) their Wives/Women THEN profess to love them ???!!!!! SIC SIC SICKO. Absolutely...Yes, SMITH, you too.

My best friend said that (IF she does get herself into an affair)...She is not afraid to get caught...what she is afraid about is that she might not stop. Sa akin naman, I will not indulge in anything I MIGHT enjoy.

Nothing stays a secret. Curious lang? Meron ba talagang affair na nag-umpisa..at..natapos na secret pa rin?? Somehow may makakaalam din niyan.

Augustmoon

 

Can you recall what made you aware from then

e.g. new job, new place, new friends, ....

* hopefully men get to understand women if these are answered

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was busy with work. When I opted to become a fulltime mom, I had more time for myself. It wasnt really NEW of anything..it was actually coming BACK to what you were before (back to single state of mind? maybe?) I started seeing OLD friends from way back ..What started it for me was when I took on a physical regiment of exercise I started to lose weight. This gave me a positive image my myself.

ms augustmoon is definitely a HOT MOMMA… and I would like to correct the statement of ms. augustmoon….its not 4 proposals but 5 proposals including myself… honestly she’s so DISERABLE and oozing with sex appeal… I remember the first time I met her…na torpe ako… I cant speak straight….maybe its love at first sight... :heart:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know your a a gun afficionado and a awarded Marksman so is guess your vision is 20-20...

I also know you are a ranking career government official,, hindi ka politico, so hindi ka naman siguro sinungaling.....plus the FACT that you are a known ladies man ( by rep and rap lang naman) so i guess, there must be some SLIGHT truth to what you said. Anyway, I and thanks for the compliment, its like getting an instant Botox lift...

Yes, I remember, You could barely speak straight, much like now, you get your letters jumbled. Anyway, thanls for the delicious goodies you have been giving my family - (you forgot to mention the fruits and crabs)..My hubby enjoyed it, and so did I. So whatever we have in terms of a friendship, hindi na siya SECRET affair (para hindi ma-OT)...what you are to me is the (BIGGEST) kept SECRET Supplier of the best goodies that span all the way to Ilocos, down to Davao.

So before may mag react, If I were to have a SECRET AFFAIR, most definitely, no one will know about it (e di hindi na siya secret) .. corny..just a way to water it down

I know the person behind the nick, formerly known as licknpokeme. :evil:

this is very much admirable....

 

   

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have to say, with much difficulty. Thank you.

Secret Affairs seem to be exciting. But I have seen a lot of very good people, who have met their downfall because of their liasons. Its not worth it.

Waaaaahhhh MASI. We meet again, here ???!!! The post was DULY approved, verified and noted by my main squeeze Pinoy.

It may not seem apparent to you, but yes, kinda-slightly-wanna be hot momma that OR maybe these men are visually impaired But whatever it is, maybe they see (or re-discovered) something they like. I must admit though that the new body dimensions did wonders although I would like to believe that the personality was the clincher Ay!!! Mid-Life...

What's the bagnet ?????

At para hindi ma OT...Pag may secret affair, dapat ba secret din ang love ???

For 11 years married, why did you only received proposals only in the last 3 years?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I only started to SOCIALIZE again after all the childbearing activities...or maybe I just wasnt aware, then :evil:

I have been married for 11 years. In the past three years, I have received 4 proposals from married men whom I have known since HS/College (in varying degrees ). All were extremely flattering. I was almost tempted to take up the offer of one. Not that he was the most attractive, but because I was confident that if I did take him up on the offer, it would be very discreet, fulfilling and LONG TERM. But, I DID NOT. Why? I was afraid to break my vows of fidelity. I love my husband very much. But I must admit that I still think about how it could have been if I did. We still continue to flirt / entice each other. Its been a mind-game for both of us and in some twisted way, I enjoy more getting my head screwed than my body. My hubby knows about this..and he does get his kicks about knowing that men still desire me. :evil:

Met my husband in a wedding where we were both secondary sponsors. The bride was LATE for an hour. To while away the boredom we talked. Liked each other instantly, 10 months after, kami na ang bride and groom.
