Sa mga 80's fan out there a DJ friend of mine is playing 80's tunes :boo: every friday nights sa Katips Timog (actually along Sct. Torilllo yun). Great guy he really was a child of the 80's kaya hayup ang collection ng 80's dance and new wave tunes. :thumbsupsmiley: Very receptive to requests unlike other DJ's na ayaw magpalit ng program for fear na di kaya imix. Kahit magkagulo mix basta masaya tao iplay niya! :boo: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :boo:

Really? That's great! But only on Fridays?

[nomanji]

yup, every friday at katips timog is 80's nite. tugtugan mobile... so kung nag-aattend kayo ng mga ticket parties noon (like sa corinthians and valle verde) atsaka ng mga high school dances dati, ganong music ang maririnig nyo.
