Are You From The 80s?

[willow_boy]

I remember going to Larry's Bar sa Makati almost every night after work to unwind with friends.

 

Rhythm n' Booze on Makati Avenue was also a favorite hangout.

 

My favorite bands from the 80s:

1) Tears For Fears

2) Duran Duran

3) The Cure

 

Popular Cars of the 80s:

1) Mitsubishi Lancer (Box type from the early 80s)

2) Toyota Corolla Liftback

3) Mitsubishi Pajero

Whoever drove the TOYOTA LIFTBACK then was poging-pogi. I remember my Dad bought a slightly used unit for a give-away price of only P70,000. Miss those times when car prices were

really down.

 

The early 80s also were the heydays of the lunchtime shows in Lambat, QC and 5-star hotels in Makati. I remember seeing Alma Moreno for the first time in Lambat before she made it big in the movies.

two prominent buildings in ortigas back then were Meralco and Philcomcen.  one can't miss them dahil parehong may communication tower sa rooftop.

Towards the late 80s, I was working already. I was in sales. Minsan, after lunch, parada muna kami sa ilalim ng puno in the Ortigas Area. Tulog muna. Ortigas then had very few buildings and not anywhere as crowded as it is today. Wala pang Megamall... That area where Mega A is, there used to be a Caltex gas station. Minsan, on a date, tumirik yung kotse ko. I left it there and parked it overnight. Came back for it the next morning.... That tells you that the peace and order situation then was much much better than today.

Used to tune in to 99.5 RT FM...

You remember the song Rico Mambo? Actually, I first heard it played in RT. Ok naman when I first heard it. Then, the other stations started playing the song to death culminating in overkill courtesy of dance contests in Eat Bulaga.

 

RT in the 80s was THE station for the S crowd....

[Magaling]

most of the time i go with 97.3 LS FM.

LS naman caters mostly to the general student population....Whenever we have events in school, we'd go to LS to get it plugged (for free!) in the Campus Bulletin Board. :cool:

Munsingwear, Sergio Tacchini, ellesee, Fila Bjorn Borg t-shirts. Addidas and Puma sneakers made you really sikat, although Nike was starting to make a name then when it introduced the waffle shoe. Remember pelota? I used to be a hot player then. Wore short shorts together with dragon brand rubber shoes as they were the lightest on the market, parang tsinelas.

 

Tennis was also uso then badminton was just a game played by kids in the kalye. Who can forget the Jimmy Connors - Bjorn Borg - Ilie Nastase - John MacEnroe matchups? And didn't everyone think Jimmy Connors and Chrissy Everts made a fine pair?

i had the pleasure of wearing these in-shirts of the 80s as well which included a few La Coste striped shirts I treasured so much that I personally washed and ironed carefully myself.

 

In the late 80s, I used to love wearing those pencil-cut maong jeans with colored back pockets and white K-Swiss tennis shoes.

BigMacs & Quarter Pounders were packaged in Styropor back then

One of the things I did not like about the 80s was that na-uso iyong pag-lagay ng softdrinks (the ones you bought from sidewalk vendors or sari-sari stores) sa plastic na supot. This was probably bad for everyone's health, most especially the kids. :thumbsdownsmiley:

Everytime I See You

 

Life it seems, slips away

Just like any dream

All I want is all I need

Still I ask for more

 

Say, say why is it so

Wait, wait don't let me know

 

Everytime I see you

My life turns upside down

Everytime I see you I know

 

Love it seems, slips away

Just like any dream

I failed to see this memory

Means so much to me

 

Say, say why is it so

Wait, wait don't let me know

 

Everytime I see you

My life turns upside down

Tried so hard to find out

How to make you come back

But even if I told you

I can't hold you again

Everytime I see you I know

 

Everytime I see you

My life turns upside down

I tried so hard to find out

How to make you come back

But even if I told you

I can't hold you again

Everytime I see you I know

 

Everytime I see you

My life turns upside down

Everytime I see you I know.
