[Qbs_]

i miss the time when channel 2 has shows like twilight zone, doogie howser, and the likes, in primetime

[orionpax]

I remember in the mid 80's and in high school, i was playing the piano intro of "Enveloped ideas" by The Dawn everytime we have parties at my friend's house. Did that to impress chicks....

Hmmm another piano riff that was hot during those times was the intro of "Take on Me" by A-ha

The most memorable event of the 80s was The People Power or EDSA Revolution. I was so stupidly brave passing by Camps Crame and Aguinaldo, EDSA on that first night. It was so eerilie very quiet, no traffic, no civilians or uzis, only barricades.

I was there on the first night. There were less than 50 of us civilians at the gates.

1. A DAngerous Life (1988) about Marcos overthrow. (ruben rustia, laurice guillen)

 

2. Year of Living Dangerously (1982) about Indonesia's Sukarno overthrow (Mel Gison, Bembol Roco, Kuh Ledesma)

 

I remember the tv mini series film shooting of "A Dangerous Life" at EDZA area (not the actual area that now stands the edza shrine) in makati ...yung way papuntang Rockwell. The production crew shot a scene at mendiola for that mini tv series...na front page pa sa Daily Express newspaper.

 

I was able to witness the film shooting of "The Year of Living Dangerously" at Robinsons parking area in Ermita. circa 1981. kasama ni mel gibson si bembol roco at kuh ledesma.

I wonder if it was ever popular here in Manila, but we used to have afternoon discos at Cebu Plaza Hotel's Bai Disco. It was usually held on Saturdays and we would give parents weird reasons for heading to school on that day.

[Femme_666]

this stuff e na receive ko lang sa email at sobrang naka relate ako dito, just wanna share it with you guys... ENJOY!

 

Ito ang panahon natin .... noon kabilang ka ba dito????

 

"Ito ang mga huling taon ng dekada '80 at ang mga unang taon ng dekada '90. Ito ang panahong uso pa ang makiuso. Kung ginagaya mo ang style ng mga artista, hindi ka tatawaging jologs. Ito ang panahong tapos na ang martial law, pero malayo pa ang new millennium. Hindi pa high-tech pero di naman old fashioned. Saktong-sakto lang!

 

Ito ang panahon natin. Pero pano mo malalaman kung kabilang ka sa henerasyong ito? Narito ang listahan na makapagpapatunay if you're one of us. R U?

 

1. Paborito mong panoorin ang Shaider, Bio-man, Maskman, Mask Rider Black, Machine Man at kung ano-anong TV sitcom ng Japan na isinalin sa Tagalog. Break muna sa mga laro kapag alas singko na ng hapon tuwing Sabado dahil panahon na para sa superhero marathon.

 

2. Alam mo ang jingle ng Nano-Nano. (isang kending lasang champoy).

 

3. Nanood ka ng Takeshi's Castle at naniwala kang si Anjo Yllana talaga si Takeshi at si Smokey Manaloto ang kanyang alalay. (Pinagiisipan mo - pano sila lumalaban sa final challenge na parang nakasakay sila sa isang bumpcar at nagbabarilan sila gamit ang water gun gayong sa Japan ginagawa yun eh taga Pilipinas sila?)

 

4. Alam mo ang pa-contest ng Kool 106 na uulit-ulitin mong bigkasin ang "Kool 106, Kool 106" hanggang maubusan ka ng hininga.

 

5. Naglaro ka ng Shake-Shake Shampoo, Monkey-Monkey-Annabelle, prikidam 123, Langit-Lupa-Impyerno, Syato, Luksong-Tinik, Luksong-Baka, 10-20 at kung ano-ano pang larong nakakapagod.

 

6. Pumunta ang mga tag! a- MILO sa skul niyo at namigay sila ng samples na nakalagay sa plastic cup na kasing laki nung sa maliit na ice cream. (at nagtaka ka, bakit hindi ganito ang lasa ng MILO kapag tinitimpla ko sa bahay namin?)

 

7. May malaking away ang mga METAL (mga punks na naka itim) at mga HIPHOP (mga taong naka maluwang na puruntong na kahit Makita na ang dalawang bundok.) Nag-aabangan sa mall na may dalang baseball bat at kung anu-ano pang mga sandata. Sikat ang kasabihang "PUNKS NOT DEAD!" pero kung gusto mong mag play safe, pwede mong tawagin ang sarili mong HIPTAL.

 

8. Alam mo ang universal uwian song na "Uwian na!" na kinakanta sa tono na parang doon sa kinakasal.

 

9. Nagpauto ka sa Batibot pero hindi sa ATBP.

 

10. Nakipag-away ka para makapaglaro ng brick game. (hi-tech na yun noon)

 

11. Ang "text" noon ay mga 1"x1.5" na karton na may mga drawing ng pelikulang pinoy. (at may dialog pa!)

 

12. Dalawa lang ang todong sumikat na wrestler, si Hulk Hogan at si Ultimate Warrior. Naniwala ka rin na namatay si Ultimate Warrior nang buhatin niya si Andre d' Giant dahil pumutok ang mga ugat niya sa muscle.

 

13. Nagsayaw ka ng running man at kung anu-anong dance steps na nakapagpamukha sa'yong tanga sa saliw na kantang Ice Ice Baby, Wiggle It, Pray, at Can't Touch This.

 

14. Hindi ka gaanong mahilig sa That's Entertainment at pinapanood mo lang ito tuwing Sabado kung saan nagpapagandahan ng production numbers ang Monday hanggang Friday group. (at badtrip ka sa Wednesday group dahil pinakabaduy lagi ang performance nila!)

 

15. Napaligaya ka ng maraming pinoy bands tulad ng Yano, Rivermaya, Grin Department, Tropical Depression, The Teeth, The Youth, After Image, Orient Pearl, The Dawn, Alamid, Wolfgang, at ang sikat na sikat na Eraserheads. (at aminin mong nakinig ka ng Siakol!)

 

16. Kilala mo ang Smokey Mountain, (first and second generation)

 

17. Hindi pa uso noon ang sapatos na may gulong. Noon, astig ka kapag umiilaw ang swelas ng sapatos mo tuwing ia-apak mo ito. Tinawag rin itong "Mighty Kid"

 

18. Kung lalaki ka, sikat na sikat sa'yo ang mga larong text, jolens, dampa (mga unang anyo ng pustahan), saranggola at ang dakilang manika niyo ay si GI-JOE with alipores.

 

19. Kung babae ka naman, ang mga laro mo with you're girlfriends ay luto-lutuan, bahay-bahayan, doktor-doktoran, at kung anu-ano pang pagkukunwari. ang dakilang manika mo ay si Barbie. (Sikat ka kung meron kang bahay, kotse at kabaong ni Barbie.)

 

20. Naniwala kang original ang isang cap kapag may walong tahi sa visor nito.

 

21. Swerte ka kapag panghapon ka dahil masusubaybayan mo ang mga kapanapanabik na kaganapan sa mga paborito mong cartoon shows tuwing umaga tulad ng Cedie, Sarah, at Dog of Flanders a.k.a. Nelo. (Hindi ka ba nagtataka na sa lahat ng mga bida sa cartoons na ito, si Nelo lang ang di yumaman at namatay pa ng maaga)

 

22. Alam mo ang ibig sabihin ng "TIME FIRST!"

 

Bakit kaya ganon? Kahit sang lupalop ka ng Pilipinas naroon, eh nakaka-relate ka sa mga pinagsasasabi ko. Siguro'y dahil wala pang cable at kakaunti lang ang pagpipiliang channels kaya parepareho tayo ng pinapanood. Maaaring wala pang playstation kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang naiimbentong laro na pwedeng gawin sa kalsada o sa isang bakanteng lote. Pero kung ano man ang dahilan sa pagkaparepareho natin ng karanasan, masaya na rin akong naging bata ako sa panahong ito. Masarap alalahanin at balik-balikan. Di ba?"

[storm]

Kahit walang cable noon. May UHF FEN station naman galing Clark or Subic. Channel 17. Kaya angas ka noon kung may UHF antenna ka sa bahay mo.
