Glorietta then was still a park at the back of Quad

remember when there were phoebe cates posters in every corner...

(when my cousins from america visited they thought she was the queen of the philippines)

remember when greenhills was every teenager's world...

remember the sudden james dean resurgence...

guys remember the shorts with the built in underwear...

ladies remember how high your bangs were...

Definitely! Breakdancing, strutt, punk, hardcore and new wave. Bands GeneLovesJezebel, U2, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Lotus Eaters, Tears for Fears, FraLippoLippi, Depeche Mode, etc. The "IN" radio station was XB102, daming "TI-PAR" nung time na to. Pag may mobile ka (flaunting LP records and extended versions) you get the goodies.

 

Tama, Glorietta was a park at the back of Quad where breakdancers strutt their stuff tapos dadating yung mga punkista (naka black outfit complete w/chains and the works) tapos hahabulin at gugulpihin sila. :cry:

 

The hang-outs were Rumors, Heartbeat, Faces and Euphoria. At ang drag racing sa Greenhills pa. :cool:

 

Oh by the way, pag may date ako nun, Shakey's lang sosi ka na. A bunch of lunch cost P25 lang at ang sine P8 lang ata... yung P100 mo e malayo ang mararating:upside:

The New Wave Era... how can I ever forget that.... B)

 

We watch MV2 during noon... and most often than not, I chance upon the "Square Rooms" music video :headsetsmiley:

 

The Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Duran-Duran, The Cure, The Care, Midnight Oil, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Gene Loves Jezebel, X'mal Deutschland, Major Tom, A-Ha, ABC, Rick Astley, Flesh for Lulu, New Order, Mike Francis, Soft Cell, and countless more...

 

...and of course, there's U2. No other band can come close to U2... please. ;)

remember her? true story... some cousins of mine visited the philippines around 1989 for the first time... they know who phoebe cates but what they don't get is why her posters are everywhere...

a few years later we saw each other again & talked about their visit... then we got to talking about phoebe cates... apparently they went home thinking that phobe cates was queen of the philippines...
