The most definitive movie of the 80s IMHO is "Pretty in Pink" starring Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthney. Ms. Ringwald even got the cover of Time magazine. She is actually not a hot babe, but there is something in her that makes her shine.

The 80s were indeed very memorable. 1982 was my best year financially as an independent IT consultant. Then it crashed totally in 1983 after Ninoy's killing ... including the economy. The early 80s also showed some of the best chinese martial arts movies (mostly HK made) including Sentimental Swordsman, Five Venoms, etc (many starring Ti Lung, Fu Sheng) and were readily available in the 3 theaters in Chinatown.

 

More early 80s: Food was P4-5 for any noodle soup, P2 for fried rice, along Ongpin St., Chinatown, Manila. The biggest bill was a P100 bill. DISCOVERY Nightclub in Sta. Mesa was just hitting its heyday ... table charge is P25/hr for GRO and P11/drink for models/solos - who butterfly (table hop). They can down 5-6 drinks in an hour. If you pay a pretty club girl P500 for going to bed w/ you, it is BIG Bucks.

 

The infamous CLUB INFERNO in Ermita/Malate area has the equivalent talent of today's HB/Classmate/ AirForce1/ Pegasus ... I took out a girl from this place that looks as good as (if not better than) Maricar De Mesa. The price? A shocking P1,000 then (equivalent to P15-20,000 today). I also went from rich to poor in a couple of months after Ninoy's demise... even went through a period of no money for food (and too proud/stupid to ask my parents for money) :thumbsdownsmiley:

i remember the days... i'm from that era... and i'm SO proud to be.

 

 

aside from all those games/toys/movies/tv shows, etc. i want to add some brand of shoes which were really a hit those times: vans, bla-bla, haruta, collie, dragonfly, tretorn, k-swiss, docksides, and of course, the immortal "sperry". you're quite hip weraing puritan or better yet, fruit of the loom undershirts. you swap swatches every week... and yes, you had at least one randy santiago 5-peso bill.

 

in my room, there were posters and vinyls of almost all the new wave bands... you name it - new order, midnight oil, depeche mode, u2, duran-duran, the cure, the care, x'mal deutschland, waterboys, tears for fears, echo & the bunnymen, flesh for lulu, siuoxie & the banshees, soft cell, gene loves jezebel, joy division, the smiths, and many more.

 

it was fun remembering those days. it's the best era there was...

80's PBA

 

The first-ever Conference Championship of the Eighties could be the best-ever title fight in PBA history. U-Tex came back in the final game of the five game series. The Wranglers were down by four with only 16 seconds remaining and snatched the 1980 Open Conference crown from a stunned Toyota squad in overtime. An American team, Nicholas Stoodley, with Larry Pounds, Larry Moffett, and Kenny Tyler won the 1980 Invitationals. The season saw the overwhelming display Crispa took in capturing the All-Filipino Championship. The Redmanizers won 19 straight and lost only one game all Conference.

dis is the decade when MICHAEL JORDAN set the most awesome dunks in nba history!

Crispa! :cool: It was also in 1983 when they scored their 2nd Grand Slam this time under Coach Tommy Manotoc! :thumbsupsmiley:

[seamanloloko]

yap, i grew up in the 80's...bee gees nite fever, america, kenny rogers, phil collins, air supply, survivors, vst & co., boyfriends, nonoy zuniga, rey valera, mr. dj song....etc.

[Mandrake]

Alphonse Muzon, Eumir Deodato, Devo, Police, Cars, Jerks, Cindi Lauper, Madonna... :cool:

[pogi1119]

For those eternal lovers of (Penny) Loafers and Topsiders, during those times we had Sebago, Haruta, Docksides, Sperry, Timberland, etc. Today, we still have those Sperry and Sebago plus additions like Rockport, Lacoste, Florsheim, Bass and even Italian brands.

 

Question:

1. Which loafers and topsiders were the best during the eighties?

2. How do loafers and tops compare with themselves now?

3. How do you find the other new players?

 

What I can say about the 80s version is that those shoes were really original from either the USA or Japan as compared to the ones today.

 

Today, I still go for Sebago plus the new players, Rockport and Bass

[♀~§assy§pirit~♀]
