Are You From The 80s?

[skicker]

Depeche Mode baby!

 

i got inspired by these guys. ang galing nila. hayun, i got into playing piano/keyboards/guitar

nang dahil sa kanila. the singing part...... sablay. hahaha!

 

Yeah I remember those boys. How about Rick Ocasek of the Cars? George Michael and Tear for fears. And of course our very own Gary V..Bagets..How time really flies..parang kailan lang..It's the best ever...IMHO.

Just saw Staying Alive on HBO earlier today... Sure brings back the 80s feelings again... especially the music

 

I think Staying Alive was originally shown in the late 70's, but im not really sure.

[hitman531ph]

Saturday Night Fever was in 1977. The sequel is Staying Alive which came out in 1983.

the year i was born. it was also during this era that i first watched Firestarter and E.T, the era when i got addicted to Madonna and her look (lace stockings and all), the era when Maricel Soriano, William Martinez, Snooky Serna, Albert Martinez and Roderick Paulate were movie kings and queens of local cinema...miss my youth!

[roughashlar]

The best decade!

[mwah]

gawd, topsiders with electric tape. penny loafers with pennies. argylle socks. teased bangs with colored highlights.

 

those were the days.

[storm]

Huwag kalimutan ang shoulder pads!!!!

 

Skinny jeans with zippers or stretched denim.

 

POLO long back for P 50.00 only in Greenhills. Fake pala. Buti na lang mas gusto ko ang lacoste.

[kanski]

Who remembers the preppy handbook? Doon ko nabasa to put red and green electrical tapes around your boat shoes.

 

Also remember reading this, just not sure if it was in the said handbook:

 

Hilfiger Polo Tees- preppy

 

Polo- very preppy

 

Lacoste- ultimate preppy

 

Jeesh! Babaw ko dati!

[Big Joe]

i miss some of my toys: GI Joe, Transformers (Skyfire/Jetfire - my fave) , He-Man, Voltes Five na die cast, Thunder Cats, hundreds of Matchboxes, Game and Watch, Atari 5200, Family Com, those Php50 watches that transform into robots, and my ultimate toy - Tomy Omnibot2000 - this was the Grand Prize of Milo raffle when I was in Grade2 but my mom bought me one at Toys 'R Us for $1000 :thumbsupsmiley:

 

junk food na may free:

chikadees (free tattoo na sabi may lason daw; plastic frog that jumps when pushed down)

chuppa chups (pag may smiley sa loob ng wrapper may free sticky hands)

bazooka joe - the ultimate jaw muscle enhancer :upside: (free bazooka joe comics)

 

mga laro at ibang libangan namin:

pepsi 7up, dr quack quack, bahay bahayan tinda tindahan luto lutuan :thumbsupsmiley: , agawan base, patintero (patotot!), piko, monkey monkey anabel (how many da monkey did you see!), nanay tatay gusto kong tinapay..., i love you teddy bear teddy bear..., monkey in the middle, langit lupa (im im impyerno), tumbang preso, tirahan ng baby rocket, truth or consequence, bente uno, mag-bike sa buong subdivision (hutch ang bmx ko dati, gaang nito sobra :thumbsupsmiley: )

i miss those days..palaging merong "first"

[mwah]

gawd.... those shoulder pads AND skinny jeans!!!!!

 

I remember asking for a Barbie doll... but my mom chose to buy me a die cast Voltes V robot instead. Coolness, di ba? I've had a handful of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars as well but I had one and only one Barbie doll. Ay, meron din pala akong Evil-lyn.

 

Syempre... the 80s would always remind me of cutesy Patrick Dempsey from Can't Buy Me Love and Happy Together.

Oh but now he's so oh-so-hot-and-dreamy in Gray's Anatomy.

[orionpax]

Had GI Joes, Transformers, Bandai Heroes (Voltes V, Mekanda, Mazinger Z and Getter 1) ,Lego Technic, Tonka Trucks as toys hehe

[ianne19]

80's huhuhuhuhuhuhu remember the days of original lola basyang ang shaider sidekick annies panty showing up...

[nohankypanky]

Aquanet used to sell like hotcakes! hail to hair sprays!

[shrike]

showdown of the 'sound mobiles'.

 

instant parties : load the sound system in the back of the pickup, find a friend whose family is out on vacation, call lotsa hot friends, short trip to cherry foodarama and voila 80's new wave parties.

 

used to wear loafers w/out socks, blazers over fruit of the loom shirt, Top 40s and Shambu line of shirts, 'boggart' pants, haruta shoes and the ever faithful sony walkman accesories.

 

the cult classic movies : pulp fiction, RAD and hackers.

 

hair mousse, ultra hold gels and egg whites are king !

 

honda prelude was a rarity back then and car phones are as big as your wenger overnighter bag now.
