Back To The 70's

[storm]

6' 4" si Mariano kasya sa Corolla? Kung sabagay, may headroom naman yung corolla. Ang hirap siguro kung naging celeste.

 

Ok cars nyo. Yan yung pangarap ko noon pero hindi ako binili ng parents ko. Pero kahit paano nung college, I drove a German car (1302S beetle lang nga)

 

Ang tagal ko ring pinagtyagaan hanggang sa ikasal ako nung 1988. Grabe tibay kasi. Minsan-minsan tinatakas ko car ng parents ko (Galant). When I got married bumigay na yung Beetle. Panay tirik na, tapos mahal pa ng spare parts. Kaya tiis commute muna kami ni misis. Then in 1989, we first bought our car, a 4-door corolla 1300 skd. That was one of the happiest moment in our lives. Our first investment. I dressed up the car with 15" mags and series 50 tires. Ang pogi na.

Since I'm in a reminiscing mode anyway ....

 

One of the biggest movies of the 1970s in this basketball-crazy country was "One on One" with Robbie Benson and Anette O'Toole. Incredibly popular with teens (as I was at the time), particularly the lovelorn. During the months after it was released locally, you could hear "My Fair Share" (and to some extent, "Love Conquers All") practically everywhere.

Pareng storm,

 

Some time after that legendary Meralco team was disbanded, I was fortunate enough to watch Jimmy Mariano playing with a local team (which included movie stars) against a selection from Clark in an exhibition game at the Loyola Center. After the game, I caught up with him outside to get an autograph. He was very nice to me and my mother, even though he was preparing to leave. That's when I saw his car, which was a lot smaller than a corolla. Even then, I wondered how he managed it. After all, he was a center .... who could drill it from so far out, even with his comang arms.

 

Those were the days before the PBA, when basketball players, even great ones like Jimmy Mariano, never made more than a junior executive.

Bigla tuloy pumasok sa isip ko yung kadate ko noong pinanood namin iyan sa QUAD. Lalo kaming naging sweet after the movie. Tapos tumuloy kami sa Magnolia Ice Cream Parlor sa ground floor and I ordered brown derby with barquillos while she ordered strawberry parfait. Nasaan na kaya siya ngayon?

I don't know if Jimmy Mariano still lives in Malabon. He's such a nice guy. He's a friend of my cousin who worked before in Meralco in the 60's.

Nice car. My first ride was a 1970 beetle. It belonged to my mom when she was in college. It was a 'present' on my 15th birthday back in '91. I grew up in La Union and obtaining a driver's license was easy. I had the top lopped off and the body painted bright red. Boy, I've fond memories of it. Fifty pesos worth of gas, during a time when a liter sold for ten, was enough for a week. Even though it broke down frequently despite intensive maintenance, and sourcing spare parts was difficult, I loved that car. Mom sold it when I left to attend university. "Woot? Ok, where's my money then?", I said. She was keeping it since she had it fixed in the first place. No contest. Unfair.

Seals and Croft....

I remember yung Summer Breeze was one of the first songs we learned on the guitar

Paboritong-paborito naming mga baguhan sa gitara nuon yung mga kanta ng America - Ventura Highway, Horse With No Name - madadalin lang kasi yung mga chords

Pagdating na dun sa You've Got a Friend ni James Taylor nagkabuhol-buhol na mga daliri namin dahil mahirap ang chords at puro plucking pa hehehe.....

hindi nga nagkakalayo mga edad natin hahahaha....meron din akong ka date (nursing student) ng mapanuod namin ang ONE ON ONE sa recto. I remeber Robbie Benson made the last winning shot parang ako sa school namin last shot din pero sumablay dyan din sumika ang Seals and Croft...sila rin kumanta ng theme song sa paper chase tv series. sumunod na movie ni robbie benson after One on One ay yung ICE CASTLE...1979 naman yun. meron din akong ka date na pre-dental student sa harrison plaza (bago nasunog ang HP nuong early 80s) ice cream din kinain namin pagkatapos ng sine...sarap mag reminisce ng mga nakaraan...."please don't let this feeling end..it might not come again...." sarap!!

Si Mon Fernandez 'yon, pareng Anaheim. Hirap lang kasi makilala dahil sa puting buhok.

 

By the way, pareng daisycutter. Kumain din ako doon sa Orange Julius sa Rustan's pagtapos manood ng "One on One."

naalala ko yung FPJ sa GMA. all films of da king was shown every week at GMA 7. da king got a cool 10 million pesos for the rights to show his films on channel 7. I remember I videotaped some of his films shown on ch 7 in betamax format.

[blackmamba]

the earliest film i have of FPJ...

aside from "7gatang"...

 

"12 kuba"

 

but my favorite is "suicide commandos" with Joseph Estrada

 

and the soundtrack of markado...sung by fred panopio...

 

he will be missed...

[storm]

Isang film ni FPJ na napanood ko with a date was Bato sa Buhangin with Vilma Santos.

 

I appeared in one movie of Ate Vi in 1979. Hindi ko pa napanood yung movie up to now.
