Back To The 70's

[augustmoon]

alam namin lahat yan - basta walang sabihan ng student number ha

 

yeah I was surprised when I saw the UP Gym now in its present location. Many happy memories dyan sa lumang UP Gym. First PE ko swimming. Teacher ko si Fajardo - I think he was a former basketball coach and all he did was instruct us to go jump into the pool and he whiled away the time playing chess with his assistant leaving us to do whatever we liked in the pool. Dyan nga ako sa UP pool nakakuha ng mumps eh

What I remembered dyan sa basement na yan were the conyo kids of Upsilon hanging out and the nagmamantika ding hamburger ni manang.

What's the AS now called?

 

Hindi kami uminom dyan sa Nannete's. Dun kami nainom sa isang tindahan sa may VetMed saka dun sa Balara - sa may terminal ng mga jeep. Pagkainom punta na ko sa Main Libe para matulog

 

Bagong tayo pa lang nun yun School of Eco saka yung College of BA - madalas kaming tumambay na mga Eng dun kasi madaming chiks hehehe in fact despite being an IE it was the UP Junior Finance Assoc. which I joined.

Bods,...asar lang ang student number kung delayed ka... alam ng lahat ng classmates mo (lalo na sa Gen subjects kung hindi ka nila batch..lalo na if you join the block classes (at pasg SN ang ginagamit sa exemption list. I experienced that being a shifter. I graduated October (even after taking all the summers) and i felt very bad... but if I knew then what I know now na masarap buhay student...baka nagpa MRR pa ako.

 

Bods, JT and Storm....sino ang Spanish teacher niyo? I had the famous Senora Ventanilla and the infamous Senora Arespacochaga... :-)

[augustmoon]

I am sure may memories kayo ng late '70's drag races dyan sa Greenhills shopping Center.... I can't forget being there for the first (and only) time...when (then) Mayor Estrada came and closed all the gates of Greehills... kasama ang SJ police to break up the races.

 

I also can't forget the endless debuts and cotillions that was de rigeur then. Imagine going to Where Else or Stargazer in your gowns after a debut??? Talk about formal.

I avoided Arespacochaga...pag registration dun, the catchword is that pag mahaba pangalan ng teacher, sigurado terror yun, so unahan kami dun sa maiigsi pangalan like uhmm...aaahh nakalimutan ko na sa tagal

 

masarap talaga buhay dun in fact I took my course in 6 years no summers for me...

interesting initial course you had - did you have plans on entering the fashion business?

[storm]

Yup. 40+ and happy to be !!! :-) Malamang nag-abot tayo nila Bods sa UP.  Dapat siguro mag start ng thread ng mga UP memories ng 70's to 80's.... and to be able to join, kailangan, magsabi ng student number.

 

Naabutan niyo ba ang UP GYM noong nasa tapat pa ng IC and UP Chapel and what is then known as the Drive-In?  E 'iyung hotdog sandwich with nagmamantikang mayonnaise ni manang sa Basement canteen  (tambayan ng Upsilon) ng then tinatawag na AS? Siguro naman alam niyo rin ang inuman sa UP Vill.na Nanettes??

Yeah, alam ko lahat iyan. And maybe magkakilala tayo kung naging tambay Wherelse ka rin. I was in BS Psychology in the 70s. Kaya kung MassComm ka ay alam mo yung Psych Library na tambayan ng Psych Soc sa AS. Marami rin akong naging barkadang MassCom. I knew Loren L before. Ewan ko lang kung matandaan pa ko nun.

 

Paboritong laro noon sa UP ay spades, trumps or bridge.

 

Paboritong kainan sa Shopping Center ay Rodics. Masarap ding kumain sa Alumni Center, Tea Room at ang famous Area na smorgasbord ang rice. Favorite naman noon sa Katipunan ay ang Kampo. Madalas din kaming kumain sa Mother's along EDSA at sa Red Ribbon sa kanto ng Quezon ave. and Timog.

Nagtapos ako ng dalawang course kaya even though 7*-***** ang student number ko ay umabot ako hanggang 85 jan sa UP.

 

My Spanish teacher was Madrigal, Sailing and the famous Botor. :cool:

 

I had a very colorful life in UP. Nag-enjoy talaga ako jan. Marami akong naging karanasan jan na maituturing wholesome ngayon :evil: :hypocritesmiley:

Hello, Ms. Augustmoon.

 

I wish I could remember the names of my Spanish teachers, but I can't. The first always smoked KOOL cigarettes. She was also our block adviser.

 

And yes, I was there at the 1979 Sponsors' Parade when it rained. I shivered like hell. But we were all more concerned about our sponsor, because it was really so cold because of the rain. At least we were in fatigues. She was in a lovely white dress. Our sponsor was really pretty. I was initially assigned to Rayadillo, but with the help of the Student Council I was able to get transferred to a different company, which assembled every Saturday afternoon outside the UP Theater.

I was not much of a disco-DUCK then. It was just the last stop we had afyer coming from those utterly-pretetious debuts...at sino ba ang hindi nakaka-baba sa famous stairs ng where else? :-)

 

Naabutan ko pa si Loren in IMC. She was THAT popular then..Noon pa lang you know she would go places.

 

Backgammon was our favorite board game..the Tong-its came much later. :-)

 

Lahat ng kainan na iyan alam ko. I specially like the Lechon kawali rice in Kampo. I even remember MOther's having a DISCO then? right.

 

I am pretty sure we have common friends in our circle. If you were a tambay in the Lobby, AS steps, or PL on your first two years in UP we must've bumped into each other then.

I can never forget that rainy Saturday afternoon. My first and only time to don the wet look. It was so amusing. Even the wolf-whistles in hindsight, seem to be cool. :-)

Bods,

 

Six years was REGULAR for most UP students.

 

I took CT first because it seemed to be different. And it was a non-quota course I thought I was easy...not till the CHEM subject came..Out na ako.

 

Summers was an excuse to have continuous allowance even if half the day you were in your friends house. :goatee:

[jt2003]

I guess the common reason a lot of us spent so many years at UP was that, well, we never wanted to leave. Those were really such good times. In other schools, they wanted to graduate in three years instead of four. For us at UP, we wanted to stay for six instead or four, or seven instead of five. I don't quite know how it is these days.

[flyingdutchman]

They have an outlet of Rodics along Salcedo

street in legaspi village. Not the same quality

though.

Ganoon pa rin. Dalaw ka ulit sa Isko thread. Halos lahat ng poster dun ay hindi natapos on time.

We used to practice the swing at Mother's Womb Disco in the afternoon or early evening before we go to Wherelse.

 

We even danced the swing at the AS Parking lot. We parked our cars on the west side katabi ng Upsilon's parking area.

[augustmoon]

Can anybody please share pics of the 70's??? Does anyone know of a definitive '70's pinoy movie that I can watch...for the ultimate time trip?

Dekada 70?
