john2004 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Meron nang DM transit nun. Grabeng manggitgit. Mas mabilis lang nga ang byahe nun pero loko na ring mag-drive mga public utility vehicles - taxi, jeep, bus. Hindi na natutong tumino. Mga pulis nun kumokotong na rin. Mas mura lang nga. Matino nun ang mga pedestrians. Takot sa jaywalking. yung DM transit - yun ba yung baby bus, red at yung entrance & exit nasa likuran at gitna? 1) Ling Nam sa QUAD (Makati)2) movie house - Rizal Avenue maganda pa - State, Ever, Universal, Jennet, Lords, Roxan, Galaxy, Capri, Odeon, Alegria sa kanto ng tayuman & rizal avenue Quote Link to comment

remoteworld Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 My Civil Eng professor did the structural design of Virra Mall. I remember I bought some European made t-shirts like Sergio Tacchini, Australian, Fila (the ones worn by Bjorn Borg), etc. in one of the stores (forgot the name) at the ground floor.virra mall was built the old way: the right way, no wonder it survived all earthquakes. there were only a few stores that sell general goods in the ground floor. most of them were in the same side where gym equipments (owned by my hindi friends like don, who's still active selling at the 2nd level) were. those were the days, the english-speaking store owners were the ones who manned their stores, you could make kwento and tawad without problems, business was so personal! nowadays it's their tinderas whom you talked to: "ano yun, dong?" the english-speaking greenhills tinderos/tinderas are rarity nowadays.

I also remember a theater inside Virramall, sa third floor. I forgot the title of the movie watched but I am sure it was a tagalog movie remoteworld, sir...kilala nyo ba si Revin, yung indonesian guy na nagtitinda ng mga cd games sa third floor ng virramall, his shop I remember was called 'coffee shop' Quote Link to comment

photographer Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 mahirap daw naging buhay nuong araw, dahil sa martial law... un ang sabi ng tatay ko, walang LAYA ang mga tao! Di naman mahirap. Actually compared economically today, mas mahirap ngayon. Sabi nilang mahirap is not mahirap kundi walang freedom of the press. Hindi mo lang alam kung ano na ang tunay na balita. Pero during the first three years of Martial Law, bumait at sumusunod ang mga tao sa batas and traffic rules and regulations. I remember na, nakasanayan na namin kasi, naghahanap parati ako ng pila whenever sasakay ka ng jeep or bus. Ang gandang tingnan unlike ngayon, padating palang ang jeep, takbuhan na at agawan. May mga "barkers" pero ang inaatupag hindi para mag ayos ng pila kund kotong sa mga drivers kasi sila ang front ng mga MAJORITY na pulis. I said MAJORITY na kasi bihirang bihira na akong makakita ng hindi nangongotong na pulis unlike during the 70s. Quote Link to comment
photographer Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I remember during the Xmas even, suspended ang curfew, naku, parang pinakawalan sa kulungan mga tao. Punong puno ang Luneta. Nagpunta kami sa grandstand, ang daming nakahiga at ang saya saya. Imagine, Abbey Road LP ng Beatles ang pinatutugtog, eh, wala naman dun ang Beatles, kada magtatapos at mag uumpisa ang music, nagsisigawan at nagpapalakpakan ang mga tao. Parang live concert! Ang sarap bailkan talaga and ang baba ng crime rate. Ilang beses na kami inaabot ng hating gabi sa pag uwi ni walang snatcher, ni walang holdaper. Palabas ba naman na fire squad si LimSeng, di ka ba matatakot. Or, magaan lang siguro buhay nuon at mataas ang purchasing power ng Peso nuon, marami kang mabibili sa kauntiong Peso Quote Link to comment
