Back To The 70's

[storm]

Nauso rin noon ang mga yosing 120s. Pinakasikat ang MORE (brown) and Saratoga (white). Sa charcoal filtered naman ay DORAL.

This is the famous shop in Recto, where I bought my first pair of leather boots.

Ang Tibay or Camara Shoes? Both are gone now

Ang Tibay or Camara Shoes? Both are gone now

 

"Ang Tibay" was the brand of combat boots I used for CAT in high school and CMT in college. Bought it from a military uniforms store near Camp Aguinaldo. True to its brand name, the boots were really durable and of high quality. Used it for 4 years through grass, sand, rocks, mud, water, etc. Buo pa rin when I retired it.

 

Sad end to this story was that years later, my dad gave it away to a total stranger without my knowledge and consent. Bad trip. :thumbsdownsmiley:

In grade & high school:

 

 

toma - 4kantos

 

 

beer + gin = beergin with calamansi

 

pulutan....delatang hokkaido mackerel o kaya pipino on vinegar with paminta and sugar.

[storm]

Our 70s drinks then were vodka tonic (smirnoff or stoli). We also made punch with vodka para hindi maamoy. Siempre when we're in Tia Maria's, margarita.

 

Among the cocktails then, the most popular orderin ng mga girls in our group was weng weng.

Do you guys remember the jelly apples that used to be sold at those kiosks around Araneta center in Cubao? with popsicle sticks na nakatusok (as handle) and dipped in a sugary glaze.

beer + gin = beergin with calamansi

 

...in short, "gin-bulag". kung kapos ang atik, bilog na lang i/o 4kantos.

either way, this "poor-man's drink" was also called "stainless" or "marka demonyo".

 

Then there was also "White Castle-5 years" (the lapad and the long-neck).

If im not mistaken Evangeline Pascual was one of the WC girls of the 70s. :goatee:

Yes, I do remember those jelly apples and the hotdogs on a stick that were also sold at those kiosks. :thumbsupsmiley: I sure miss those kiosks.

[id6230]

Sounds and feels like a good decade. I was still a nothingess.

[blow_gobi]

So, does watching today's Transformers bring back memories?

[storm]

Storm, EB next week?

naalaa ko una naming tv Radiowealth b & w...nang mauso naman ang colored t.v. umasenso na sa zenith...hulugan pa. :upside:

[FAHAD]

nung early 70s sa Baguio, may siren from the city hall every 9PM, saying na curfew hours na. kaya ayun, sabi ni ermat tulog na daw at baka hulihin kami ng pulis hehe.

[storm]

Since nauuso na naman ang mga vinyl or plaka, I remembered na astig na turntable then was Technics, matched with Marantz or Fischer amplifiers and JBL speakers. Sikat din noon ang Sansui, Pioneer, Kenwood and bago pa lamang ang Denon. Yamaha was only popular with its musical instruments like organ, guitar, drums, piano and of course, motorcycles.

Pards, I agree with everything you mentioned. Pioneer ang sound system namin noon with 3-way speakers. It was composed of a stereo receiver (with AM/FM radio), a cassette deck, a turntable, and 2 3-way speakers. Didn't have an equalizer though. Bought the whole system from Abenson sa Cubao. Kenwood and Sansui, correct me if I'm wrong, were on the higher end in terms of price and quality. They were pricier than a Pioneer or Technics system. Akai was also a brand that was quite popular pero I don't think it matched well against any of the brands you mentioned.

 

As for musical instruments, Yamaha has come a long way. It's now the number 1 in piano sales here in the US.

I remember those turntables. May mga lumabas na models nun na tangential tracking yung arm. Unlike yung original na at an angle yung arm. Mas maganda daw ang sound kasi perendicular yung position in relation to the vinyl.

 

Bang and Olufsen yung isang model na nakita ko nun. Sobra mahal.

 

Buti nalang may cd na ngayon. hehe

[storm]

Iba pa rin ang sound ng vinyl. Ang gaganda pa ng mga album covers.

right on, pare!

kung bibili ka na ng phono just tell me - madami na akong alam na bibilhan hehehe...

entry-level prices start at P16k - maganda na ito...

 

Nothing would beat the artwork of LP's - in CD's you need to have magnifying glasses in order to scrutinize the artwork, which in our case 70's beings, is so sorely needed. Artwork pa lang yan - pag may lyrics na dun sa CD it is next to impossibe to read them, not like LP jackets where the writing is reasonably legible..

 

May nagsale ng LPs sa QC - finally found the Grateful Dead and Frank Zappa albums I've been looking for. That's another thing with CDs. Nearly impossible to locate CD reissues of some classic 70's albums.

[storm]

Ayusss pareng bods! Cge ipon muna ako.

 

EB raw sabi ni pareng SBM. When kaya pwede ang mga 70s boys or girls kung meron man?

[tabouki]

=================================================================

 

Yap, also Japanese cagers with a surname of "Taniguchi", "Abe" and the man-mountain "Numata". Red China did not compete sa Asian Games because of the country's close door policy but when they did opened it up, many were stunned by their height (nuon yun) and raw talent. I remember when they visited the Philippines during the 70's, parang ang babait nila. Imagine, kapag nabangga nila players natin, they halt play and tried to help yung players nating bumagsak (diplomacy then). But now its different na.

 

I also remember MICAA (Manila Industrial-Commercial Athletic Association), the most dominant sa local tournaments.

 

Yco - Freddie Webb, Botchok delos Santos, Canent, Reyes, Tolentino

Yutivo - Melencio

Mariwasa - Sullano, Robinson, Rojas

Meralco - Presley, Arnaiz, Jaworski, Reynoso, Marquez, Mariano

San Miguel - Miego, Castello, Cuevas, Paner, Regullano, (forgot the long tom artist nila nun)

Squibb - Pribhdas, Otazu
