storm Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Paangat naman. Malapit na ang Fiesta season. 30 years ago, kapag bakasyon --- Baguio. Ngayon, ang dami ng options. Medyo OT pero 1981 nang una akong nakapunta sa Bora. Rustic na rustic pa ang lugar. :cool: Quote Link to comment
willow_boy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 On the political front, I remember taking part in the noise barrage of 1978 in support of Ninoy Aquino and the opposition candidates for the Batasan. Maingay sa neighborhood namin and inspite of that, according to Leonardo Perez's Comelec, the opposition got 0 (ZERO) votes in our area! :thumbsdownsmiley: What a bunch of crooks! Pero the following are things I enjoyed doing then:1. Playing at the Rizal Park's playground2. Going to some not-so-fancy beaches in Cavite and Batangas (kahit na maraming dikya sa tubig)3. Upon the start of the school year (after the end of summer vacation), making fun of classmates na hindi pa nag-patuli. Quote Link to comment
storm Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Welcome to the thread willow boy. Noong 70s sikat ang mga beaches like Tali Beach, White Sands and Matabungkay. The best para sa akin noon ang Hundred Islands. :thumbsupsmiley: Uso rin noon ang Makiling, Pansol and Pagsanjan. Kapag Mayo oks din ang Hinulugang Taktak sa Antipolo. :cool: Quote Link to comment

KayaK Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Bang Bang & Faded Glory jeans ang pumalit sa double knit pants at wet-look polo shirts. Super flair ang laylayan ng pantalon na hindi na makita ang paa kahit suot na sapatos ay clogs sa kapal ng swelas at takong. Tapos long hair. This style is best seen if one sees old posters of the Boyfriends or VST & Co. So ubiquitous pa sa lansangan ng manila ang mga red wooden bus ng JD Transit. Kung dilaw naman eh De Dios Transit. DMG ang local assembler ng VW Beetles at ang assembly plant nila ay ang naging violago complex sa E. Rodriques next to de los santos hospital. Malawak at open lawn pa ang harap ng Stella Maris college along Aurora Blvd. sa cubao. Along with New Frontier Cinema ay meron ding New Frontier supermarket sa Araneta Center. Tapos ng mawala, biglang sikat naman ang Queens supermarket chain of stores. Quote Link to comment
