Back To The 70's

3) Hop on the bus, Gus, you don`t need to discuss much

 

Mahirap itong quiz ni Pareng Pinoy...most of the songs that I do know, nasagutan na. But from the list, I will have to say that 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon left the most impression on me not so much for the lyrics (defensive!) but more for the beat.

Thanks for the greeting Pareng Storm! Dami mo yatang supply ng flowers para sa amin mga August celebrants (or is it celebrators?). Thank you!

 

Which reminds me, wala pang ATOM (August Twenty-One Movement) during the 70's. Just this...

 

"Do you remember.... araw ni Makoy.... September, araw ng pasko....December" by EWF

 

how 'bout this guys? (no offense meant; just checking if it rings a bell)

 

to the tune of "so happy together":

kahit gutay-gutay wag lang patay . . .

 

(nakalimutan ko na karugtong. pakituloy sa nakakaalam)

I dined at Ma Mon Luk last weekend .....

... Mami and siopao ... the stuff is very much home made ....

 

not like we see nowadays in fastfood shops using powdered boths and machine-made pao's

Looking around their resto ... you can see much of 70's memorabilla

2) She said, 'I'm home on shore leave, though in truth we were at sea

(Whiter Shade of Pale, Procul Harum)

 

That song first came out in '66. It was still being played a lot in the 70's though.

 

Anyway......happy b'day to you too, Ms. Liberty!

No, the school I was in did not use that book in my early elementary years.

 

Instead, we used a book that featured three blonde Filipino kids named John, Jean, and Judy who had a dog named Spot.

Yup! That's what I remember.

WHAAAAAAAT?

 

 

 

If I felt may amats na, I stopped. Okay na ko. Masaya na.

 

When I say Disco kid, I meant laman ng Disco at least 3 times a week. We practice dancing pa almost everyday.
