Back To The 70's

[bathala]

"Toa, Tora, Tora" IMHO showed the capability of an asian country in defeating a major power like the US. Sa Pearl Harbor naman parng Titanic...merong love triangle, which really is very distracting....dun sa mga fight scenes...

It's not true that in the early 70s SURFSIDE MP along Roxas Blvd. was a sister school of LS-Taft where

many "Men from Leveriza" cross-enrolled on SEX101.

WHAT?!?!? SAY IT AIN'T SO?!? You mean to say that I did not earn any college credits from all the time I spent there?!? :boo: I feel so misled and used!

 

Para hindi OT, along the Roxas strip during the 70s, Romulus, Eduardo's and the Amihan were popular night clubs for people in power. Former Speaker Jose B. Laurel was even the target of an assasination attempt at the Amihan in the late 60s.

There was this gambling den my uncle brought me once near the area which is now Ms. Universe (Antipolo St., I think) where I chanced upon then famous haute cotourier Christian Espiritu and Sen. Ninoy Aquino with a couple of bodyguards. Speaking of Christian E., Lasallitas got a good discount from his shop located near St. Scho (if i remember right).

Padaan lang sa thread. Thanks for keeping us up sis Augustmoon.

 

'Twas a busy week. And I'm in the middle of something big. Parang thesis.

 

Today is the start of the BER months. Malapit na ang jingle bells.

 

In the 70s, jingle had a different meaning which are still understood at present.

 

JINGLE was a popular music magazine. We call the music in the ads as jingle.

 

Jingle has another meaning though which is "to pee".

 

"Basta driver, sweet lover. Jingle lang ang pahinga."

 

Conjugation of jingle: jumingle, kajijingle, jumijingle, jingle, jijingle.

 

O sige najijingle na ko.

[sundotkalikot]

damn i wish i was able to all these kaso 81 ako pinanganak.

Heard my first xmas carol yesterday. piped-in music at megamall. Talagang tinapat sa unang araw ng BER.

There'something about the BER months..last night the felt the wind was chilly-"er" na (?!!).

 

I remember the Christmas trees of my childhood in the 70's -- my Mom's choices of themes for a particular year was quite outrageous - of course ang center was always a MANGER. When it came to the Xmas trees naman, she ran the gamut of all types of Christmas tree - depende sa uso noon - One year it was the Reynolds-aluminum type of a tree...another year naman, the Tambo-walis dyed green type...one year year naman it was the Patpat-walis tingting in red..and at one time the dried twigs type in white (much like the ones you still see in Roxas Blvd.) nakakahilo...Our Christmas balls were the fragile made in Japan types which according to my Mom cost as fortune, while our Christmas lights were the flickering ones na may music pa. Right after All Saints Day we would turn on the multi-colored Christmas BULBS all around the house...Hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin alam kung ano ang significance at symbolism na pinalilibuton ng ilaw ang roof na bahay tuwing pasko.

 

The best Xmas decor-related memory I have is when we (the neighborhood kids - we were then aged 2 - 11 and were a big group of about 18++ kids) tried to make a live MANGER in our 1974 annual street Xmas party with all of us playing a part (they added parts just to give every body a role) - good thing one of the parents took a picture of the tableau ..we are all adults now - and all have become accomplished in their fields as professionals, academics, businessmen, artiste-celebre, technocrats, politicians.. looking at the picture (which we all have a copy of) the roles we played (and some fought over) then reflects what we will become in the future...Of course, I didnt play the role of VIRGIN MARY. I was the cow. :-) The politicians (one Local and the other of National importance (?) had the role of the Donkey(s). Hehehehe.

 

Merry X'mas.

Pareng Storm,

 

Kumusta ka na? I also miss Big 20 Burger on Escolta. Malapit sa babaan ng Love Bus on that street. Masarap iyong burger nila even though it was a bit pricey during that time. During the 70s, my favorite burgers were Tropical Hut and Big 20.

Anyone remember the ROBOTIC show in COD ?

 

People, check out FHM issue this month Sept 06, all about 70's.
