For sure dadaanan mo itong Magnolia Plant (ice cream) in Manila 1973

 

Can anyone identify the model/make of the taxi in the picture?

 

 

 

I remember that Magnolia plant na yan...staple venue yan sa mga field trips namin noon sa grade school yan, yearly lagi kami naandyan...of course we all look forward to it, you get free ice cream and you can eat all u want at may take-out pa...

 

haay the memories of my youth... :evil:

Hi Liberty :)

 

Ako rin.... happy na ako just to be in Cubao. My mom used to have her hair permed and styled in BENY's Beauty parlor (which took forever). Whenever she took me with her, she would let me and our househelp roam around the area. Pasyal kami sa lahat ng tindahan na malapit (wala pa noong AliMall) - Shoemart (1 level bldg pa lang ito - may basement at mezanine then); Aguinaldo's, Rempson at Syvel's. One time nga, nakita ko pa si Rosemarie Sonora sa Syvels for a pictorial para sa calendar where she was beside a Xmas tree made of shoes (?!)

 

Doon ko na experience ang FIRST shopping ko as a "little adult" when my mom allowed me to buy my first party outfit para sa kauna-unahang soiree / party ko when i was in grade 7. My attire (personally picked by me, but styled by our fashion-forward househelp (??!!) ) consisted of a a Yellow "Popcorn (what they call then)" body fitting blouse that had ruffles and a big BUTTERFLY print in front (P 18) ......bell bottom high waisted "Katsa" pants na tadtad ng maliliit na butterfly patches (P 35) ......2 inch beige strappy clogs na parang greek sandal (On sale for P15) violet 1/4 inch na belt to cinch the waist; (P 5) beige "kastsa"hobo bag na may butterfly patches (din) and for accessories ( P 12) , a violet velvet choker na may pendant na butterfly din (P 8) - the cost was less than Php 100.00 !!!!

 

Hehehe. Ang mura talaga noon.

 

Nawala na ang Syvel's, Rempson, Assanda's and COD in Cubao. Ganoon din ang New Frontier and Nation Supercinerama. Meron pa bang Avesco?

 

When I was in high school, favorite kong shirts were white munsingwear grandslam (penguin logo), Fred Perry (laurel wreath logo) and Izod Lacoste (blue or green croc logo) na stripes. Prices ranged from P 50 - P 60. Even cheaper if you bought them in Nepo Mart or Dau in Pampanga.

 

Now the original Fred Perry shirt is priced around P4k + in Homme et Femme, Shangri-La Plaza.

 

In the late 70s, prices went up to P 90 - P 120. The Bjorn Borg Fila was the most popular which was sold around P 300 -P 350. The original French Lacoste classic which was and still is my favorite was only P 150 then and US$ 60 at DFP now.

 

My first French Lacoste (1977) was a size 1 sky blue which I got for P 120 in Keri-Ol, Ali Mall. My mom then bought 2 shirts for me for Christmas (a maroon and a white). Uso noon ang tight fitting. In 1979, I grew up to size 2. My biggest lacoste was a size 6 (mid 90s) and I'm a happy size 3 now.

 

Have a nice weekend folks.

Ha ...

TOTO ung sinasabi mo

 

Indeed when Toto (the father) of the "Toto and his children" retired

 

they still continued the group as "And His Children"

 

Di ba Toto's Children na lang sila later?

 

"TOTO"--sagot sa trivia sa Jingle Magazine na: "Anong banda ang walang anak?"......

 

 

"TOTO and his Children" -- 1/3 sa sagot naman sa trivia na: "Sino ang tatlong pinakamdaming guesting sa Seeing STars with Joe Quirino?"

 

Sino yung dalawa pa?

^TUMPAK!!!

 

Linggo linggo halos guest ni JQ yan.

 

Isa pang paborito niya, Crispa Redmanizers. Basta nag champion, guets ang buong team. Ang Toyota, ni minsan di man lang naimitahan.

 

 

 

di kasi sponsor ang toyota kaya ganun. Kaya gusto ni JQ yung crispa, basta may guest sya na lalaki , at least mabibigyan nya ng T-shirt o kaya brief na redmanized. :boo:

Veteran TV host, singer, actor EDDIE MERCADO passed away Monday, 18 Sept. 2006.

I'd always remember him as the local Frank Sinatra of the 70s and one of the best dressed

TV hosts during his heydays.

 

He'd usually crack corny jokes together with another TV host, Joey Lardizabal, but together

their command of the English in the airwaves is flawless. :cool:
