storm Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment

Basta nag champion, guets ang buong team. Ang Toyota, ni minsan di man lang naimitahan. di kasi sponsor ang toyota kaya ganun.

Mandrake Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 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 dressedTV 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: Quote Link to comment
storm Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 He's also a veteran Beauty pageant host. His command of English was very good. The same with Ka Kiko Evangelista who also passed away. I wish I could speak like them. Quote Link to comment
