Back To The 70's

[storm]

Pls check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_...tball_champions

 

Mas maraming championships ang Ateneo Seniors in the NCAA vs, La Salle (14 vs. 5). Pero sa UAAP, mas marami ang Lasalle, 7 vs. 3.

 

Total championships in both NCAA and UAAP: ADMU - 17, DLSU - 12.

 

Difference lang ng rivalry nung 70s, may chain-link fence between the fans of the two opposing teams di ba?

 

Tapos grabe ang batuhan, rumble at basagan ng windhsield ng mga kotse.

 

Di ba SBM and 16track?

 

Kumusta na kayo dyan? Long time no post ako sa 70s.

 

Naalala ko kayong lahat nung nakita ko isang USB turntable na ikakabit sa PC tapos automatic conversion to MP3 files ang LP while u are playing the LP. Medyo mahal nga lang $200+.

 

Mabuhay kayong LAHAT, mga teenagers nung 70s na tanders na ngayon! :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Okay iyanng turntable na iyan ah! Musta na pareng Pinoy? Saan kayo ngayon? Regards to Augustmoon.

As for the Cojuangco boys-- that is true as well as Danding ( an alumni ) became involved with the basketball program and thus started bringing with him his bodyguards. Those bodyguards all had Blue Capped Ball pens inside their shirt pockets as some sort of ID for them.

 

Danding, of course, was also part-Bedan (GS) although he is without doubt more green than red. Actually, the Cojuangco clan is divided. The Cojuancos of PLDT (Tonyboy, Choy and Mikey) are Ateneans.

 

Anyway, that's why Rizal Coliseum installed those chicken wire fences to separate the crowds. But outside the venue, the Metrocom just had to do their best. You remember "What shall we do when we all go out?...." usually chanted just before the games end?

Doing well bro!

 

Wow! Steve Miller and the Joker! Haven't heard that one in a long long time.

I have a copy of that album but it's in LP form pa. heheh.

 

Yup! Still planning ion goin for the biz. So far, on schedule pa naman ako as I wanted to get rid of all my Credit Card payments first in order to start fresh. If al falls right, then it will happen 2009.

 

When you're free, let's have lunch? We're in the same area, right?

 

Cheers!

I am doing fine, however I'm in Canada now, drumming up some biz for our recruitment agency. I'll be back this December before Chhristmas. So lunch tayo pagdating ko. Kita tayo for sure. Uy malapit na ang 2009. Hope you set up your biz and it becomes successful. :thumbsupsmiley:

Paeng Storm, nasa Saskatoon, Canada ako ngayon- magtatatlong buwan na. Si Mareng Augustmoon nandyan pa rin. Hehehe buhay binata ako dito. Gumiginaw na nga eh. Walang kaakap. pero alam mo naman :hypocritesmiley: tayo dito. EB tayo pag uwi ko. masarp mag EB ng December.

LSS today.

Heard this one while driving to work this morning:

 

I always thought the girl in that movie was quite pretty.

 

=======================================

 

What would they say if we up and ran away

From the roaring crowd

And the worn out city faces

Would they carry on and on

When they found out we were gone

Or would they let us go

Would they tag along or would they just...

Leave us alone, wed live in the country

Leave us alone, wed make it just fine

Happy in a one-room shack

And wed not look back

Now would we

What would they do if they found out we were through

With the little lies and the downtown aggravations

That we traded them away for a quiet country day

That we had hoped to share

Would they try to find out where we were, or...

What would they say if we up and ran away

these "bodyguards" were actually farm boys & men (sacadas) bussed all the way fr tarlac to rizal memorial on that fateful day sometime aug 1980 (if i recall)...they are easy to spot because most if not all of them wore sandals in addition to their blue ballpens on their ragged shirts.. tagged as the "ballpen brigade", they occupied most of the bleacher section of la salle...when the rumble started my old man and i at the box section of la salle waited for more than 2hrs before we left for home...dat memory of a letranista in the reserved section being mugged by these sacadas still lingers in our minds whenever we talkd about it...if i see that photo again in the internet ill post it here...but that happend in the 80s.

bata pa ni john travolta noon. puidi na ring i-replay ang movie today as he story is about a kid who was born with a disease very much like AIDS

saw that movie sevral times sa tv back in late 70s pa.

madalas magpalabas rpn 9 ng mga made-for-tv movies and this was one of them.

nice story.

 

sa ending eventually John one morning risked going out of his bubble and try to see what its like to live a normal life, outside his artificial environment. doctors said that he wouldn't live for a few seconds outside that bubble.

 

he survived

R.I.P. -- Paul Newman

 

Loved him in THE STING (1973), w/R. Redford

[bods1000]

funny how some memory sticks out. Of all the films Paul Newman did, what sticks in my memory was when I saw him in HOMBRE in that old Pasig theater way way back in the old 70s hehehe...

[storm]

Mine is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" with Katharine Ross and Robert Redford.

 

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head with Newman on his bike flirting with La Ross. :cool:

A couple of days back I was in Cubao to watch the San Beda JRU Finals at the Araneta. As per usual custom I would park in Gateway with some time to spare so I took the extra time to stroll around my old 70s stomping grounds and see how it has evolved.

 

I went to Aurora Blvd to see if my favorite theatres were still there. I refer to Remar, Diamond and Coronet (hindi Coronet Inn ha, iba yun). In the old days, if there was a cool movie to watch (anything with Charlton Heston in it), chances are it would be showing in any of theose 3 moviehouses. Alas, all three were gone.

 

A lot of the old familiar places are gone (except for New Frontier). No more Nation theatre, Quezon theatre, Fiesta Carnical, C.O.D. One thing I noticed though. Even if most of the familiar facades are gone, regardless of where I was standing, I had an instinctive awareness of exactly where I was. Maybe it was all those years spent hanging out there that permanently etched a geographical awareness in my psych (same thing with Greenhills).

 

Alas I had to cut my memory stroll short because walking around is hell on the lungs. The diesel fumes were simply too over-powering.

[gumshoe]

the boy in the plastic bubble,,that was the title of that movie

 

a lit'l bit of trivia: the actress who played john's mom was actually his real-life girlfriend..who eventually died of cancer

Nandun ka? Di tayo nagkita? I was wearing red.... (Yeh right, like that helps! Hahaha)

 

The one thing that hasn't changed about Cubao is the Araneta Coliseum. Exactly how it was and how I remember it to be the first time I saw it... even Farmers Market is no longer the same (parang lumiit?). Pati yung mga tindahan ng mga halaman sa tabi ng Farmers parang kumonti na rin.

 

Matagal na rin wala yung Spice of Life....
