Back To The 70's

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....

 

Game 1 sa ilalim ng goal, and I'm pretty sure nadinig ni Wilson yung mga expletives ko hehe, Game 3 sa likod ng Beda bench, katabi namin si Sudan...cant wait for Season85 man ! Nasa Mendiola ka after? 2AM and the party was still on, so the cops arrived....hala....pina shot ng Beda boys, nakisali sa inuman ang mga pulis ! Whatta' night.

 

Yung New Frontier actually ang walang pagbabago. Bulok pa rin. If I'm not mistaken, the very first McDonald's was there. Mga 1981 my then GF forced me to watch Dina Bonnevie's first movie "Katorse" in New Frontier. Nation theater naman was where I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. Having watched it many times as an adult, I still don't understand that movie until now. Can you imagine my confusion watching it in 1969? Meron dun Funhouse dati, the ancestor ng mga Time Zone. The Towering Inferno, sa Quezon theater. The original Death Race : 2000, sa Coronet ko sana papanuorin, bwisit - For Adults Only, d ako pinapasok ! Wala naman akong sedula. :grr:

 

Well, Araneta isn't exactly the same anymore what with Gateway now protruding from its side. Reminds me of Seth Brundle fused to the Transporter Pod (I am of course referring to "The Fly" 1986 version). At saka wala na yung original National Book Store sa ground floor.

This is the first time in the Finals na for all three games, the best seats I could get were lower box. Mabuti pa nung '06 and '07 parating patron. Anyway, basta manalo. No, I didn't go to Mendiola because I have a 7am meeting the next day and wanted to avoid staying up late. If you've been watching the games regularly, then there's a good chance we've actually seen each other. Baka nga magkakilala pa tayo! Hahaha!

 

SM Cubao, ganun pa rin. Ali Mall, iba na rin.

 

Favorite naming tambayan noon yung Coronado Lanes sa taas ng dating Rustan's at tsaka yung Shakey's sa Ali Mall.

 

Geez! It must have been more than a decade since I've been inside Ali Mall! These days, ang madalas ko na lang napupuntahan sa Cubao (aside from Araneta of course) is AutoCentro for car accessories and P.Tuazon for mags and tires.

 

Alam ko since magsimula ako mapahilig sa kotse nung '80s, may Auto Centro na. At ang P.Tuazon, bilihan na talaga ng gulong at mags. Ganun na rin ba nung '70s? (Sorry, I was still too young to drive back then ala pa ko kotse nun. Hehehe)

Yung P Tuazon, noon pa pero mukhang 80s na yung Auto Centro. Banawe pa talaga noon basta car accessories. Malapit lang AutoCentro sa Ali Mall and sa Cubao Shoe Xpo. May masarap na batchoyan sa Ali Mall ngayon.

 

Minsan EB tayo sa Cubao Shoe Xpo. Maraming okay na place ngayon dun. Paggaling ng leg ko pwede na ko.

Nasimulan mo na rin ang usapang car accessories, malamang ay alam ninyo lahat ang "stereo" na ito:

Pioneer KP5 or KP 500 yata or basta de relos! Ganyan din yung una kong sounds sa Beetle namin na tinernuhan ko ng Oval speakers at the back tapos may PT6 tweeter sa ilalim ng dashboard and coax sa side. Tapos nilagyan ko pa ng proline na equalizer. Ayuss!

Tumpak mga kapatid.....separate bass and treble controls made it the car stereo to own.

 

Digging deeper into the past, mga jeep nung araw patong patong mga 8-track cartridge sa dashboard so they drive looking through a narrow slit.

 

I had friends in HS who would say they'd intoxicate themselves with high-inducing subtances and ride these jeepneys and mini-buses with "cool sounds" on a trip going nowhere. Haay buhay nga naman.

one of the best dang vehicle sound component ever available here. and incredibly rugged.

 

I remember them jeepney drivers stacking those 8 track tapes at 6 pcs on their "dashboards".

 

one of the bad macoy decisions is to ban them..

A slight corection, pareng slider. The first Mcdo was on Morayta near Recto.

 

Hi to all the 70s people. Been very busy these past three weeks writing stuff. Congrats to the Bedans for the 3-peat. Attended a very muddy bonfire last Wednesday at ADMU to celebrate the double championship. It seems many of SBC's high school players (Casio, Revilla, etc.) are highly prized recruits of ADMU and DLSU. Same with Baste (Buenafe, Salamat, etc.). Only goes to show that their HS basketball programs are good. Am sad though that UP, my college alma mater, did not do too well this year. I thik it will take another trio of Paras, Magsanoc and Altamirano to do the trick.

 

Hope we'll all see each other for an EB soon!
