Back To The 70's

pareng anaheim, ok yung mga pix ko ng avenida. can't even recognize it. i remember yung sidewalk on both sides from carriedo to recto were made of small colored tiles. di ba dati sa dulo ng escolta bago dumating sa sta. cruz church, on the fringes of that bldg on the right. may nagbebenta ng mga puppy?

bos anaheim, alam ko meron sa cubao deeco inside farmer's plaza. max price is 1500 pero electown na lang ang available na brand. good brand though, pinoy made and deeco warranty kaya medyo safe bilhin. been using mine since 1998 when I had that same urge to review the 60s and 50s vinyl records my mum brought back from the states.

[Anaheim]

I plan to watch it within the week.

 

If you were to rate it objectively, do you think it was a good film? If I were not a Filipino, would the movie sustain my interest?

pareng dekampanilla, it was highly rated by foreign critics. it even won best cinematography at the Sundance film festival in Utah (yung kay robert redford).

thanks, pareng robbietan. hanapin ko sa farmers baka weekend. mga vinyl records ko mga pirated din galing thailand...minana ko sa lolo ko nuong nagpunta siya ng thailand early 70s. I got the soundtrack of Midnight Cowboy ang putla ng kulay yung cover...pirated kasi. rampant din ang piracy nuon late 60s nag start sa vinyl record.

yup pareng sally, i remember sa escolta yung THE CACTUS :evil:

[robbietan]

that puppy for sale bldg. used to be the prudential bldg. I believe

buhay pa ang syvel's and sunburst fried chicken noon sa escolta

pareng bods1000, please do try to find one.. tell me the location and the price. thanks pre'. ganyan daw pag middle age na...hinahanap mga old 'memories'

I will, pare! Parang may nakita ako dati sa Makati Cinema Square. But do you know what? I can't remember where I saw this - pero most of the turntables on sale now - since they know that those who buy turntables are true audiophiles - are of the high-end types. What I saw was a Bang & Olufsen and I think it's price tag was in the area of P30,000+! PEro the best talaga ang B & A.

 

MIddle age ba? Who's middle age?

[bods1000]

Malayo sa akin kasi I live in QC (between UP and Batasan) but I'll be in Intramuros on Tuesday. FYI

ok daw kasi dun sa Baywalk ba yon? Right beside Manila Bay may mga promenade where we can hang out. I don't know. Some other time pare kung kelan ka pwede. Ako din naman I live somewhere in the East eh...

[bods1000]

pareng anaheim, ok pa kaya yang mga LPs mo? As long as they're not warped pwede pa yan. Kung madumi you just wash it under a slow running tap water and wash it with a gentle soap and parang bago na uli yan.

yup, here's a photo of sakbayan

 

He he he! Ito yung sasakyang pinaakyat nila sa hagdanan ng Post Office to prove it's strength. Luckily nakaakyat naman!

Prudential building, the puppy-for-sale building since the 70's is now a supermarket. Parang South supermarket. Mga 4 years ago, nakabili pa ako dito ng mistisong askal for 300 pesos.

sa naalala ko...hygiene products na gamit ng tatay ko...Tancho Pomade chaka Veto Cream Deodorant

 

Yeah. Tancho pomade, sa Mercury Drug ako bumibili nito ngayon. Veto (If it's you they're talking about!), matagal na yatang wala nito.

Eh yung Charlie-ng Balakubak? Guard commercial ba to?

Went to Raon , can't find a working vinyl record player....bought pirated DVDs instead.

ewan ko kung buhay pa siya, pero there used to be an audio shop sa timog near the corner of morato. it's in front of that grocery where everyone buys blue seal cigarettes and right before the gas station if you're coming from west ave. but as bods said, your best bet might be makati cinema square sa basement. it may be a long shot, pero you may also want to drop by bangkal and check out the segunda mano shops there.
