Back To The 70's

[maxiev]

I clearly remember getting into fist fights with some of my classmates. The fights usually ended in a draw. Mahirap lang pag yung kalaban ko ay may restback. Then I'd be facing 5 maybe 6 other guys. Buti nalang I had my own restback.

In the 70s, summer is not complete if there's no trip to Baguio. Now, it's Boracay.

I don't think Boracay even existed as a tourist destination in the '70s

Does anyone know if this peso bill was still legal tender in the early 70's?

Naalala ko yung Jingle Magazine na may kasamang Guitar Chord book. Diyan ako natutu mag gitara. Self-taught courtesy of Jingle magazine.

Some of my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoons I liked watching from the 70's are now available on DVDs. Actually these were available on YouTube just several months ago but I guess they've since been removed.

Wait 'till your Father Gets Home:

I liked Wait 'till your Father Gets Home. It was basically a cartoon but with adult humor. It used satire to poke fun at the youth, the American fear of communism, and the general day to day life of the average American family in the 70's. I remember Tom Bosley as the iconic voice of Harry Boyle.

What I really miss about the 70s was being physically active in all types of sports. From basketball, to swimming, bowling, target shooting, track and field, table tennis, weight lifting, work-outs like push-ups, sit-ups, etc. biking, etc.

 

Now the only exercise I do is brisk walking. I'm probably 60 lbs heavier today than I weighed in the early 70's

Enjoyed go-carting at the Ram-Rod circuit along C5. Lots of fun especially when racing with the barkda.

Yeah I think I remember that race circuit. It's now a chapel dedicated to St. Padre Pio. Ramon Rodriguez (Ram-Rod) is a devotee.

I miss the weekly family get-togethers. On Saturdays we'd be with my cousins on my dad's side of the family. On Sundays, with my cousins on my mom's side. Today, out family get-togethers are very rare except to commemorate the death of an uncle or an aunt.

Flooding in the metro reminded me of Gloring in the 70s

I think it's a lot worse today. Flooding happens on a daily basis because of the southwest monsoon.

Gloring was worst in the 00s. ZTE scandal, fertilizer scam, just to name a few that contributed to unabated flooding. (flooding of tears from jun lozano included)

70s was when hotels had discos - 1571 in Manila Hilton, Stargrazer in Silahis Hotel, Where Else in Hotel Intercon and equally famous discos Flames along Roxas Blvd, Another World along Makati Ave.....to name a few I remember.
