Back To The 70's

[oscartamaguchiblackface]

The best shooters back then included William Adornado, Jun Papa, Atoy Co, and Danny Florencio. In a game between a PBA selection and the champion North Carolina Wolfpack NCAA team in the mid-70's the Wolfpack's star player, David Thomson had nothing but praise for Danny Florencio's skills. He was interviewed by a magazine and I remember Thomson saying that Danny Florencio was very "gutsy." Danny Florencio stood only 5'10 but his leaping ability was phenomenal. I once saw him going for a lay-up during a practice game and his hand was way over the ring as he effortlessly dropped the ball into the ring. I wonder why he just didn't dunk the ball.

 

And to think Michael Jordan idolized David Thompson when he was growing up.

There's a very nice youtube video posted by bro Muttley in the JPE sub-forum in the Politics, Economy and Current Events section. It's about a jingle from 1971 with Nora Aunor endorsing the then senatorial bid of JPE. Sure brought back some memories from that period.

 

Bro Muttley, you may want to re-post that jingle here in this forum. After all it is from the 70's

The late Pepe Pimentel used to describe the DM Transit bus as "DiMonyong Transit" bus.

 

Speaking of Tito Pepe, he was one of the most popular TV personalities back in the 70's - perhaps even more than the 60's when he was co-hosting Student Canteen. Apart from "Kuarta O Kahon," he was also the host of the TV program Clubhouse 9 - a kiddie game show where the famous line..."ready...set...go--to..." was immortalized...

I remember these buses. The engine was located up front as opposed to buses today where the engines are typically mounted at the rear.

For persons in their late 40's onwards, who could forget these classic tv shows?

Who among the "Young Once" can possibly forget these jingles? The last time they aired was also probalby the last time I heard this. Until today. Just goes to show that our brains have a very large capacity for random access. Imagine all those memories buried deeply in our sub-conscious and when it is triggered by video clips like these, the memory which has been locked up in the sub-conscious for decades all of a sudded are brought to the surface. It's truly amazing how the human brain works.

So definitely true. Other things that can trigger old memories are scents, old photos (like the one in Bro Muttley's post), and certain foods/drinks.

With the passing of typhoon Yolanda yesterday, I am reminded of typhoon Yoling, another very powerful typhoon which hit Metro Manila directly on November 19, 1970, almost 43 years to the day Yolanda hit the Visayas islands.
