A classic poem from a classic movie from the 1970s:

 

When the Jews return to Zion,

And a comet fills the sky,

And the Holy Roman Empire rises,

Then you and I must die,

From the Eternal Sea he rises,

Creating armies on either shore,

Turning man against his brother,

Until man exists no more.

 

Recited so broodingly by Gregory Peck as he lay face down on a hotel bed.

Buhay pa ata si Ariel Ureta, Ms. SunflowR.  You might be thinking of someone else.  As to the FAT, tayo na lang atang tumatawag doon na Folk Arts Theater.  Iba na pangalan nun ngayon, pero nakakalimutan ko lagi kung ano.

FAT is now known as Tanghalang Francisco Balagtas. na-ingrained na sa isipan natin ang pangalang folk arts arts kasi ito na ang nakasanayan natin nuong 70s. I still remember the opening of the folk arts theater in 1974 for the venue of MISS UNIVERSE hosted by bob barker of 'the price is right' fame. minadali ni imelda ang paggawa ng folk arts theater, ms. margie moran won the title a year before (1973) sa athens, greece. the miss universe organizers decided to held the 1974 MU in the philippines...miss amparo munoz (miss spain) won the title. miss aruba was the more popular contestant back then....nagkaruon pa siya ng movie dito 'miss arruba went to town"

I still remember the restaurant at the side of the FAT. madalas kami magpalipas ng oras tuwing hapon duon ng aking ex-gf hanggat umabot na sa dilim. :evil: sarap!

That 1974 Miss U was one occasion where a judge was far more popular than most of the contestants. That judge was Jerry West. E dito pa naman sa PI, panatiko mga tao sa basketball. During those days, the NBA was not as popular in the States as it was over here. Dito, noong-noon pa iniidolo ang mga NBA stars. Kaya noong pinakilala si Jerry West, ang lakas ng palakpakan.

because of the miss universe fever hitting the country in 1974, HOTDOG composed an OPM classic "Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko".

Hello 70s. Matagal din akong hind nakakapaglog-in. Nakakairita na Destiny. Malamang lumipat na ko ng PLDT.

 

Hi Ms Sunflor (you really enjoy backreading)! Pati na sa yo Sundancer! Wow dalawa na ang sun natin ngayon d2!

 

Hindi lang ikaw ang madalas jan Pareng Ani. Madalas din kami jan noong college kami hanggang noong 80s. Kapag may concert noon, tumatambay lang kami sa labas ng FAT, bago tumuloy sa iba pang gimmick. Dinig naman sa labas ang tugtog kasi open air ang FAT. Favorite namin noon ay yung balot, chicharon at coke (hindi ako palainom ng beer) na nilalako ng mga vendors jan sa may breakwater.

 

Meron pa kong album ng Hotdog.

 

Napanood ko pa noon yung movie ni Ms Amparo Muñoz - Lolita. Mejo bold, may nudity sya roon. Ang ganda talaga nya.

wrong thread oops sorry

 

Para di OT

The 1974 Miss U that was held here was kinda jinxed. The winner, Amparo Muñoz (Miss Spain), gave up her crown because she wanted to get married. Ordinarily, the crown should have been passed on to the first runner-up. That was Helen Morgan (Miss Wales). But that same year, Helen Morgan won the Miss World crown. Next in line should have been Johanna Raunio (Miss Finland). But she also got married ... to a Filipino. I don't know if they were able to get in touch with Ella Cecilia Escandon (Miss Columbia) or Maureen Ava Viera (Miss Aruba). What I remember was that the 1975 Miss Universe did not have the traditional, final walk by the outgoing Miss U. At the time, we didn't know why. Of course, those were the martial law years when we all felt rather isolated. Most of our news came from local (censored) sources.

I don't recall Johanna Raunio getting married. I think the actor (then) Raul Roa had a brief relationship with her. But Maureen Ava Vieira did get hitched to a guy surnamed Ysmael. Di rin ata tumagal ang samahan nila.

I remember our Physics teacher Mr. Garcia, a bald wacky teacher in high school. sabi niya puro mga pinoy daw ang nakakadale at nakakayare ng mga Miss U contestant, sabi ibang bansa daw hindi daw pinapansin ang mga yan

[bods1000]

beginning with the first Miss U winner - napangasawa na agad ng Pinoy - the Hilario guy if I'm not mistaken...the most recent one being Ogie Alcasid who hooked the Ms Australia Michelle van Eimeren...

Jorge Araneta getting a Miss Colombia - Stella Ruiz...

...matutulis talaga ang mga Pinoy - tayo lang dito sa thread ang walang ma-hook na contestant

hi, idol storm, nice to see u here. yeah, i enjoyed back reading. 'am now in page 30. dalawa na kaming sun, kaya super liwanag na ung thread na ito. hehehe!

 

may nabasa ako tungkol kay ms. universe 74. siya raw ung ms. universe na hindi natapos ung reign at naging porn star. may frontal nude pic niya akong nakita doon sa site na yun. yun nga, nakagawa siya ng isang pelikula. tapos na involved siya sa isang slapping incident and scandal involving money.

 

may isang tao naman nagdepensa sa kanya na hindi naman daw totoo na porn star siya at nakagawa ng porn movie kundi isa siyang respected actress sa spain. may prob lang daw siya sa drugs and maraming siyang mga personal na mga probs. sabi pa ng nag depensa sa kanya, 15 days just after winning the title, ayaw na niya kaya lang na forced siyang hawakan ung title for 6 months. she won ms universe and renounced because of the way she was treated as an object. pissed off daw siya.

I believe that slapping incident and the money scandal happened here sa PI. She returned some years ago and made a movie with Gloria Diaz.

Ako may mga naidate na naging contestant! Hindi ko sasabihin kung sinu-sino. Meron pa nga akong tinanggihang i-date na naging runner-up sa Miss U. Hindi ko rin sasabihin kasi hindi ko siya type noon. Pero looking back sana di-nate ko siya.

 

What I really missed was being one of the escorts in the Miss Young International Pageant in 1979 which was held here in Pinas. I was sick then because of my allergic reaction to formalin (Zoology 102). Sayang daw talaga sabi nung nagrecruit sa amin, kasi I was supposed to be the escort of Miss Hawaii raw who eventually won the title. Siguro inaasar lang ako nun.
