I love the 80's perfumes as well as the new scents we have out in the market. Perfumes are really my thing and what I found awesome right after I wrote this article in 2013 is that there is a networking company here in the Philippines that sells a variety of perfumes for men and women. One perfume I really like from that has that 80-ish fragrance is Ascento Parfum VIII similar to Lacoste Pink. This is how my favorite pink Charmis cologne used to be, yey! Ascento Parfum VIII has top and base note of blood orange, coriander, jasmine, violet, sandalwood and vanilla. Costs only Php399.00 SRP. This is also a perfume business :)
(A Not So ) Wordless Wednesday - A Mother's Day Photo Tribute To My Mom
Above: The pretty lady at the office
Above: A photo of my mom during her early years working abroad. I believe, this photo was taken somewhere in Europe. The girl with her is the daughter of her colleague at the Philippine Embassy.
Photo above: taken in December 1973, in the province, when our family visited the Philippines as returning visitors at town homecoming.
Above: when our relatives and I visited her at the hospital, this was probably taken months later after my father and grandmother died, that is, after the car accident in 1974.
Above: Photo taken with my mom when I was 7 years old in Makati, Manila
Photo above: 1979 me with my mom and grandpa, with us are distant relatives grandma Mina and the cute little girl, Juris. ~I must've been acting up here to make the little girl smile for the camera :D
Above: 1982. Me with my mom and my nephew and nieces. I was 12 years old by this time. (standing from left to right ) my mom, me, Faye, and Olive. Also with us is Bacon, their older brother and another niece
from the UK, Christina.
Photo above: June 1988, my mom with my 'big sister-cousin' Ate Edith. This photo was taken in Manila about the time we were residing in Makati while I was going to university.
These are just a few of my most cherished photos of my mom. There are times I miss her a lot. Every Mother's Day, I think about the sacrifices she has done for me. She was all I had then, and I was her only child. I am thankful for her love and guidance especially during my formative years...

Scent Nostalgia - Perfumes From The 80s
When someone walks past, or stands next to me and smells of an 80's perfume I am familiar with, I feel like going back in time and feel nostalgic over something I can't quite put a name to. And I wonder if the familiar 80's perfume I miss is still sold somewhere and where I can buy it. It's been two decades, and a huge number of new scents introduced in the market every year that some of the 80's perfume scents are left on the back shelf or even on storage. Some, I think, may have been off the market for a long time or may be phased out.
Well, let me jog your memory and mine, here's a partial list of the perfumes from the 80s that I love! And the good news is that these 80s perfumes are still sold by reputable online stores.
ANAIS ANAIS CACHAREL 3.4 oz /100ml Women Eau de Toilette New
Anais Anais Perfume by Cacharel is a scent my big sister- cousin love. She wore it during the office days. I think she got it as a present from a relative abroad, maybe Australia. Occasionally, I would try wearing Anais Anais perfume when I'm off-school and going out with friends. The scent reminds me of fresh cut flowers from Baguio City.
Calvîn Kleîn Obsessiōn Perfúme For Women Eau De Parfum Spray + a FREE Perfume
Obsession Perfume by Calvin Klein is the kind I didn't have personally but only through friends and relatives who have it and share. I love the scent, it's kind of heavy with a mysterious touch.
Coco Chanel Perfume for Women Eau De Parfum Spray
Chanel Created Coco Perfume In 1984. It Is The Result Of The Following Top Fragrance Notes: Mandarin, Pimento And Coriander. The Middle Notes Are: Rose, Carnation And Cinnamon And The Base Of The Fragrance Is: Amber Vanilla And Honey. Coco Chanel Perfume Is Labeled As A Classic Fragrance.
A particular perfume can also make us feel good and more confident about ourselves, making us feel positive and having the ability to attract friendship and love. Indeed, scents and fragrances often bring back old memories and the emotions associated with it. :) But for most of us, it is still the fragrance that matters on why we choose to wear a particular scent. In the end it is a matter of how we want to project ourselves.
Primo! Spray Cologne was one of my most favorite for all time. Thanks to a schoolmate-friend at St. Paul's College Manila who introduced the perfume to us young ladies. The fragrance reminds me of strong-scented flowers in mid-spring to summer.
Christian Dior Women's Poison Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4 fl. oz.
Poison Perfume by Christian Dior is a classic favorite by the college school girls and the office ladies. It was pricey, I remember costing as much as one thousand pesos a bottle but it was worth it. The scent is romantic with a hint of berries and spices.

Music Monday - If You're Not Here Fabiana Monero and Charlie Masso
I'm back!!! I missed Music Monday for a week because I was working on other quick online income that I really had to do while I wait for my blog to become a hot page ... hahahaha .... kidding! ;-) Okay, so my intentions for the beginning of the week was to blog about the perfumes that I miss from the 80s, which led me to think of any song that talks about perfume in the lyrics. I was all ready on google search when the lyrics "I need your tender kisses .. the feel of your hands, your caress... your perfume has me burnin' .. my heart's yearning to touch you, I need you so much" rang in my head. And I exclaim ..of course! those lyrics came from the song from my Fairytale Dreams, a song I know so well by Robby Rosa of Menudo : "If You're Not Here (By My Side)"!!
Well, here's what I'm sharing today, a newer version of "If You're Not Here" performed by the child wonder Fabiana
80's Movie Meme - Some Kind Of Wonderful 1987
Some Kind Of Wonderful 1987 was one of the movies I watched in 1988 when it was shown on the local theaters in Manila. I was in first year college then at an all-girls school. A college friend recommended this movie to us, saying that "it was very touching" So I went to see the movie, I think - together with my "big sister" cousin Ate Edith, at the Quad Cinema in Makati. It sure was fun and romantic! :)
Some Kind Of Wonderful was another movie hit produced by John Hughes. Starred by Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart-Masterson, Lea Thompson, Craig Sheffer, Elias Koteas ( the punk friend of Watts), Chynna Phillips and even the young Jane Elliot and Candace Cameron were in it!
There were some parts in the movie that I found quite challenging to do, like hanging out with the Class A group and still get better grades. As I watch the movie again, because I am now a parent, I love the father's zest to send his son off to college by encouraging him to save money aside for his college tuition. Quite smart move :)
