Wordless Wednesday Things From The 80s Part 1

5:29 PM | Labels: , , , , , ,



Reminiscing and reminiscing.. :)   Here are some of the 80s reminders from my kind of 80s life when I was a young kid up to my adolescence in the Philippines. Thanks again to Pinas Dekada 80 for the photos



                                            The payphone we used to drop 3 25c coins to make a call.

The friendship bracelets, or what we used to call the 'wish bonds' 'coz when it comes off on its own it meant your 3 wishes are granted :)

The Music Minus One Karaoke Tapes! My nephews and nieces had plenty of those so I got to sing along with them. My faves then were Home by Diana Ross, Copacabana by Barry Manilow and Don Mclean's American Pie.

 Flat tops chocolate candy! Yey! In 1986 this was a favorite, no wonder I gained a lot of weight.. hahaha!
One minute on the lips, forever on the hips..

Yes, Brown Cow too! It's our Pinoy version of the milkshake ....and my comfort drink

     The old version of NAIA, used to be called MIA. Going there meeting folks or sending them off was a pleasant experience for me, especially since we visitors still get to go inside the building during arrivals and departures..... the feeling of going there is the nearest to being in upstate New York..
 
The Regal Babies of the 80s. First from bottom row: 
Manilyn Reynes, Sheryl Cruz and Kristina Paner; second row: Arlene Muhlach, Nadia Montenegro, Jackielou Blanco and Gretchen Barretto; Top row: Janice De Belen and Maricel Soriano.
STOP! I'm still having a heart attack over this one! Robby Rosa from Menudo!

Join us on Wordless Wednesday and exchange pleasantries online :)
Thanks to fellow participants of the WW meme: 1. I spy a dragonfly eye!  2. Ann @ Such A Mama 3. Julie @ Momspective linky

Finding The Perfect Fragrance 80s Womens Perfume

10:57 PM | Labels: , , , , , , , , ,



PALOMA PICASSO For Women By PALOMA PICASSO Eau De Parfum Spray,3.4 Oz







 
Paris By Yves Saint Laurent For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 4.2 Oz. 



Beautiful By Estee Lauder For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 2.5 Ounces

  Halston 2 Pc. Gift Set ( Cologne Spray 1.7 Oz & Body Lotion 4.4 Oz)

Diva By Ungaro For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 Ounces


        You have to realize that finding the perfect fragrance for you is no easy task. You need to understand that a scent may be weak or strong. When we approach the perfume display centers most often the scent that we may whiff will be slightly different under a different condition. Inside the department store the smell of the different scents may be mixed or blended in the air we breathe. Also, we have to take into consideration the temperature and humidity level inside the controlled environment. A scent may appear to be weak or strong depending on the environment. The more aromatic compounds it contains the stronger the scent and the longer it will last.

       Eau de perfume contains the most aromatic compounds followed by eau de toilette and eau de cologne. Know what type of perfume that suits your skin type. Some people may have oily skin while others may have dry skin. A perfume that may smell good on you may not smell good when applied on your friend. The things you apply on your skin like lotion or oil may also affect the scent of the perfume. It is important that you try the perfume on your skin to find out if it suits your skin type. Try visiting retail shops and try the perfume on your skin. Let the fragrance stay on your skin if possible the whole day and check how it smells on you.

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 Zoom Global 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.

John En Marsha Sa Probinsya 1985

6:46 AM | Labels: , ,



John En Marsha Sa Probinsya is one movie from a series of movie sequels from the 80's comedy sitcom aired from the 70's up to 1990 starred by the comedy king, Dolphy, Nida Blanca, Matutina, Dely Atay-atayan, Rolly Quizon and Maricel Soriano.

In John en Marsha Sa Probinsya '85, John Puruntong (Dolphy) visits his ailing aunt in the country with the Puruntong family. The urban family get into a variety of comic situations living the rural life.

Watching this back then, our family can easily relate to the story  because of our provincial upbringing. The movie was fun in a slapstick comedy way, something that we surely miss nowadays because of Dolphy's demise a year ago. His kind of comedy is a rare find and one well-appreciated by the young and old alike.

Music Monday - Mr. Mister and Paul Young

4:00 PM | Labels: ,


A great Monday to all you folks! Just wanted to share this songs that I so miss though I'm not really a great fan. The acoustics and background music simply comfort me. With "Everytime You Go Away", I remember my mom used to joke it's a "scary" song as if you've been scammed by an overnight visitor.. because "everytime you go away,you take a piece of me with you" .. for whatever that meant I think I'm beginning to understand now :) I got to go out again for my massage class, will be back again soon! Happy MM!

Presenting "A Day In Life" my series of texts from my journals that I kept between the ages of 14 and 17. I'll be adding new entries every now and then to share all my thoughts, ideas,events, experiences, memories, ideas I had during the eighties. It is for my continued amusement that I read and reread my old journals, even when there isn't much content, I still gain occasional insight how I'm still in the process of changing to maturity. Most of the names have been changed to protect the people I recently found on Facebook. A few are just partial entries, my bleeping and blinding exclamations have been removed and some entries have been modified to give way to my now correct spelling and grammar. Yet the mix of excitement, melodrama and pleasant memories from the eighties are still much felt :)I hope, as you read my old journal with me, you enjoy the same sentiments.
