Two hit songs from my 80s adolescent hood for this Music Monday for me,yay!

 The Romantic's "Talking In Your Sleep" was a great hit in the summer of 1984. It was a crowd favorite and I wonder why it personally reminds me of Eat Bulaga's Little Miss Philippines contestant Glaiza Herradura, hmm, now there's another entry to blog about next time :)

"Take On Me" by A-ha is an incredibly awesome music video and a great hit also. It was in early 1985 that the music video was released and often requested on MTV and VH1

Enjoy!

Happy Monday, folks! I'm sharing Mitoy Yonting (with Lea Salonga and Vice Ganda)'s rendition of Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Mitoy is the winner in last night's VoicePH Grand Finals. He's a crowd favorite and the pride of Pangasinan. I don't know him personally but my close friend from Japan has had the privilege of meeting him at a party long before he became a celebrity on the VoicePH. Enjoy!


TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do... a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say... a total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

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..


     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..
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!
