I Miss You Very Much, My Dear Blog!

Here again,yey! And I miss you my dear blog, so so much that seeing the blog layout on my screen makes me want to hug and kiss you! haha

Hi again, all friends! It's been a long while of me not posting 80s stuff lately as I've been busy with life itself trying to earn a living offline. Network marketing and more trainings took my sched.

Sometime in November-December last year though, I've been having all these happy thoughts, talk about throwback, nostalgia and more! Craving positivity at it's finest, so to speak. OH, if people had known where I spent my quiet moments those months. Sometimes I was at the local park, the beach, the library or even on a public jeepney ride with my own thoughts. I have so many dreams, so many wishes wanting to be fulfilled especially this year! I know and I am sure all will work out better in the end when I get to change my way of thinking. If I can think how I thought or pondered on issues during the 80's, all my dreams, all my desires will be fulfilled. Yes, maybe more so if I write about each and every achievement I get everyday in my diary. Ah... just like my old diary from June 1988 up to November 1988 (this has been missing for a long time, until I FOUND IT!) I was so positive there and begun diary entries with a prayer to God. I ended writing in that diary with the words, "I Love You, Lord!" Now I realized, each entry was something about accomplishments, blessings, love and attraction. I can't wait to share them again this year. I'll be posting them soon as scanned photos of the diary entries instead, and with the translation from Tagalog to English.

I feel that I owe it to my friends and readers- and myself too - to get to work again here. Yes, my dear blog, because I love you a million, trillion, zillion times! :))

My Birthday Affirmation!

Say this out loud with me
I am an absolute miracle, I love myself and I am proud and free to be me. I am surrounded by loving supportive people. I now choose thoughts that make me feel good and I am creating the life of my dreams. I love my body and it loves me back and I only think healthy thoughts. I am so joyful and happy that I can't stop laughing, its contagious and the right people and circumstances are attracted to me. I deserve to be successful. Success is my birth right and I have achieved it. I give myself permission to have money. I am enough, I have enough, I do enough. I am on top of the world and I am going for it. I have a clear picture in my mind of what I want. I can see it in front of me, I know what I want and I know how to get it. My journey is divinely guided. And So It Is!

Music Monday - Will You Still Love Me? By Chicago



Yey! It's Music Monday!

"Will You Still Love Me?" is one song I really like up to this day. I remember it being shared to me by my niece Faye in 1987, when it was not even played on the airwaves here in our province. I actually never heard of it except through my nieces and nephews singing it for me. The song was quite known in their La Union province first before ours. I can imagine it's still Faye's favorite together with awesome memories.

This song had a special meaning for me too. It's one of those songs that made me fall in love with love itself.. yeah, not with anyone then. It was a song during a loveless moment in my high school life - on my serious senior year whilst fretting about NCEEs,upcoming college entrance exams and doing good in school. Bittersweet recollections :)

"Will You Still Love Me?" is a song written by David Foster, Tom Keane and Richard Baskin for the group Chicago and recorded for their album Chicago 18 (1986). The second single released from that album, it reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Music Monday - Summer In The Streets By Menudo


This Menudo fan (Robby Rosa fan, specifically) is at it again because of this 2014 summer heat in the Philippines! This song I love by heart brings me back to the "period of recovery" I had in 1986 when I had to attend summer class in Luzon Colleges Dagupan over this high school Algebra. Weep with me :here: :)

This song Summer In The Streets is my Music Monday feature this week, so enjoy! :)



Info from Wikipedia:
Can't Get Enough (1986) is the 23rd album by Menudo
This is their third album in English and features Charlie Masso, Robby Rosa, Ricky Martin, Taymond Acevedo and Sergio Blass.
This is the third album recorded by this line-up, and would become Charlie's and Robby's last album recorded as members of the group. The songs on this album consist of five brand new songs and four songs from their Refrescante album translated into English.

The album includes the tracks: 
  1. Summer In The Streets [3:51] - Robi Rosa
  2. We Have A Song [3:46] - Robi Rosa
  3. Tell Me How You Feel [3:31] - Raymond Acevedo
  4. No One Can Love You More [3:57] - Robi Rosa
  5. Old Enough To Love [3:22] - Robi Rosa
  6. Jumpin' Over [3:25] - Charlie Massó
  7. I Can't Spend Another Day [3:37] - Ricky Martin
  8. Stay With Me [4:00] - Robi Rosa
  9. Marie (I Need You) [3:09] - Sergio Blass

Summer In The Streets was always played on the airwaves, from the Downtown Dagupan public jeepneys - no less! It gave me company - and comfort- during those silent moments commuting daily from our hometown to Luzon Colleges. Well, that summer I got so serious contemplating how to face my senior year on a clean slate. If I may say, that 1986 summer class wasn't that bad after all! :)

Happy Love Day!




Love, love, love! Happy Love Day to everyone!

It's the language I often talk about here. It's possible the keyword that gets googlers here.. what with "I love you..___ 1,000,000,000,000x" written so often. But then that wasn't really love, was it :) It was only what my elders call puppy love. If that love continued now that I'm this age then I say back to my elders, I'm now a mature German Shepherd..hehehe :)

This day is truly the day excitedly celebrated by sweethearts, lovers, husband & wife... and singles even! I have gone past the tradition already, having had so many expectations from Valentine's day celebrations - from the 80s up to present. Exciting times as I remember, but sometimes I feel like I've just gotten the hang of it.  I don't believe in only looking my best, loving my best and being my best on this day, but I believe it for everyday. And, just a secret,haha, I'm not one who easily conforms to tradition that's why. I prefer to celebrate love freely any day. At this age, my point of view has changed from expressing love and devotion blindly to truly loving one unconditionally.

I still love celebrating Valentine's Day! Love lives on! <3 <3 <3

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.
