Subject: Sabado Night

THANK GOD FOR THIS SABADO NIGHT. I JUST CAME FROM MY PARENTS IN LAW TO SEE MY KIDS KASI WINTER BREAK NGAYON DITO KAYA THE KIDS ARE VERY HAPPY TO STAY WITH THEIR GANDPARENTS FOR A FEW DAYS. NO CHOICE KASI MY WIFE AND I WORK DURING THE WEEK AND WE HAVE NO ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.

DURING LUNCH, MY IN LAWS WERE RELATING TO US HOW THEY LIVED WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG. IN THE COURSE OF THEIR STORY, I RECALLED A LOT OF THINGS FROM THE PAST.

DURING HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, I WAS A BIG FAN OF JAMES TAYLOR, KENNY LOGINS (LOGINS AND MESSINA FAME), CAT STEVENS, JIM CROCCE, SIMON AND GARTFUNKEL, THE BEE GEES WITH THEIR 2 WONDERFUL ALBUMS "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER AND SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND THE FILM (TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES. I REMEMBER SONGS LIKE "WHENEVER I SEE YOUR SMILING FACE", "B.S.U.R. S.U.C. S.I.M.IM" (REMEMBER THIS SONG?), STAYING ALIVE, TRAGEDY,ETC.

I ALSO LIKED SOME LOCALS LIKE RICO PUNO, EX MEMBERS OF THE CIRCUS BAND LIKE; BASIL VALDES, HAJJI ALEJANDRO, AND A LADY WHOSE NAME I FORGOT: SHE SANG "KUNG MAKIKITA MO ANG BOYFRIEND KO, TIYAK NA WOW ANG SASABIHIN MO, WALANG KAPINTASAN KAHIT SAAN KUNDI ANG PEKLAT NG BAKUNA" THERE WERE ALSO SONGS LIKE "BATO SA BUHANGIN" "ANAK" "GREATEST LOVE OF ALL"

THEN I BECAME A JAZZ FUSION FREAK: AL JEAREAU, GEORGE BENSON, NOEL POINTER, MANHATTAN TRANSFER WERE SUCCESFUL DURING THOSE YEARS.

IN TERMS OF FASHION: POLYESTER WAS IN. IT WAS SUCH A BIG HIT THAT IT BROKE THE RECORD YEYE VONNEL. I HAD A NUMBER OF POLYESTER SHIRTS NA VERY TIGHT FITTING - BUTTONED DOWN TO SHOW HALF OF THE CHEST. I ALSO AVAILED OF THE FASHIONABLE JEANS "BANG BANG" NA MAY TRIANGLE DESIGN SA PUWIT AND "FADED GLORY" NA MAY BUCKLE NAMAN SA LIKOD WHICH WERE LATER ON REPLACED BY GLORIA VANDERBILT. VERY TIGHT DIN ANG JEANS NUON HANGGANG HITA PERO PAGDATING SA LEGS BIGLANG LAPAD ALL THE WAY TO THE FEET. MASAMA ANG LOOB NG MGA BOYS KUNG KITA ANG HIGH HEALED SHOES NA ROUND SHAPE ANG HARAP - I WONDERED WHY WE HAD TO CLEAN OUR SHOES KUNG ITATAGO RIN LANG. ANG HAIR STYLE NAMAN KAILANGAN AY BRUSHED-UP AT MEYRONG KONTING VITALIS. I REMEMBER STEALING SOME FROM MY LATE DAD'S BOTTLE TO GROOM MY HAIR.
O YES, I WAS A FASHION FREAK.

DANCE WISE, USONG USO ANG BOOGIE AND SWING. THE DISCO YEARS ACTUALLY STARTED ON THE LATE 70s (NOT THE 80s LIKE MOST SAY). TV DANCE SHOWS LIKE "PENTHOUSE SEVEN" CLICKED, FOLLOWING THE SUCCES OF "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" MY GOD! WAS I A FAN! THAT TIME I REALISED THAT I LIKE THE PERFORMING ARTS. I STARTED LOOKING FORWARD TO A CAREER IN THE PERFORMING ARTS. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AS I BECAME, HOWEVER, AN ARTS MANAGER SA CCP. NO REGRETS. LATER ON IN MY CAREER, I STARTED STAGE DIRECTING AND RACKETS/PROJECTS ON STAGE DIRECTING CAME. MASAYA NAMAN!

TILL THE NEXT SABADO NIGHT! A BIENTOT!

Hello there .... well... your sabado night stories are really fun!!!! I just realized you're such a fashionista pala during the 70's and 80's as well as a music lover. your kind of music are almost the same as my husband's. Eh ako kasi very naive in so many things during that time ... eh ang natatandaan ko lang yata yung Greatest Love of All kasi it has been the class favorite and was the theme song of Lucy & the late Charlie. The Saturday night fever I think was in our college days na kasi I remember seing the movies of travolta and olivia newton john in recto ... kasi sa Univ. belt ako nagcollege. And those were the times that I've seen almost all the movies of Sharon Cuneta and the regal films movies. Anyway its really funny and very memorable talaga ang 70's and 80's era ..right??? Masarap i-share to our kids all the memories .... and i've been doing that you know. Thanks talaga for your time ... by the way ... we will have our first meeting on March 21 and probably we can create committees by then .... and also to all please try to create a multiply account ...kasi I think its easier to post messages, pictures and videos as well. if you have one na please inform me para we can invite each and everyone. OKEY???
