Remembering the times of cassette tapes, VHS and VCDs, seventeen pesos for a kilo of rice, LRT token, two peso minimum fare for a tricycle ride, free toy inside a pack of Basta pinoy, coca-cola freebies (POGS, coca-cola card, miniature coke bottles and trucks, etc.), rainbow colored stripes on a pair of ramboo slippers, Shoe Mart, Nayong Pilipino, tretorn, dinolite, mighty kid, black and white television sets with it’s wooden housing and tricky channel dial, family computer, and that our solar system still have nine planets *sigh* just being nostalgic.
People would usually ask me - what's the time?, followed by - is it advance?
People have the tendency to adjust their time five to more than twenty minutes in advance.
Funny, since you're aware of the difference anyway. I just find it pointless.
...
They don’t make music now like they did before and you can’t blame me if I don’t feel so optimistic that another artist would be as big as MJ – rest in peace, anytime soon.
Some have talents but are being shoved aside for the ones with songs that are “more catchy”, songs with two or three lines being repeated over and over again for three minutes or more, the kind of songs you’ll easily forget once you fail to listen to for sometime.
Do albums still get platinum records this days?
Singers, Bands etc., or so called artists are coming in from almost anywhere; talent shows, the internet or through connections, all trying to take a slice off the music industry. There's too many of them, no wonder fans of certain music genres are divided, making it harder to sell albums, and aside from the one being shared as downloadables (is that even a formal word) online, some of the artists choose to sell their songs digitally through the net.

I love you Sabado, pati na rin Linggo…
