We were looking at old photos at Manang Anna's house yesterday and I can't help but laugh when I remember the "good old days".

I'm a child of the 80's and I must say that is an era that should be kept unrevived (except for the music).

Remember:

• Big polos tucked into high-waisted jeans
  
• Tretorns and baston pants (heaven forbid...Acid washed and Paisley print!!!)
• Striped "Made in Heaven" bitin jeans
• Shoulder Pads!
  
• Aqua Net (for the baduy) and Final Net (for the sossy)
• Tsunami Hair
• Lion Hair
• Huge Plastic Earrings
• One sided ponytails and Large ribbons a la Madonna
• Glitter gel (Wella New Wave gel!)
  
• Scrunched socks
• Neon clothing
  
• Sahara Nights
• Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam
• Vanilla Ice Ice Bay-beh
• Milli Vanilli....Blame if on the Raiiiiinnnn
  
• Paul Lekakis (Boom Boom Boom lets go back to my room...)
  
• Roger Rabbit and Running Man dance steps
• Zigzag and Rumors Disco (earlier) and Euphoria (later) - Jaloux and Metro for the baduy folk hahah!
• Cellphones as large as cordless phones, with humongous batteries you had to carry in a bag!
• Pagers
• Paperwhite monitors and Wordstar
• 5 1/2" floppy diskettes
• Computers without RAM and Hard Drives
• Dot Matrix Printers
• Working with a single font only
  
• Primo spray cologne (if you like Giorgio....you'll love Primo)
• The RAGE Band!
• The Dawn (they still rock)
• The Bar and Bartles and Jaymes coolers

Oh, and I actually watched JJFad in concert at the Folk Arts Theater.

SUPERSONIC!!!
