...do u still remember?

actually just finished dinnertable conversation with my parents and uncle.. was curious of what the yesteryears were like.. actually been thinking about these stuff since early this afternoon pa..

i was tasked by img-davao to do the bpm presentation this afternoon and to give some insights on how times are changing.. i opened some funny-yet-real differences of the past and the present.. when i asked the audience how much was the cheapest fare they could remember someone mentioned P0.10 as in CENTAVOS! heheh it's like P4.00 now-a-days and im still 24years old!!! haha.. and to top it all.. jeepneys which they called Tartanillas that time would drop people off at their doorsteps! haha.. imagine! hahaha... another was the difference of buying-power of the peso.. my uncle would remember P50.00 as the salary of managers.. hehe.. and my dad said the 'beetle' as we call it by Volkswagon was sold at P8,000 hahaha.. not to mention the coins in the past which were really made of silver and bronze! cool!

tapos some gruesome topics about the toilets of before.. haha.. so funny.. sabi pa nila the families would dig up a hole on the ground before and just cover the sides.. tapos lalagyan ng wood on top of the hole which would leave a small square.. just enough for the feces to fall.. yakz! heheh.. tapos one could see what's happening underneath.. hehe.. like the finger-sized worms fattened by the deposits.. yakz!! hahaha... plus since there were no tissue paper.. they would use corn cobs! imagine!!!! yakz yakz yakz! or even wood! hehehe.. well.. there are also leaves around hehehe..

it's quite fun listening to tales of people quite older than ourselves.. i just pity the so-called 'modern' men and women now-a-days who feel they're too busy to sit down and talk to those with more wisdom and matury than us.. they don't know what they're missing.

i do enjoy these talks.. i just hope by putting it on my blog.. those unfortunate enough not to have these family dinner-time talks (i dont blame you guys) would also have some piece of our past.. lahat tayo.. not just my family does / did that.. hehehe..

Way Back Into Love

Way Back into Love (featuring: Haley Bennett and Hugh Grant) OST: Music and Lyrics I've been living with a shadow overhead I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed I've been lonely for so long Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away Just in case I ever need em again someday I've been setting aside time To clear a little space in the corners of my mind All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love Oh oh oh I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine I've been searching but I just don't see the signs I know that it's out there There's got to be something for my soul somewhere I've been looking for someone to shed some light Not somebody just to get me through the night I could use some direction And I'm open to your suggestions All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way b...

the classic

i wasn't doing anything or couldn't do anything at all due to the arrival of my long-time visitor ~ my menses. hahaha... so i opted to go for the jkdrama online thru a website the features full-length korean drama teleseries and movies.. at one point i got in touch with a very emotional film, it's the so-called mother film of most of the korean films i came to know like windstruck and my sassy girl... it's entitled 'the classic'. i'm not here to talk about the movie, since most information can easily by gathered over the net.. what i'm here to talk about is the face in the movie... take a look at these who does these pictures remind u of?! if it doesn't remind you of anyone.. well... i am reminded of a certain past.. whew...! his name is cho seung woo... go figure.
