My Back to the 80's Birthday

I know it's cheesy... Overused, passe, corny... I remember we did an 80's party 5 years ago,
and yet, I would love to do it again and again... Let's just say that I am an 80's girl and
that I've become what I am now because of what the 80's has done to me...

During the 80's, I've learned to love music... That was the time when all I wanted to do
was tape (record) (read: casette tape TDK 60 minutes) some songs that I've heard
from parties at Corinthian clubhouse or Valle Verde Clubhouse,
and from my cousin who loves music also...


We had to ask some friends who were friends of friends of the Audio Venture,
Social Distortion, Forsc Inc, (famous party mobiles) and so on...
I don't know if you guys are familiar with mobiles...
They were the people responsible to the party's lighting and sounds...
A group of DJs with equipment, so to speak... And they weren't using CD's...
They used records and lots of turntables, strobe lights, laser lights (pag matindi ang mobile)
and mirror ball (if cheapo, hahaha)...
Gosh, I'm so old...
Anyways, i'm having fun just telling you all about my precious teen years...

Since I am now, entering the phase of the last quarter of my life (hope not), I decided to celebrate it reminiscing the most enjoyable time of my life...

So, here it goes...

My cousin Gary (he provided me with fresh new music in the 80's - faves were Depeche Mode,
Lotus Eaters, The Pale Fountains, etc.)

My sister who helped me dress up during the 80's... During that time, I used to buy clothes from
Triangle and Esprit at Cinderella...




I prepared little somethings for the guests who would come in impressive 80's outfits...
Made the date June 5, 1988 (feeling debutante).


The Winners:

Gary - the Strutter
Beng - Madonna

I can't believe this man's effort: He really had to be baduy!!!

We danced the whole night, up until 2am...
It was a different Friday night for us since we all were

dressed up and listened to 80's music...

Up to now, I am still happy... Still smiling...
I never regret spending an 80's party with my friends even though
many people find it so (baduy) passe and cheesy...

I thank everyone, for taking the time to text me, PM me, YM me, email me, call me, and of course, my family, my Friday Club, thank you for making my day very, very happy....

Here are some highlights of the event:

If you're gonna ask me:

Would I celebrate my birthday again doing the 80's theme???

My answer would be:

I'm thinking of celebrating it yearly with the same theme over and over again...

Thank you everyone for the greetings!!!
