On Being an 80s Baby…
I’ve always wanted to blog things about the 80s and reminisce them. Yes, I’m an 80s baby and I’m so proud that I came out to the world from that era.
I actually have so many fun childhood memories that I just couldn’t forget. And it is giving me an unexplainable feeling every time I see things that are originally from those years. When I start to recall some past events, my sisters’ high bangs (with spraynet) and their playsuits and jumpsuits outfits are the things that always come in my mind first. The 80s fashion is trending now. I’ve seen such clothing from Ellos and most Hollywood stars are wearing them too! I must say, it’s still cute and timeless.
I know everyone will also agree with me that the 80s has produced the most memorable ballad songs which are still being being loved at present. Evidence are the revival of those songs by the artists of today. And now I’m remembering when I watched Sheena Easton live in concert last two years ago. It has brought me back to the past.
Oh, I still also play some Madonna and Fra Lippo Lippi songs during lazy Sundays. I simply love it!
The Coca Cola commercial is also another thing that would always come in my mind when a conversation about the 80s has started. And who would forget the launching of its sexy bottle? Now I feel like, I would move mountains to take one day back on those days. I wish I had captured those moments in photos and videos and share them with you. sigh…
Where Do You Buy Money When Going Abroad?
Money is first and most important thing to consider when going abroad. While most travelers are using their plastic money or credit cards, it’s still a must to bring the currency of your chosen destination. This is the money you will use in small and emergency expenses like fare.
Each time I travel abroad, I usually bring US Dollars since it is the international money. Then, I have them exchanged in my destination country. How about you? Where do you usually get your money when going abroad. Cast your vote on my poll located at the right side of this page.
Oh by the way, here’s the result of our last poll.
Japan to Offer Free 10,000 Airfares Next Year and I Love to Go!
I always dream of visiting Japan. Since I was 6, I knew Japan, based on my dad’s stories (because he used to work in NNN – Nippon News Network based in Japan as an assistant camera man) from his bosses as a beautiful, cold and well developed country. He is no longer connected to the company (not sure if the company still exists today) but he has a lot of Japanese guests visiting the Philippines each time. He is now running a small rent-a-car business and never got the chance to go to Japan, even once for his more than 10 years of service in NNN. Yeah, it was sad!
As I grow older and until now, he always share his stories about Japan and its people. From then on, I became so interested in Japan that I would read info about it.So when I started this blog, we planned in going but for visa reasons and high airfare, we are holding back this dream for sometime. I love to talk about Japan in my blog!
Yesterday, I read from twitter that Japan will be offering 10,00 free airfare by next year and I so love to go! This is not yet my entry but I definitely want to see the Cherry Blossoms, My Fuji, Tokyo Disneyland and eat authentic Takoyaki! My dad and I love Japanese food and it’s really nice to know such opportunity will be given to tourists like us, despite of the tragedy that happened in March 11. I can’t really wait to send my application and have my first step on the land of the rising sun!
