Name: Don De Alban
Blog: http://agam-agam.blogspot.com

1. Where did you grow up, and what made that place special?
I was born and raised in Makati, Metro Manila, back in the day when the Rizal Theatre was the most spectacular movie house and the Mandarin Oriental was the tallest hotel in the area. My family was in the construction business in the 1970s, and by the standards then, I would say that was a time when our clan was well-off. It was a special time since my entire clan regularly got together in huge parties and celebrations, which were held at our family's ancestral compound that spanned about half of the street.

Sadly, when the country was experiencing economic turmoil in the mid-80s during the Marcos regime, the company was not very fortunate and went down. Family feuds ensued after that up until the early 1990s to fight over remaining wealth and inheritances. Our family left Makati for Baguio to start over but didn't exactly intend to stay there long.

I still consider Makati as my hometown even though we don't have our house and property there anymore.The place is still special to me since I was born there and I lived the early carefree half of my life in that area. It was a time when I could buy a Coke Litro for P5 from across the street, and spend the afternoons playing with other kids from the neighborhood. Children's games then (like taguan, patintero, habulan, and tumbang preso) were more interactive in the real sense unlike the network PC games that kids so crazily enjoy now.

Of course, that old Makati gone now and the town has changed a lot in two decades. It's truly unfortunate (for me, that is) that most of our family pictures have either been missing or lost as a result of several house relocations in Baguio in the 1990s, except for some that were stashed when I brought them to attend college in Quezon City. I guess all those fond memories only live through my recollections now or whenever my family gets to talk and reminisce about those days long gone.

2. What was your favorite tv show, cartoon, or children's show growing up? What did you like about these shows that made them your favorite?
Cartoons and kiddie shows made my day when I was growing up. I remember watching them with my younger brother, Rom. The TV was propped on top of a small dresser and we'd sit on the floor watching the shows while eating snacks. Eventually we'd end up lying on the floor, sleepy, until we had to go because Mama was already calling us since it was time for lunch.

Sesame Street was undisputedly my favorite. I always looked forward to seeing Oscar the Grouch and the Count. I even remember singing along to the tune of that counting segment (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12... too too toodoo too too too toodoo doo...) where there's a pinball and a certain number is featured during the ball's journey in a tunnel. Two other cartoons that I also enjoyed watching were Super Book and The Flying House, which were about stories from the Bible from both the Old and New Testaments.

I guess I could not have been watching those shows back then because I knew they were teaching me the alphabet or the rudiments of counting--let alone good moral values through biblical stories. I definitely had no idea that I had to learn them. I was watching those shows then because it was very entertaining. But when I look back at that time and see myself where I am now, I'd say that these shows were, in fact, instrumental in my development as a kid and as a person. I had probably learned to speak English better from watching these shows, and could not only recall those stories from the Bible but aspired to live my life through its teachings as well.

3. Favorite music group or artist? Most memorable song?
The most memorable song to me probably, other than Sesame Street tunes and the main soundtrack of Superman, would be "You Got the Power" sang by Gary Valenciano, which was one of the soundtracks of the movie, Ninja Kids. The movie at that time was phenomenal to me, my brother, and my cousins when we were kids. We were so enamoured by the idea of ninjas that we did alot of roleplays imagining that we were ninjas ourselves. We'd wrap t-shirts over our heads and leave only our eyes exposed. We also used to make those ninja "stars" from paper and throw them around as weapons during our make-believe adventures. One time, we were practising doing forward flips on the bed during our "ninja trainings," and I had a mishap while doing it and couldn't breathe as a consequence. Everybody was in a panic to get me alright. It was really good that I got out of it after a few minutes without any need of going to the hospital, and that there were no serious injuries. But I think from then on, I stopped being blindly adventurous and refrained from further acrobatics. I guess that particular Ninja Kids soundtrack never fails to remind me of my childhood days and my wild ideas as a kid.

4. Share with our readers one of your fondest memories of growing up.
It was the very first time I saw Superman in flight back in the early 1980s at Rizal Theatre (where Shangri-la Makati Hotel now stands). My 6-year old mind then did not protest to the concept of a flying person with supernatural uncanny strength and unusual abilities. I liked the idea of the superhero--one who fights for justice, truth, and good causes--while having all those wonderful powers. I wanted to imitate him and thought that everything was possible. Superman became one of my childhood heroes along with Optimus Prime (from the Transformers cartoons) a few more years after.

Anyway, after the movie, Mama took a photo of my brother, Rom, and me individually at the parking lot (where the Landmark now stands) with Rizal Theatre in the background. I held both my hands, clenched in fists behind my back while I posed for the camera. Mama insisted I put my hands to my sides but I didn't listen and kept them behind me. In my head, I knew I was inspired, even looking determined, and thought I could be like Superman and wanted to fly.

Years later, Rom jeered that I was just being silly by considering I could fly like Superman by the pose I took. I admit now that I was being ridiculous then, but I've also realized that my capacity for imagination when I was a kid knew no limits. It's quite unfortunate that the photograph is nowhere to be found now.

5. What do you miss from back then that's not available today?
That would be Hershey's Brown Cow. If you remember this chocolate syrup, it was made into a drink by pouring it in a container with milk. But for me, I'd slyly open the fridge while no one was looking, and drink the chocolate syrup straight from bottle thru the easy-to-open nozzle. The taste was absolutely rich. I can't find the product anymore (or I believe I haven't seen it in years) at the local supermarkets but I'm not sure though if its production in other countries have already ceased or they're just not selling it locally anymore.

I was also into collecting stickers over several series of sticker albums then, which I sorely miss now not only because they're already a thing of the past but because I lost my collection. It started when I was in elementary Grade 1 with "The World of Survival," which was a sticker collection about different animal species in the world. It was followed by "The Age of the Dinosaurs" when I entered Grade 2, and annually followed by other different themes particularly on cartoons like the Carebears, Mask, and the Ghostbusters.

I also remember being addicted to Chikadees and Cheezels too. I usually bought some after school because I liked collecting the free small toy items that came inside each packet.

I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for
                                    G              Am7
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
               C                        Am7
Come crushing through you door
     C                              D             G
Baby I can’t fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a ruin since I saw you
I’ve been running round in circles in my mind
When it all is at ease then I’m following you girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I never find

Peel Here! Shawn's Sticker Collection #03: Rock Coin Stickers

Nostalgia Manila in cooperation with www.brandedinthe80s.com proudly presents, Peel Here! Our very good friend Shawn Robare has the most extensive sticker collection you've ever seen! Showcasing fun and rare vintage sticker sets from the 70's to the 80's. This will definitely take you back to all those fun times at school, trading stickers with your friends!

Year: 1985

Shawn's Comments: These were 7-Eleven Slurpee premiums that were hidden in false bottoms of the frozen drink cups in 1985. For a period of time I wasn't sure if I imagined these or what because I couldn't find them anywhere. Anyway, around the same time there were also baseball and football player versions as well, but it's the rock ones that I remember the most. I really remember wanting very badly to get a Rick Springfield so that I could give it to my sister (she was pretty big into him at the time) but all I could get were lousy Billy Squier and Dio coins. A few months ago, when I was trying to pick the image of the coins out of my memory I could have sworn that the Dio coin changed between images of him standing calmly and of one where he was throwing the two fingered goat (devil horns hand gesture), but alas as the coin shows there were no devil horns to be found. What a wasted opportunity on the 7-Eleven premium department.

Anyway, I was so glad to finally find these and to know that I wasn't crazy and that these did in fact exist. Not only that, but they are freaking stickers to boot! I've got the entire set, and sadly there is no Rick Springfield to be found, but there is a pretty sweet Huey Lewis and the News one as well as a pretty nifty Ozzy Osbourne one.

Jane wants a maid but George says they can't afford it. He invites Mr. Spacely over for dinner but what he doesn't know is that Jane has taken a free one day trial offer on a slightly used 'Rosey'. George is in a panic because he thinks that he can't possibly convince Mr. Spacely that he needs the raise if he sees Rosey. In a pinch, Rosey takes leftovers and whips up a delicious dinner and a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Spacely fires Jetson and storms out the door. He calls a little later, munching the cake and says that anybody that can make such a delicious cake can't be all bad. In the meantime, Rosey has left, thinking that she caused the family trouble, but they find her at the bus stop and take her home for good.

188. Pagkatapos ng tanghalian, ay may Tagalog movies with the rivalry of Tony Ferrer (Agent X44) at Roberto Gonzales. Iyong mga pelikula ni Tony Ferrer magarbo ang mga set, iyong kay Roberto Gonzales ang mga setting mostly ay sa slum area. Pa-inglish pa minsan si Falcon samantala tunog Visaya si Roberto.

189.Sa mga OA (Overacting) na artista, aba, nandiyan si Vic Pacia na pataas taas ang kilay with matching tawa versus Ben David na malaki ang boses pati na ang butas ng kanyang ilong.

190. Central Market (kung galling ka sa Dapitan Street, bago bumaba ng underpass going to Quiapo) na mabibilhan mo ng dry at wet goods? Doon ka makakabili ng mga yaring damit pati mga uniform.

191. Kapag malaking pelikula especially Fernando Poe Jr. movies, unang una ang Cinerama Theater (CM Recto at Quezon Blvd.), considered as number one theater ng kanyang panahon. Sa Cubao, naroon ang Remar.

Kapag double feature, Times Theater, doon mo halos makikita ang mga James Bond movies back to back, plus iyong mga lumang war at epic movies.

192. Kung sa Public School ka nag-aral ng elementarya, nauso noon ang Nutri-Bun sa halagang diyes sentimo pero malaki ang size niya. Kaya lang hindi mo basta basta magugustuhan ang lasa na minsan ay parang luma. Pero okey lang may free namang gatas.

*Many thanks to our good friend Arnel Bagnes.

Nostalgia Treasure: Original Vintage Black PLDT Phone

"Naaalala mo pa ba ito?"Everyone has some Nostalgia Treasure waiting to be found. Dig up your Nostalgia Treasure and share it with all our readers! Simply take photos of your Nostalgia Treasure and send them to: nostalgiamanilamail[at]yahoo[dot]com and we'll feature it here at Nostalgia Manila!

Nais kong ibahagi sa inyo ang larawang ito. Sinong makakalimot sa mga bastos na partyline? Mga panahong hindi ka makatawag dahil sa todo telebabad ang iyong ka-partyline. Kung makapagsasalita lamang ang teleponong ito ay marahil marami rin itong maibabahaging mga kuwento, tsismis, balita at iba pa. Kung malalaman lang natin ang nararamdaman ng kawawang telepono sa tuwing may manloloko sa kabilang linya sabay ibabagsak natin ang handset.

Nabili ko po ito sa isang thrift shop sa may Evangelista, Makati. Ito ngayon ang ginagamit namin na extension phone sa aming bahay.

Maraming salamat po and more power! Mabuhay ang Nostalgia Manila!

Lubos na gumagalang,
Carl
