He he ang sarap balikan ang kabataan. Mukhang marami dito ang mga nasa 40s na ha. Ito yun mga naalala ko noon.

8 tracks cassette tapes- nakalagay sa harapan ng windshield ng passenger jeep na halos hindi na makakita sa pagmamaneho yun driver sa taas ng pagkakapatung-patong nito

Minica F4- kaya ata tinawag na F4 ay 1974 kasi inilabas

Circus Band- diyan galing yun magagaling na singers tulad nila Basil Valdez, Ryan Fuentes, Tillie Moreno, kasama ba si Hajji Alejandro dito?

Adidas Hurricane- may tatlong pares ako nito na iba-iba ang kulay (blue, grey, cream)

3D electric fan- commercial ni Rod Navarro sa Mahangin Family

Metro Manila Transit- nice Hino buses imported from Japan in 1976. Smooth ang ride at heavily padded ang mga seats. Stainless steel ang mga metals sa loob. Push button ang stop signal para sa driver. Baryok ang sumigaw ng para. Nice window glasses and fluorescent lightings inside.

DM Transit- white-colored public bus with red stripe. Suwapang sa pasahero kasi lahat ng bus stop ay hinihintuan. Kaya kapag ayaw mong ma-late sa school ay huwag kang sasakay dito. The cool thing with this bus was the transparent plastic window. Kapag umuulan kasi ay makikita mo sa labas kung saan ka na. Huwag ka pupuwesto sa harapan kasi maluluto ka sa init ng makina na nasa loob ng cabin.

MD, CAM, JD- red lawanit-body buses na usually Mercedez-Benz ang makina kaya ang tutulin. Biyahe ang binibilang at hindi dami ng pasahero ang labanan ng mga driver dito kaya kung gusto mo agad makarating sa pupuntahan mo
ay ito ang sakyan mo. Kapag sumakay ka naman dito kung umuulan ay siguradong lalampas ka sa destination mo kasi lawanit din mga windows at hindi mo makikita kung nasaan ka na.

California Bus Lines- grey with red stripe usually plying the EDSA-Pasay-Roxas Blvd. route. Mabibilis din ang mga ito kasi Mercedez-Benz din makina.

De Dios Transit- yellow bus of Proj. 2 & 3 route

Yujuico Transit- green busess of Proj. 2 & 3 route

Baron Transit- violet buses of Quiapo-Guadalupe route. Ang lalakas ng stereo nito at naka-black light kaya huwag ka ngingiti kapag nasa loob kasi baka mapagkamalan na may ngipin na lumulutang

JAM Transit- yun mga bukas na gilid ang body at nakaparada sa Lawton terminal

Rear entry buses- marami noon sa Quiapo-Guadalupe route

Crown 11 ballpen- 10 centavos isa

Cross Pen with matching digital watch

110 mm camera film

Glenmore Shoes

Mobile phone with battery pack- parang ginagamit sa giyera

Sylvania flash yun disposable flash cubes noon

Robina Chicken

Manila Steam Laundry malapit sa Welcome Rotonda. Meron pa ba nito?

D' Longest Day teks (1 to 56)- playing cards

Yun Tancho Tique ads ay Japanese at hindi Pinoy ang mga talents.

Fresh Root Beer- I really miss this

Choco Vim- ang dami pala dito favorite din ito. Baon ko ito pagpasok sa school, 25 centavos ata isa noon.

Speaking of buses......

Saint Rafael buses that plied Lawton to Cavite before the Coastal road was built. It was always full of pretty women, stereo music...... I often had to walk from City Hall to PWU just to get a ride. It's also the bus where I cut loose with a nice juicy fart It's also the same bus (company) where I saw my HS crush for the last time.... Lots of memories.

Is that a hobby shop? Back in the early 80's, between the Quad Theaters and Rustans'(?) in Makati, there was a hobby shop called Fontana, I think. There was a very tall and slender Pinay probably 20 years older than me. I had a big crush on her...... I wonder if it's her (or family) that owns it. She's probably all wrinkled now...... But....

Yes, Nova Fontana is a hobby shop. IMO, I think it is the first ever hobby shop that lovingly catered to scale modelers (and to some extent, RC folks).

However, I don't recall there being any branch in Makati. But then again, I rarely went to Makati back then...

I think Matchbox came out late in scale models e, they are well known for their small metal cars, still have some of them, original made in UK without box

Dang... I used to have a lot of those matchbox cars. Sayang talaga. I should have taken better care of them. I have absolutely no idea where they are now. I even remember purposely wrecking a car I didn't like (received as gift) by tying a KWITIS onto the roof and seeing how far/fast it would go. Shame...shame..shame......

I wasn't exactly sure of the store name. But, that lady's last name was Fontana. This store back then also catered to scale modelers and Tamiya RC models in the then Quad complex. They moved to a new location right before I left. Never found out where. The time frame was around 1982-1983.

Shoppesville. I have no idea where that is.
