Love, 70's style
Even with my very limited, if not non-existent experience in this field ;-), I've noticed so many big differences in the way young people meet & greet nowadays compare to our teen generation of the 70's.Well, i'm no expert on this subject, but with the presence of text messaging, internet chat rooms, and community blogs like myspace, friendsters, facebook etc..nowadays, one can easily find a prospective lifetime partner or even part-time lover (wink! wink!) with a stroke of a key.
Nung panahon natin, the customary way to do get someone's attention is to hand-deliver short hand-written notes to their one & only.
Talagang personal ang dating!
There was a time na umakyat pa ko ng ligaw sa bahay ng aking sini-sinta. I remember the first time, I was with a group of friends para di obvious. hehehe...but later on, ako na lang mag-isa. Sabi nga kasi, no guts no glory!
well, you all know i have guts my friends, but didn't exactly end up with glory...hahaha.
Kasi naman yung sini-sinta ko, ang sagot sa akin nung nanay, wala pa daw sa isip ng anak nya yun! Imagine that, yung nanay ang ka-deal ko?
The good thing was, she didn't end up with anyone I knew who's been wanting to win her precious heart.
It wasn't like I was the only one got rejected....hahaha. marami kami!
Pero ngayon, look at how the way young people hook up so to speak! ...Tech style~! They have cellphones and internet access everywhere. A few exchanges of text messages and emails here & there, maybe pictures. It's all done digitally!
Exciting alright but wasn't always necessarily romantic or even safe.
They all have guts but not always end up with glory. Look around and you'll see young unwed mothers. How they end up like that is anyone's guess.
But of course, some of us got lucky and met their special someone thru invested time typing familiar romantic words and playful jokes in their computers and cellphones. None of us will be surprise if learned someone found their partner/lover/soul mates thru that medium.
Hey,when it comes to the matter of the heart, you can't stop if it's start beating really fast. It doesn't matter how & where you meet someone.
It's not true that feelings is nothing more than feelings. It's more than that. It is sacred.
Well, nothing against technology but I'm beginning to feel like it created more troubles than making our lives more advance if not efficient.
Ironically, I work in the Technology field.
I'd like to go back to the days where I don't feel disconnected when I don't have access to the internet...
.... or I don't feel naked when my cellphone is not with me.
Life back then is so simple. Unadulterated.

I remember . . . masarap at nakakabusog 'yung hot fresh pandesal with DariCreme; Thanks to Scrabble, kasi kung wala yun, mababato ka. May kasama pang science teacher kung minsan pagpunta sa bahay. Patingin-tingin; hidden love notes sa notebooks, etc.
So different from today's . . .
Aba kayo lang ba ang may sinisinta nung araw, hehehe, siempre ako din pero ako hanggang tingin lang kasi walang guts eh. Kaya tuloy su-gat (ng puso) ang inabot ko, waaaahhh. Sakit sakit pala ng ganun kaya lang parte siguro ng buhay at kabataan yung magkagusto at masaktan.
Kaya siguro naging bato ang dati kong pusong mamon, hahaha. Teka Zen kung alam lang siguro ng mga may hidden (or not so hidden) love sa yo na pandesal at Dari Creme ang gusto mo eh di sana lagi silang nagdedeliver nun sa bahay nyo pagdalaw sa yo. Baka pati nanay mo eh di na din tumanggi hehehe.
May tanong lang ako, di ba matangkad ka, Zen? Akala ko kasi nung araw pag Star margarine palaman mo, eh tutulungan kang tumangkad di ko alam pati pala DariCreme. Kaya siguro di ako tumangkad kasi isang slice lang ng tinapay ang kinakain ko na may Star margarine, isang paa lang tuloy ang tumangkad sa akin, waaaahh.
Speaking of love I still believe and adhere to the old fashioned way of showing it sa minamahal mo. Yung bang tipong pasulat sulat ng mga 'sweet nothings'. You just hope na yung love mo will stay sweet over the years. Kasi baka pag nagtagal eh mga 'nothing sweet' na ang pawalan sa yo eh, goodluck ka na lang pare ko, hahaha.
Anyways nice blog at tulad ng dati, it brings back memories nung unang panahon na bata pa si Zen...este Sabel, hahahaha.
In the 70's, we look so serious about it. Mayroong shy type(torpe) at mayroon din namang simbilis ng kidlat. Yun namang iba nagkaka girlfriend without knowing it.
Today, serious din syempre but for sure, for most of them, it's just for fun. Kwik intro, kwik relationship, end up split or divorce.
You are right Egay, some normally end up single mom. Here in Oz, a lot of girls prefer single mom bec of bad relationships. But you know what, some of them just want to have a baby because everytime you have a baby you will receive $4133. baby bonus from the govt plus food, housing and other allowances if your salary is not enough for your family.
Families here with around 8 kids and jobless parents received family allowance up to more than $38,000. a yr that's why a lot of people doesn't wanna work.
I remember when we 1st arrived here, I have a part time job and bec my salary is not enough, we received $1400/month allowance. Naisip ko, sana ganuon din sa atin.
Bakit ba napunta sa allowance ang usapan.
Well the 1st chip from Silicone Valley in the '70s comes the new hitech computers that make it easier for us to communicate in today's ahhhh whatever!!!
Wala man tayong GLORY nuon, ngayon may GLORIFIC kids and family na tayo. VIVA klasmeyts.
mas gusto ko pa rin nung panahon natin. simple lang talaga. Young ones nowadays have no fear anymore...or perhaps they are just way too stupid or maybe think they are too smart for their own sake.
