Came across a tape that has recordings from the mid-80s. Sanggol pa lang ako when it was recorded so hindi ko pa maalala (or aware) na ganun pala TV during those days. ABS-CBN went by the name BBC-2 kasi binigay yung network nila to some Marcos crony. And I prefer the look of the title cards.
Bilib din ako sa kung sino nag-record nito. Dude literally left his VCR recording the whole time so kuha pati commercials and bumpers. This practice is unheard of kasi we tend to pause during commercials and resume pag start na ulit ng program to save space (mahal kasi tape). Feel ko tuloy the owner has several of these lying around pero most likely napatungan na or nawala.
Also just discovered an old interview by Ted Koppel with Ferdinand Marcos from 1982 sandwiched in between some movie recordings. This is the first time I heard Makoy Sr. talk that isn’t on some documentary and here’s a few take aways:
-
Marcos pronounces years as “nineteen-hundred and seventy-two” instead of “nineteen-seventy two”.
-
Kasing-asim niya sina Noynoy at Gloria kung mag-react sa mga criticism/allegations towards his administration. He didn’t like the intro piece that aired before his interview at all, lol.
-
Ted Koppel is a great interviewer. How I wish ganun ako kagaling mag-communicate with others. He’s so inoffensive and articulate.
-
Marcos talks really really well. Most Presidentiable out of anyone I’ve seen since I was born. At the same time, sa sobrang galing niya magsalita he can easily sway the narrative in his favor when rebutting accusations. Like dumami raw middle class nung panahon niya in response to the inequality between the poor and the rich - bad (bordering on nonsensical) argument but he sells it well.
-
Apparently he was trying to pivot away from strongly supporting the U.S. around this point and doesn’t appreciate the one-sided deals they want.

Tag-ulan na yahoo! Mumura na rin kuryente!
May pagasa pa… Ho oh woh oh. Hallelujah hallelujah
Di ako juxla
tfw you found someone nb who seems like a perfect piece to your polyamory
it’s in these moments i wish i had all the basic adult financial and material stuff ready and waiting so i can ask her out and at least be friends. sobrang attractive lang talaga u know for sure she can score any gender (and she hella knows)
she might be a tad bit too young though and we for sure won’t vibe. if there was a way it would likely have to be through mutual friends or smth
oh well. maybe one of these days a silly stupid gamble
Just wanna share that ₱-37000 Asus Vivobook 💻 (please see the pic above), if anyone is looking for a great-value 💻. Core i7-12650h at 37000 on Lazada. Great deal. I bought a Ryzen-7-5800h Asus Vivobook from Lazada in December 2023. If I knew that 12650h Vivobook then, I’d pick the 12650h.
Hmmm…parang ayoko munang mag-login sa Reddit hanggang hindi ko napapanood yung Eurovision semifinals 1 nang buo. Baka makakita ako ng spoilers. Haha!
Edit: nyeta. Papanoorin ko sana yung replay, pero may isang spoiler na agad sa comments.
19 and 16 is legal per law because of the Romeo and Juliet clause. Gusto pa nga nila gawin 13 e, lol.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with that. They’re still technically teenagers with a tinny gap. If it’s 20-16, or 21-16, diyan ka magpuputak sa social media. But until that law is repealed, epal ka lang.
I really hate the fact na 10000 pesos lang ang De-Minimis Tax sa international online shopping tangina 57:1 na lumiliit lang yung pool ng items na pwede bilhin
That value was from the 1997 Internal Revenue Code iirc. I wonder why it hasn’t been increased yet.
me thinks na the degens at customs are lobbying for it to stay there para eventually dadami yung kurakot nila lalo na dun sa mga mamahalin na goods
Just had the super cheap spaghetti today. Yung tig 20 pesos per balot.
Medyo nalungkot lang ng konti kasi nie-expect ko lasang ketchup pero kalasa ng Ambers. Task failed successfully, I guess.
Hindi muna ulit ako mag-la-login sa Reddit hanggang hindi ko napapanood yung Eurovision semifinals 2 nang buo. Baka makakita ulit ako ng spoilers. Haha!
Edit: damn Reddit notification. Is that a spoiler?
are your feeds also have that unhinged home design trend?
Mga spammers siguro
Currently watching Eurovision finals live via YouTube.
Napatambay ako this week sa reddit, specifically sa r/Tech_Philippines. Naghahanap ng reviews for NextFun 2in1 tablets. Puro inquiry lang meron.
Bumili na ko ngayon pero dito ko sa lemmy po-post yung detailed review ko imbis na dun. Wahahahha.
