Music Monday - I Wonder If I Take You Home

It's a song that I picked out of the blue and surely a far cry from what we usually choose for Music Monday. LisaLisa and the Cult Jam was a favorite during the 80's, and this song "I Wonder If I Take You Home" was often played on the airwaves. Personally, I just hear these on the radio when I ride on the Downtown loop jeepney after school hours :) I don't remember having those boom boxes then, oh yeah, sometimes...

Music Monday - Tayo'y Mag-Rock n Roll By Paola Luz

I'll be featuring two upbeat songs I used to play on our old German turntable, which was the only "stereo" I had back then in 1989. Because of that, I've been a collector of 45 rpm records since I learned to save up. Alas, because I've had a short attention span, I lost all of those 45 rpm records :( Thanks to Youtube for the availability!  This song reminds me so much of those evenings I would play one...

Music Monday - Meet Me Halfway

To be in love with love itself once made me truly happy in my heart, in my mind and I think it affected everything around me so much that all things went well.This was during the 80's - as you can guess by now I'm a huge fan - I love this song because it reminds me of a classmate in high school and all the memories that go with it of all our classmates. I can't say anything more, but it's kind of related to a popular...

Music Monday - Too Young

Can't say much why I'm sentimental with this. I need just a little push to get up each day despite an illness that seems to cling to me. Oh no, nothing major just a low resistance to infection I think. You know me, stubborn and won't go to a doctor. The thought of the blood pressure monitor scares me and drives me insane. But I'm well now, thanks to water therapy and music :)I'd like to share this other 1986 favorite...

Music Monday - With You All The Way

I'm combining this Music Monday post with my Chriss Retro favorites today. With You All The Way by The New Edition is one of my most-loved songs to listen to. I guess I know every word, every lyric and emotion that comes with it by now. It was rated a few times as most played song in the summer of '86 at our local radio station (hmm, now I remember 104.7 DWON as well). Great start this month of August, Happy...

Blogthings - What 80s Karaoke Song Are You?

You Are "Like a Virgin"If you were transported back to the 80s, your life would be all about absorbing everything.You are practically a virgin (or born again virgin) when it comes to the 80s, and all things 80s are very interesting to you.You would sign your heart out to every Madonna hit and memorize every line in the Breakfast Club.You'd have the biggest record collection, roller skate like a champ, and would be a...

Christinchen of the 80's - Top Songs of 1988

(this is still the partial list of songs from 1988 yet I can't wait to share)Oh, dear, I know I jumped plenty years ahead to feature songs of 1988 first instead of beginning from 1980. But I so like 1988 best of all, reason why I'm featuring them now. 1988 was my best year by far,here's why: on the average 8 out of 10 prayers answered... problems breezed through as if nothing happened... topped 6th at the dreaded NCEE......

Christinchen of the 80's- Top Songs of 1980

These songs bring back the memories of my childhood in a boarding school in Baguio City. I'm featuring these songs as a tribute to my fellow dormmates whom I've recently found on facebook.Listening to these brings back the memories of the wonder years and the funtimes we had! Well, just to delete all the bad :) I remember I was very young -around 8 years old- to be in a boarding school. I was miserable at times because...
