Manila night lights along Pasig River postcard (1967 JMC Press) Retro reprint [??] 

Ah, the sixties-- the era of neon lights and disco fever! I adore this postcard mainly because of the bright pink and the reflection on the river-- *GASP* they used to have a night life along the Pasig river! I can't imagine that happening anymore. I would love to go back and experience disco back in those days-- the fashion, the music, the partying mayhem. That would be something.

Speaking of parties, I went out for the first time in a looooong time (and I am not even exaggerating) with the best party people in the world (and best friends ever) that I know-- who else but high school friends! Yay! 

I actually LIVED with these people (ok, just the girls) for four years-- breathed the same air that they breathed, ate the same horrid things they fed us back then. We had the ups and downs of teenage life together, 24/7 (ok, for some just 24/5 since they go home on weekends). We even know each other's sleeping quirks for christ's sake, so when we get together, we just KNOW each other-- no pretensions or judgement. Back then, when we party (illegally of course) we PARTY HARD. Like crazy drunk ass hard. Those were the days.

But alas, times have changed and I am very disappointed. *_____* Ok just a little disappointed, I still had a a wonderful time with the people who always make me happiest. The laughs are still there, the crazy jokes, the funny mean things we say to each other... but...WE ARE GETTING SO FREAKIN' OLD. And partying starts to get... boring.

The night started with Barrio Fiesta-- it was nice, but a little overpriced. The Chicken Sisig was heaven. It was fun--especially because my ex and I were getting along really well (compared to M and B... and P... AWKWARD). It's really good to be friends with him again, we're so funny when we're in sync. ANYWAY.

By 9:30 we were off to party #2 at Dencio's. Weak service, the music was not exactly my taste. I liked the interiors though. The cocktail..hmm, good I guess. Better than what we had later that night. I was extremely bored. Mayah and I even made up games to entertain ourselves. I could not wait to get out of there... I guess we were just not comfortable in the place and there was not much to talk about anymore. :(

Light at Dencio's

Party #3 was at Padi's Point at around 12mn. Thank goodness it was dark, if not I would rate the interior 1/10. Horrible. But the people are dancing their panties off, the music was crazy, the band was good-- FOR A WHILE. More on that later. It was my first time at Padi's actually. I quickly expected to dance the night away just like we did in high school. I was ecstatic and ready to get stone drunk and party on the dance floor.

 

But then they served us this expensive JUICE. Dammit not a single hint of alcohol on the drinks we ordered. We had three towers-- THREE before we finally decided to forget about getting piss-drunk and just get on the dance floor and pretend to actually be bombed just so we could dance. By then it was already 3AM and all of a sudden-- the horror of all horrors, the band MELLOWED DOWN! I almost wanted to scream and rebel and go crazy on the dance floor to the beat of  Side A's "Forevermore". >__<

SIGH. Next time, guys. Next time.

Defeated. Boredom at its finest.

Oh I almost forgot, this is part of Postcard Perfect.

Le Clarion du Dimanche Matin

That's just a fancy way of saying "Playing Clarion on Sunday Morning". Everything sounds sexy in french. haha

As you may have noticed, I adore black-and-white, retro/vintage reprints with human subjects. They are THE BEST. And I am really extra grateful to the postcrossers who granted my wish (eherm, without getting any postcard from me in exchange. Don't judge me, I'm a struggling student and I email them long replies and countless thank-you's. har har, *defensive*)

So anyway, this post is to honor and thank fellow postcrosser Hannah for this lovely postcard. The photo was taken by Robert Doisneau, a french photographer in 1947. http://www.robertdoisneau.com/ His photos are original and out-of-the-box and it was a time when people were only starting to learn how to be less stiff and more playful in front of the lens. He also started juxtaposing social ironies and sprinkling a little spontaneity to his photos. His subjects are mostly people in the streets of Paris (pr: Pa-ree! haha) (wiki)

I don't really know much about wind instruments-- I actually did not know it was called a 'clarion'-- it looks like a trumpet to me. I played a little flute when I was young (hey, anyone can blow). My interest for it lasted at most three weeks. pfft, typical me.


Anyway, happy PP Wednesday!

Aren't FINISH postcrossers the AWESOMEST?! I love them. The Germans are great too. <3

Oh YES that's what you think it is. ^_~

Lindsay Lohan's Under B00bs!

Tee hee!!!

Ok OK,... OK!! Sorry if the card offends you and what not, please don't leave my lonely blog.

No? You're still leaving? Pretty please?

Still there? This is part of my collection of adcards. I have TONS of them--basically because they're FREE (oh you should see my face when I hear that word). Back in college, I would go to this bookstore every Friday (that's when the new designs come out) and hoard these adcards. Aaah... to be young and broke .

Err, I'm still broke-- and I am one a year older. SIGH. sigh indeed. dammit.


ANYWAY, enjoy miss Lohan's provocative ad campaign for Mark Ecko.

If you managed to turn away from her bosom and noticed the inset photo at the bottom, you would wonder what other tricks this card can do. The adcard includes a 'glyph' at the back which lets you interact (well, sort of) with Lindsay at the Mark Ecko site. It was really fun (if only I'm into Lindsay Lohan)-- you use your webcam and then you see a moving, talking mini lindsay hologram (yees, no kidding) on the glyph--yes, ON the postcard glyph. You can control how you want to watch her and spin her and stuff. BUT,  the hologram is actually just on the web-cam shot in the computer screen, not in the real world. (oh snap.) It's still genius-- if you record the video and show it to your friends, it appears as if you have a Lindsay hologram on your  palm (or desk or wherever you place the postcard).

It's best for guys with nothing to do. If you know what I mean. wink wink.

Which brings me, GUYS (or gals) with nothing to do and wants to get this LiLo adcard with its added tricks, just drop me a message. :) PM if you're too shy. har har.

(I'm not sure if the Mark Ecko site is still up, though. teee heee.)
