Mmmmmm.....

Menudo!

Yeah, they were big in the Philippines then.

Robbie Rosa and Company, with the boyish Ricky Martin later melted the hearts of so many young girls of the “Bagets” generation that even spawned a song, “I’m Going Back to the Philippines” intended for their Filipina fans.

Lea Salonga was once part of the Puerto Rican Boy Band Act, at least for the song, “That Situation.”

I’ve come across these clips while trolling YouTube the other day and I am sharing them to you all Menudo- lovers and haters alike. LOL

Let’s take a side trip down memory lane…

What a trip down memory lane for me! Even I, was surprised with myself that I still know most of the songs lyrics and sang along with Robby Rosa esp. with the first one & Pls. Be Good to Me. I felt like a teenybopper once again,heheheheh. How amusing to see the fashion trends of those days- skinny jeans, poofy hair,etc. ..Crush ko noon sa Menudo was Roy Rosello. I googled him sometime ago, he was the least known daw among the members. Figures... I always root for the underdog!

Self-confessed Menudo fan here. Oh wait, make that Robbie Rosa fan. I didn't care that much about the other four guys. I still know the songs sung by Robbie Rosa by heart. It's just unfortunate, though, that Robbie's career never took off that much after Menudo.

Another One Bites the Dust

The Stardust Resort and Casino, that historic 63 acres of fun on the famous Las Vegas Strip widely known for its big, big excesses in everything during its heyday was finally erased from the map at 2:33 A.M. on March 13, 2007. And She did it with a bang and in typical Las Vegas fashion complete with fireworks and an implosion that was watched by thousands of spectators who in the end have to scamper for their precious lives when the dusts and smoke of the Old Lady came running after them. LOL Another landmark in the ever- changing, neon- lit, money- powered gambling and entertainment capital of the world gone-- A victim of the dreaded Vegas curse: where fortunes could change hands overnight; where lives could be made or broken by the roll of the dice; where the only thing constant is --Change. But I am not a gambler so what do I care? Shhh, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... From Dust to Dust goes the legendary Las Vegas Casino STARDUST and its 48 years of memories ...

Cool As Ice

I watched the other day on ESPN the finals of the 2007 International Skating Union Ladies Figure Skating World Championships held in Tokyo, Japan from March 19- 25 and narrowly won by hometown gal Miki Ando over her more popular teammate and crowd- favorite Mao Asada by the narrowest margin of 195.09 to 194.45 . I always love watching those pretty ballerinas on ice since way, way back. I love their elegant movements and their grace under pressure. I guess I like watching all kinds of sports from mixed martial arts to basketball to car racing and of course, figure skating. The competition for this year’s edition is not that deep name- wise. Gone were the likes of Shizuka Arakawa, Michelle Kwan, Irina Slutskaya and Sasha Cohen who never fails to electrify the skating world with their showmanship and grace on the ice rink. But their absences were made up by the presence of the young and talented skaters eager to prove their mettle as worthy successors to the Rink Goddesses that once
