Terms of Old

Back in the 70s and 80s, if you wore something really casual, people would say: "Naka-rugged ka na naman." Apparently, casual = rugged back then.

Just when I thought that term was old and forgotten, voila!

Landmark does have a way of bringing back old things.

FMM: Flashback(street)

Since a lot of the creative folks are within my age range, we all know and appreciate the concept of Friday Magic Madness. And we have it at the office as much as we possibly could.

Now, there are also a few millennials in the office, and we're trying to teach them the joys of this day of musical flashbacks. On Fridays, we encourage them to listen to "old" songs, particularly those from their childhood.

We asked one of the younger ones about her favorite pop song as a kid. Her reply: "My favorite when I was in Grade 1 was Backstreet Boys' song - 'I want in that way.'"



Then, we realized that this song was from 1999. And we were already working at that time. And she was grade 1.

Seriously?

Friday is a great day to feel old. Really old.

The old songs. (And singers, too.)

 

Looking at the upcoming concert acts in Araneta Coliseum, one can't help but sing that old David Pomeranz ditty: "The Old Songs."



Oh and look, David Pomeranz is having a concert here, too.
