Stop by the Spice Girls is 20 years old

STOP by SPICE GIRLS

Can you imagine? That song we danced to from the Spice Girls is already 20 years old? STOP was produced for the group’s 2^nd album “Spice world.” The song was a baby of Geri Halliwel all due to the exhaustion the group was feeling at the time.

Ironically it was also Geri who put the stop to the number girl group of that decade. The group broke up a year after the movie. This song only landed on the number two spot of the charts, never making it to number 1. But to Filipinos back then, this song is number 1.

See this cute dance tribute of Regine Tolentino, who is a huge fan of the group. She appears as all five of the Spice Girls. Check out the video below.

Magnolia Of My Childhood

When you buy Magnolia ice cream, you are reminded of your childhood…those times when a trip to Magnolia House means sharing a peach melba or a banana split with your brother or sister and “hating kapatid” means the older sibling will be getting the biggest portion for having the bigger stomach….when birthdays mean your parents are going to give away cups of ube, vanilla, or chocolate flavors to your classmates while they greet you in unison “happy birthday classmate, praise be Jesus and Mary!” and you feel like a star for a day…when mid-play you stop on the sound of that kuliling and run back to pester your nanay for a pinipig crunch, ice drops or those twin popsicles which you never ever got because they were expensive and for throwing a tantrum you have to fold all the clothes in the aparador…those times when you actually watched a TV ad curious to know the next flavor of the month... or when you saved money to buy a pint of your favorite flavor (mine was Choco Marble) then locked y...

They Are Making A Come-back!!!

Whammos, jelly jooze, watchamacalliit, funwich, Tivoli ice cream, Eskimo pie, bubble cone pink with gumball at the bottom… I think i'd pass for a 90s kid. :) They said brands come and go, but I think brands, they fade because their most loyal customer base just grew up. But, am sure the aging market will welcome with all their hearts and stomachs brands that will leave them nostalgic. Like Whammos! Huwat?!!!! Whammos, a chocolate-filled cake slice that was a favorite of kids during the 90s, is back in the shelves. Well, mostly you can find this chocolate fudge in 711 stores. (This was first posted in the FB account July 9 this year :) ) Also making a comeback is Magnolia's twin popsies!!!! The popsies come in orange and c...
