Billie Jean is just a girl

Billie Jean, a song composed by Michael Jackson, is now 3 decades old. This song has a 29- second intro which reports say the producers wanted to be shortened from the track. But, the king of pop said no. He argued that "that's the jelly of the song" and makes him want to dance.

It was mixed 91 times before it was released. The song was only the second single from MJ's Thriller album. This song was also known for one of Michael's signature moves--the moonwalker.

It came along with a music video which reports say MTV didn't want to play at first. Eventually, they put the video in rotation. MJ wrote this song not for any x or girl in particular. He said in interviews that the song was based on groupies he and his brothers met on the road when he was still part of Jackson 5.

MJ also had a good feeling about the song. While writing the song, he knew Billie Jean would be a hit and it was.

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...

Olivia Newton-John, Cherrie Gil at Lydia De Vega

Nakaka blues naman... Para sa aming mga bata noon, simple lang ang buhay. Pag gising, may hilamos o wala, gagayak ka na sa panaderya. Bibili ka ng pandesal at mantekilya, kahit pupungas pungas pa. Bawal ang bumangon ng tirik na ang araw, at ang huling gigising ang siyang magliligpit ng banig, kumot at mga unan. Dahil sabado, pwede ka makinig ng radyo o manood ng TV. Pwede ka rin magpatugtog ng plaka. Isa si Olivia Newton John sa nagpaantig ng puso ko noon. Nalungkot ako una kong marinig yung I Honestly Love You. Isa yun sa maraming kanta na nirecord ko sa tape. Kasi noon, kung wala kang pambili ng songhits, ite-tape mo yung mga kanta, at pau-lit-ulit mong pakikinggan hanggang sa makabisa mo. Markado yung boses ni Olivia kaya naman nung lumabas yun Hopelessly Devoted at iba pang kanta sa Grease, laking pasalamat ko at nagka plaka kami nun pati nung Xanadu. May skating rink noon sa Luneta, swerte na napapasama ako sa mga ate ko noon. Tuwing tinutugtog iyun Xanadu, pakiramdam...

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...
