Aspen Cologne

Raise your hands up if you're one to have loved this scent. I know I did.

And as you know, SM Department Store has got it all for you.

The Special Seasoning For Everything

...says Knorr Seasoning, circa 90s. I honestly think their old packaging was better.

Where does one use Knorr Seasoning? As said in the title, "for everything"--save for desserts, of course. I even use this to flavour my bland rice porridge during those sick days when my taste buds are failing my brain.

Who Is Sarah Jane Paez?

While other people got worked up with different digital conventions (some of which I actually attended haha), I got busy writing and finding new old stuff to share with the anonymous world.

So as my title asks, who is Sarah Jane Paez? Well, she is one of the more famous women who won a title in Binibining Pilipinas (yes, the beauty pageant!). After winning the 1989 BP tiara and sash, she went on to become a fashion model throughout the early 90s. It was during this time that she became an endorser for Wranco jeans, the proof being this minimalistic print ad that unfortunately went through my scissor-cutting craze when I was seven years old (hence the cut-up piece of Wranco's logo).

Sarah Jane Paez is currently living a private life--she's now enjoying motherhood in her early 40s and is also a proud spa business owner. And in case you're curious, this is how she looks like now (now being 9 years ago. Haha):

I think Sarah Jane has aged gracefully. Incidentally, Wranco is still a surviving apparel brand in the Philippines. Where to find Wranco jeans? Sa SM department stores (probably nationwide).

Knorr Pork Cubes

Apparently in mid 90's "pork cubes" was a new thing. Now we have tamarind, shrimp, and beef. Ayos! So many broths to choose from hehe.

Siksik sa linamnam!

Ito na ang sarap na matagal niyo nang hinahanap-hanap! Mula ngayon, may bagong sarap na sisiksik sa inyong mga lutuin! Alay ng inyong paboritong Knorr Cubes, bagong Knorr Real Pork Cubes. Siksik sa linamnam ng tunay na pork dahil mayroon itong real pork meat.

A Totally Off-Topic Post

How do you change the default language here in Blogger? I already changed mine to English but I still find Tagalog words like "puna", "etiketa",  and other words inserted between lines. This blog sounds like Kris Aquino on a bad day. Dammit nakakabasag ng trip!

Yun lang kthxbye.

P.S. Salamat in advance sa tulong na ilalagay niyo sa comment box. Hohoho.

Gee Your Print Ad Is So Colourful!

Yes, the ad is pretty colourful. And nice use of font as well. What font is this, anyway? Arial Round? Haha. Napakahaba ng name ng product na ito; malamang kahit ayaw nila, pinarangalan na ito ng Guinness Book of World Records bilang "Longest, In-Your-Face Brand Name".

Scanned and saved as it is.
Ang ad na ito ay mistulang pasimuno ng Web 2.0 designs. Gradient na lang, kumpleto na eh.

Sa bahay namin dati madaming malalaking bote--exactly this opaque kind--of Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific Shampoo. In my mom's words: It gives volume to limp hair and it's not that expensive. So, uso sa bahay ang magsabi ng "paabot po ng Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific Shampoo, please." Kung nagmamadali dahil late na, usually "paabot po ng Gee, please."na lang.

And of course, my perennial blog question: is this product still available in the market?

Stalling!

Ang gusto ko lang naman ay mag-blog at mag-share. Apparently last year's shiznit has caused me to abandon this blog for a while and succumb to life's bitchin'. But I'm back, baby!

I'm back!

Yun lang kthxbye.
