tinubuan ako ng sungay during the 80s. nung pumasok ang 1980, 15 years old ako at uhugin. when the decade ended in 1990, i was 25 and irrevocably changed. kaka graduate ko lang at may trabahong maganda. in a year or so, i would be happily married.

i hated the 1980s. di ko kasi gusto ang style ng damit: baston na maong na may zipper sa laylayan, technicolor crayon shoes, spikes, ang buhok ng mga babae ay korteng pagodang di mo malaman.

i loved the 1980s. lahat ng dapat kong malaman sa buhay ay dito ko natutunan. love, loss, lifelong friendships formed, virginity lost, found god, lost god, got education, exciting job, found true love.
