Who can ever forget this romantic part of Casper The Movie? It was the most “kilig” part of the movie because this was the time Casper turned into Devon Sawa (who was so cute by the way) and he danced with Kat (played by Christina Ricci. Watch this to reminisce about that cute romantic moment. Love is in the air!

Did someone just say Mr. Boombastic? Here’s that 90’s commercial (it’s so cute, reminds me of Gumby).

I used to have a very superstitious aunt. She once told me a story about how I can see the face of the man I am going to marry. Her instructions included: lighting up a candle at 12:00 midnight and facing a mirror. She asked me to pray while staring at the mirror.

Of course I didn’t do it. I’m not a believer in soulmates (violent reactions?). I love the idea but it sounds too good to be true. Adding to this soulmate cynicism is the childhood game of F.L.A.M.E.S. (we used to do this a lot in the sixth grade in the Philippines).

F.L.A.M.E.S stands for Friends, Lovers, Anger, Marriage, Engagement, and Soulmates. You get the name of two people. Cross out the similar letters in their names, and then total the number of the remaining letters. You then count the numbers against the acronym and then you get a future prediction of your ‘relationship’ with the person (whose name you wrote down beside yours).

Philippine TV recognized this mini phenomenon among the females and decided to capitalize on it. In the nineties, ABS-CBN launched a show entitled Flames. It featured the latest teen stars in various love stories which, made my after-school afternoons better.

Hey guys! I don’t know if this was aired during the 90’s but I can’t help but add it to our blog. It’s sooo cool! It’s just like the matrix entry we posted two weeks ago. Check it out! It’s amazing! hehe

You guys still remember the yellow gremlin-like creature living in the walls of the suburban home of Tommy Anybody?? Its MR. BOGUS!! This wacky character surfed around and fought the “dust bunnies” in Tommy’s kitchen or in Mr. Bogus’ alternate world called the “Bogusland”! Wacky ain’t it?

He’s like today’s Spongebob. Methinks.

I remember this movie like it was yesterday. Ahh..yes…Mrs. Doubtfire! I can still hear her voice or may I say HIS voice. Hehehe. This is a story about a couple who got divorced and the father, Robin Williams had a really bad visiting order for the children. He would do anything to be with his children, including disguising himself as a nanny. Try checking out your nearest video store to watch this great family movie again! Here’s the trailer.

Before being cast for the lead role in “Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa”, Camille began to look for luck in Little Miss Philippines too! Who knew?!

Long before Goin’ Bulilit was a kiddie show entitled, Eh Kasi Bata. It was hosted by the four popular child stars in the ninties namely RR Herrera, LA Lopez (who had this annoying high-pitched voice and incidentally, he’s also the singer of the show’s theme song), Cathleen Gokien, and of course, Aiza Seguerra!

The show I think, was ABS-CBN’s way to fill the gap that the Star Club left. It was also, in a way, defensive programming because GMA-7 was airing the Lucky Seven Club. I searched this on Youtube and all I found is a dance number from a mall show playing the Eh Kasi Bata theme. It still has LA Lopez’s voice so you can have a bad case of LSS (Last Song Syndrome) after watching the video. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
