Vintage finds
Surprise, surprise! I got all excited this morning after seeing some old copies of National Geographic Journal at the market, dating as far back as 1977. So “high” the feeling was, I only left the stall after taking with me issues that belonged to the ’70s and ’80s era. My seeming affinity with antiques, relics and the likes is magnified as well when I am some place historical such as the time my Humanities class (several years ago) went to Vigan for a field trip or when I traveled to Iloilo and saw Miagao Church for the first time. Priceless!
And to complete this entry, I included my version of “Dream a little dream of me” as background music. The original was sung by Louis Armstrong.
So here they are:
April 1977
February 1979
February 1986
inside NGJ 1979
Hippies era.

Hi Ma’am,
I am surprised you are a vintage fanatic. Me too! I’m into collecting old stuff. I’m collecting small antique pieces now after being tired of collecting (comics, stamps and coins, also carabao figurines).
As for your post Ma’am let me refer a store here in Los Baños, it’s called Practical shop: thrift shop. It’s a two story apartment filled with old books and magazines. I bet you can find all sorts of zines way older than 70’s. P20 pesos below. Some are even bonded in a “tahi” style with extra bulky jackets.
I will be taking snapshots of those magazines and be sending it to you.
