I thought you guys might get a kick out of watching the very first Royal Tru Orange commercial that came out waaaaaaayyyyy back in 1988 (yup, twenty friggin’ years ago). This is the link to that website.  You guys might be interested to note that the first set of Royal commercials were directed by the late great Lino Brocka.

Ah, nostalgia always brings back the fizz in me.  

This commercial was posted by Jason Magbanua, an excellent wedding videographer who captured my wedding last March 7, 2008.  Incidentally, the link to Jason’s site also includes the photo montage and onsite video from our wedding day.  If you want to read more about the wedding, check out the blog entitled Heavensent.

Since we are on the subject of weddings, let me share with you pictures from our wedding by (insert your favorite superlative) Pat Dy.  Aside from wedding photography, Pat Dy is an excellent wedding photographer. He has has shot several covers for me in Manual Magazine, and he also shot the cover of my book, ‘Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me’.

By the by, my wife Vanessa also did her share of commercials in the day. She was one of the Penshoppe models back in 1994 along with then-unknowns Paolo Bediones and Ryan Agoncillo.  Her ‘love team’ in the commercial was Paolo Bediones.  Check this out.

Care to share your memories of the eighties, if its not too traumatic?
