Nostalgic Menudo
The 80′s are the years memorable for me. I spent my teen-age life on these years. And one phenomena that time is the MENUDO Mania. In those years this singing group from Puerto Rico conquered the Philippines (girls in particular). They are composed of 5 teenage boys. The group doesn’t have permanent members, they keep on replacing when they reach the age of 16 or 18 (can’t remember) for “Menudo” means “little boy”.
When they first came here in Philippines, the members are Robby Rosa (my fave), Charlie Rivera, Roy Rosello (replaced by Sergio Gonzales), Ray Reyes (replaced by Ray Acevedo) and Ricky Martin. Among the group, Ricky Martin still exists upto this time. I wonder where Robby is now? What he’s doing? What he looks like? Those were the days where I first watched live concerts (Folk Arts Theatre and Araneta Coliseum). I remember saving money from my allowance so that I can buy tickets, records, magazines, etc… 
Me and my friends even auditioned for Menudo Dance Contest in ABS-CBN 2.
I am being nostalgic now because I saw in news that Ricky Martin already have a twin. Just wondering why via surrogate mom…hmmm… anyways, congratulations Ricky for having wonderful children!
