1991
What were you doing back in 1991? Some of you may not even be born yet at that time. Back then I was in my elementary school days and if you ask me I don’t really remember things that happened aside from schooling. Looking up the major events that transpired the year via Wikipedia, here…

Darkness Falls
The rainy season’s full onset officially begins in the Philippines as typhoon Basyang (Conson) entered the country’s area of responsibility and had a landfall, and last night Metro Manila was just hammered by very, very strong gusts of winds (maximum of 120kph according to weather reports) as it traverses the island of Luzon. The result—darkness! …
