#sentisabado

Every Saturday, twitter is plagued with tweets related to all things nostalgic with the common hash tag #sentisabado. During #sentisabado, tweeters from all over the Philippines tweet their fondest childhood memories from last week's theme of food-related memories, to favorite TV shows, to the most memorable scandals and personalities.

With all the advancements in technology, phenomena such as #sentisabado are stark reminders of how sometimes, we just want to go back in time. The time, as described by someone, when apples and blackberries were just fruits. Using technology, tweeters revisit the days when life was not complicated by all our gadgets. When all the technology we constantly interacted with were the Television and the Betamax player.
