How ‘jologs’ are you?

Remembering the past doesn’t just mean looking back to June 12, 1986. It can also mean channeling the 1990s — which, today, is known as the golden age of everything. So, for a few moments, forget Keeping up

with the Kardashians, and put away your Longchamps, Republiq nights, and impromptu Boracay getaways. Answer the following questions as honestly as you can — do not seek help from Google and/or your BBM friends. And in the rare event that you cannot remember anything at all, echosera ka. Try harder.
