E! 101 Reasons the 90's Ruled

I have been meaning to blog about this since the day I watched this countdown on QTV, which was January this year. It has been more than 8 years since the 90's decade ended and it has been just the start of the year, what could be more appropriate than to have a list enumerating the things that went popular during that time. It was a break from the traditional what-happened-the-previous-year highlights countdown. Actually, the list has been around for 5 years now, the program by E! first came on year 2004 and was televised on E! channel. I am sure glad they still aired it here in the Philippines even though it's been years since it was first aired and I am doubly glad that I was able to catch it.
