The Scene Around: MAD RUSH

11/30/2015 4:58:25 PM

Friday the 27th may be a helluva-buzzy evening due to payday, heavy traffic and a then-long weekend coming. But somewhere at the Bonifacio Global City, it was a night of adventure for the masculine race as Sky LIFE Men Zone presented MAD RUSH: THE ULTIMATE PARTY TRIP.

The Scene Around: KINK Mixtape Launch

10/3/2015 4:01:56 PM

Sometimes all we want in life is not just a nighttime to spend nor even a partner to be with us for the rest of our lives (that’s why the word “forever” is the root of argument in the eyes of the cult I’d like to call love); there are instances where all we want is some music which will not just touch our heart, mind, and soul; but also, will ignite a spark for something sensual.

Flick Review: Mga Rebeldeng May Kaso

11/19/2015 5:48:25 PM

It’s been a while since the last time I watched a movie. And just a bit long while, I managed to take a peek on one of the entries for Cinema One Originals called Mga Rebeldeng May Kaso.

Clutch!

11/22/2015 9:35:54 PM

Say, it’s been a very long while since the last time I watched a basketball game LIVE. And as far as the local collegiate basketball is concern, the habit was almost nowhere to be found. Can you blame a busy guy? Can you blame me for being not affiliated with any of the NCAA or UAAP schools? While in fact, I’m just a hoops junkie. Yes, as generally plain and simple as that.

Everyone's A Terrorist

Tama si Heneral Luna (o si John Arcila na gumanap nito; o Jerrold Tarog na isa sa mga nagsulat ng script) nung sinabi nya na “Mga kapatid, mayroon pa tayong mas malaking kaaway kaysa mga Amerikano—ang ating sarili.”

Playback: We Are Imaginary – Pencil Me In

11/19/2015 5:27:17 PM

Maybe I am missing a lot in dealing with choices, especially when it comes to hearing music. At one point of my life, I listened to my copy of the Jack Daniel’s On Stage compilation where this track became part of the 14-track CD.

Survival for the Championship

11/19/2015 7:00:12 PM

Seth Rollins was perhaps on his path to overthrow CM Punk’s championship tenure until an injury prevented the WWE to do so. He blew his knees as he tried to do a powerbomb during a house show in Dublin, Ireland and will be missing in action for 6-9 months.

Sad, right? But that’s life. That’s the harshest aspect in the world of sports. You might not lose a game to your opponent. But if bad luck strikes, injuries can make you feel a sore loser. And even if you unstrap the kayfabe logic here, no one wants to suffer an injury that way. Why? Because that’s not even part of the plan.

With that being said, it’s quite unfortunate for Roman Reigns to also lose his contention slot for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Yes, just like that. He had to undergo a 16-man tournament, but heck, he chose to take the path anyway—right after shoving Triple H’s offer to be a “sellout.”

Un-survivng the Fantasy Booking

11/19/2015 6:39:01 PM

As much as I wanna feel excited for Survivor Series, I ended up hitting the dismayed emoticon.

And why not? The theme for Survivor Series is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker; and the only way to do so is by having him the captain of the Survivor Series team for the latest edition.

I guess the WWE creatives are trying to break everyone’s expectation; considering professional wrestling is “scripted” by nature.

Quits. With Reservations.

11/19/2015 5:02:50 PM

Minsan pinanood ko sa YouTube ang video na naglalaman ng panayam ni Karen Davila kay Alma Moreno. Ito ay ang parte ng November 15 episode ng Headstart kung saan ang panauhin ay isa sa mga tatakbong senador sa darating na 2016 Presidential Elections sa ilalim ng tiket ni Bise Presidente Jejomar Binay.

The Scene Around: saGuijo Turns 11

11/19/2015 2:33:34 PM

Rarely would I go to bars that are far-flung distance from either my residence or workplace. Mostly, I would give a go-sign if the event was held around Quezon City, Pasig City, or Marikina vicinity; especially if it’s nighttime.

But on that first Saturday of the evening, yours truly decided to drop by on one of the popular bars in the metro called SaGuijo.

Seems the freaks went unleashed in the France’s capital city Paris during Friday the thirteenth, eh?

Cut the fucking F pun. This is not funny at all (pardon). Not a single human being (unless you’re a ruthless mutherfucker violently-driven bitch) wants a single act of terror to rule the world; especially at the city where love rules like Paris.

The Pre-catfight Square-Off

11/15/2015 10:51:56 AM

Seems this world’s getting chaotic little by little. Explosions, attacks, and even altercations trigger a worldwide pandemonium. Well, we could only hope for justice to prey down the culprits in the recent suicide bombings in Paris, as well as the other mishaps around the world such as the recent earthquake that rocked Japan.

Also, prayers for the untimely lost souls and damaged by these sets of catastrophes. Nobody wants to hear or witness such happenings.

However, in the world where everything is a cockpit-like warfare called sports, the main catfight seems interesting.

WWE's Hell In A Cell may not be scheduled in the exact Halloween evening, but certainly was a perfect treat for such.

What’s the reason to say not to? You got two cage fights, and a fitting character in The Undertaker? Plus, kinda ironic in the set-up... the city of Los Angeles (that's a good introduction, Michael Cole!).

Without any further ado, let’s get down to business.

As of this writing I am about to write new entries. 

Well, not really “new” since I have tons of backlogs on my list as a blogger. Sure, I did numerous commentaries, features, rantings, and even writing about the events I personally attended. Especially when we’re talking about music scene or specifically, gigs.

NOT A Holiday

11/1/2015 12:43:58 PM

Punyeta. Ang daming maling bagay na nagiging tama sa panahon na ito. At hindi lang ito usapin ng lohika na ginagamit ng mga tao sa panahon ngayon.

Ano ang tinutukoy ko? Ito lang naman.

Pasensya na, mga pare. Pero hindi po holiday ang ika-2 ng Nobyembre, taong kasalukuyan.
