The Pre-take: WrestleMania 32 - Winning Over The Jeers

3/30/2016 11:57:23 PM



As the Pre-take for WrestleMania continues, pressure around building the hype for the matches as well as the hopes for higher sales at stock, so were the disarray reactions from the WWE Universe. Well, we all know the story, right?

Malendorsement

3/30/2016 10:00:32 PM

Sa viral na mga video, nagkaroon ng isang kontrobersiyal na desisyon. Aniya, hindi ito pinaboran ng marami; bagamat hindinila alam na pawang trabaho lamang ang pag-endorso ng mga artista sa mga kakandidato ngayong eleksyon.

Bakit kanyo? Malamang, business yan eh. Raket-raket din pag may time.

The Pre-take: WrestleMania 32 - Power for Power

3/30/2016 10:40:32 PM



So, it was that time of the year again for the sports entertainment world. That Sunday full of nothing but storytelling thru combat forces and physicality which serves as a teleserye to the machismo world. Yes, just like your dramarama every primetime hours of 24/7, professional wrestling has a show like no other. Four (or even seven) hours of live entertainment, and that is called WrestleMania.

Alay-Basura

3/30/2016 8:06:50 PM

Isa sa mga dinarayong lugar tuwing Semana Santa ang lungsod ng Antipolo sa lalawigan ng Rizal. Sa katunayan, isa sa mga nakaugalian na ng mga Pilipino rito ay ang anwal na tradisyon ng Alay-Lakad, kung saan maraming mga deboto ang tinatahak ang mga pangunahing kalsada papunta sa simbahang Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage pagsapit ng hapon twing Huwebes Santo, at nagtatagal ito hanggang umaga ng Biyernes Santo.

Kaso, sa kabila ng pagpepenitensya, may isang problema na mas malala pa yata sa pagiging mortal sin ng ma tao: ang pagtatapon ng basura sa kung saan-saan. 

In 3-6 Months?!

Sinsasabi ng isang opresidentiable na pangalan ay Rodrigo Duterte na susupilin niya ang krimen sa pinakamaagang bahagi ng kanyang termino sakali mang maluklok siya sa 2016 Presidential Elections.

Aniya, in 3-6 months.

It was nothing but a disappointment on Toronto as WWE waged RoadBlock as part of their buildup for the show of shows, WrestleMania.

Oo, ang litratong 'yan kung saan ay nilarawan si Grace Poe na isa siyang madasalin at Maka-Diyos, mga bagay na hinahanap natins a isang kakandidato sa pagkapangulo.

Same Feud, New Chapter

3/25/2016 6:20:23 AM

This is one of the rivalries I am definitely looking up to this year. Yes, it’s a rekindled one from their pre-WWE eras. And we’re talking about Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Inglis Bersyon

03/21/2016 04:49:55 PM

So politics is “so elite,” eh? Just like the world of sophistication such as higher-taste of media, fashion, and even arts.

That would be believable if Mr. Teddy Boy Locsin's tweets were right. Recently, he expressed disdain on the usage of Tagalog dialect (not language) by certain candidates Mar Roxas and Grace Poe at the second edition of the 2016 PiliPinas Presidential Debates held at the University of the Philippines in Cebu City.

PiliPinas Delayed!

Grabe ang inabot ng tao kahapon. Grabe ang init ng ulo nila. Ang pagkabadtrip; pagkadismaya; galit na bigla na lamang pumutok sa kani-kanilang mga account sa Twitter at Facebook. Ikaw ba naman eh, ang maghintay sa kawalan eh. Kala tuloy nila, may forever nga...sa paghihintay umere ang PiliPinas Debates.

Dahil sa isang matinding hindi pagkakaunawaan sa pagitan ng mga partidong sangkot, ito ay naantala nang mahigit nobenta minutos mula sa orihinal na nakatakdang oras. Ang pinakamainit na debate na nagsimula sana noong alas-5 ng hapon, ay halos 6:30 na ng gabi pormal nag-umpisa.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: PiliPinas Debates 2016 Part 1

3/20/2016 3:16:51 PM

Ngayong hapon gaganapain ang ikalawang edisyon ng PiliPinas Deabtes 2016, at gaganapain naman ito sa Cebu at mapapanood sa TV5.

Pero bago ang lahat, alin ang mga tumatak sa isaipan mo noong unang sumahimpapawid ang #PiliPinasDeabtes2016 sa GMA-7 na live na live din noon sa Cagayan De Oro? Maliban pa sa mga sandamakmak na commerical at pagiging kabado ni Mike Enriquez (Excuse me po!)?

From Puns to Fun

3/18/2016 9:50:07 PM

On an ordinary Friday where a lot of us are expecting the weekend to come -- plus the fact that we got tangled in the middle of summer heat due to a fire drill, let me tell you a story.

Well, that crashed my momentum so much that I ended up browsing a lot of feeds on Twitter by lunch time. And presto... ended up browsing a series of funny posts made by one of my friends at the independent music scene.

Magic Madness

The official logo of Magic 89.9, first used on early 2000s. Photo obtained at yvesarellano.wordpress.com
First heard this station on my old-but-digital PIONEER component player. It was a Friday afternoon, and they were playing music from the 1980s; one of my old favorite decades, thanks to my cousin and his collection of tapes as well as Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

The next time around I tuned in, it was a Sunday night fill of slow jams I used to hear from my sister's 'burned' CDs. Late 90s to present; 112 to Boyz II Men. Suddenly, that made my interest shift from masa to the cliché ones. 

Yes, that was the time I made the BIG SWITCH to Magic 89.9.

The Biking Samaritan

03/15/2016 02:10:05 PM

Masyadong marahas ang mundo, lalo na kung ikaw ay nasa kalsada. Maraming nag-uunahan. Maraming ayaw magbigay-daan. Maraming arogante. Epitome ito ng machismo at ego ng karamihan sa mga kalalakihang nagmamaneho, dalawa man ang gulong mo o apat. At higit sa lahat, ayaw ng batas; ang irony lamang sa isang lipunang sa sobrang laya ay naghahanap sila ng mga batas na dapat sundin. Oo, lalo na kung maraming problemang nagaganap.

At ang isang biskileta, sa mata ng mga tipikal, ay minamaliit. Hindi ka ba nagtataka kung bakit minsan may namatay sa siklista kahit nasa “bike lane” siya? Hindi ka ba magtataka kung bakit ultimo ang isang kilalang reporter sa telebisyon

Clash of the Bigwigs (and Their Egos)

3/12/2016 1:29:56 PM

I know; we have seen superheroes having a rival with their fellow superheroes. Of course, there’s always room for the so-called clashing of the egos. Besides, even if they look very supernatural at one side, they are human too. They have weaknesses just like every single one of us.

PlayBack: The Strangeness - Easy Boys and Easy Girls

2/29/2016 7:54:29 PM

I first heard them as part of that indie music program established and sponsored by a popular whiskey brand. They were listed track number 4 at the CD of Jack Daniel’s On Stage released on 2015.

The Strangeness is something I have never seen live; but one thing that impressed me most about them is they can make old school music sounded like new. The first thing I heard about them was a cover of my favorite Eagles song on YouTube.

The year was 1999. Every Friday night (at around 7:30 or 8:00), I would sit at the couch in front of my TV and watch this cartoon series airing once again—after numerous times since its inception 22 years ago.

So matapos ang limang buwang kalbaryo, tuloy na tuloy na nga ang pagtakbo ni Grace Poe. Yan ay matapos umanong hatulan ng Korte Suprema ang disqualification case na naunang inapela ng kanyang kampo laban sa Commission of Elections. Sa botong 9-6, napatunayang unconstitutional ang paghatol ng COMELEC na kanselahin ang kanyang certificate of candidacy.

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is on the verge of staging their build-ups for WrestleMania. This past Royal Rumble, we had the second edition of WWE Fast Lane. In six weeks time, the question: is it really a quicker route for the Show of Shows?

Upside Down

03/08/2016 09:28:13 AM

Imagine a lopsided result of a heaven-and-hell game. And I mean “heaven and hell” because one team is currently sitting atop of the league standings; while one was on the verge of rebuilding for the next season.

Choking from the Upset Victories

3/6/2016 10:13:07 PM

Just a few months ago, we have witnessed a sudden turn of events inside the octagon. It was at the land down under when the woman of top was knocked down -- and off from her throne. And while we have witnessed the first downfall of the Golden State Warriors, we have seen an instant knock-out punch that suddenly changed the landscape for the UFC welterweight division.

Playback: MilesExperience – Down

03/03/2016 04:08:41 PM

Hearing MilesExperience as a novice-leveled listener and only having music channels and radio stations as your only resorts would only give you an impression of these: the bunch of gwapitos who can woo every kolehiyala with their music; and the band who made two melodramatic jazz-soul-alternative tracks whom sounded either sultry, taboo-defying, or sexy at will (Love Supreme and Silakbo).

Quick Fix?

03/01/2016 12:01:28 PM

Twist and turns for over the past few episodes of Monday Night RAW since WWE Fastlane.

We get it. Roman Reigns won, but the crowd could not hold their displeasure of their own. And perhaps, that shows the audience have this kind of power, especially at the height of the Yes! Movement.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Fastlane 2016

It;s the last pay-per-view event before WrestleMania. A pit stop bridging the Royal Rumble and the Show of Shows. However, this are speeding up as stories went full-throttle as we approach the first Sunday of April. 

The stage is set on downtown Cleveland, but this ain’t the LeBron James show where he will take flight on the fastbreak.
