Un-survivng the Fantasy Booking

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.

Lookback: Batch 2011

It’s been three years since this episode aired on Philippine television; and of course, yours truly, was one of those million (should I say) college graduates from batch 2011.

And since it’s Labor Day, and by coincidence... a Thursday (or should I say... #ThrowbackThursday), let’s take a trip back to 2011 and review this episode once again.

#ThrowbackThursday

2013 na nga, pero sarap balikan ang panahon no? Akala mo twing Miyerkules, Biyernes, Sabado at Linggo ka lang makakapagsenti ukol sa mga old school na bagay? Akala ko rin e.

Isa akong batang 90s, kaya huwag ka nang magtaka kung ilang taon na ako. Pero sa halip na makiuso ako sa mga nauusong bagay ngayon. Mas nasasarapan pa kong tanawin ang alaala ng nakaraan, noong panahon na marami pang sitcom sa gabi kesa sa telenobela, na ang Fiesta carnival ang pinakamalapit na aliwan, at ang palabas sa COD Cubao ang pinakacheapest form ng quality entertainment (yan ay kung wala ka pang pang-sine pag Christmas). Walang digicam, modernong cellphone noon at ang Beeper, Tamagotchi at Viewmaster pa ang mga gadget nun. Wala pang mp3 at DVD at ang Betamax, Cassette Tape at ultimo ang Laser Disc pa ang mga patok na bagay noon. Pero buti na lang, narito pa rin sila. At kung wala man, may mga litrato pa rin na pwedeng ipaskil sa Facebook at sabihing “buti na lang, naabutan ko ang mga ‘to.”

O minsa'y mas okay pang magbalik-tanaw sa mga video ng palabas na napapanood mo nun (pati ultimo ang mga commercial) sabay i-tweet sa Twitter na may hashtag na “#ThrowbackThursday.”
