The Scene Around: Vic Viper (2016)

07/07/2017 02:06:48 AM

A lot of gamers would obviously know what this band really offers. Vic Viper,  known for covering lots of game sounds and scores, was in the country late last year. And they hit PADRE inside the Collective on the rainy night in December as part of their Philippine leg tour.

Hand-Picked 2016 (The 9 Best Albums and EPs of 2016)

03/01/2017 12:32:10 AM

I know. It's barely 60 days into 2017 already. Maybe it's been way too late to make a posting about whatever shenanigans that took place in 2016. Well, I could pass out the list of the gigs I made since I had not made it to the big ones during that year, as well as not making the list of awesome matches in professional wrestling and the highlight reel of current events (by which deaths and politics had been taking the spot light to the extent that I cannot be able to digest either one of them).

But certainly, even if two months have already passed by, I don't think I could be able to prolong the wait for this – the list of the best albums for the year 2016. After all, this was the time I managed to get some of the best ones while I heard the others via Spotify.

Initially I want to do a list of 16 for this supposedly-yearender list. However, I trimmed it down to nearly a half. So that being said, here are my 9 hand-picked albums that rocked the past year.

Ito ang hirap sa mga tao dito sa Pilipinas eh. Gusto ng pagbabago, pero pag andyan na yung pagbabago, panay pa rin naman ang reklamo. Minsan, ang hirap lang lumugar.

Kung maalala, noong isang buwan ay inanunsyo na ang walong opisyal na kalahok sa ika-42 na Metro Manila Film Festival, bagay na umani ng samu't saring reasyon – pero isa sa mga ehekutibo ng kilalang film ang umangal.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Battleground 2016

08/01/16 11:24:38 PM



Before we know it, the WWE already unveiled their new era as SummerSlam approach. And that being said, the last PPV to be staged in the then-typical way was WWE Battleground. Still, no WWE stories came to an end without a bang on it; and by means, we have seen factions getting split (thanks to the WWE Draft happened five days before), and rivalries conclusion – and that includes the brotherhood's championship chase.

It was a night where The Wyatt Family and The Club were torn apart, where a destined to “fight forever” between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn should come into a halt, and where the former members of The SHIELD battled each other for who's the greatest member with that WWE Championship worn on his shoulder. It was also a night of decision on which McMahon will emerged at the top of the game.

And moreover, which brand will control the most prestigious title in the world of sports entertainment? Will it be RAW or SmackDown?

These questions were answered at the unveiling of the WWE Batlleground happened eight days ago at the Verizon Center in Washington DC.

Revenge and Ascension to the Throne

Emergence. This is the word that described best about LeBron James. After being a choker in the past two NBA Finals series as the leader of Cleveland Cavaliers, James carried his team back into the biggest stage of professional basketball world and all the way til they reached the pinnacle of success, the NBA Championship! All that despite being almost buried down in the deep midway through their best-of-seven semifinal series against (and again) then-defending champs Golden State Warriors.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Finals

I know it's been quite late to do this. Two games have passed by, and we have seen the utmost and the unquestionable domination of the defensing champions. Perhaps, a 3-1 deficit at the Western Conference Finals served them as a wake-up call; keeping their hopes of making history (on a good note) alive and salvaged themselves from marking a bad one. (After all, who would like to see a 73-9 winning team go to waste in the battle for the representation of the current's most dominating conference at the NBA?)

The 2016 WWE Royal Rumble has just got more royalty with its new logo and presentation, though of course the stage set-up still sucks since Payback 2014. But hey, I think we are about to be treated in a special storyline presenting the current poster boy Roman Reigns.

Well, I kinda wonder: this should have been made earlier since WrestleMania 2015. But anyway...

One vs. All

As far as the live tweets of WWE Monday Night RAW is concerned, Roman Reigns faced Sheamus with Mr. Vince McMahon as the match referee. Obviously this created buzzing stirs among wrestling fans, even if we all know it’s scripted as fuck.

2016 Na! E Ano Ngayon?

Bagong taon na, ano magbabago ka pa ba?

Naku, huwag na. Ano namang babaguhin mo? Ano naman ang bago kung magbabagong taon na? Ano naman ang mga mangyayari ngayong 2016? Maliban sa mga hula na sinesensationalized ng mass media at ginagawang panakot sa madla?

2016 na! E ano ngayon?

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Womanizer Daw

11/30/2015 7:57:50 PM

Okay, umamin si Davao City mayor at ngayong tatakbong president sa 2016 elections na si Rodrigo Duterte na isa siayng babaero. Misogynist, o womanizer sa ibang terminolohiya.

Ngayon, ano na? Ano naman ngayon?
