The WWE Thunderdome Experience

03/15/2021 10:33:28 AM

(Updated 07/17/2021 05:41:38 PM: Heads-up. The following has been written months before WWE end its Thunderdome arena program this past Friday, 16 July 2021.)

It's no secret that the pandemic has screwed the events industry in one way or another. Be it sports, corporate presentation, or even concerts, everything that involves this 6-letter word was practically paralyzed. For the worse part of the year, every city, town, or country has been placed on lockdown; which also meant shows have to be either rescheduled (until further notice) or cancelled; and audiences were forced to stay home.

The (Various) SummerSlam Watching Experience

08/22/2020 01:59:52 AM

It's a Holiday Monday in August 2017. My cab ride from my place in Marikina to BGC lasted for 20 minutes – faster by a whopping 55 percent compared to the usual travel time. As the clock ticked 6:21 AM, I rushed my way up to the second floor of Skinny Mike's Sports Bar and grabbed my ticket as the World Wrestling Entertainment's annual summer party is about to explode right before our very eyes.  

The Paradigm Shift

Hey there. What's up? 

It's been a very long ride. And for the first time in so many years, I am writing another 'wee hour' thoughts.

Sorrys, Thank Yous, and Goodbyes for 2016

12/24/2016 10:09:16 PM

Don't get me wrong. I didn't write this post because I want to end the year right now (well, maybe at some point but sine I don't have the power to do so, sorry na lang ako, hahaha!). But since I am planning to do some massive revamps in my life by after Christmas, might as well write something very personal to cap the year.

While 2016 has been a rocky road in the world of news – from passing of the celebrities to passing the torch on politics – probably some people have felt the same way. It wasn't been a good year for them either. It was NOT the year.

Patawad

11/14/2016 03:23:44 PM

This is something I wrote a few minutes after I had a recent heartbreak. Well, just to be clear, I didn't mean to pull off a Taylor Swift here, especially when I had a liter of beer already in my system. 

Unang-una sa lahat, gusto kong humingi ng paumanhin.

O patawad,

Pasensiya na.

Challenging Through Photographs

It's the last day of May 2016. Finally, the month where people have been ranting on each other has come to an end; I mean the election period has quite come to a close. In 30 days, we will see a new administration sine 2010.

Seven Hours

What can you do in seven hours?

Thank You, 2015. Hello, 2016!

12/31/2015 11:57:01 PM

So another year is now recorded at the history books. We all have our own share of stories. Some of us said 2015 was a good one for them, while others have stated otherwise.

If you asked me though, I had lots of ups and downs to the extreme level. There were times when I felt totally devastated or depressed; where I thought I suck in life big time; or maybe for a second I was a disappointment, or a failure.

Some people may actually point you to that direction with concern in their minds that you can do better. And that is something I am really thankful for.

Realizations by 12:30 AM

Since I hardly get some sleep at this very minute, I end up having a bunch of "12:30 midnight realizations."

On Nailing the "Job Security and Anniversary" Mark

05/26/2015 06:46:46 PM

There's nothing really much for me to write. It's like I still have a drained brain for me after having a roller-coaster ride for the past seven days—that includes a good news and two hassled nights. 

That's if we're talking about personal lives here.

The #NaDocdefAko Experience

4/22/2015 4:44:17 PM

Let me start this article with a question: Have You Heard Good Music Lately?

It’s weird that I am doing posts about nightlife recently. 

But here’s the thing though: it was only this year when the nocturnal in me just rejuvenated. And I mean rejuvenated by means of staying up all night, hanging out with people, and chilling out with the music playing. The third element was the very most important for me since I can’t live without music at all. Forget all the romantic shiznit (There is FOREVER in music, fools!), and the other harsh reality stuff as well.

Say, what the Helen of Troy am I talking about? 

No More Sleepless Nights in Eastwood City

1/16/2015 2:41:45 PM

Oh, dear Eastwood City. For the first time after some nth times, we met again. It’s like last week I was around the vicinity and just chilling, remember?

D.S.T. (Deep Serious Trouble)

3/5/2015 8:29:05 AM

Babala: ang mababasa ay maaring naglalaman ng mga malalaim na kataga at kaisipan ngunit wala itong kinalaman sa ilang bagay gaya ng isang sikat na pelikulang pang romansa’t drama (dahil malamang, hindi naman ako broken-hearted at lalong hindi naman ako fan ni tita Whitney).

Sa totoo nga lang, hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagsusulat nito e. Lalo na’t hindi naman ako sanay sumulat ng mga malalalim at may kinalaman sa aking personal na buhay. Sino ba ako, ‘di ba? Hindi naman ako gaya ng ilang internet sensation o yung mga superstar sa YouTube sa araw-araw ay may update sa buhay – daig pa nga nila minsan ang mga paborito mong iniiyakan, kinikiliga at ultimong mga kinamumuwian mo sa mga teleseryeng pinapanod mo.

“Dear Nightlife,

It’s been four years, seven months and almost twenty-seven days since the last time I had a time with you.

And now, I do really miss you so much. Hope to bump fists with you soon!

Your long-time friend,

SlickMaster”

Okay, let’s move on.

The Year Ender

12/31/2014 8:25:35 PM

First and foremost, I’ll try to make it short as possible, though you guys knew me for writing novel-ish liked length of posts. And at the moment, it’s been less than four hours before the turn of the year. And since I’ve been struggling to write much lately, I have to let the rush flow in to me in putting up this one. 

Breakout Semester

Sa bawat unos, may ahon. Sa bawat pagkadapa, may pagbangon. Sa bawat talo, may panalo. At sa bawat paglubog ng araw, may panibagong sisikat kinabukasan.

Climbing The Datum Origin

5/15/2014 8:24:26 AM

As yours truly, along with several friends, reached the island of Marinduque for the first time (in my lifetime), we are supposedly boarding a trip to the town known as Torrijos later that day.

Until a sudden change of plan went on, and early in that Friday morning, we hiked up on that mountain known as Datum Origin.

The Road to Antipolo

4/19/2014 11:04:45 AM

Around 10:10 PM at Marcos Bridge Marikina City.

I think I just had the most grueling challenge in my 23 years and almost 7 months of existence.

It’s been a very long while since I personally have thought of doing this – and I’m talking about ‘sacrifice’ for Holy Week. Yes, the one they called “Alay-Lakad.”
