10 Worthless Stories of 2013

Sa dinami-dami ng mga balita noong nakaraang taon, hindi rin makakaila na mayroon ding naglipanang mga walang kwentang kwento na nauso pa sa sirkulasyon ng ating media.

Una kong inanusyo sa Facebook ang mga nakalistang ‘wa kents’ na balita bago pa matapos ang 2013. Pero dahil sa pabago-bago ang listahan, may mga pagbabagao akong sinuri nbago ako mag-come up sa pag-paskil nito (kaya actually, yun din ang dahilan kung bakit na-late ako ng matindi sa paggagawa nito).

Bakit nga ba sila nakakairita sa mata ng publiko? At bakit pa naging parte sila ng kasaysayan ng mga newscast at news feed sa Facebook at Twitter? Ayon sa aking propesor sa isang major subject, ang balita ay dapat naglalaman ng “prominence.” Kaya kahit magtaka at magreklamo ka pa ng bonggang-bongga, hindi kasi makakaila na ang karamihan sa listahn na ito ay naglalaman ng mga prominenteng pangalan, personalidad man o material na bagay.

Pero kung hindi mo mapigilan ang emosyon mo… problema mo na ‘yun (wag kasing pairalin yan na parang nagrereact ka sa Facebook kahit hindi mo pa nababasa ng buo ang isang post). Anyway, narito ang sampung over-rated-pero wala naman talagang substansiyang balita noong 2013.

Bustin’ Blocks (The Notable WWE Matches in 2013)

I first wrote this shit a few days before the last most-awaited electrifying showdown in Houston, Texas. However, I might update this thing soon, or maybe I’ll work on a part two to cope up with the other fights that I personally missed watching due to low reception of my free TV channel here at home and unavailability to access the other clips on the internet as well.

Okay, I might be a toughie. But I have to admit, my elementary classmates were even tougher than I do if we’re talking about knowledge in the sport of wrestling, the entire World Wrestling Entertainment and its superstars.

And it’s only this year when I managed to have some time watching the huge events on free TV, just like the old days when Channel 9 is still doing the boyish, if not equally-gendered broadcast programming. Yes, thanks to my now-defunct Cherry Mobile unit that has a free TV feature, I can managed to catch a thing on Studio 23 during its WWE broadcast.

But I’ll also give credit to my father for he granted our wish for more sensible programming thru Destiny Cable. Yes, in case you still rant “Why for the motherfucking hell sakes, the Smackdown is not airing on our local TV?” I can only give you an answer: Try FOX channel – I mean the Philippine version (it’s different from Fox Filipino).

Nah, forget the “scripted” reason though; I’ll say these are the best battles I have seen in the world of sports-entertainment known as WWE.
