National Problem: Internet Connection

7/29/2013 3:48:50 PM

Isa sa mga bagay na pinakakilangan ng tao… ay ang internet connection!

Seryoso? Oo nga. Intenet connection. Sa panahon na halos importante pa sa mga ito ang kanilang gadget kesa sa pagkain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw, ang internet connection ay hindi dapat balewalain.

Let's face it: one of the least interesting topics we used to have in our respective everyday lives is "science." And with the advent of climate change issues, most of us tend to ignore everything that we may need to know. But the even worst scenario is if all else fails, I mean everything around us are totally ravaged due to our own share of indolence, unawareness and failure to prepare, we blame the government.

Flicks For Picks: 11 movies for 2013

11/9/2013 12:05:12 AM


I have seen eleven movies for this year. And it’s very rare for somebody like me to watch movies on the cinemas for that kind of number.


And if you asked me on what are my best picks for flicks for the year two thousand thirteen, let me remind you that everything that you will read on this post, was all just my opinion.

Here are my rankings for that:

The Pick: History

11/15/2013 4:23:27 PM

Naalala ko ang tropa ko habang nasa gitna kami ng laot (pauwi kami mula Marinduque nun), sinabi niya kasi na “ang kasaysayan ay pumapanig lamang sa isa. Dahil ito ay nasusulat lamang ng sinumang naka-survive sa panahon na iyun.”

Pero fast-forward na tayo sa dos-mil-trese.

Saktong-sakto yata ang programang ito sa tinatawag na “throwback thrusday,” o mas maganda siguro, #throwbackthrusday. Oo, sa panahon na usong-uso pa yata ang magsalita ng #hashtag kesa sa mga salita mismo, ito ay isang makabuluhang post sa Twitter, instagram o kahit Facebook.

When Love Is Over-Rated

8/3/2013 1:10:48 PM

Minsan, ba nagiging over-rated ang pag-ibig? Oo, kapag (1) hindi ito isinapuso ng maayos; (2) 'pag nakalimutan mo nang gamitin ang utak; (3) kung sarili mo na lang ang iniisip mo; (4) kapag ginamit mo ‘to bilang capital sa negosyo; at (5) kapag nagpadala ka sa bugso ng iyong emosyon.

Oo, love can be over-rated sometimes nga. Dahil bumebenta ito, minsan ay nakakaumay na. mula sa mga telenovela hanggang sa lokal na pelikula hanggang sa showbiz balita (at kahit nga pulitika dahil single ang kuya mo sa tanan ng kanyang panunungkulan), hanggang sa mga tsismisan ng kapitbahay mo.

13 For 2013 – The Very Best

12/29/2013 11:25:28 AM

As the year 2013 comes to a close, and out of 358 posts made by yours truly, here are my thirteen posts that are... well, my personal favorite. I used to wonder though why should I do the culmination via this one. But anyway, the list is not based on how many hits do an article have. I repeat, it’s all my choice. Go it? Good.

Bustin’ Blocks (The Notable WWE Matches in 2013)

12/13/2013 3:37:04 PM

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.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: MMFF is a Business

“It’s all for business.”

Yan ang pinakadahilang kung bakit nasisira ang kalidad ng mga pelikula sa Pilipinas, lalo na kung ang usapan ay ang mga kalahok sa Metro Manila Film festival.

Kung ayaw mong maniwala, pannorin mo ang ulat na ito ni Jove Francisco na umere sa palabas na Reaksyon ng TV5.

Sa totoo lang, kahit wala pa ang segment na ito ay solido na ang pahayag ni Direk Joey Reyes ukol sa Metro Manila Film Festival. Naalala ko pa rin ang solidong “direk statement” sa kanyang segment sa palabas na Showbiz Police.
