Prom Season? Eh Ano Ngayon?

Dahil buwan ng pag-ibig ang Pebrero (dala ng ating matinding pagkahumaling sa Valentine’s Day), malamang, mayroon ding mga ‘prom.’

Eh kaso, ano naman ngayon?

The Rundown Slam: WWE Royal Rumble 2014

Before we hit the WWE’s Elimination Chamber this coming Sunday evening in Minnesota, let’s take a look-back in the past month’s edition of Royal Rumble.

Just My Opinion: The 2014 NBA All-Star Game

2/20/2014 7:20:21 PM

Perhaps, here’s something that I am doing for the second straight year: my take on the NBA All-Star Game.

Wait a second; have you noticed that during the past few years, three of the host cities in the mid-2000s were the same ones who got a chance to host another All-star weekend event?

If you hadn’t... well, I did. First, it was Los Angeles (2004 and 2011), then Houston (2006 and 2012), and now... New Orleans (2008 and 2014).

Sa totoo lang, isa nang cancer na terminal stage ang trapiko sa ating mga lansangan. Bakit ganun? Aba, maraming dahilan. Oo, NAPAKARAMING DAHILAN.

Throwback: 2008 NBA All-Star Game

2/13/2014 7:09:46 PM

It’s been five years since I first wrote in this site of mine a piece of something related to the NBA All-Star event, and it’s been a year since the last time I have done so. But anyway, let me allow you to take a trip back to the memory lane; to the setting where I haven’t even got engaged into this kind of venture.

Before we hit the Big Easy again, here’s a piece of some throwback chunks during the All-Star Game itself in 2008. I used to remember a busy Monday for me in Mendiola but still managed to catch everything up on the internet (aside from an audio league pass and player cam feature from my NBA.com account then), and managed to replay this on both YouTube and TV coverage.

Gone Too Soon, Tado.

Tutal lahat naman ay may kwento ukol sa namanaty na sikat na personalidad na iniiolo nila. Aba, wala ako eh. Isang karanasan lang ang maipapaskil ko.

At alam ko, hindi throwback Thursday ngayon. E ano naman?

Naalala ko pa ang kauna-unahang beses kong naengkwentrong ang mamang ito. Once upon a time, sa Save More Riverbanks (taong 2000 yun kung tama pa ang memorya ko; kung hindi? Mas maaga pa dun, mga 1999), ang ermat at pinsan ko ang unang nakapansin sa komedyanteng yun, samantalang ako ay walang kaide-ideya na nakikita nila ang isa sa mga pinapanood nila sa telebisyon.

The Scene Around: PBA Manila Clasico Semis Game 5

2/10/2014 12:43:34 PM

It’s been more than a year since the last time I watched a PBA game live from the venue itself.

With an exciting vibe on Game 5 with then teams Ginebra and San Mig tied with 2 apiece in their Philippine Cup semifinals, I took a chance to grab a ticket and a seat (though we can’t blame if things nowadays are kinda expensive) to the Big Dome to witness who will about to take a 3-2 lead in the 2014 PLDT HOME-DSL All-Filipino cup.

24 Things On My 2014 Bucketlist

2/7/2014 7:43:50 AM

I know, New Year is way too over now. It’s already the 37^th day of the year as of this writing. But who cares? Everything changes anyway. We all have our plans whether it is the start, the ending or even just at the middle-part of our times.

But as 2014 goes by, I have a lot of things in my mind. Maybe, something that  I personally want to ponder on. And since I will be turning 24 for this year (and also, it’s my year if were talking about Chinese horoscope here), I have thought of doing this, at least for now.

Some things that I will might change or plan on. Though I have to admit, not everything that I will write here will happen exactly the way I wanted it. Not all 24 items that I am posting here will be guaranteed.

But anyway, here it goes. 24 things I am going to do in 2014.

Sorry?!

2/5/2014 4:35:43 PM

“Sorry,” is all that you can say…

Alam ko, tunog Tracy Chapman o Boyzone yan. Malamang, eh linya ng kanta nila yan eh.

Pero yan din ang isa sa mga pinakamahirap bigkasin na salita. As in mas malala pa ‘to sa mga nauutal o nabubulol sa mga kataga sa bokabularyo.

Oo nga naman. Pero teka, ano nga bang meron sa salitang “sorry?”

Sorry, o “patawad” (“LOOOOORRD, PATAWAAAADD!”), o “paumanhin” o kung anu-anong translation pa yan sa iba’t ibang lengwahe at dayalekto. Ang daling isulat pero mahirap bigkasin, lalo na kung ikaw ay may nagawang mabigat na pagkakasala sa kapwa. Ke nagnakaw ka man ng cellphone ng kapitbahay mo, o nanloko ka ng babae, o nangursunada ka lang ng isang taong akala mo’y umaasta nang siga sa harapan mo.

Pero bakit nga ba mahirap sabihin ang salitang “sorry?” Ano bang meron sa salitang ito na parang ang hirap-hirap naman niyang sabihin?
