‎03/‎08/‎2014 08:06:46 AM

When old school library just expanded their franchise, just like Magic 89.9 did. Yes, the thing we know as "Saturday Slam" is now slamming to even greater heights, if we're taking about the timeline of hits here.

Flick Review: Bob Ong's ABNKKBSNPLAko?! the Movie

I can only express my insights on the movie adaptation of that Bob Ong book in two words: as both 'entertaining' and 'disappointment.'

I-Ban Ang Mga Teleserye!

3/13/2014 9:14:02 PM

May usap-usapan. Actually, hindi, naging balita na pala siya: isang mambabatas raw ay nagpapanukala na i-ban ang mga Koreanovela sa sirkulasyon ng Philippine television.

Teka, ano kamo? I-ban ang mga teleserye na mula sa Korea? Nung una tong pumutok noong nakaraang buwan ay napa-PM sa Facebook ang isang college friend ko sa kanyang pagkainis. Hindi naman siguro sa kangang pagiging K-Pop, ano, pero ano naman ang punto para i-ban ang mga teleserye na galing sa South Korea?

Unfavorable time slot daw sabi ni Buhay representative Lito Atienza. Sa paglipana raw kasi ng mga ‘to, nawawala na raw ang mga lokal na teleserye sa Pilipinas.

Ha? Weh? Di nga?

Feisty Returns

I wrote a piece similar to this a few months ago, only to have my cellphone get stolen. It's just good thing that I managed to recall the words there.

It's been three months since these two guys announced their return. And now, the universe is pounding on them as 'heels.'

It was during late December when both Brock Lesnar and Batista announced their comeback to the World Wrestling Entertainment, with the former preferring to do so in a much lesser hype, and much even distorted direction (he was also rumored to return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship). He first slated hat during the very last WWE Monday program of 2013.

Here’s what I spotted last month.

It was the near-end of January when I personally strolled around the Ermita area to witness the opening of the Ellen’s aesthetics branch there. See more photos below.

Scoring Bombs

Here's what we can describe to the week that was in the basketball world: bunch of scoring barrages (at least for the nth time).

Throwback: Tribute To Francis Magalona

3/6/2014 2:04:04 PM

It’s been six years when his untimely death shocked us. Mainstream fans, hip-hoppers, real artists, whoever you are. At least for once you appreciated his KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD under those THREE STARS AND A SUN; when he, a MAN FROM MANILA, wanted a GIRL like you to BE MINE (or should I say, “Be with him”). He really has a WHOLE LOTTA LOVIN' to warm those COLD SUMMER NIGHTS.

Yeah, talk about some kind of ‘reference bars,’ eh?

Sisihin Ang Kalsada?

03/‎05/‎2014 ‎12:44:54 PM 

Sisihan ba ang kalsada sa katarantaduhan ng tao?

Alam mo, hindi na bago ang ganito eh. Para naman tayong nagagaguhan nito. Similar lang 'to sa mga gunggong na palamunin na palaging sinisisi ang gobyerno dahil sa di umano'y pagpapapabaya sa kanila sa kabila ng pagiging tamad at palaasa nila.

Masyado na yata tayong nilalamon ng ating pagiging parasite. Oo, ang utak natin ay parang ganun na. Isa nang parasitisimo.

Tama bang sisihin ang highway dahil sa naaksidente ka dala ng pagda-drive mo?

Teka, tama ba? Sisihin mo ang skyway dahil nahulog ka? Sabagay, may mala-bangin na paligid kasi eh. Ika nga, elevated highway.

Pero... ano ulit? TAMA BANG SISIHIN ANG KALSADA?

The Review: Lego Movie

2/22/2014 3:25:10 PM

Hmm, since I was a kid, LEGO used to be one of my ultimate favourite toys (aside from Matchbox and its Asian version, TOMICA, of course) But Lego was more popular than anyone else, unless you’re a girl and of course, Barbie used to be the hit for you female kids out there.

But, a building block toy, turned out to be a movie? Say, it’s like I’ve been waiting this for more than a decade and a half from my imagination. Or did anyone like saw this coming before?
