Socio-Political Impact

11:54:04 PM | 5/9/2013 | Thursday

Matindi ba ang impact ng social media pagdating sa 2013 midterm elections? Oo naman.

Sa totoo lang, nagsimula ang ganito mula pa noong 2010 presidential elections, naging venue ng ilang kandidato ang mga social networking websites na tulad ng Facebook at Twitter.

Mainit-init na balita, at involved ang dalawang napapanahong personalidad. Isang komedyante ang ayaw sa isang tumatakbong senador dahil sa kanyang “track record.”

The Thin Line (#4) – Your Vote, Church, and State Politics (?!)

11:32:33 PM | 5/8/2013| Wednesday

Minsan habang napasimba ako, narinig ko sa sermon ng isang pari ang tahasang pagkontra niya sa RH law (na isa pa lang panukala na’t tawag nun ay RH Bill) noon. Narinig ko pa ito sa ibang mga misa sa iba’t ibang mga simbahan sa mga nagdaang linggo. Lumala pa yata noong naipasa ang itinuring nilang RH Bill. Naging tila mas subjektibo ang panghuhusga.

Teka, wala sanang masama, dahil tayo naman ay nasa pagiging demokratikong bansa. Kaso…

Akala ko ba may separation of the church and state? E bakit nakikialam pa rin sila sa mga pangayayari sa ating gobyerno, lalo na’t nalalapit na ang panahon ng midterm elections?

Akala ko rin e.

Flick\Review: Iron Man 3

5/7/2013 12:12:03 AM

For the past few weeks, I managed to check out few of the most notable movies so far. First, G.I. Joe Retaliation, second is Oblivion, and for my third checklist – the third installment of the Iron Man series.

Iron Man 3, the third motion picture for the American superhero from Marvel comics, starred Robert Downey Jr. as the main title character, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, and Ben Kingsley. Produced by Marvel Studio’s Kevin Feige, directed by Shane Black, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Y U No Want To Debate?

9:29:55 AM | 5/6/2013 | Monday

Isang maikling patustada lang ngayong halos pitong araw na lang ay mideterm elections na sa Pilipinas.

Hindi ko lang ‘to magets. Isang tumatakbong senador, pero ayaw makipag-debate sa harap ng publiko at media? Seryoso?

Playback: The Darkness – Everybody Have A Good Time

10:01:48 AM | 5/5/2013 | Sunday

Let’s take a trip back to the memory lane, let’s say about 11 months ago.

I’m not an avid fan of the Darkness. But I like few of their songs, especially when “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” penetrated the airwaves of the radio stations here in the country way back 2004.

I wonder though why they were silent after their One Way Ticket to Hell and Back almost 7 or 8 years ago. Or is it me who failed to dig the shores of YouTube to look for these asses?

Boring!

03:36:53 PM | 5/4/2013 | Saturday

Ang post na ito ay may halaw na inspirasyon mula sa WOTL Boring Elections 2013.

Tama ang isa sa mga pinakahuling episode ng programang Word Of The Lourd. “Ang boring na ng eleksyon!”  

Oo, bwakanangina, ang boring na! Buti pa ‘tong palabas na ‘to, hindi boring!

Bakit nga ba ganun, ano? Maraming dahilan, kaya hindi na rin ako magtataka kung bakit tamad na tamad na ‘tong pag-usapan ng mga tao, at kung bakit hindi na rin sila boboto pag tinamaan pa sila ng lintek na sumpong.

My Take: WOTL’ s Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions

8:14:47 PM | 5/3/2013 | Friday

Isa sa mga sinusubaybayan kong programa sa Television ang interstitial na Word of The Lourd. At ang episode ng ito ang isa sa mga pinakapaborito ko: Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions. Pero yung unang installment ha? (Corny na kasi yung pangalawa)

Sa aking pagmamamasid, isa rin ito sa mga pinutakte sa YouTube. Dumami ang mga nagpost ng hate comment sa host at sa palabas na ‘to mismo. Ano ‘to, hindi sila sang-ayon sa puntong nilabas ng naturang video o hindi lang nila kayang umamin sa mga katangahang nagagawa nila?

Kalbaryo Ng Isang Manggagawa

10:31:33 AM | 4/29/2013 | Monday

Kung akala ng mga tambay na madaling kumita ng pera at magahnap-buhay, tiyak na nagkakamali sila.

Walang madaling trabaho sa mundo, kaibigan. Bilang isa sa milyon-milyong nilalang na hinaharap ang pagsubok ng buong mundo, maraming kalbaryo na pinagdadaaanan ang isang empleyado o kahit empleyo din. Akala mo madali ang lahat?

When The OFW Stories Were The Real Big Deal

6:03:13 AM | 4/5/2013 | Friday

Sa aking pagmamasaid sa nakalipas na ilang buwan, ito ang karaniwang laman ng mga blog sites. Kung hindi love stories, mga sex stories. At kung hindi sex stories, mga kwento ng OFW. Pero sa lahat ng nabanggit, ito ang trip kong basahin.

And We Meet Again

5:31:55 AM | 4/28/2013 | Sunday

Here we go again – another ageless rivalry on the hard court. How many times have we seen these two teams clashing against each other for the past few years?

           

Title-favorite Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters and the crowd-favorite Barangay Ginebra San Miguel on the semifinals match yet again for the nth time.

Both have a stunning line-up – teams consisting of remarkable talents and names. Both teams that have this huge capability to put up big stuff on the stats sheets and entertainment’s highlight reels.

Playbacck: P!nk feat. Nate Reuss - Just Give Me A Reason

4/27/2013 6:44:11 AM 

Duets, or collaborations made by two artists (preferably, a male and a female singer), is one of the best things we can hear at the present musical scene. You got Cruisin’ (Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow), Just My Imagination (Babyface and Gwyneth Paltrow), Nobody Wants to Be Lonely (Ricky Martin and Christina Aguillera), My Boo (Usher and Alicia Keys), to name a few.

Goodbye, Multiply.

5:48:06 AM | 4/27/2013 | Saturday

Hindi ito usaping a la 187 Mobstaz na “We don’t die, we multiply.”

Literal, magbaba-bye na ang isang dating social networking (at sa nagyon ay isa na siyang marketplace) website na Multiply. Kung maalala n’yo, isa sa mga pinakapatok na website ang Multiply dahil sa samu’t saring mga feature nito.

Mother, Father, Gentleman!

Just a short feature, and allow me to hit by the flows of the mainstream for this short while.

Well, sometimes, I wonder... how on earth do this video reached more than 221 million views within the period of only 12 days. Yes, 12 freaking days; 2 days short of a 2-week-span of time.
