Tirada Ni Slick Master: Perilous Footbridge

10/8/2013 9:56:36 PM

Nakakatawa lang na may ganitong proyekto pala sa ating bayan, ano?

Hindi naman sa pagiging mataas at maangas, ha? Pero pansinin ang larawang ito na mula sa artikulo ng pahayagang Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Yung bagong footbridge sa bandang Commonwealth Avenue (o sa alternatibong pagkakakilanlan nito na Don Mariano Marcos Avenue). Ang isang bahagi ng naturang tawiran ay may nakahambalang na mga kable ng kuryente.

Ano, nakaiinit ba ng ulo? Tumaas ba presyon mo?

Punk's Got Punked

9/21/2013 3:29:14 PM

I know. I’ve hated CM Punk for disrespecting the Undertaker’s man weeks before their over-hyped Wrestlemania match at New York.

But heck, he’s on the underdog side this time around. I mean the real “underdog” state of mind. He dueled up against the intercontinental champion Curtis Axel and his former friend Paul Heyman.

Tirada Ni Slick Master: Worldwide Racial Slur

O, may ayaw pala kay Megan Young. May ayaw sa pagkapanalo ng Pinoy. May ayaw sa nanalong Miss World 2013 na mula raw sa bansa ng mga alipin.

O eh ano naman ngayon? Bakit naman kayo pumatol sa bruhang yan? Totoo ba na mga yaya lang tayo dito?

Isang malaking joke ang lahat? Kung ganun, isa lang ang sagot ko: kung joke man sa mata mo ang manalo si Megan Young, e ang corny mo naman, gago!

Pero teka lang, ano ba ang kinaiinisan ng mga Pinoy dito? Yung “biro” ng pagkapanalo? O ang “racist remark” na “I did not know those maids have anything in them.” “Poor” and “smelly” pa nga e.

Tirada Ni Slick Master: "Puppy Crush"

10/3/2013 9:57:14 PM

Supposedly sa ibang isyu ako titira. Kaso, teka lang, pasadahan ko muna ang kumakalat na videong ito sa internet. Sa Facebook to be exact, dahil sa malamang hindi papasa ito sa mga censorship ng YouTube e (unless makalusot).

Tatlong dalaga at isang tuta ang tampok sa 19 na minutong video na ito. Halos karamihan na yata ng mga Facebook pages ay ikinalat ito – pero hindi ito pinagpyestahan dahil sa pangkatuwaan lang. Shinare na ito at inupload ng sandamuykal na beses bilang pagkondena sa isang malagim na trip ng mga naturang babae.

Hmmm, disturbing ba? Nakababahala bang pansinin? Unless kung iba maitim ang budhi mo, at mas pinoproklama pa

Tigers With An Upset

9/30/2013 12:34:07 PM

And yet again.

Just when you thought that one university from the streets of Jocson in Sampaloc, Mania will end their championship drought, their España-based brothers (in UAAP) had a different plan – that is to steal their hopes and literally crush their spirits.

Okay, forget the cheer dance sport that they ruled for a very long period of time (and the bitter fact of going over several slumps on their stunts). University of Santo Tomas is back on the “big dance” stage of basketball, and they will face La Salle for that matter.

Flick Review: ON THE JOB

9/29/2013 11:28:50 AM

"A likably rough-edged hitmen-vs-cops thriller." 

- Hollywood Reporter.

"Gritty, convoluted but steadily engrossing crime thriller from Filipino genre maven Erik Matti." 

--Variety

“On The Job, is no doubt, the best action movie at the present era of our (Philippine) cinema.” 

These are the usual words that I used to see from a lot of movie reviews, be it a legitimate critic or just an amateur from the bloggers’ circle. And come to think that noir poetry (or better known as “poverty porn”) is on the roll again, be it a Jessica Hagedorn book or a “Gates Of Hell” remark from Dan Brown.

Positive feedback aside, I used to wonder if Star Cinema marketed the movie enough since they tied-up with Erik Matti and Dondon Monteverede’s Reality Entertainment, the real group behind OTJ’s conceptualization-to-execution plan (and aside from the former’s celebration of their 20th anniversary). That is something I cannot tell since I don’t really watch the shows from channel 2; and since the time I realized the epidemic dumbness of the present mainstream.

But either way, that made my drive for curiosity to watch that film. Good thing that despite the time I only had in my hands (since only local “rom-com” movies and foreign action counterparts do last for more than a month in cinemas) – I still managed to watch “On The Job” at one of those movie houses in Eastwood City (at that moment, OTJ was only shown in 3 theatres – SM Fairview, Robinsons Galleria and Eastwood Cinemas).

Okay, after 121 minutes of thrilling action, I can only come up with a lot of words to tell about this movie.

69 Things In Life, According To Me

9/26/2013 10:29:18 PM

Supposedly, I should have named this article as "69 Things I Learned So Far in Life." However, due to certain circumstances which I may end up doing either a duplicate or infringement… I decided to change and made some revisions on my content (aside from the fact that I've been struggling on my grammatical errors).

OKAY, I am not a philanthropist. Not even a scientist from a specific field where the study of life, culture and behavior fell under. All I know is I have been travelling in this journey of life for the past 23 years, and still walking and running and walking and running in this same path.

And honestly, the words that you saw in the title of this post are very common. Perhaps, it is also a very basic way for somebody to start writing. Even one of my idols used to wrote his share of insights using that title (with a different number of items, of course). Even the articles and the authors of the famed Readers’ Digest used to publish their own share of 7 Things I’ve learned So Far. And even the guy known as Stefan Sagmeister

Perhaps some will wonder, why 69? I don’t know the answer for that either. I could have putted up 89, 90, 123, or any other number. But aside from 69 as a controversial number to the eyes of conservatives and sexually active peeps, I really have no idea why I ended up listing 69 things.

But anyway, here it goes.

Tirada Ni Slick Master (Birthday Edition)

9/27/2013 8:26:13 PM

Sa isang eskinita dyan lang naman sa tabi-tabi. Kanina.

Friends ko: Oy, birthday mo na ah!

Ako: OO. E ANO NAMAN NGAYON? 

F: Magblow-out ka naman! (BLOWOUT, BLOWOPUT, BLOWOUT) 

A: (sabay hinipan ng upos ng sigarilyo nila papunta sa mukha nila) O, ayan. Ano, blow-out pa? (sabay tiger look sa mga mokong at walang pakialam kung maasumbatan ng “suplado.” Kulang na lang ay aambaan ko ng suntok ang mga gago eh.)

Trip Lang?

9/21/2013 3:06:21 PM

Habang nirere-update ang post na ito ay 5 sa 6 na suspek ang hawak na ng awtoridad. Ang mga pangalan ng mga aksuado, maliban kay Sameul Decimo ay Jorek Evangelista (na sumuko sa pamamagitan ng kanyang ama sa Cabanatuan City),  Jomar Pepito (na sinamahan ng kanyang lola at magulang bago ito isuko kay Cavite Governor Juanito Remulla), Lloyd Benedict Enriquez, at Reggie Diel. At large naman ang nagngangalang Baser Minalang.

Isa sa mga kagimbal-gimbal na balitang umalingawngaw noong mga nakaraang linggo ay ang pagpaslang sa isang advertisement executive na si Kristelle Kae Davantes. Alas-6 ng umaga noong Setyembre 7 ay natagpuan ang kanyang bangkay sa ilalim ng isang tulay sa lalawigan ng Cavite. Nakagapos ang kanyang katawan gamit ang seatbelt ng kanyang sasakyan, pinasakan ng panyo ang kanyang bunganga, at tinatad ng saksak ang kanyang leeg.

Playback: Treasure – Bruno Mars

9/14/2013 9:24:21 PM

Certainly there’s this one hit that rocked my musical ears (and mind) so far.

I’m talking about Bruno Mars’ latest single titled “Treasure.” Mars wrote the track alongside Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine and Phredley Brown (with three of the latter known as The Smeesingtons). It was the third single off Mars’ 2012 studio album Unorthodox Jukebox.

Just My Opinion: Subway In Manila?

9/19/2013 10:18:48 PM

Isa sa susi sa pag-unlad ng ating bansa ay ang pagkakaroon ng isang solidong mass transport system. Tulad na lamang ng mga tren, bagay na makikita na lamang sa gitna’t ibabang bahagi ng hilagang Pilipinas.

Magandang pag-usapan ang proposal na ito. Makatutulong nga ba ang pagkakaroon ng subway sa Kamaynilaan? (Ops, hindi yung brand ng pagkain ha?)

Sabong

9/14/2013 9:03:52 PM

Maraming nakikibaka sa isang labanan na walang garantiyang tiyansa na manalo. Tila isang sabong ang isang labanang nagaganap. Isang sugal na tila bihira lang sa bilang ang mga uuwing kumpleto at nasa katinuan.

Santo Papa: "Tama Na Yan!"

9/21/2013 2:24:20 PM

Sinasabi ng Santo papa na si Pope Francis na dapat ay tigil-tigilan na ng Simbahang Katolika ang pagiging “obsessed” diumano nito sa mga bagay-bagay na taliwas sa paniniwala na tulad na lamang ng mga nasa third sex, ang abortion at contraceptives. Ipinahayag rin kasi niya na ang Simbahan ay nakatali pa rin sa maliit at maikitid nitong mundo at hindi na dapat i-condemn pa. 

Malanding Fanboy Problems

7/30/2013 4:11:52 PM

Natural na sa atin ang may hinahangaan. Ke ito man ay kilalang perosnalidad man o hindi sa alinmang bagay tulad ng sining, entertainment, musika, pamamahayag, pulitika, palakasan o sports, at sa kung saan-saan pa.

Pero tama rin ang nabasa ko minsan sa isang Facebook post noon: You have to smash idols before they smash you. Ibig sabihin, oks lang na may idolohin ka. Pero hindi maari na sa lahat ng oras ay tila sasambahin mo na siya. Masamang bagay ang tinatawag na idolatry. Parang resulta ito ng sobra-sobrang obsession sa isang bagay na hinahangaan mo.

Sa pagmamasid ng inyong lingkod, marami akong nakikita na sobrang “fan.” Yung tipo na parang ganito ang mga habit nila.

Throwback: Original Prankster

9/18/2013 9:06:37 PM

Here’s something we got for a throwback.

Hey, it’s only this year when I listened to this track for the first time, huh? I’ve been a fan of that 90s punk rock band called The Offspring, especially during those “top-of-the-wee-hours” when Pretty Fly was the first song playing on my radio.
