Wanted: Job Description Blues

7/24/2013 4:10:17 PM

Sa halos lahat ng bagay sa lipuan mo makikita ang tinatawag na “diskriminasyon.” Isa sa mga ito ay pag naghahanap ka ng trabaho.

Ano ang ibig kong sabihin? Pansinin ang mga ito.

Playback: 7Lions - Born 2 Run

1/19/2014 2:00:00 PM

Since late 2013, I suffered another sign of an eargasmic person after listening to this track. Well, this time around, I just want to feature this on my blog for now since I have been a fan of rap-and-rock mixture. Talk about the single "Born 2 Run" from the band called 7Lions.

At first, I only heard this thing on World Wrestling Entertainment’s top weekend offering Friday Night Smackdown as part of their opening billboard. Until I do my research on the popular video streaming site YouTube.

Mabuti Pa Ang Lugawan, May CCTV!

Tama. “MABUTI PA ANG LUGAWAN, MAY CCTV. ANG NAIA… WALA!”

Tama naman si Manong Ted Failon noong sinabi niya ang mga salitang ito: “MABUTI PA ANG LUGAWAN, MAY CCTV. ANG NAIA… WALA!”

Video: Studio 23's Final Sign-Off

1/17/2014 11:57:33 AM

As several of us witnessed the sudden departure of an old favorite, all I can have is a video recording. Well, just to clear things up – I do not own this. It’s just a recording. I saw this along with my camera phone at exactly 2 in the morning of Friday, January 17, 2014. Those were the very last moments of the 17-year old UHF channel Studio 23. Last five minutes, in fact, though programming wise-speaking it will still fall on their schedule dated January 16.

Alaala ng Studio 23

1/16/2014 1:21:15 PM

Sa totoo lang, mula noong kalagitnaan ng nakaraang dekada lang ako mas nakatutok sa Studio 23. Siguro dala ng pagkahumaling ko nun sa panunood ng mga collegiate league sa Kamaynilaan tulad ng UAAP at NCAA.

Samahan mo pa ng mga palabas na banyaga na dati rati ay laman ng Channel 2. At pati ang mga locally-produced na programa na ganun din. Pati nga yata yung Family Rosary Crusade ay kasama din dun eh.

Blame Yolanda?

1/15/2014 11:18:58 AM

Teka, pasensya na ha? Di ko magwa-gawa ang mga unang proyekto ko na dapat ay medyo matagal-tagal ko nanag nailabas. Anyway, ditto muna ako sa isyung ito.

Aniya sinisisi ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino ang Bagyong Yolanda dahil raw sa maraming tao ang nagging mahirap ngayon.

Ha? Ano raw? Seryoso ba yan?!

Teka, sisihin ba ang bagyo dahil sa mga naganap na kalamidad?

Goodbye WOTL?

Is TV interstitial “Word Of The Lourd” saying goodbye?

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.

Cafe Scientique Talks: Why Should We Bother With Science? (And Climate Change As Well)

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.

The Scene Around: 2013 Nike We Run Manila

‎12/‎15/‎2013 12:55:24 AM

The stage was set at that Sunday afternoon of December 1 at the Marikina Sports Center. And fifteen thousand runners took part on that third Manila edition of the Nike We Run series 2013.

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.
