Expanded Throwback Weekend

‎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

03/‎14/‎2014 12:32:47 AM

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

‎03/‎08/‎2014 08:31:12 AM

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.

The Scene Around: Ellen's Opening Branch at Ermita, Manila

2/22/2014 11:50:20 AM

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).

Tapos Na Ang G2B, Eh Ano Ngayon?

03/‎07/‎2014 9:49:48 PM

Ayan na, tapos na sila!!!

Kaso... eh ano ngayon? (HOY PUCHA SLICKMASTER, MANOOD KA NAMAN NITO PAG MAY TIME!)

LECHE! Wag nyo kong pilitin manood nyan. Iniistorbo nyo lang trabaho ko eh.

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?

Match of The Year?!: #1 — The SHIELD vs. The Wyatt Family

2/28/2014 11:00:58 AM

Meanwhile, as I saw the entire list of clashes in the Sunday’s Elimination Chamber, I think this battle goes down as one of the World Wrestling Entertainment’s epic matches of the year 2014.

Seriously, it is.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Chismax Overload

2/24/2014 9:10:08 PM

Marami nang nagtatanong. Marami na rin ang nagiging instant na tsismoso. Ito na ang laman ng mga usapan at pati mga national news item. Tama, yan nga.

E sa loob ba naman ng isang buwan ay ‘yan ang maging laman ng mga sirkulasyon e, mula balitan hanggang sa social media.

Anak ng puta naman. Hindi na ba tayo nagsasawa sa mga iskandalo at tsismis? Di ba tayo nasusuraan sa pagiging makakapal ang apog ng mga ‘to?

Masyado nang over-hyped ang isyung ito. Sobra-sobra pa sa pagiging blown out of proportion.

At ito ang mas mahirap pa. Patayin mo man ang TV, ito naman ang magiging laman ng pahayagan. Alisinmn mo man ang papel, laganap naman sila sa internet.

At kahit hindi ka tumangkilik sa media sa loob ng isang araw, may isang pagkakataon pa rin na maririnig mo pa rin ito mula sa mga bungangera mong kapitbahay.

Unless kung nakapiit ka sa sariling kulungan at all-day forever alone lang ang peg mo.

Pero... tangina naman, nakakaurat na yan!

Prom Season? Eh Ano Ngayon?

2/22/2014 11:26:46 AM

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

2/21/2014 10:35:39 PM

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).
