Here’s something I spotted over last month. Well, that was the evening of March 12 to be exact.


Monolith has launched their fun run for a cause. It will happen at April 27, Sunday, at the Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City.

Fitting Tribute

For the last two weeks, we saw this: two members of the '96 NBA draft class went on to get honored on their respective teams.

THE PRE-TAKE: WRESTLEMANIA XXX (PART 2)

4/2/2014 11:05:28 AM

Now, let’s move to the four main event cards of Wrestlemania XXX: first, it’s John Cena versus Bray Wyatt in a singles match. Yet, a singles match which seems to defy prophecies, generations, and… yes, the word ‘legacy’ itself.

Why Should You Attend iBlog10?

4/2/2014 9:56:29 PM

Last year, I attended their ninth seminar in over the same span of years. Actually, it’s the second day of the event.


I can still remember that one female student who tipped me for the conference (at that time, she was approaching me to be one of her group’s respondents in their thesis).

And after all of the timing, I managed to take home a gift pack (which was then I gave to my ex-girlfriend as a gift on our half-anniversary) and a T-shirt which I also won at their raffle.


But aside from the prizes, there are more things out there which are more worth to cherish – and that is what I called “learning.”

The Pre-Take: WrestleMania XXX (PART 1)

What you’re gonna do if Wrestlemania runs wild on you, brother?

Well, it’s barely half-week to go before Wrestlemania 30 rolls along at the Superdome in the Big Easy. Now, let’s just hope that the professional wrestling’s grandest annual event will not be another bust nor bullshit on our part as fans and spectators.

Well, I can really say I am still a spectator, since I only managed to get a hold of witnessing this thing since 2012 (though when I was a kid, I do watch several wrestling programs such as the precursor WWF).

First, the 59-year older Hulk Hogan returns to the sports entertainment world as the host for the evening.
But, moreover, let’s see what we can say about the upcoming cards in the Wrestlemania XXX.

Lookback: Usapang Lalake – "Globe"

4/1/2014 10:23:57 AM

At the moment, I had a lot of things in my mind; some things I wish I can really put into writing (yes, in both personal blog and on my other sideline).

Unfortunately though, the other side of my logical thinking, as well as emotions and my entire soul is not cooperating with me. And I can only cite reasons which are too personal to share with.

I tried dealing with this by hitting several tracks that served as my mood-setter. Again, it’s unfortunate things weren't successful.

However, I would like to share this clip with all of you.


This may be no perfect prank for an April Fool’s Day. In fact, the joke seemed to be on Kuya Jobert’s ‘jerky boyfriend’ role here.

Graduation Na! Eh Ano Ngayon?!

3/28/2014 11:47:19 AM

Sa parte ng isang magulang, wala nang sasaya pa kesa sa makita niya ang anak niyang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Oo, hindi ito makakaila – yan talaga ang isa sa mga pinakapangarap nila para sa ating lahat.
At ayan na, mamartsa ka na sa red carpet papunta sa entablado kaharap ang mga nakatataas sa pamantasan na minsan mo nang pinasukan, pinag-aralanan nang napakahabang panahon, tinakasan para magbulakbol, at palagiang binabayaran ng tuition.

Ayos, after four years sa kolehiyo, o 17 years overall (exception na nga lang sa panahon ngayon na may K+12 program, so kayo na bahala mag-adjust dun), ay graduate ka na.

Pero ang tanong... eh ano ngayon?

Bad Filipino Taste

3/28/2014 10:41:04 AM

Yan na naman tayo eh. Lumabas na naman ang pagiging balat-sibuyas nating mga Pinoy eh. Parang two years ago, nagngingit tayo sa galit sa isang foreigner na nagsabi ng mga bagay na ayaw niya sa Pilipinas.

Tapos, taong dos-mil-katorse na, may blogger lang na inayawan ang pagkain natin eh nagngitngit naman tayo sa galit.

Oo, nagalit tayo sa aleng ito.

Life Minus The Suit And Tie

2/22/2014 12:37:25 PM

Wait a minute, let me clarify this: it’s not about the Jay-Z and JT’s collaboration, huh?
I have to admit. I am not a fan of this one thing I’ll be calling as the ‘corporate world.’

Well, if you asked me why, don’t worry. I’ll tell you more about it.

#MRTBulok? Anong Bago?

‎03/‎25/‎2014 08:36:35 AM

Sira na naman ang MRT! Weh, ano pa bang bago sa balitang ito? Parang yung kasabihan na "same old shit" lang na nangyayari 'to sa araw-araw ah.

Sabagay, kung mapapansin kasi, sa nakalipas na ilang mga linggo at buwan ay lagi na rin nagiging laman ng balita ito. As in.

Ang masama lang, ay nasa bad limelight na naman sila. Ang saklap lang. Kung hindi may pasaherong nagpapakasagasa (ay naku naman, isa pa tong sira eh), may mga sigalot sa teknikalidad nito.

The Art of Dissing The MRT

3/21/2014 1:25:54 AM

Ayan na. May nagngitngit na sa galit.

Sino? Siya lang naman, na may pinost na selfie at may mala-plakard o fansign na remark. At ang mga salita ay napakasimple: “Gago kayo, MRT!”

Lookback: WrestleMania 29's Triple Main Event

3/15/2014 3:31:50 PM

It’s only few weeks before the wrestling’s biggest stage will take centerstage at the huge venue the Big Easy peeps known as the Superdome.

And much as I am expressing my dismay on my local TV channel for not airing the WWE’s flagship program RAW, the only thing I can do at the moment is to do a flashback review: and I am talking about the three huge main cards of the WWE WrestleMania 29 held at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey last year.

http://www.thewrestlingmania.com/
I remember, I used to be on the multi-tasking mode then when my ultimate-fave-but-now-defunct Studio 23 aired its Philippine telecast during that one fateful Wednesday night of April. I was working in front of my computer, and at the same time – was watching the 240-minute event (you do the math, please?) on my Cherry Mobile phone (yes, I’m proud to say that. U mad?). At that time, I was a team leader in my graveyard shift (10 p.m. – 6 a.m.) which did not really had much problem with me.

And what more can I say? Aside from those 80,676 patrons from East Rutherford whom witnessed this event, which is considered as the second largest all-time Wrestlemania event in terms of attendance?

But only three things really stuck my mind. What are those?

E-Libel Strikes Again!

2/22/2014 1:50:10 PM

(re-updated: 03/19/2014 5:03 PM - Ilang linggo na ang nakalipas ay nagbigay na ng hatol ang Supreme Court sa isyu ng Republic Act 10175 o ang Cybercrime Protection Act of 2012. Ilan sa mga probisyon ay dineklarang un-consitutional, samantalang ang ilan rin sa mga ito ay idineklarang 'constitutional,' kabilang na riyan ang kontrobersiyal na probisyon na nagsasaklaw sa online libel)

O ayan na. Nagdesisyon na.

At legal nga daw ang e-libel.

Kaso, ano na mangyayari? Marami bang masasawatang mga gago sa modernong lipunan?

LATE Two Minutes!

3/16/2014 2:32:27 PM

"Judging a man's character should be based on weighing his good and bad sides, AND CERTAINLY NOT on neatness and perfection."

 
Bago ang lahat... mali ba ang pamagat ko? Dapat ba ay 'Late BY or LATE FOR Two Minutes?' Actually, mas mali ka. Magbasa ka muna kasi bago ka mag-react kung bakit LATE ang nakalagay sa halip na 'LAST TWO MINUTES' (At P.S.: hindi ako coliseum barker sa PBA para sumigaw niyan).

May isang hindi magandang balita: hindi siya nakagraduate.

Siya ba? OO, siya nga.

Aba, wag kang magtatatawa d’yan. Akala mo ba nagpapakasarcastic o nangto-troll ako?

‘De seryosong usapan muna tayo.Ano nga ba kasi ang kasalanan ng nag-iisang Aldrin Jeff Cudia, ang first class cadet ng PMA at kabilang sana sa mga nagmartsa kaninang umaga sa Baguio bilang takda ng kanilang pagtatapos sa Philippine Military Academy?

Na-late lang daw kasi sa isang klase niya ng dalawang minuto.

Aba, leche? Two minutes lang siyang na-late? Na-dismiss kagad siya sa serbisyo?

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.
