Playback: Kongos - Come With Me Now

09/05/2014 1:05:29 AM

Since everyone seems to indulged on boy bands once again like One Direction, the Vamps, and any other else… (say, does 1975 counts?) well, I’d prefer to listen to this all-boy alternative band (at least, not a very typical bullshit known as “mainstream pop”) named Kongos.

And to be frank? Yeah, WWE Extreme Rules brought me here.

The Scene Around: SYNC Music + Tech 2014

5/5/2014 8:09:30 AM

On April 27, musicians and music enthusiasts alike were treated by SPINNR indie to their event called SYNC: Music + Tech held during that hot Saturday afternoon at the Black Market in Makati City.

Yes, it was scorching hot that walking along the streets of Pasong Tamo for a second might cause you terrible sickness within the next few hours or so.

But that did not stop me anyway.

So I managed to register for the event itself, and braced myself for few hours of music and technology convergence.

Just My Opinion: Wrestemania XXX: Legacy Vs False Prophecy Round 1

5/5/2014 7:58:19 AM

So John Cena prevails, but another part of this plot will roll ‘til the Extreme Rules, eh? Some wrestling enthusiasts said their match with Bray Wyatt should have been the second best of the night.

And the flaws: They still lacked the much hype in compliance to their story line.

And maybe, I would agree with that.

State Witness? Seryoso??!

5/5/2014 8:52:34 AM

Maraming haka-haka na magiging state witness raw si Janet Lim-Napoles.

Ha? Seryoso?

Yan ay kung papayagan ni DOJ secretary Leila DeLima.

Isipin mo kasi, nag-confess ang fugitive businesswoman sa Justice secretary nung binisita siya nito noong nakaraang buwan. Aniya, dito niya dinetalye ang mga nalalalaman raw niya ukol sa PDAF scam. Pinangalanan din daw niya ang tatlong senador na sila…(teka, kailangan pa ba nating banggitin dito, eh usong-uso naman sa kamalayan natin ang tinatawag na ‘trail by publicity.’).

Pero, Napoles? Para magiging state witness? Tangina, nagpapatawa ka ba?

Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX: Breaking The Streak

5/5/2014 7:49:14 AM

(Yes, apparently, this is a very super duper late post) 

Who could have though the streak would come to an end…his way? Well, if you wonder and asked “what the hell am I taking about?” better check out this video.

Yes, of all the men who tried to stop Mark William Calaway, it was only Brock Lesnar who went successful in defeating him. After 22 years.

The Pre-Take: Extreme Rules

5/3/2014 10:29:10 PM

As much as everything goes stale for me in the pro wrestling world (specifically I haven’t even wrote my separate takes for the battles for this past Wrestlemania), here are my predictions for WWE Extreme Rules 2014:

Blockbuster Daw

5/3/2014 12:56:45 PM

Masyado na namang tumaas ang dugo ng marami nung may nasabi ang aleng ito sa kanyang panayam sa bidang aktor ng the Amazing Spiderman 2.

Ayon sa  panayam ni Kris Aquino kay Andrew Garfield, tinalo ng pelikulang My Little Bossings, na pinagbibidahan rin ng kanayang anak na si Bimby, ang pelkulang The Amazing Spiderman.

Wehh, teka nga!  Tama ba 'tong nabasa ko? Tinalo ng MLB ang Spiderman?

Yan ay kung sa highest first-day gross box office ang usapan. Ibig sabihin, kung pataasan lang naman ng kita ang usapan.

Ganun? Oo, ganun na ganun nga.

Lookback: Batch 2011

5/1/2014 7:44:45 PM

It’s been three years since this episode aired on Philippine television; and of course, yours truly, was one of those million (should I say) college graduates from batch 2011.

And since it’s Labor Day, and by coincidence... a Thursday (or should I say... #ThrowbackThursday), let’s take a trip back to 2011 and review this episode once again.

Playback: Kid Rock - "Celebrate"

4/29/2014 5:59:26 PM

Honestly speaking, as much as I want to post something new today (which includes a series of current issues tirade, a set of WrestleMania posts, and an NBA Playoff second round predictions since I failed to make one in the first round), I’ll end up doing this: how about a post about this WrestleMania theme?

Honestly speaking, my ears have been hooked up to this one for already a long time. It’s Celebrate by the American rock musician called Kid Rock.

PBB Na! Eh Ano Ngayon?

4/28/2014 9:43:28 PM

Sa wakas, makalipas ang ilang taon, may panibago nang edisyon ang palabas na Pinoy Big Brother. ALL In na daw sila.

Wala lang. Ano na? Este, ano naman?

Kagabi, samu’t saring mga tweet na naglalaman ng pagkadismaya ang pumuno sa news feed ko sa  Twitter. Tapos, kaliaw’t kanang post na naman – mula status hanggang sa mga timeline photos – ang namuno naman sa Facebook.

Kaso, ano naman ngayon?

Tunay Na Banal

4/27/2014 2:16:44 PM

Sana ang karamihan sa mga taong nagpapakita talaga ng TUNAY na kabanalan, ay tulad ni Pope John Paul II. Oh, correction, Saint John Paul II.

Sa totoo lang, hindi ako saradong Katoliko, at hindi rin naman ako nabuhay sa medieval ages (ni hindi nga ako nakapunta sa isang malaking event noong 1995 na tinaguriang World Youth Day).

Pero hindi naman sa pangungumpara, ano? Ang mga tulad ni Karol Wojytla – o mas kilala mula pa noong 1978 bilang si Pope John Paul II – ang isa sa mga taong kailangan ng Simabahan para mapalaganap ang dalawang bagay: una, ang pananamplataya; at pangalawa, ang asal ng katinuan.

Summer Na! Eh Ano Ngayon?

4/2/2014 10:43:12 PM

Sa wakas, ito na naman ang pinakahinihintay ng maraming tao – ang bakasyon na kung tawagain ay ‘summer break.’

Pero… eh ano naman ngayon? May bago pa ba sa tipikal na kalakaran natin bilang mga mamamyan ng mundo at pagiging Pilipino pagdating ng summer? Maaring meron din total nagbabago naman talaga ang panahon.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: The "Legal" Scenes

4/25/2014 5:35:40 PM

Kagabi ay nagtrend ang mga eksena mula sa palabas na ito.

WOW. Astig. May sampalan na naman! May iyakan! Batuhan ng matitinding kata at linya na naman! At higit sa lahat – nagkabukingan na. Nailantad ang dapat mailantad.

Ayos pa nga ang hashtag nila eh Parang yung pelikulang pinagbidahan lang nila Paul Walker, Vin Diesel at The Rock.

Eh kaso… ano na?

Alaala Ni Warrior

4/24/2014 9:23:06 AM

Sino mag-aakala na ang mamang ito ay mamamatay nang biglaan? As in hindi mo inaasahan bilang isang wrestling fan.

Oo, si James Brian Hellwig nga. Kung batang 80s o 90s ka at nanunood ng WWF (yan pa pangalan nila nun, bago sila nagkaroon ng naming dispute sa World Wildlife Fund) sa TV, ke sa channel 9 o 13 man yan, alam mo kung gaano kakilala ang mamang ito.

Yung taong laging nakaface-paint at may suot na maskarang akala mo ay aatend ng isang masquerade party? Yung tipong pag nasa squared circle ay ipapadyak ang paa ng bonggang-bongga habang tila inaalog ang taling nagsisilbing bakod nito. Yung sa sobrang wild ng personality dala ng kanayng hype at energy  pagdating sa arena, samahan mo pa ng musical entrance niya. At yung boses niya na kjala mo ay nakawala sa koral.

Yan nga – si Ultimate Warrior.

The iBlog10 Experience (Part 4)

4/17/2014 10:50:53 AM

After hearing a lot of speaking engagements at the 10^th Philippine Blogging Summit, I realized something: we have the capability to foresee them.

Yes, we all do, just like the trolls who used to create those ‘end-of-the-world’ prophecies.

Even yours truly came up with a list, which goes… like this:
