Don’t Mess With Media

5/21/2014 4:09:51 PM

Isa yan sa mga pinakamagigiting na makakalaban mo sa buhay. Isa yan sa pinakamatitindi. Sila ang nagseset ng trend sa ating lipunan. Sila ang nagkunundisyon ng utak ng bawat taong nanunood, nakikinig at nagbabasa (unless kung totally abstain ka sa kanila at piniling maging hipster).

Oo, ang tinagurian nilang fourth estate – ang media.

Racist Kuno

Isa sa mga racist na bansa ang mga Pilipinas.

Weh? Talaga lang ha?

Sa Sobrang Init Ngayon…

5/22/2014 7:32:15 AM

Ang init nga naman, ano? Abot singit, ika nga ng isang pauso linya noon.

Pero, grabe lang. As in napapamura ka na lang ng malutong sa pagkainis mo. As in “Putangina naman! ANG INIT!!!!” Siyempre, nagiging intense ka rin.

Hindi makakaila na iba na talaga ang panahon noong sa panahon ngayon. Parang nung ilang summer lang ang nakalipas ay hindi naman ganito kasukdulan ang nararamdaman mong init di ‘ba?

Ang init! Sobra!

Libel: To Decriminalize Or Not To Decriminalize?

5/15/2014 7:42:43 AM

Sa panahon ngayon na malaya tayo magsalita, isang bagay ang kikitil sa ating karapatan: ang libel. Pero paano nga ba sumagi sa isipan ng mga tao sa social media at blogging ang usaping ito? Mula lang naman noong ipinasa ang Republic Act 10175, o mas kilala bilang Cybercrime Prevention act of 2012.

Oh eh ano naman kung may libel?

Sala Sa Init, Sala Sa Lamig

5/15/2014 7:11:36 AM

Isa sa mga kalbaryo na kadalasan nating pinapasan ay ang klima. O kung hindi mo ma-gets, temperatura.

Aminin man natin o hindi, lagi tayong nagrereklamo pagdating sa mga panahon. Hindi tayo nasa-satisfy. Pag dumatin ang malalamig na buwan, katulad na lamang ng Disyembre, Enero at ultimong Pebrero, nagrereklamo tayo sa paglamig.

Nag-Away Na Naman Sila! Eh Ano Ngayon?

5/15/2014 8:08:37 AM

Hay naku. Nag-away na naman for the nth time ang Barretto sisters. And as usual, pinink-up naman ito ng national television.

Kaso… ang tanong: e ano ngayon?

Playback: Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake – Love Never Felt So Good

5/18/2014 11:52:55 AM

Okay, I am not writing a lengthy post here, since I’m running out of time and reserving the other write-ups in due time.

I have been listening to FM radio lately, as my relaxing resort due to my pre-employment stage; when suddenly, this track apparently popped out of my radio set.

Yes, how about the late King of Pop and one of the pop music’s new elite icon on collaboration, aye?

Thrilling Finish

There are five first round match-ups that culminated into game 7 on the NBA playoffs recently.

Well, what’s new? Definitely, a lot!

Climbing The Datum Origin

5/15/2014 8:24:26 AM

As yours truly, along with several friends, reached the island of Marinduque for the first time (in my lifetime), we are supposedly boarding a trip to the town known as Torrijos later that day.

Until a sudden change of plan went on, and early in that Friday morning, we hiked up on that mountain known as Datum Origin.

Lookback: FlipTop's Ahon

5/15/2014 6:54:18 AM

Since it’s already four years since this one was held at Guerilla Radio in Pasig City, let’s take a trip back to memory lane.

Let me guess: FlipTop’s Ahon was the biggest event (if not one of the biggest events) the Makati-based rap battle league has ever organized. They started in mid-February 2010 with the gracing event known as Grain Assault.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: The Racist Owner

5/13/2014 3:07:28 AM

So nalagay na naman sa alanganin ang National Basketball Association (NBA) matapos ang kontrobersyal na remark mula kay Donald Sterling, ha? Siya lang naman, na nagmamay-ari ng Los Angeles Clippers, ang nagbitaw ng isang “racist” na statement ukol sa mga “black people,” o sa madaling sabi, maiitim.

Paano nga ba siya na-ban sa NBA at pinagmulta ng tumataginting na 2.5 million dollars?

Ang Mahiwagang Listahan

5/13/2014 7:04:09 AM

(Speaking of which, as of time na pinublish ko ito ay lumabas ang kontrobersyal na listahan.)

Ang mahiwagang listahan. Bow.

(Photo credits: Christian Esguerra/Twitter)

Pero hindi ito tula, ni hindi isang episode ng paborito kong palabas na anime na si Doraemon, kundi isa itong tirada (malamang! Dahil ano pa bang aasahan n’yo sa akin, ‘di ba?). Mula sa mga spekulasyon ng posibleng pagiging state witness daw, ngayon ay may listahan na siya. Aba, daig pa nya ang mga tindero at tindera, ano?

National Problem: Internet Connection (v. 2.0)

09/05/2014 12:45:23 AM

Ang Pilipinas ay ang bansa na may pinakamabagal na internet connection sa buong rehiyon ng Timog Silangang Asya.

Pero, ano naman bago sa mga ito? Masyadong bang evident para pag-usapan ito?

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.
