Shield's Break-up: Battle of Emerging Hounds

06/23/14 11:47:40 AM

So, this group had their worst moment recently — having a break-up with each other. Which makes me think of this question: out of these three men, who will emerged the most?

First and foremost, though: Forgive me for doing this post if it sounds like a malanding fanboy.

Well, I'll just reiterate this: I'm not a huge fan of this former three-man faction in the recent WWE events known as The SHIELD. In fact, when I started watching them in almost all the WWE shows for the recent few months, I hated them along with the Wyatt family, also a trio heel crew in current pro wrestling scene.

Warfare: SHIELD vs. EVOLUTION

Forgive me for posting this quite too late. To be honest with you folks, I never saw a lot of things coming following their another clash at Payback—that Seth Rollins already broke their trio up, leaving the Shield faction to only a tandem of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns.

But I think WWE in 2014 will never be an epic year (as what Triple H declared on his year-ending mano-a-mano interview with Michael Cole over WWE.com) without their two-battled rivalry—and I am talking about the clash of the three-man factions: SHIELD versus EVOLUTION.

Naaresto Na Si Bong! Eh Ano Ngayon?!

6/21/2014 3:45:31 PM

So, ­­natapos ang serye ng mga kontrobersiya at balita, at sa wakas… may nakulong din pala sa salang pandarambong (tama ba?). Noong nakaraang Biyernes, pormal na sumuko-slash-naaresto si Senador Ramon Bong Revilla Jr.

Kaso, ano na? Ano nang mangyayari pagkatapos nito?

Sa madaling sabi: eh ano ngayon?!

The Aftermath: 2014 NBA Finals

06/17/14 08:30:35 AM

As usual, hindi natatapos ang usapang NBA Finals sa pagtunong ng final buzzer o ni sa pagsabi ng broadcaster ng ESPN kung sino ang Finals MVP (na by the way, ay na-award kay Kawhi Leonard ng San Antonio Spurs), o sa mga post-game press conference.

Hindi mamamatay ang isyu na ito kahit na may World Cup pa ang mundo ng football, ang kasalukuyang kasabay na malaking sporting event sa larangan ng sports.

Bakit ganun? Malamang, marami kasi dyan ay hindi makaget-over sa usapang ito. Ke ang koponan niya ay nagchampion, o siya ay nanlulumo sa pagkatalo ng kanyang manok.

Flick Review: X-Men: Days of Future Past

6/8/2014 11:44:43 AM

Just a short post for now. My apologies in advance.

It’s only during my childhood days when I saw X-Men. And (yes) it was one of those cartoon series I used to watch at Channel 2 (or 9), aside from the Simpsons, Disney Adventures (on channel 7), Hanna Barbera-produced shorts (9), and even Yaiba (5).

But now, I know I’m quite too late for this, but it was the first time I watched a movie installment of X-Men. All I know way back then was Hugh Jackman seemed to be the reel and real main star of the Marvel series since he appeared on several editions including his very own “Wolverine” flick last year (Unfortunately, I was then-jobless which made me unable to see this film at all). Plus, he promoted it on a WWE Raw episode alongside wrestlers DolphZiggler and Damien Sandow, who dressed as “Magneto.”

Aral Muna Bago Landi

Sa panahon ngayon na ibang-iba na ang kabataan kung ikukumpara sa mga nakalipas na taon at dekada pagdating sa usapan ng taste at asta, ito na lamang ang tangi kong payo.

Oo, mag-aral muna kayo bago lumandi.

Ito na yata ang kakahinatnan natin matapos tayong mauto sa kanilang mabulaklak na salita sa ere at markahan ang panagalan nila sa balota. Akala kasi natin ay may ibubuga talaga ang kasikatan nila pag sila'y niluklok natin sa kani-kanilang mga upuan sa opisina. Akala natin, may makukuha tayong kapaki-pakinabang para sa bayan/lungsod/lalawigan na kinagisnan natin, at sa mas mahalaga at malawakang sakop, sa buong bansa.

Ops, 'wag mo kong hiritan ng “'Wag mo kong idamay d'yan!” Tarantadong hipokritong 'to. May kasalanan ka pa rin dito dahil kabilang ka pa rin bilang mamamayan ng republikang ito.

So, may kontrobersiyal na eksena na naman sa paboritong bahay ng lahat–ops, lilinawin ko lang: hindi ko po yan bahay kahit ganun din ang madalas na tawag sa akin ng nakararami. Oo nga, sa bahay ni Kuya (err, Big Brother House na nga lang), yun andun sa bandang Mother Ignacia, tapat ng kanilang network (where else? Ala naman magpakalayo-layo pa sila e no?).

The Scene Around: Gabi Ng Pagpupugay

06/13/14 01:32:20 PM

The Independence Day was the very important holiday for the citizens of Republic of the Philippines. It was indeed the date which showcased one of the most pivotal events in the history of this country–our independence of the three-century colonization of then-European imperialist Spain.

It was every June 12th of the year when several events were held in observance of our Independence day, such as job fairs, the annual rituals of giving tributes and respect to RP's official signs, and even advocacy-driven rallies and concerts.

Though most of them were on the political and artistic themes, no one seemed to put a hand on sports. It's like everyone forgotten something–that is to pay tribute to the people who made recognition through the means of playing the physical (and mental) activities in life called “sports.”

This is what the objective of a veteran sports-beat journalist and former commissioner of the now-defunct Philippine Basketball League (PBL) Chino Trinidad when he waged a sporting tribute event called “Pagpupugay”at the Newport Performing Arts Theater located inside the Newport Mall of Resorts World Manila on Thursday evening, which by the way was also the Independence Day (June 12).

The Rundown Slam: WWE Payback 2014

Say, it’s been a very long while since we have seen a very nice pay-per-view (PPV) event from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), considering that the previous PPVs turned out to be bust (with exception for the sports promotion’s flagship offering WrestleMania of course).

Look, TLC was half-good, but Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber were totally bad; and the latest edition of Extreme Rules came close to excellence.

Ang sanaysay na mababasa n’yo ay kathang-isip lamang.

Alas-diyes kwarenta’y singko na ng Linggo ng gabi. Last two minutes na yun sa fourth quarter. Tabla ang iskor sa 85. Umaandar ang orasan at ang possession ng bola ay sa mga nakapula. Mainit ang lugar kahit maulan noong gabing iyun. Hindi lang dahil sa matinding bakbakan, kundi dahil na rin sa tila blockbuster ang dami ng taong nanunood. Championship game na kasi yun at nasa sagad na ang serye ng kanilang best-of-three. Isa ang magwawagi habang ang isa nama’y masasawi.

Andray the Pinoy?

6/8/2014 11:30:12 AM

Nakarating na sa bansa si Andray Blatche, ang player ng Brooklyn Nets na magiging Pinoy kung sakali man na mapirmahan ng Pangulong Benigno Aquino ang kanyang papeles para maging opisyal na Filipino citizen at makalaro sa opisyal na koponan ng basketball na Gilas Pilipinas.

At kung maisakatuparan ito, ay buti naman kahit papaano ay nagbunga din ang mga ginawa nila Robbie Puno at Sonny Angara na nagsulong niyan sa kani-kanilang opisina sa Kongreso at Senado. Dapat lang din, no. 

Pambansang Kahibangan

Uso pa ba ang salitang “pambansa?” O may saysay pa ba ang kasaysayan, pati na rin ang mga bagay na nagsisilbing sagisang ng ating bayan? O baka hindi niyo rin alam ang salitang “sagisag?”

Kung tutuusin, nagbago na ang panahon. Kaya nagbago na rin ang mga bagay na nakasanayan ng karamihan sa atin. Ang mga pambansang bagay na yan? Asus, sa Sibika lang yan tinatalakay. Hindi naman yan na-apply sa ating buhay at sa ating bayan sa ngayon.

Pero nakakahibang lang din e. Tulad ng mga ‘to. Taob pa nga nito ang mga saigisang nila Allan K (bilang pambansang ilong) at Diego (bilang pambansang bading) eh.
