Tirada Ni SlickMaster: National Language Ban?!

7/12/2014 10:11:02 AM

Isang kagimbal-gimbal na balita na lamang ang gumulantang noong nakaraang (o kung masyado kang mapagbilang sa kasaysayan – ika-116) Araw ng Kasarinlan — pinapatinanggal sa kurikulum ng mga kolehiyo ang subject na Filipino.

The irony, ‘di ba? Mukha lang siyang nanggaling sa So What’s News, Abril Uno, at sa kung saang satire site.

Last Minute Syndrome

5/24/2014 6:04:59 AM


Isa sa mga sakit ng tao ay ang “katamaran.” Daig pa nya ang kanser, heart attack, at stroke kung tutuusin. Kung may pambasang sagisang ang mga karamdamansa ating lipunan, ito yun. Oo nga,ang katamaran. Bow. At isa sa mga kalunos-lunos na resulta ng ating pagiging “katam” ay ang pagkakaroon pa ng isang kumplikasyon na kung tawagin ay “last minute syndrome.”

Daig pa nito ang “last two minutes” (mas okay kung ang magsasabi nito ay yung lumang coliseum barker sa PBA; yung medyo monotonous ang dating) sa basketball. Dito, mas clutch ang mga tao. Mas nagmamadali. Mas maraming napapraning. At mas maraming umiinit ang ulo na humahantong sa kanilang pagkadismaya.


Kaya ang resulta ay magpaparinig sa Facebook at magwiwika ng “Putanginang COMELEC yan! Wala na raw extension! Samantalang dumating naman ako ng last day para magparehisto!”

Grand Slam!

7/12/2014 11:11:33 AM

It’s a very rare thing for the world of Philippine sports to see this word: Grand Slam. And bet my money on this: fans nowadays aren’t very much familiar with that.

Yes, it’s very rare that only three ball clubs achieved the feat in all 39 years of existence in the PBA.
Until San Mig Coffee completed their road of bagging fourth straight championship—including all of the three conference crowns this season.

"Saan Po Kayo Kumukuha Ng Kapal Ng Mukha?"

7/12/2014 10:31:08 AM

Ito ang narinig  mo sa State of the Nation Addres ng Kuya mo last year (Lunes yun to be exact, July 22, 2013).

Manila Bulletin, philipinenewscentral.wordpress.com

“Saan po kayo kumukuha ng kapal ng mukha?”

Knocked Down In 16 Seconds

7/15/2014 10:59:14 PM

I rarely watch any matches from the Ultimate Fighting Championship; and in case I managed to really catch up, I ended up seeing this lady named Ronda Rousey.

Wow, this chick’s not just your ordinary fighter, aye? She’s been jeered like a wrestling; heel and the next time around, praised like a real champ. Prior to battling Alexis Davis on UFC 175, Rousey had dominated almost all of her MMA fights by submission – with 7 of her 8 armbar victories came on the first round alone.

Now that’s a toughass chick right there.

As I looked forward to the Battleground, I saw this video circulated over the internet.

Unconstitutional?!

7/15/2014 10:50:29 PM

Ayan na. Lumabas na ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema; aniya, “unconstitutional” daw ang Disbursement Acceleration Program fund o sa madaling sabi, ang DAP. At 13-0 yan, isang bonggang-bonggang unanimous decision, na kala mo ay sa mga laban sa UFC at boxing mo lang maririnig ang katagang yan.

O tapos, ano na? Unconstitutional pala yan eh!

Gangster Daw?!

Anong meron sa poster na ito?

Gangster daw.

Whoa. Talaga ha? Gangster ampucha. Bakit ganun namana ng itsura, parang albularyo daw?

Mga Bagay Na Dapat Mong Gawin Kapag Wala Kang Pasok

7/15/2014 11:58:14 PM

Sa buhay ng isang batang-isip, walang mas sasaya pa kesa sa masuspinde ang pasok mo sa eskwelahan. Aminin!

Pero hindi porket no classes ka na dahil sa bagyo ay magpapakatambay ka na lang. Maawa ka naman sa magulang mo, kaya narito ang dapat mong gawin sa mga ganitong klaseng panahon.

The Scene Around: 2014 Master Game Face Challenge

7/12/2014 11:20:36 AM

Four weeks ago, yours truly dropped by at the Smart Araneta Coliseum to witness Kevin Love’s Manila tour as the 3-time NBA All-Star forward graced the second edition of the Master Game Face Challenge.


It was formally slated after the San Mig Coffee-Talk ‘N Text semifinal clash in the PBA Governor’s Cup where the San Mig Coffee won.

VIP (Very Important Prisoner?!) v. 2014

06/23/14 02:38:46 PM

So, ayan na. May umaalingawngaw na isang hinang. Mainit raw masyado. Baka naman pe-puwedeng magka-aircon sa kulungan nila.

Pero dahil lahat tayo may mahihilig umapila, baka naman pwede na rin nating samahan ng stock ng sabong mabango (yung panligo, ayon sa mga kapitbahay ko sa bukid), pagkain na may unlirice, wifi connection, saka extended na visiting hours. Oo, kung manghihingi ka rin naman, sagarin mo na.

Ganun? Demanding ang datingan nila, eh no? Mas makapal pa ba sa makakapal na mukha nila?

Umuwi Na Si LeBron. Eh Ano Ngayon?

7/13/2014 11:02:56 AM

So, ayan na. After four years, balik siya sa kanyang tirahan (hoy, bahay yan, iba kagad iniisip mong hinayupak ka eh). From Miami, he’s back to the Cavaliers.

So, ano na? Ano naman ngayon kung babalik siya sa Cleveland? Ano o anu-ano ang mga posibleng mangayri, maliban sa malamang na maapektuhan na naman ang takbo ng NBA nito gaya ng paglipat niya sa Heat noong 2010.

Actually, ewan ko. Basta, ito lang ang mga siguradong mangyayari.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Money in the Bank 2014

7/12/2014 9:49:12 AM

I can only say nothing but few words for the last WWE pay-per-view event titled “Money in the Bank” ­— it’s really worth the “money!”

A lot of blockbuster-hyped match lived up to its expectations, with two ladder matches containing respective prizes at stake: one is for the Money In The Bank contract (which guarantees him for a contender spot for the big one), and the other is for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Flick Review: Transformers Age of Extinction

07/01/14 05:13:10 PM

I haven't saw the entire Transformers franchise. In fact, it was five years ago when I only saw the Transformers' second flick titled “Revenge of the Fallen” in a movie date which went awkward (it was a trio flick meet-up, by the way).

But forget July 2009 for that matter. After all of those times, I haven't seen neither the first nor the third motion picture of that Hasbro-manufactured action figures.

Alaala Ng Trese

6/7/2014 11:41:05 PM

Let’s shy away from the three big networks here in the Philippines. Pag-usapan naman natin… ito.

Sa panahon na sinusulat ko ang blog post na ito, ay kasalukuyan kong pinapanood ang Retro TV, isang programa ng IBC-13 na umere muli nitong nakaraang Sabado ng gabi, (dakong alas-10 yun, to be exact).
Sa panasamantalang pagtangkilik sa programang yun, na ang nag-host pala by the way ay si Drew Arellano, isang episode ng TODAS at Sic O Clock News ang umere.
