Flick Review: Norte Hangganan ng Kasaysayan

9/16/2014 11:02:24 PM

At first I had thought of watching this film by Lav Diaz. Yes, I’m taking about Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan (The End of History), folks.

My curiosity just flew from out of nowhere after reading articles about the film; specifically, a movie review in Fred’s Blog (the post apparently was republished at ABS-CBNNews.com).

Pambansang Photobomb?!

Ang photobomb ay ang isang tao o bagay na nakakasira o agaw ng atensyon mula sa subject ng litrat mismo. Sa terminolohiya ng mga taga-akedemiya, isa itong “distracting element.” Pero dahil nga nasa modernong panahon tayo kung saan ang selfie ay tumutukoy sa isang self-portrait na litrato, ang photobomb naman ay counterpart ng distracting element na ito.

Ito nga lang: ang isang ginagawang condominium sa Rizal Park ay nabansagang “pambansang photobomb” dahil sa nakatirik ang naturang ‘distracting element’ na ito sa pambansang parke ng Pilipinas — ang Luneta o ang tinatawag na “Rizal Park.”

May Bagong iPhone! E Ano Ngayon?!

9/21/2014 12:37:47 PM

May bago nang iPhone. iPhone6 (at 6 Plus) ang tawag (bagay na talaga naming obvious).

Eh kaso... ano naman ngayon?

Showtime!

9/17/2014 10:59:12 PM

So may bagong development. Nakapagbail na sila. Ibig sabihin, nakalaya.

Eh ano naman ngayon, balik na naman ang sirkulasyon ng pangbalitaan sa isang mala-taeng isyu gaya nito? Teka,  don’t try to tell me naging parte na naman ng mga “sa ulo ng mga nagbabagang balita” ang item na ito.

Eh ano pa nga ba ang aasahan mo?  Nasa bansa ka na palaging gutom at uhaw sa kontrobersiya. Alam ko, nakakatangina lang din talaga.

The Pre-Take: Rematch

I’d like to weigh in here. So, Brock Lesnar dealt John Cena the worst, lopsided, beatdown of his career, and perhaps the most one-sided fight in any WWE title matches history last SumemrSlam. Yes, kids, your hero lost as well as the WWE World Heavyweight title. Awww, how sad on your part, right?

However, Cena invoked his rematch clause. And to be frank, it appeared ridiculous. So, it’s John Cena vs, Brock Lesnar at the Night of Champions PPV event in Nashville, TN.

Late Policy

(Sa panahon na sinulat ko ito ay nailift na ni Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada ang modified truck ban sa naturang lungsod.)

Hay, naku talaga. Kahit kalian, since time immemorial, hindi tayo tinatatntanan ng problema sa lansangan.

Mantakin mo ha? Naging sakit ng ulo ng mga motorist sa North Luzon Expressway nung isang Biyernes ang sabay na implementasyon ng modified truck ban ng Maynila, tapos sinabayan pa ito ng buena manong pagpapatupad ng one truck lane policy sa mga piling pangunahing lansangan sa Metro Manila.

The Roar of the Filipino Crowd

9/16/2014 10:04:19 PM

(No intention to imitate the title WWE NXT theme per se)

Since the 2014 FIBA World Cup was already over, might as well give my brief take on this one.

It’s not surprising that the Unites States reigned supreme once again at the tournament. What can we expect? These guys threw their opponents away by at least 20 points per game!

Perhaps there are more surprising events than that, which I can relay few: like France just pulled a huge upset over host country Spain.

Australia allegedly intends to lose their remaining contest in avoidance to face USA.  Yes, what the hell, right? These people did not send you to Spain to intentionally lose their games in the first place.

And perhaps the biggest surprise of the World Cup is the Philippines’ appearance—and the immeasurable crowd. 

The Rundown Slam: WWE NXT Takeover Fatal 4 Way

9/15/2014 8:38:33 PM

This is the first time I’m going to have a say about the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) NXT third annual special titled NXT Takeover Fatal 4 Way.

yoursportsfeeder.com

Just about four months ago in the same titled event, Adrian Neville went successful in his title defense against Tyson Kidd. The gorgeous star Tyler Breeze also emerged as the top contender after defeating Sami Zayn. Plus, Charlotte won the vacant Women’s champion in a battle of generation superstars against Natalya; and the Ascension continued to reign supreme in their tag team duel.

Fast forward to September 11, at the same venue, the Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. The developmental brand is up for a two-hour package.

Just My Opinion: On Gatecrashing and Blog Politics

9/7/2014 12:18:14 PM

As much as I don’t want to tackle this type of issue (since blogging about events is something I rarely do), however, as a member of the blogosphere for half-a-decade, I have to be concern too.

Blog politics was never a new thing. In fact, at every aspect of our respective lives, that dirty word (and world) do really exists; whether it’s at school, office, virtual and even on our home.

And so was at the blogging industry.

Upcoming: Lupin the Third – The Philippine Movie Premiere

9/7/2014 8:48:25 PM

I was a fan of this Anime series. Yes, and during my childhood era, it usually aired after the newscast on GMA-7 instead of those telenovelas. Maybe it was because primetime for teens and even kids to have some entertainment.

Until I saw this on SM Cinema’s Facebook page last August.

Yes, Lupin the Third, the Monkey Punch-created 14 volume series you once witnessed in Manga (Japanese term for comics) starting 1967 to 1969, and on animated television series starting 1989 is now on the live action movie scene.

Flick Review: The Expandables 3

8/25/2014 2:18:23 PM

The squad just expanded even more and they just went even badass. How about this: Four veteran action movie actors in this one heck of a movie? Add some young guns out there and they’ll come blasting on your face.

But… really, does the cast really armed themselves with better pacing and plot, huh?

Playback: OST — Guardians of the Galaxy

8/26/2014 9:50:45 PM

Like I said before, one of the huge factors that definitely catches my attention when it comes on watching movies was their soundtrack. It’s more plus points (since pogi, from an alpha male omega guy’s point of view, sounds gay), if it sounds nostalgic. Why? Because the film, by just making prejudice assumptions, has a series of flashback devices used (‘throwback’ is not the better term, sorry folks!). Plus the fact, that old school music still rocks more than the newbie ones.

No Blatche = No Gilas in Asiad?

09/11/14 03:21:54 PM

Wait. Dahil lang kay Andray Blatche, hindi na sasali sa Asian Games ang Gilas Pilipinas?

Ayos ah. Seryoso?!

Ayon yan sa Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, ang grupo na nagpasimuno sa pagtaguyod sa ating national basketball team. Yan ay kung hindi nagwork-out ang kanilang apela sa Olympic Committe of Asia (OCA), ang organizer ng 2014 Asian Games sa Incheon, South Korea.

Back to Blogapalooza

9/7/2014 8:27:30 PM

(Updated 10/10/2014 03:19 PM; after the first initial event scheduled September 20, 2014 was cancelled due to stormy weather brought both by the southwest monsoon and typhoon Mario)

It’s back, and they have gone a bit earlier.

Yes, let’s say 11 months from its previous edition.

Lifestyle portal When in Manila along with Our Awesome Planet will have their third Blogapalooza, the biggest business to bloggers networking event in the country, on October 11, 2014, Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm at the Convention Halls 1 and 2 of SM Aura in Taguig City.

Saludo kay Gab

09/01/14 06:27:36 PM

Maliban sa Philipine Dragon boat team, sa Gilas Pilipinas at sa mga matitibay na atleta sa nakalipas, ito ang mas astig na dapat nating bigyan ng pansin: si Gab Moreno.

Ang 16 anyos na archer na galing sa kanyang eskwelahan na De la Salle univeristy (no wonder why they were called Archers sa UAAP in the first place), ay nakakuha ng gintong medalya sa Nanjing Youth Olympic Games noong nakaraang linggo. Astig, 'di ba?
