Mas Matakot Ka sa Buhay Kesa Sa Patay

11/1/2014 2:48:39 PM

Real talk lang. Bagamat minsan naniniwala ako namay mga bagay na napakamisteryo na hindi basta-basta maipaliwanag ng siyensiya.

Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ako ganun kapanatiko ng mga nakakatakot na palabas, telebisyon man o pelikula.

Bakit? Ito ang isa samga pinaniniwalaan ko: “mas matakot ka sa buhay kesa sa patay.”

Alaala Ng Sembreak

11/2/2014 2:18:59 PM

Semestral break, ang panahon na nagsasaya ang estudyante. Panahon ng panasamantalang bakasyon, at sana’y tumagal pa nun, dahil bitin ang isang linggo para sa elemtary at high school; samantalang sakto lang sa kolehiyo.

EAT. SLEEP. RANT. REPEAT. (The Shirt Edition)

10/18/2014 1:02:44 AM

As much as I don’t really dig those Outfits of the Days, (I mean I don’t really flaunt my OOTDs unlike the present trend), I ended up sharing the shirt I personally conceptualized.

Yes, it all started as a cover photo which also uploaded on my Instagram account.

Four words: EAT. SLEEP. RANT. REPEAT.

The Good Guys and Juan Flavier

11/1/2014 3:40:10 PM

Halos nakalimutan na yata ng mga Pilipino ang mamang ito…. Hanggang nung pumanaw siya noong isang araw (o isang linggo ang nakalilipas mula noong pormal kong inilimbag ito).

Pero, bakit si Sen. Juan Flavier pa, na isa sa mga hinangaan na pulitiko at public servant? Lalo na noong dekada ’90 sa kanyang pamamahala sa Department of Health. Kung maalala niyo, siya ang nagpauso ng slogan na “Let’s DOH it!” (with matching thumbs up sign). Daig pa nito ang iba pang mga “Philippines 2000” public service announcement (PSA) na umeere nun sa Philippine television.

Isa rin siya sa mga taong nangampanya sa Yosi Kadiri. (May drawing pa nga nito nun eh)

Balik-Tambalan

11/05/2014 08:30:47 AM 

Sa dinami-rami ng mga naglipanang balita noong nakaraang linggo, pasensya na kung magpapakashowbiz muna ako ha, pero ito lang yata nag pinakamagandang narinig ko: Jolina Magdangal balik-Kapamilya na, at magtatambal ng kanyang dating kaloveteam na si Marvin Agustin sa isang teleserye.

Oo, tangina, seryoso ako sa sinabi ko. Yan lang yata ang pinakamagandang balita narinig ko. Hindi dahil sa isa akong 90s baby na namulat ang kamalayan sa mga tulad nila ha? Pero ewan ko.

Shutdown?!

11/2/2014 1:18:44 PM

Sa dinami-rami ng problema sa MRT line 3 mula sa teknikalidad ng mga riles, tern,at crowd control at kabuuang operayon, may ugong-ugong noon na kailangan raw ishutdown muna ito para lang maisaayos ang dapat maisaayos.

Ano, kelangan i-shutdown?

Ang Bahaing Marikina River?!

9/21/2014 5:45:19 PM

Sinasabing ang lungsod ng Marikina ay isa sa mga mararaming lugar sa Pilipinas na palaging binabayo ng baha. In fact, dahil nga diyan ay nagkaroon na ng stigma ang mga Pinoy pagdating sa lugar na ito.

Pare 1: Saan kayo nakatira?

Pare 2: Sa Marikina.

P1: Pare, di ba binabaha dun?

P2: Oo.

Ang Istorya ng Katorpehan ni Jerry Maya (v. 2014)

10/02/2014 05:32:49 PM

(Ang pangalang nabanggit sa blog na ito ay pawang nagkataon lamang.)

As much as gusto kong mamasada sa mga napapanahong isyu, ay... teka, dumating na naman ang tropa ko after two years. Mukhang nanghihingi na naman 'to ng kasosyo sa bibilhing alak, para maglabas ng sama ng loob (ops, hindi ito tae, ha?) na parang two year ago lang ay ikinuwento niya sa akin.

The Scene Around: Blogapalooza 2014

10/17/2014 11:16:38 PM

It was that time of the year once again as When In Manila, along with Our Awesome Planet, and principal sponsors Globe, Easy Taxi, and Chooks to Go, held the 2014 Blogapalooza – the biggest business to blogger event in the country.

It’s actually the second time I hit Blogapalooza, with the first one held almost a year ago also at the same venue. And after six months, I reunite with my friends from the team Powerhouse bloggers. Also, spotted at the event were the blogger I usually interact from Bloggers ng Pinas, Pinoy bloggers, and those who participate in comment exchange threads.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Hell in a Cell 2014

It’s that time of the year when the World Wrestling Entertainment switched gears and went as hellish as fuck when they slate two inferno-like cage matches on Sunday popularly known as Hell in the Cell.

(Ang sanaysay na ito ay naglalaman ng isang matinding bugso ng emosyon.)

"Sa totoo lang. Wala akong pakialam. Wala sana akong pakialam sa mga nangyayari, basta wala akong ginagawang masama.

Hanggang nagpakita ang mga demonyong tulad niyo. Akala ko nananaginip lang ako. Akala ko isang bangungot. Akala ko isang gag sa comedy show o isang masakit na biro.

Throwback: This is It

10/21/2014 10:40:34 AM

I wanna take a look back on exactly five years ago, when news about the passing of this legendary-yet-controversial musician made waves. Yes, even beyond the trends of the modern world.

Michael Jackson's death instantly abrupt plans of making a huge comeback to the music scene via his worldwide tour This is It. And supposedly, it will have their kickstart on the O2 Arena in London on July 13 2009, just few weeks before his untimely demise on June 25.

The Bioessence Experience

10/30/2014 04:24:05 PM

It's been a very long while since the last time I hit a beauty establishment. And I know, that ain't my type at all. It's just because I managed to earn some perks while attending some blogging/press matters such as Blogapalooza.

Just last year, on the very first time I hit When in Manila's annual business-to-blogger meet-up November 2013, I got a freebie from Bioessence, the two-decade old beauty and wellness establishment. Well, the perk actually offered me either a facial or a back massage. I chose the former, and that was also the very first time I have undergone such treatment. So aty least, I could say nothing but good words regarding that matter.

Why am I here?
Who the hell are you?
Are you some kinda ghost from the past?
Or somebody will haunt my future?

Flick Review: The Trial

10/26/2014 10:52:33 AM

Warning: some parts of this article could spoil your ass off.

It’s been a long while since I last dug a couch and watch a film that is not really my type: heavy drama, especially the family-catered ones. Considering these: the last time perhaps I hit a drama-related flick was Sean Ellis’ Metro Manila; but if we’re really talking about the movie for the family here, it was 1996 (then a Kinder 2 student) when I saw Ama, Ina, Anak at that Ali Mall cinema in Cubao. The Jose Javier Reyes-directed flick stars Edu Manzano, Maricel Soriano, and Angelica Panganiban.

Since then, we can only afford to see more romance-driven pictures from ABS-CBN’s film firm with the exception for the following: Tanging Yaman and Anak.

Ironically though after 18 years, I saw another Star Cinema drama product titled The Trial (and yes, in cinemas again).  

Talk about a mentally-challenged 27-year old Ronald Jimenez (portrayed by John Lloyd Cruz) facing a trial after allegedly raping her teacher Bessy Buenaventura (Jessy Mendiola), with broad complex plot obstacles in the process, including Ronald’s family background, his connection with a late young advocate, Bessy’s relationship , and her school’s reputation.
