Isang bulabog sa magdamag: lumindol sa hilagang Pilipinas, kasama na ang Metro Manila (siyempre. Obvious ba?), kaninang alas-3:31 ng madaling-araw. Akala ko nga nagpa-palpitate ako nun, ngunit sa totoo lang, matapos maistorbo ng insidenteng yun, tumingin ako sa telepono ko para tignan ang oras at natulog muli.

Lingid sa kaalaman ko, lindol nga ang naganap. Alas-5:45 ng umaga, habng nagmamasid sa mga enws feed sa Facebook ay sari-saring mga status update ang aking nakikita. Lahat, may kinalaman sa lindol.

Kunsabagay, napakadalang man natin maranasan ang lindol. Pero pag minsan mo ito mapansin, nakakatakot pa nga ito kesa sa mga bagyong dumaan sa ating bansa. Dahil hindi nahuhulaan kung kelan yayanig ang lupang kinagagalawan natin.

Masyadong mainit. Masaydong piskal. Masyadong matindi lang.

Wow. Grabe ang laban noong nakaraang Biyernes ng gabi. 


Hindi mabilang na mga matitinding foul, mula technical hanggang flagrant ang tawagan. Walong tao ang sangkot, karamihan ay mga manlalaro, at sabit ultimo ang ballboy. Ayos!

The Scene Around: PWR Terminus

1/2/2015 8:12:17 PM

Local professional wrestling is on the verge of rising again. In case you’re wondering what the Helen of Troy am I talking about…here’s something I spotted over a month ago at the sports arena of the Makati Cinema Square.

Yes, it’s the Philippine Wrestling Revolution’s fourth event in 2014 named Terminus.

Yay or Nay? The Shockers, Stunners, and Suckers of 2014 (Part 6)

1/6/2015 8:25:23 AM

I managed to write the first two parts of this series previously known as the Yay or Nay? The Shockers of 2014. But again, since almost every single news item (if not all) brought uop our level of consciousness, I decide to rename the entire thing as the Shoclers, Stunner and Suckers of 2014. Stun and Shock may be synonymous to each other but I really meant ‘shock’ in general and ‘stun’ on the positive limelight here.

We were stunned by the outcome of all the things which are considered positive in our eyes simply beacuse it brought nothing but good vibes and uplifted out spirits, at least, for a while.

But on the flipside, there are some controversial issues which should have not been brought to circulation in the first place. But still, we ended up wasting our time, effort to think, kinetic energy and even saliva simply because we are bored.


Anyway, here are the continuation of the other shockers, stunners and suckers of the the year that was... yes, 2014!

Sudden Disappearance | 1/2/2015 4:45:18 PM

Suddenly, they were up, up in the air, and the next time around you’ll be surprised they are nowhere to be found.

How on earth, in the advent of GPS, the Malaysian Airlines flight got lost? Only to found out weeks later, the passengers were drowned and dead somewhere in the Indian Ocean. And no one survived the accident.

Yes, same question still runs on my mind. I thought the world’s deadspot was located around the Bermuda Triangle alone? Is terrorism a possible angle on this mishap? Say, what are the developments on this one? Considering one flight of AirAsia suffered the same fate just few days ago; and another Malaysian Airlines was taken down by a rebel group nearby Ukraine and Russia.

Things seems to be going tragic as shit right now.

I’d like to kick off 2015 (though I've already written a lot of posts prior to this one) with this song.


Yes, after years and even decades of mystery in my mind, I only found this thing from one of my Facebook friends. Yes, when he posted the track on the evening of December 31, 2014; just in time when I was writing my yearend post then.

CM Punk, or known as Philip Jack Brooks, who claimed he got his termination papers in the WWE on his wedding day with wrestler AJ Lee, signed up for a multi-fight deal with the MMA firm UFC.

The move triggered mixed reactions from both pro wrestling and the mixed martial arts aficionados.

Say, is CM Punk ready for this? I think so, considering him making decisions in his right frame of mind. Sure, wrestling may be dangerous as shit despite criticisms on their storylines, but MMA was even a tougher one; considering this: the MMA has been the venue for much intense and skillful training;and at the same time, the sport which gave the fans more kind of entertainment. Admit it, folks: the likes of UFC are where blood and pain was the name of the game.

Well, all I can say is… good luck on that endeavor.

The Rundown Slam: WWE TLC 2014

12/30/2014 8:43:16 PM
It was near Christmas, and the World Wrestling Entertainment pulled off their version of “Demolition Derby,” and it’s on the home of King James, the Hall of Fame of Rock and Roll, the place where the Q lives in – Cleveland, Ohio. Talk about the WWE’s Tables, Ladders, Chairs, and Stairs, or better known as TLC (TLCS term, though, sucks).

Anong Pake Mo Sa Cake Nila DongYan?

Ito ang tanong: Ano ang pakialam mo sa cake na ito?

Oo, yang cake na iyan na nagging tampulan ng isyu sa kasal nila Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes.

December 30, 2014: Day of National Amnesia and the Royal Wedding Fiasco

1/4/2015 2:06:25 PM

Alam ko: Masyado nang mainstream ang kasalan sa nakalipas na mga buwan. Nakakaurat na ang mga marriage proposal; at lalo pa ngang nauso ang mga usapang nagkakaboyfriend/girlfriend at mga nagpopropose na magpakasal nitong Disyembre lang.

Ha? Tangina! Akala ko ba t’wing Pebrero saka Hunyo lang nauuso ang mga ganitong bagay? Ang hihilig kasing makiuso e. Mga gusto mainitan ang Pasko nila at maiwasan mabansagang SMP o Samahan ng mga Malalamig ang Pasko. Teka, tangina, in the first place kalian ba naging summer ang atmosphere ng Kapaskuhan sa Pilipinas?

Parang ito: Disyembre a-30, mas naalala pa ng mga Pilipino ang kasalang Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes kesa sa mga mahahalagang kaganapan nun gaya ng biglang paglaho sa himpapawid ng isang eroplano ng AirAsia, at ultimo ang isa sa mga pambansang holiday — ang paggunita sa kamatayan ni Gat Jose Rizal. 

Dahil Tapos Na Ang Holiday Break…

1/2/2015 11:06:06 AM

Congrats! Tapos na ang maliligayang araw natin!

Ilang araw na lang, babalik na tayo sa realidad, sa problema, sa buhay na kinagisnan natin sa halos buong taon.

In short, tapos na ang Holiday break. Dahil malamang, tapos na rin ang bagong taon, at lalo naman… tapos na rin ang Pasko.

So, ano na? Tapos na ang Hholiday break… e ano ngayon?

This is Awesome (The Notable Matches on the WWE PPV Events of 2014 Part 2)

12/30/2014 11:39:47 AM


Let me reiterate: this is sole my opinion alone, and not a reflection of views from any wrestling affiliations I belonged with. Yes, after all, I don’t consider myself a total smark, but an avid follower.

The arrangement of the matches listed in this article were chronologically, and not on a countdown-like basis. All matches were held on their Pay Per View (PPV) events.

For every WWE pay-per-view event, there were at least one, two, or few more cards which deserved this type of chant.

Hereby are the last of my part two series regarding my take on the best matches made in the World Wrestling Entertainment for 2014.

Yes, and I intend to start this post with that “This Is Awesome” clip from the 2014 Slammy Awards. Not because of the nominees, but the hype the music brought on it. How I wish I could play that one minus the commentary as the background while you guys read this post.

Yay or Nay? The Shockers, Stunners, and Suckers of 2014 (Part 2)

12/30/2014 2:07:38 PM


Honestly speaking, I was in doubt for naming this post Shockers of 2014. I know: every year, news will always shock us, regardless if it runs on the same old shitty cycle or not.

But I beg to digress and I can’t help it. It’s like every year there will be happenings here in the metro, or somewhere in the country, or even around the globe that will wake our consciousness, regardless if it sounds stupid or legit; if it contains shallowness or well-excavated depth; or just because of a prominent name alone. Anyone who’s been scrutinizing all the current events and news should know there are key elements why such stories made it to the communication medium no matter how much we hate it or love it.

I tried recalling most (if not all) of the news that struck us in the year 2014 and gave my take on them as much as I can. If it differs on your point of view, then who cares anyway?

All stories enlisted on this article are arranged randomly.
