New Year's Resolution Kuno

1/24/2015 4:57:48 PM

(This is a late post.)

Kung tutuusin, hindi ako naniniwala sa New Year’s Resolution. Dahil para sa akin,para lag itong isang papel na minsan mo lang babasahin, tapos ipapasa kay titser, at hindi mo naman maiisip yun masyado kinabukasan (at kung sakali mangibalik sa iyo ng titser mo ang papel mong naglalaman ng mga “New Year’s Resolution ay baka itapon mo lang din sa basurahan ito ke perfect 100 man ang marka mo o isang tumataginting na palakol).

Nakakapagtataka nga kung bakit pa tayo gawa nang gawa ng mga ganitong bagay samantalang hindi naman natin nasusunod ang mga ito? Maliban na lamang kung isa kang napakadisplinadong mamayan. (Dyan, hanga ako.)

Niloloko lang naman natin ang sarili natin eh.

Flick Review: That Thing Called Tadhana

I first noticed them as part of the Cinema One Originals late last year. Though unfortunately, I wasn’t able to watch them, nor any of its other entries. It was only earlier this year when this film penetrated the mainstream shores, thanks to their film distributor Star Cinema, which also helped films like On The Job, and Hari ng Tondo expand beyond the independent scene by terms of having nationwide releases.

This time around though, I watched a movie with a group of officemates; something different considering that I usually go to cinemas alone; or in case I have a companion, it’s always been my ex-girlfriend. Perhaps, it was a perfect way to set-up a Friday night out; taking an early weekend breakaway from all the stress of the previous four working days.

Also, it’s the first time this year that I watched a movie inside the real venue itself.

That Thing Called Tadhana, a motion picture which stars Angelica Panganiban and JM De Guzman, tackles a certain Mace Castillo’s soul-searching sojourn off a break-up. Wanting a new start away from Rome, she went back to the country and spent days in Baguio and Sagada as she desperately tried to move on from the mishap.

Sinasabing ang pinuntahan ni Pope Francis dito sa bansa ay yung mga mahihirap.

Pero,ano nga ba ibig sabiin nito? Parang may mali.

The Scene Around: DocDef 061

2/7/2015 10:00:06 PM

I randomly spotted through the news feed of my Facebook when one of my college friends (who, by the way, is an indie musician) posted a photo containing an event poster: it’s DocDef 61 held 8 PM of January 24, 2015 at Route 196 bar in Quezon City.

That seems interesting as my first impression; considering it’s been a very long while since I attended an underground gig; but actually it felt like first time. Plus the venue was just a mere walking distance from my residence.

Scoring Bombs

It’s been weeks of scoring explosions yet again here in the NBA. Looks like some players really carve their names regardless if they will end up being in the All Star roster or not (which, by the way, will be coming second weekend of February in New York City).

Yes, after Mo Williams scored a season-high 52 points earlier this season (that, by the way, sets highs on his career and franchise as well), how about this—NBA-record 37 points in a single quarter from Klay Thompson?

The Scene Around: Bloggers ng Pinas' Basic Photography

It’s that one fateful Saturday afternoon in October at the U-View of the Full Booked Bonifacio High Street branch when Bloggers ng Pinas, a group comprising of different bloggers based around the country, made a two-hour summit possible intended for Basic Photography.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Royal Rumble 2015

From Pittsburgh (and the end-game disappointment), the World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) first annual pay-per-view (PPV) offering moved a bit closer inside the Pennsylvania state, as Royal Rumble awaits the return of Daniel Bryan, the eventual emergence of Roman Reigns, and moreover the triple threat match for the most coveted WWE World Heavyweight championship.

Isa sa mga nabalita na may kinalaman sa dahilang (what?!) hindi nanalo si MJ Lastimosa sa Miss Universe noong nakaraang linggo ay ang kontrobersiya naito: ang kanyang national costume na pinagawa raw ni Stella Marquez Araneta sa isang Colombian designer.

Bakit nga ba ganun?

Is the President really missing in action?

Ito ang tanong na umaalingawngaw nitong nakaraan lang kasunod ng arrival honors sa 44 na mga kapulisang napatay sa engkwentro sa Mamasapano, Maguindanao.

Kung tutuusin, napakadaling itanong o sabihing, "OO, missing in action siya." Pero... ano nga ba ang nangyari kasi?

I just saw Royal Rumble last night; and what more I can say, but perhaps another blunder at hand.

But at least, for instance we saw a bit of favorable result (err, that still remains questionable).

By The Names: WWE Royal Rumble 2015

This post might come too late considering I already made this posting less than 11 hours before the Royal Rumble event itself goes live at the Wells Fargo Canter in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia!

Well, unless you manage yourself to stay away from your own Twitter feed and instead stay glued to your TV sets on Monday evening. That actually may sound an instant segue to a plug-in, but it’s my own prerogative and I don’t need to get paid for it anyway.

Here’s the thing though: We have seen the numbers; those incredible statistics; and those figures which dictated history of the entire royal rumble match.

Upcoming: Unfriended

One of my close friends in the office sent me via Skype a copy of this movie trailer.

I've got to be honest with you, though: I’m not a fan of horror films. I never dared myself to watch them fully whether by soloflight or with companions.

The Scene Around: 2015 PBA Philippine Cup Finals Game 7

1/22/2015 2:43:31 PM

Looks like that ­­Wednesday evening was the wildest so far. Well, you couldn’t blame me for bragging that one out since it’s just the start of the year yet.

Especially at the local pro basketball scene where two teams went over the limit in one of the most historic finishers in the league we know as the Philippine Basketball Association.

The scene was set at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, and 22,511 attendants (including yours truly) and millions of watching spectators via TV broadcast coverages and live streaming on the internet, witnessed Game 7 unfold in their eyes.

Catfight In The Making

Kung tutuusin, malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw dapat ang linyang nagdidikta ng pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng pagyayabang ng pananampalataya, sa pagiging sobra o tahasang paninira sa relihiyon ng iba.

So, sinasabi ni isang Marlene Aguilar na ang Santo Papa Francisco I ay isang “kampon ng dilim.” At ayon pa nga kay She Dragon, maliban pa sa tinawag na demonyong naka-abito ang santo papa, ay tahasan pang sinumbatan ang mga nananalig na Katoliko bilang mga idiota, o tanga.

Naghamon pa nga ng suntukan sa sinumang papalag sa sinabi niya eh. Kayang magpatumba ng isang libong katao.

Ang tanong, may pumatol ba sa isang sobrang taong may pagkasobrang radikal ang nilalaman ng kanyang utak at bunganga? Maliban pa sa mga taong nagngitngit sa galit sa pamamagitan ng pagkumento sa thread ng kanyang Facebook post?

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Basura, Basura, Basura

Basura, Basura, basura.

Parang trapiko lang... isang problemang walang solusyon, o isang halimaw na walang kamatayan. Anumang araw, oras o okasyon, hindi ito nawawala at lalong hindi ito mawawala sa sirkulasyon.

At sa panahon na andito ang Santo Papa sa bansa, ito ang naging gatambak na problema.

Teka, ano pa bang bago dito kung tutuusin?
