Lookback: PWR Vendetta

4/13/2015 1:44:03 PM

Just over a month from now, the Philippine Wrestling Revolution will celebrate a year of showmanship by its extravagant WrevolutionX this coming May 23.

Before things go beyond the limits of being a rookie though, let’s take a brief lookback... to 2015’s kickstarter named PWR Vendetta.

Inside the Pages: Stupid is Forever

3/5/2015 4:20:47 PM

Just when you thought Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago was more than just a woman legislator with a bunch of quotable quotes that are worthy of every television and radio airtime, hey… guess what? ABS-CBN Publishing compiled a book full of her epigrams and even privilege speeches outside the House.

Satchmi Record Store Week

4/14/2015 5:18:28 PM

I'm not a huge vinyl fan, but I do admire them for some time. And collecting them  could be a missing piece to the puzzle of every music fan (like yours truly).

Over the weekend, I dropped by at the Satchmi Vinyl Day to check out not just the big-circle shapes records on sale, but to see fantastic sets from different musicians as well.

But just when I thought Vinyl Day was just an all-day long affair, I was wrong. 

Yes... How about these guys from the country's premier vinyl distribution outlet giving an extension offer, like a Satchmi Record Store Week?

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: The Sagada Swarm

Nasobrahan ata 'to sa hugot, ah.

So, nang dahil sa That Thing Called Tadhana ay naging tanyag na tourist destination ang Mount Kiltepan sa Sagada, Mountain Province.

Oo, at dahil sa sobrang tanyag nito, naging tampulan ng isyu ang naturang bundok na naging pamoso na rin sa kakaibang ganda nito. Oo, lalo na pag tumanaw ka at makikita mo ang naglilitawang kaulapan sa pagsapit ng araw.

The Scene Around: FlipTop Second Sight III

It’s like five years in the making. I only managed to see them through the videos at YouTube. And even if I had plans to watch them live in the past, unfortunately it didn’t go through.

Not until the 13th of March, though; as yours truly strolled by Makati and found myself watching for the first time—an event by the FlipTop rap battle league called Second Sight III at B-Side in The Collective, Malugay Street, Makati City. Just in front of the Makati City Police District and a bearable walking distance from the Philippine National Railways (PNR) Buendia Station.

Sabagay, may pagkatotoo rin naman ang litratong ito.

Just My Opinion: Urbandub's Disbandment

Fifteen years in the industry; perhaps a typical life expectancy for a music band; Yes, after one and a half decade, they will part ways.

Sad, right?

The Rundown Slam: WrestleMania 31

Like a holiday jingle, “it’s that wonderful time of the year” again, as the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) staged their annual entertainment spectacular event once again. And by the way, it comes with a play button.

WrestleMania 31 was a heck of a show at the Silicon Valley. Forget that it aired on a Sunday afternoon—with a sun-shinyyy day atmosphere. It may appeared scorching hot as shit right there, but you can never deny the event was hotter as it gets.

As much as I want to tackle the pre-show which featured 2 matches, I hadn’t watched them so I beg your pardon in advance and instead move on to the main program.

Pinoy ang Semana Santa…

4/4/2015 1:06:46 PM

Parang sa kahit anong panahon pa ang magkaroon dito sa Republika ng Pilipinas, ay may kanya-kanya tayong bersyon ng pagdiriwang ng Semana Snata, mula Visita Iglesia hanggang Senakulo, hanggang Alay-Lakad, hanggang Kursipiksyon. At walang masama dito. Patunay lamang ito kung ano tayo bilang isang lahi na may likas na debosyon sa ating paniniwala.

Ngunit, Pinoy ang Semana Santa kapag…

After a Good Friday hiatus, I’m back to the blogosphere once again. And for this Black Saturday, I will share something that I hope most of you guys will like. Especially if you’re been shrugging away from the upbeat noise recently.

Since I’ve been digging the independent music scene for about a few months already, I found one of my new favorites aside from the ones I listened to before.

And just a few weeks ago, I was at the Bih Zahr restobar at South Triangle, Quezon City to support Sparks Productions’ “Hindi Po Ito Gig, Group Project Lang Po” event. I’ll give you some brief background about of the seven acts who performed there.

The "Seeing-Pope Francis" Experiment

Just 15 days into this year, we had a visitor. And it’s not just a visitor, but an iconic one.

What am I talking about?

Ano Ang Penitensya Mo?

4/2/2015 2:16:43 PM

Psst.

Ikaw. Oo, ikaw nga. Ikaw na nagsasabing mahal mo ang Diyos, ‘di ba? Ikaw na nagyayabang (na hindi sa masamang kahulugan) sa iyong pananampalataya sa Kanya.

Alam ko may araw naman ng Linggo para magpahinga. Pero ‘tol. Semana Santa na. Pwede ka munang prumeno mula sa mga makamundong gawain mo. After all, tao ka pa rin naman na nagkakasala madalas ay dapat lang din naminsan ay mahimasmasan sa pananampalaya, di ba?

Uso magdasal. As long as bukal naman sa iyong kalooban ang iyong ginagawa. Yun naman ang mahalaga ‘di ba?

Pero hindi ako nandito para mang-asar (dahil 14 na oras nang tapos ang April Fool’s Day, at ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa Diyos ay madalas sineseryoso talaga), at hindi rin kita pipilitin. Bagkus nagtatanong lang ako na may halong suhestiyon at payo nga lang.

“Ano ang penitensya mo?”

You can never deny what happened on this day in this year: It is the day where the professional wrestling’s biggest stage took over the world. And it’s called “WrestleMania.”
