August 1, 2015 was a very busy day for me. I bought a book in the afternoon, let it signed by the author, had a gig at SaGuijo later that evening, and here I am at the Century Mall for an art-related event, as Para Sa Sining staged SiKuna, a collaborative art festival which showcased seven art forms and featured a lot of names on their respective industries, at the venue's Events Center during August 1.

What can you have when music and arts collide? Well, a very excellent combo. It’s kinda rare the public were given for this kind of treat, especially for the interested people.

The Scene Around: One Night Stan

It's been almost two years since I once dropped by at a book signing event of this guy known as Stanley Chi. His series of Suplado Tips and Pogi Points somehow tipped me enough on how to be drastically snob when needed, and to be gentle to the ladies at important times.

No one really knows I have a fascination for emotional-driven ballads, too. And don't blame my being badass for that.

Anti-Dynasty Bill?!

8/22/2015 3:36:54 PM

Noong nakaraang buwan, narinig natin sa State of the Naiton Address ng kuya natin na dapat ay maipasa na ang Anti-Political Dynasty Bill bago matapos ang kanyang termino. Oo, sa kalagitnaan ng kanyang pagiging tikom ang bibig sa SAF 44 at Bangsamoro Basic Bill, nabanggit ang isa sa mga panukalang since time immemorial pa ibinabato.

Wow, anti-political dynasty, ipapasa na? Hanep! Panalo!

Pero.... asus. In our wildest dreams, no!

Okay, it’s the biggest SummerSlam ever, as The Authority claimed it, eh? Well, you have a match that is called “too big for WrestleMania (even if the root and angle of this feud sounds illogical at will),” then the now-retired talk show host Jon Stewart is this year’s special guest anchor, and all-in-all you have ten matches slated that the World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest party of the summer goes four hours. Yes, 240 minutes starting from 7 PM US Eastern time (or 7 AM Philippine standard time) on August 23, 2015 (24 in PH).

How about that, despite the sudden closure of the IZOD center?

Yes, I said this statement a lot of times again and I am saying it more. I am fucking sold on this one.

It was July 11 when Amplify.PH celebrated their second year of existence in the local music scene, and it's called AMPLIFIIED.

One More Sequel

Sa panahon na ang mga romantikong drama na lamang ang pinakaengrandeng porma ng entertainment sa atin, sa panahon na ang bitawan ng mga salitang hinugot sa damdamin ng isang tao, sa panahon na ang romantisismo ay hindi lang isang icon sa popular na kultura kundi isang epektibong stratehiya sa negosyo, tila ang One More Chance ay ang isa sa mga patok na pelikula sa nakalipas na dekada.

Uber-problem Solved!

8/19/2015 12:03:38 PM

Alam ko. Since time immemorial na ang isyung ito. Hindi masawata dahil siguro sa dami ng mga nagrereklamo at nakikialam, lalo na sa panahon na nagiging tampula ng mga balita ang mga reaksyon sa social media.

Buti na lang kamo, solved na ang uber-problemang ito kanina.

Playback: MilesExperience – Love Supreme

08/17/2015 11:56:14 AM

For such a-bit-long while I became a fan of a band called MilesExperience. Perhaps, just a few weeks since I immersed myself into the local independent music scene.

And can anyone persuade me to do otherwise? Nah, don't even dare.

Non-story

Naalala ko tuloy yung isang balita ukol sa pamilyang ito, na pinangalan ang anak nila sa isang klase ng ‘direksyon’.’ Pambihira, angas ‘di ba? Nakakasuya lang.

Maiba naman. Fast-forward sa dos-mil-kinse. 

Ano ang meron sa videong ito?
