"Hell No!"

Hindi siya tatakbo bilang pangulo.

Oo, matapos ang mahaba-habang panahon ng spekulasyon, hindi nga tatakbo ang gusto nating maging presidente na si Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Yan ay matapos ang kanyang press conference nitong nakaraang Lunes ng hapon sa lungsod ng Davao.

Naku. Patay tayo dyan. Tayo din kasi e. Ang kukulit natin. Ang hihilig natin mamuna. Mang hihilig natin pulaan ang mga bagay-bagay; at ultimo ang kulay niya, pinutakte natin.

Biting on Zark's Burgers

7/12/2015 6:25:00 PM


For over the past seven months, it’s been somewhat a roller-coast ride for me. You know, I am still into writing here at The SlickMaster’s Files; though it also appeared like I’m slowing down since I am handling different various things nowadays such as plans to do a podcast, dealing with a new team on my day job, as well as taking a bit of learning to do concert photography and videography (Yes! I missed doing this a lot of times, especially before when I am still hooked up to video editing, photography, and even lay-out design).

Apparently, I am taking these matters on a scheduled basis; which barely means I am taking this point of time to work on something that carved my name in this world: of course, blogging. And this time, I’m not just doing rants on current bullshits of this society. But rather, how about for a bit of change, like reviewing foods or bars? Yeah, since my nightlife’s been resurrected at the start of 2015, (thanks to my newly-met friends in the indie music scene) might as well do something good—at least, this site has the other side aside from raving for good tunes and flicks!

Hassled Lessons

09/02/2015 11:42:14 AM

Tapos na ang protesta na nagsimula ng kaliwa't kanang maiinit na palitan ng kuro-kuro at argumento sa social media. Tapos na rin ang protesta na naghanap ng kaliwa't kanang butas at palusot.

At higit sa lahat, tapos na rin ang protesta na nagparalisa sa isang kalsadang pinupuntirya ng mga saksayan kahit kailan. Masaydo na ngang mabigat ang trapiko, mas bumiat pa lalo. Oo, saktong-sakto sa payday long weekend weekend nun na sinabayan pa ng buhos ng ulan; pati na rin ang buhos ng maiinit na salita. Wasak, 'di ba?

Ngayon, ano na? Ano na ang mangyayari? Ano naman ang matutunan natin pagkatapos nito?

BER months na! Eh Ano Ngayon?!

Ay, matapos ang walong buwan, it's the season to be jolly again. Pero tunong ka-atat-an lang e no? Ano akala mo, Pasko na kagad? 'Di ba pwede mag-September muna?

Oo. Ber months na nga. E ano ngayon?

The Rundown Slam: WWE SummerSlam 2015

8/31/2015 6:16:56 PM

Say, SummerSlam just got better, as what the World Wrestling Entertainment claimed a few weeks ago? Well, they had packed cards (10 matches to be exact) on their four-hour schedule; ditching the preshow with mostly talks and bunch of trashtalks in the process. Perhaps they are telling a narrative prior to the game itself—in such a typical manner.

Playback: Autotelic – Close Your Eyes

I still remember that fateful night my college friend introduced me to their music. Since then, I’m all totally hooked-up.

And what’s the reason not to?

PlayBack: Farewell Fair Weather – Beyond

Say, does the single already told their story? Basing on the lyrics alone, there are two words which I can only utter: perhaps and indeed.

The Scene Around: SiKuna

08/20/2015 05:33:31 PM


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.

Upcoming: Tagaytay Art Beat

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


08/20/2015 05:21:04 PM 


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!

The Rundown Slam: WWE NXT TakeOver Brooklyn

8/23/2015 9:40:26 PM
Say, the World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) developmental firm had just got better, eh? A few months after a series of NXT talents underwent a tournament o have a representative on WrestleMania 31’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale, NXT had taken over Brooklyn, New York as a supporting gig to what we call

The Pre-take: WWE SummerSlam 2015

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?
