The Pre-catfight Square-Off

11/15/2015 10:51:56 AM

Seems this world’s getting chaotic little by little. Explosions, attacks, and even altercations trigger a worldwide pandemonium. Well, we could only hope for justice to prey down the culprits in the recent suicide bombings in Paris, as well as the other mishaps around the world such as the recent earthquake that rocked Japan.

Also, prayers for the untimely lost souls and damaged by these sets of catastrophes. Nobody wants to hear or witness such happenings.

However, in the world where everything is a cockpit-like warfare called sports, the main catfight seems interesting.

WWE's Hell In A Cell may not be scheduled in the exact Halloween evening, but certainly was a perfect treat for such.

What’s the reason to say not to? You got two cage fights, and a fitting character in The Undertaker? Plus, kinda ironic in the set-up... the city of Los Angeles (that's a good introduction, Michael Cole!).

Without any further ado, let’s get down to business.

The Scene Around: The Last Revolver Gig Part 2

11/7/2015 3:10:21 PM

As of this writing I am about to write new entries. 

Well, not really “new” since I have tons of backlogs on my list as a blogger. Sure, I did numerous commentaries, features, rantings, and even writing about the events I personally attended. Especially when we’re talking about music scene or specifically, gigs.

Upcoming: #VPARTYSERIES MIDNIGHT MYSTERIES: CAN YOU SURVIVE?

Manila, October 29, 2015— Mark your calendars for November 7, 2015 and get ready for the ultimate Halloween event of the year! FOX International Channels and Victoria Court are partnering up with Breakout Philippines, the country’s premiere escape room game, to bring you an immersive horror experience like no other!

NOT A Holiday

11/1/2015 12:43:58 PM

Punyeta. Ang daming maling bagay na nagiging tama sa panahon na ito. At hindi lang ito usapin ng lohika na ginagamit ng mga tao sa panahon ngayon.

Ano ang tinutukoy ko? Ito lang naman.

Pasensya na, mga pare. Pero hindi po holiday ang ika-2 ng Nobyembre, taong kasalukuyan.

Nakakalokang lipunang ito. Puno ng bunganga’t panay reklamo ang laman. 

Oo, wala sanang masama sa pagbubunganga kung gaano kamiserable ang mga bagay-bagay sa ating bansa. 

Parang kung gaano ba kapangit ang serbisyo ng ilang ahensya; kung gaano tayo pinaghihintay sa pila na diaig pa ang mala-forver na pagmamahalan sa mga paborito nating tetleserye’t pelikula. Kung gaano tayo nababagot sa pakikipagtalo kung may forever o wala, habang naisastuck sa trapiko sa EDSA at alinmang pangunahing kalsada. Kung bakit ang bababaw ng mga panukalang ipinapasa sa kongreso (kung tutuusin, kasingbabaw nga lang yan ng kwentong pinapanood natin e) At higit sa lahat, kung bakit ang mga nuknukan nang kakupalan at kaungasan ang nakaupo sa pamahalaan na naglilingkod dapat sa ating mga mamamyan.

Ayos sana ang pagrereklamo natin e. Ito nga lang ang mas malala: ilan naman sa atin ay may ugali na hindi naman natin dapat ginagawang parte ng ating kaugalian. Nagrereklamo tayo sa pagiging malambot ng otoridad pero hindi naman sumusunod sa batas? Nagrereklamo tayo kung bakit baha inaabot natin sa tuwing sumasapit ang tag-ulan samantalang tayo naman ay nagtatapon ng basura sa mga estero?

Nagrereklamo tayo kung bakit tiwali at incompetent ang mga nakaupo samanatalang hindi naman tayo bumoto?

At nagrereklamo tayo ng extension sa deadline samantalang hindi natin pinapansin ang voter’s registration program ng Commission of Election (COMELEC) nung nagsimula ito noong 2014?

Why o Why???

Ang daming nabadtrip. Matutuwa na sana sila e. Makikialam na sana sila sa darating na halalan sa May 2016.

Kaso may problema: ayaw ng tao ang partner niya. As in yung kasama niya para sa ticket niya bilang pangulo. Yung bise-presidente ba.

Bakit ganun?

It’s that wonderful time of the year for the blogging industry again, as When in Manila unveils the another edition of the business-to-blogger event called Blogapalooza.

Fashion is so Elite

11/2/2014 1:56:04 PM

Fashion is for elite. Parang romance: so mainstream, o pwede ring so high school.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko naiwika ito. Siguro dahil isa rin sa mga realization ko sa buhay ay mas okay na ang simpleng manamit. At maswerte ka na lang kung mas anagat ka sa mga maykaya . Dahil malamang, may kakayahan kang bumili ng mga damit mo. At kahit makipagtalo ka pa at sabihing “may ukay-ukay naman ah. Pati surplus.” Hindi lahat ay madiskarte sa ganun, kahit gustuhin man ng bawat isa sa atin.

Ayan. Nasaktan na naman kayo. Disappointed. Galit na para bang hiniwalayan kayo ng syota, o nabasted ng nililigawan, o nasabihan na “ hanggang magkaibigan lang tayo.”

At bakit nga naman hindi? Umaasa kasi kayo sa mga binibitiwang salita eh.

Alam niyo naman ang mundo ng pulitika dito sa Pilipinas. Kung hindi puno ng kasinungalingan, lipunan naman ito ng mga taong “walang isang salita.” Hindi ganun katigas ang paninindigan.

Playback: Autotelic – We Are Autotelic (album)

There are times where all I wanna do is to shut up and listen to a variety of music. And in case I liked them, I do put my several takes on it.

And rarely—if not none—I made some words of appreciation on albums. But for now, since Autotelic is celebrating its success for over three years in the independent music scene, might as well have do a review on their album.
