Donaire-Juarez: The 2015 Brawl of the Year?!

12/13/2015 11:22:50 AM

While everyone was focusing more on the hyped fight between Jose Also and Connor McGregor for the UFC featherweight championship, yours truly on the other hand spotted a short clip about a boxing match happened yesterday (of Friday night in Latin America).

Gone In 13 Seconds

12/13/2015 2:39:15 PM

What can you do in 13 seconds? Cross a street, take a bite of a munchkin, run a hundred meters? Drink a can of beer or energy drink? Watch a vine or an Instagram-length video? A lot, right? 

But how about knocking down your opponent much faster than Ronda Rousey?

Yeah, like how far did that go from this...

Hyped For Fight

12/12/2015 6:08:14 PM

I’ve seen the clips of pre-fight confrontations a lot of times. Perhaps, Jose Aldo vs. Connor McGregor was considered almost one full-year in the making. The so-called biggest fight of the year was supposedly schedule July 10. But due to Aldo’s injury, the plan was shelved, at least. 

Five months later, it’s happening for real. And what makes this fight more interesting is the hype that’s more realistic than anyone who fought at the UFC. And hey, WWE creative peeps, this may not be the wrestling type you guys are handling, but this is how you establish a feud and hype them accordingly!

Indie music production group Docdef Productions has celebrated a milestone of organizing 100 gigs since their inception nearly three years ago (well, as I am writing this piece, it’s been already three years) by teaming up with Flow Hose Manila and establishing In D’ Flow.

PlayBack: Paranoid City – Cold Hearts

It’s December. Countdown’s literally dwindling by number. The holiday spirit is up. Everyone’s jolly. And wait a second: you’re... down? Heartbroken? She just dumped you, refrain from giving you a chance to be his girl, and even threw your present that costs a thousand bucks?

Well, it’s fine. Life’s always been like that. Just don’t tell me you’re the newest member of the so-called Samahan ng mga Malalamig ang Pasko, please?

Sellout Daw?

12/8/2015 9:29:48 PM

Maraming naburyo nung pinili ni Ramon Bautista na endorsohin ang kandidato sa pagkapangulo na si Mar Roxas.

Anak ng pating? Pagkatapos niyang gawang katatawanan ang pagpi-fist bump ni Mar nun sa palabas nila sa Internet na KONTRABANDO? Ganun na lang yun?

Since I hardly get some sleep at this very minute, I end up having a bunch of "12:30 midnight realizations."

PlayBack: SUD – Sila (Music Video)

11/30/2015 9:03:37 PM

There are lots of wonders in this song the first I hear them live. But moreover, there is something magical on its music video. Forget the typical concept where musicians flaunt their stuff as if they are performing on a small gig or a big concert.

The Scene Around: Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo? Book Launch (2012)

11/30/2015 8:35:31 PM

Just last August (during Stanley Chi’s One Night Stan book-signing event), I remember having a short conversation with Ramon Bautista about his own share of book launches which actually happened at the same ground where we both are then-standing.

Looks like I still remember everything then.

Playback: In D' Flow | Mayonnaise – Jopay

11/30/2015 7:42:10 PM

I have been a fan of Mayonnaise since their mainstream days—especially during the mid-2000s boom of OPM rock. They had done it by creating a song out of their fandom for a Sexbomb girl, severe breakdown affairs, and a whole lot more anthems for over the course of time.

But at the recent gig by Docdef Productions called In D’ Flow, I only thought I would be wild as fuck during the sets of Jensen and the Flips, my current top favorite Autotelic, and other rock bands.

Just My Opinion: Kobe's Retirement

11/30/2015 7:26:43 PM

Before anything else, first and foremeost, I admit I am not a huge fan of Kobe Brayant. In fact there were times where I hated him first. But just like an ordinary human being whose always moved by a constant word called “change,” he earned my respect. There’s no question he;s one of the most prolific scorers this league ever had.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Disqualified!

12/1/2015 8:41:19 PM

So diskwalipikado na si Sen. Grace Poe na tumakbo sa halalang pampanguluhan nngayong Mayo 2016. Aba, unang pasabog yan sa huling buwan ng taon na ito ah. Masyadong maaga para sa Pasko, pero sa larangan ng pulitika ay nasa gitna pa lamang din ng digmaan para sa kagustuhan na maging pinuno ng bansa.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Womanizer Daw

11/30/2015 7:57:50 PM

Okay, umamin si Davao City mayor at ngayong tatakbong president sa 2016 elections na si Rodrigo Duterte na isa siayng babaero. Misogynist, o womanizer sa ibang terminolohiya.

Ngayon, ano na? Ano naman ngayon?

At the season of giving, a lot of organizations were doing charity works as part of the spirits of thanksgiving, which should be really exhibiting by each and every single human being who has that kind of heart and mind.
