Hindi ako isang masugid na tagahanga ng bandang ito. Sa totoo nga ay nung high school lang ako natutong making sa kanila. Partida, hindi tumutugtog ang Chiksilog sa isatsyon ng radyo na pinapakinggan ko, at bata pa ang YouTube kaya hindi pa ganun kahinang ang kalidad ng mga lumalabas na video nun. (Well, kasabay lamang ng pag-usbong ng mga DSL nun.)

The #iBlog11 Experience (Part 1)

12/13/2015 1:51:02 PM

It’s that time of the year once again. After a year and a half—including a six-month wait after a sudden shift on schedule—iBlog is back on a bigger venue and more talks.

First stop was actually the first time in iBlog11 where they will have a forum about the rise of fashion and beauty blogs here in the country. Liz Lanuzo, Diego Buenaflor, and Tolian Gjika shared insights about the beauty blogging in the Philippines and how do bloggers deal with the notable PR firms in the industry.

The Scene Around: The Rest is Noise 8

12/8/2015 8:21:51 PM

I wasn’t supposed to head on to Route 196 during that Saturday evening due to massive stress I have been with in life (and also, a sudden financial constraint), but I have to talk to PULP Managing Editor Cris Ramos and return the albums of WOMB and GENERATION. We agreed on the same date.

The Scene Around: Bloggys 2015

12/12/2015 7:51:44 PM

This year, ESSAYS.PH established an event which gave prestigious honors to the blogging industry here in the country. And it took place 21 November 2015 at the SMX Convention Center in SM Aura, Taguig.

The Scene Around: Coffee Barn Sessions 2

12/8/2015 7:58:34 PM

Two months ago, The Coffee Barn celebrated their second anniversary with a bang as Gabi Na Naman Productions and Vandals On The Wall teamed up to set their second installment of Coffee Barn Sessions.

The show was an instant star-packed by paper; and for barely five hours of live music, Coffee Barn Session delivered as promised with Kai Honasan gracing the evening with her share of tunes—both cover and original.

CURSES!

Anong meron sa isyung ito: nagmura si Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

Okay, una: Patama raw ito laban kay Pope Francis. At pangalawa: nung bumira ito ng “putangina,” humiyaw ang tao.

Ows. Talaga, ‘di nga? 

Not So Gentle

12/12/2015 4:43:11 PM

Sa totoo lang, hindi ako nainiwala sa diwa ng salitang ‘chivalry.’ Ngunit alam ko na buhay na buhay ito, at hindi mamamatay sa adbiyento ng pakikidigma sa ekwalidad ng mga gender, sa panahon na moderno na ang paligid, at sa panahon na mas sibilisado na ang kilos ng sangkatauhan.

Streak's Over

12/13/2015 12:16:40 PM

For over the past few days, my attention has been caught by the Golden State Warriors. No wonder why they are the present NBA Champions. No wonder why they had a very impressive run for the past season and at present (well, so far).

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! 

The Scene Around: In D' Flow

12/12/2015 11:50:01 AM

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

12/8/2015 8:57:44 PM 

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."
