Playback: CHEATS (ALBUM)

1/10/2016 2:02:06 PM

Long before I get acquainted into their music. All I then-knew was CHEATS was one of the reasons why the Philippine music here in the country was very much alive. And I’m not talking about how wild their usual sets are. Also, forget the stereotyping of mainstream and underground thingamajigs.

Last July, they formally launched their self-titled album at SaGuijo. And fair enough, nearly half of their released singles became part of the record. 

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: 2015 MMFF Edition (Part 2)

12/28/2015 2:46:44 AM

Disqualified ang Honor Thy Father mula sa Best Picture award sa ika-41 na Metro Manila Film Festival.

Alam ko, nabanggit ko na ito sa previous na Tirada Ni SlickMaster ukol sa 2015 MMFF. Pero mukhang naging masalimuot ang proseso ng pagkakadiskwalipika nito.

Okay, another Vice Ganda movie. Obviously, another sure-fire hit in the box office; but moreover, another garbage in the eyes of movie geeks and critics.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Drive Pa More!

1/10/2016 2:22:16 PM

Isang siklista ang namatay matapos gulungan ng isang trak sa Marikina city. Yan ang isa sa mga balitang gumulantang sa lipunan sa simula ng bagong taon, maliban sa mga isyu ng naputukan at nalalapit na eleksyon.

Hindi nga lang yan isang trak e. Isang trak na pagmamay-ari ng gobyerno. Aray ko po. Mantakin mo ang mga mas dapat na nangunguna sa pagsunod sa batas gaya ng mga sasasakyang pang-gobyerno ay ang siya pang pasaway?

Ayan. Deads tuloy si ate na naghatid lamang ng kanyang bunsong anak sa pinapasukan nitong paaralan.

Sumakabilang buhay si German Moreno noong nakaraang araw ng Biyernes, alas-3:20 ng madaling araw. Ayon ito sa kanyang pamangkin na si John Nite.

Good Fight, Ugly Decision-Making?!

I saw the main event of UFC 195 last week. It’s been a very long while since the last time I have seen a very good fight at the MMA world.

Perhaps, a good fight; but with a ‘disgusting’ result. A split decision was awarded to Robbie Lawler; thus making his title defense successful once again despite his opponent Carlos Condit (the fourth contender for their division) dominating on majority of the fight.

Seems the Star Cinema-Antonette Jadaone experiment turned out so well for the romcom scene, eh? Perhaps, it was since her project with then-Cinema One Original That Thing Called Tadhana days.

One vs. All

As far as the live tweets of WWE Monday Night RAW is concerned, Roman Reigns faced Sheamus with Mr. Vince McMahon as the match referee. Obviously this created buzzing stirs among wrestling fans, even if we all know it’s scripted as fuck.

The #iBlog11 Experience (Part 2)

1/2/2016 11:01:02 AM

Saturday, 5th of December. I just had a brief nap from attending an EP launch. And prior to that, I had a new edition of my identity EAT SLEEP RANT REPEAT T-shirt, and moreover, attended the first day of the 11th Philippine Blogging Summit held at the Penthouse Bocobo Hall, UP College of Law in Quezon City.

Walang Forever may appear to be another hellish romance movie with comedy and dramatic portions lying somewhere in between. But with the advent of the popular term called #hugot (or angst)in the emotional Filipinos, it’s quite more easy to stereotype Walang Forever; considering a lot of people arguing whether the F word really exists or not, especially at the context of romantic relationships.

Weeknights to Remember: SlickMaster's Memorable Gigs of 2015 (Part 1)

12/31/2015 3:00:36 PM

The post was supposed to be named Fridays and Saturday Nights to Remember only to realized a few things: first, gigs are happening every single weeknight; second, most of them aren’t even planned by yours truly to attend; and third, I have been to almost 70 gigs for 2015.

2015 has been a heck of a good year for me as I discovered Philippine music anew -- and it broods at the place where minority of people knows -- the independent scene. Over the course of time, I attended about 50 events starting from a random night out that happened 24 January 2015 at Route 196. I was then supposed to watch my college friend whose already a musician.

PlayBack: Autotelic – Gising

12/13/2015 10:59:24 AM (Updated 07/18/2016 08:28:24 PM)

It seems for every single song that Autotelic performed on stage, there’s always this kind of vibe that made me either document them or just sing-along and dance to the tune, or do both.

Perhaps of all the movies who made noise for 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival, it was the current most popular fanbase who stood out the most. And who else can forget about Eat Bulaga’s prized kalyeserye duo of AlDub when GMA Films along with M-ZET Productions, APT Entertainment, Octo Arts Films and MEDA Productions teamed up to produce My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore through the direction of Jose Javier Reyes?
