Limang salita: Shut Up Na Lang Kayo. O may iba pang alternatibo: Shut Up Ka Na Lang. Mas matindi ang patama.

Isa sa mga pinakamatunog na soundbyte noong nakaraang eleksyon. Paano nga naman hindi ito magiging sikat, kung ang nagsalita naman nito ay isa sa mga pinagititiliang mga artista (well, pinagtitilian ng mga malalanding fangirl at mga isip-batang mga basta-basta nahuhumaling sa showbiz) na si Daniel Padilla.

Experiencing the MilesExperience (PlayBack: Miles Experience - Again & Against)


05/18/2016 10:48:41 PM



The long wait is over, and I think this one just came at the right timing. They already released three singles, had made two music videos – with one of them at least successful in penetrating the mainstream shores despite not being a chart-topper in the music countdown.

It's about time the World Wrestling Entertainment go extreme and it still never goes out of style since it's still the month of May anyway.

After switching dates and places with Payback, WWE will be staging the most ruthless and the most aggressive of them all, Extreme Rules; and it's all happening at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this Sunday evening (Monday morning Manila time).

An Asylum Match?!

05/18/2016 05:56:44 PM

We all know what's gonna happens next Sunday, even if they appeared like an unconfirmed rumor: Dean Ambrose will face Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules.

And just when we though we will have two extreme rules matches at the event itself come Sunday night, we were wrong. At first I was disappointed, considering Ambrose headlining the poster of ER.

But hey, after seeing the clip from WWE Raw via YouTube, I could only utter two words: What's this? Oh sorry, make it five—what on earth is this?

Malamang, kung may mga tao na balik na sa pagtangkilik sa kani-kanilang mga kababawan, ay mayroon rin namang mga tao na hindi makamove on sa eleksyon.

Flick Review: Captain America: Civil War

Huffington Post
Captain America: Civil War proved few things: superheroes will always be humans behind those powerful weapons. They have egos, and they will fight for that, too. They also failed and was supposed to be more responsible with their actions as swore on their private roles.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

05/18/2016 05:17:41 PM


As of writing time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a 1-0 lead by dispatching Toronto Raptors, 115-84.

Honestly, I don't see much point on why I should get my hands on this match-up. Like seriously—setting my fandom aside—we are about to see Cleveland-Golden State Warriors for the second straight time, right? Like how the Celtics-Lakers have went on during 80s, as well as Bulls-Jazz in 1997 and 1998, and the Heat-San Antonio feud in 2013 and 2014.

The Scene Around: Banna Harbera Persistence EP Launch

05/14/2016 09:08:31 PM



I have said this before, even if it already happened: We just had back-to-back album launches for the last two days of April 2016. While MilesExperience just had their biggest gig, the night before (29 April) served as Banna Harbera's launch of their second EP titled Persistence.

Beast Mode Prank?!

05/16/2016 01:36:46 PM

Pumutok na naman ang pangalan ni Baron Geisler. Hindi dahil sa magaling siyang aktor, pero dahil sa —malamang—may gulo diumano itong pinuntirya.

Ayon sa post ng isang estudyanteng si Khalil Verzosa, nag-beast mode si Geisler matapos ang pagkadelay ng proyektong gagawin nila Aniya, di naibigay sa oras ang script sa kanya. Bagamat apologetic si Verzosa, sa pangyayari, nabadtrip na talaga ang naturang artista na naaktuhang sinisigawan siya. Di nakuntento? Ayun, hineadlock pa.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Western Conference Finals

05/16/2016 10:20:10 AM

NBA
Say, I have been missing a lot on the world of basketball. It's like the last time I have written a prediction on the ongoing NBA playoffs was barely three years ago. And now, here we go to the conference finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder was on the verge of winning their first crown since 70s (as Seattle Supersonics), and plots on tasking revenge against LeBron James in the 2012 NBA Finals.

But they have a gigantic task to deal—that is to dethrone the current NBA Champions Golden State Warriors, whom are seeking back-to-back titles for the first time in franchise history.

Electoral Aftermath (Back to Reality)

05/14/2016 10:20:51 AM

O, ayan, tapos na ang araw na kinapananabikan natin. Minsan laang mangyari sa tatlo at anim na taon ito, kaya sino ba naman ang hindi makapagpiligil na bumira mula sa kanilang hanging-lamang isip at bugso ng damdamin, 'di ba? 

Tapos na ang araw kung saan bawat isa sa atin (as long as rehistrado tayo para sa proseso na ito) ay pipili ng ihahalal natin sa pamahalaan. Tapos na ang panahon na halos bawat sin sa atin ay may sey sa isyu ng pamumulitika sa bansa. Tapos na rin ang panahon na pumanig tayo sa kung sinu-sino na para bang dating slogan ng PBA. (Sa'n ka? Kampihan na!)

In short, tapos na ang eleksyon.

Ngayon, ano na?! Tapos na rin ba talaga tayo na para bang relasyong romansa espesyal o summer love? Or summer job?
