Thundering On The Brink of Elimination

05/25/2016 06:48:10 PM 

The Golden State Warriors lost two straight games for the first time this season, eh?

Anyone thought it was a big deal, don't you? Well, yeah, it could really be a big deal since this time around—the defending champions ended up trailing 3-1 in their best-of-7 series for the Western Conference Championship; and also the right to represent the conference in the upcoming NBA Finals.


Wait, how on earth did that happen?

WWE Back in Manila?!

05/25/2016 09:02:10 AM

So, how true that after quite a long while, the World Wrestling Entertainment will hit by the country once again?

If you remember the RAW and Survivor Series tour in 2006, the SmackDown & ECW pit stop in 2009, and even those old tours in Cuneta Astrodome and Cebu in the past decades, then you might not miss to see the new breed of superstars at Mall of Asia Arena.

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.

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.

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

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.
