May Pokemon Go Na Sa Pinas! Eh Ano Ngayon?!

08/12/2016 08:09:51 PM

Sa wakas. Matapos ang ilang linggong alburoto sa Twitter at Facebook ng ilang mga Pinoy, ang Pokemon Go ay nasa Pilipinas na! Oo, matapos mabadtrip at pasimpleng download (na obviously ay APK) ng ilang hindi makapagpigil ay meron nang Pokemon Go na available sa ating bansa. (Well, maliban sa mga gumagamit yata ng Windows Phone.)

So ano na? Ano naman ngayon kung may Pokemon Go fever na sa Pilipinas, na sakto pa sa tag-ulan at mga nagbobombahang mga isyu sa bansa?

PlayBack: Maya's Anklet – Kung Alam Ko Lang

08/08/2016 03:32:41 PM

Definitely there is something deeper behind this music video. And we're not just talking about the music and letters here. But Maya's Anklet's “Kung Alam Ko Lang” exhibits the same alternative genre yet done in a bit different way – if you compare it to their EP years ago.

The Scene Around: 1983

The head curator of IndieManila celebrated her 33rd birthday on a party of her own, and it's called 1983, in honor of her birth year (so you don't have to do the math, right?). 

PlayBack: Autotelic – Gising (Music Video)

08/08/2016 10:57:03 AM

Pop rock band Autotelic looked like they hit the new starting chapter in their lives. Just two years ago, they had Kai Honasan as part of their lineup. The band also got recognition for being part of the top winners at the 2015 Jack Daniel's Philippines Indie Music Awards. And while on the process of making new recordings, Nemesis Music Group and MCA Music took this six-piece crew of musicians under their wing. Thus, making Autotelic part of NMG's roster of musicians and guaranteeing them more exposure in the music scene.

That speaks for a reason why I think this band as the next big thing in the music industry. 

And they are taking that one huge step when they published their first single Gising and released its music video half-a-week ago.

Saw the debut programs of WWE's RAW and SmackDown of the “new era.” While things are getting lagged behind due to broadcast problems (thanks, FOX!) I don't think we are far late to make a say about what's happening in the just-changed landscape of the World Wrestling Entertainment. (At least, in their storyline.)

While RAW pulled off a bunch of shockers to kick off the competition among the programs in WWE, SmackDown Live made surprises of their own: though the WWE Championship was renamed the WWE World Championship in response to RAW's Universal, the way the contenders were determined into a series of multi-man matches.

Classic Catfight

08/02/2016 02:13:01 PM

I might be a week late. But I have seen this for thrice, and this should better be part of the best matches of the year. Why Not because I said so, but we haven't seen the best catfight for months. Perhaps the last time was during their stint at NXT (as much as I wanna count the ladder match at NXT TakeOver: Respect, I personally haven't seen it yet).

The Rundown Slam: WWE Battleground 2016

08/01/16 11:24:38 PM

Before we know it, the WWE already unveiled their new era as SummerSlam approach. And that being said, the last PPV to be staged in the then-typical way was WWE Battleground. Still, no WWE stories came to an end without a bang on it; and by means, we have seen factions getting split (thanks to the WWE Draft happened five days before), and rivalries conclusion – and that includes the brotherhood's championship chase.

It was a night where The Wyatt Family and The Club were torn apart, where a destined to “fight forever” between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn should come into a halt, and where the former members of The SHIELD battled each other for who's the greatest member with that WWE Championship worn on his shoulder. It was also a night of decision on which McMahon will emerged at the top of the game.

And moreover, which brand will control the most prestigious title in the world of sports entertainment? Will it be RAW or SmackDown?

These questions were answered at the unveiling of the WWE Batlleground happened eight days ago at the Verizon Center in Washington DC.
