Wala na sigurong mas nakakaloka pa kesa makita ang insidenteng ito sa Facebook kahapon. Actually, mas matindi pa siguro kung nasa Maynila ka pa siguro.


The Scene Around: Health Junkie X Not Your Ordinary Mum's Feature Writing Workshop

10/18/2016 02:37:38 PM

It was barely a year ago when I traveled to Alabang, Muntinlupa City for a writing workshop. Well, much to my surprise. One of the event organizers invited me to go there despite having some personal shenanigans earlier that day.

That was also my first time to travel to the southern part of the metro alone, as bloggers Health Junkie and Not Your Ordinary Mum teamed up to organize a workshop intended for feature writing, and it's all held inside the Hog's Breath Cafe in Festival Supermall, Alabang.

PlayBack: Rico Blanco - Wag Mong Aminin

10/07/2016 02:38:33 AM

It's raining day, you're getting emotional, and suddenly, you spotted this music video on YouTube.

Nothing but a classic product both by musician Rico Blanco and director RA Rivera. The veteran was on point from the main storytelling to its divisions – different scenes but depicting the same plotline – heartbreaks.

It was saddening that one of my favorite wrestlers in the WWE only stayed for 10 months; much to everyone's disdain.

The Rundown Slam: WWE No Mercy

10/15/2016 02:19:24 AM



It's kinda strange to see the order of how things took place at Sacramento, California, during the staging of the WWE's second Smackdown Live-exclusive pay-per-view event called WWE No Mercy. They kicked off with a main event and end the night with a supposedly-main event show but seemingly not enough to be tagged as one.

Pulling the Punches

I just want to put up a quick rundown on this fight, since one of my friends are apparently spoiling me out (just kidding, Gab!) during that online conversation we have last Sunday morning. And i'm talking about Michael Bisping going successful in his first title defense against Dan Henderson in UFC 204.

Go To Hell?!

As much as sinusuportahan ko ang administasyon ng presidente natin, kaso kailangan yata maghinay-hinay ang Kuya natin. Kailangang may magsa-ayos nito sa kanyang lipon sa communications office. (Sorry, Martin Andanar, ngunit kailangan mong maghigpit sa pananala ng impormasyon at pagbibigay nito sa madla.)

Message ng isa sa amin: “Slick,*3 other names withheld for their privacy* kailangan daw tayo magkita ni MommyJoyce sa 11, 3 pm.” Bagamat hindi ako naging matalak masyado sa pagrereply, nasa isip ko na “sige, puntahan ko nga ito.” Iyan ay sa kabila ng katotohanan na naubos na ang salapi ko sa kada paglalakad sa mga interview na inaapplyan kong trabaho.

Newsletter: Autotelic Releases Major Label Debut Album "Papunta Pabalik"

10/07/2016 10:02:30 AM


Author's note: From being a big-named band in the indie scene, Autotelic lived up both to their name and the expectations from their cult followers as the pop band is now poised to be the next big thing in the music industry after being signed by the major label MCA Music Inc.

And barely months later, Josh Villena and co., has been making waves in such a shorter-than-expected span of time. They released a new single Gising in the major platforms in July; weeks later, their music video has been launched and gained massive reception from the audience by making it to the Myx Daily Hit Chart (Pinoy Edition) and amassing the top spot at All Good Radio of Jam 88.3 later on.

And this past Saturday, 1 October 2016, Autotelic launched their album titled “Papunta Pabalik,” turning themselves from the what has been a indie and dance pop rock band into something they now called as “Iyak Sayaw.”

The Scene Around: Autotelic "Papunta Pabalik" Album Launch

10/06/2016 03:07:26 PM


Almost two years ago, when I first hear them live in a gig at Route 196, I already had made a prophecy in mind. This band will be the next big thing in the pop music scene soon. (At least, if not right now.)

And with a music market and an anniversary gig happening around Makati City, these dudes will ne the standout for the evening. And why not? It's true enough.

It was a night to remember last Saturday at B-Side at The Collective as MCA Music presents the Autotelic's Papunta Pabalik album launch.
