So, worldwide screening na naman ng paborito mong palabas sa telebisyon, pati na rin yung mga pelikula na inaabangan mo after 12480921 years, at ultimo ang malalakihang sporting event na binobroadcast sa either TV o Internet.

Sana ay isa lamang itong hamak na panaginip, pero hindi eh. Ops, hindi ko tinutukoy ang hiwalayan niyong mag-jowa, ang pagkawala mo ng trabaho, ang pagkaburat mo sa buhay, ang pag-diagnose ng isang malalang sakit sa'yo, at kung anu-ano pa na maihahalintulad sa isang malagim na panaginip o bangungot.

Eh ano ang tinutukoy ko? Ang pag-bili lang naman ng Grab sa operasyon ng Uber sa Southeast Asia.

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 34 (Part 4)

04/08/2018  01:26:48 AM



WrestleMania 34 comprised of 13 matches, right? So that means we might not be seeing an impromptu John Cena's challenge to the Undertaker, right?

For the second year in a row, Alexa Bliss is walking in WrestleMania as a champion in WWE. But this time around, she will not face a  legitimate threat in Asuka as the Empress of Tomorrow picked another championship belt to battle at the Show of Shows.

Of course, the two battle royals and (sadly) the WWE Cruiserweight Championship is already slated at the kickoff show that might even start before sunrise here in Manila. With over 13 matches in the card, WrestleMania 34 is obviously expected to take more than a quarter-of-a-day long, with over five hours for the program itself. Kinda dragging, right?

After four years, the show of shows is back at the Big Easy and it looked like it didn't really fit well to us (seriously, can other cities be given a chance to host this huge wrestling event for goddamn sakes?).

Kada buhay ay may kwento paras a sarili. At sa panahon ngayon, kahit sino pwede nang gayahin si Bong Go (actually, may mga nauna pa nga sa kanya na tinaguriang “selfie king” eh). Simulan natin sa … malamang, simula.

PlayBack: IV of SPADES – Mundo

02/16/2018 10:09:23 AM



Every fan of this nostalgia-laced quartet knows they can make hugot-driven songs, too. And the hype for IV of Spades to release one of their popular songs Mundo has been that high since last year (heck, even toppling the groovy “Hey Barbara” and “Where Have You Been, My Disco?”). At least, they can make Filipino songs aside from “Ilaw sa Daan,” and thatr automatically merits a sure-ball for garnering a massive fanbase today.

But the question: did they lived to the skyrocketing expectations of many? It was probably a lukewarm response, to say the least.
