Graduation Na! Eh Ano Ngayon?!

3/28/2014 11:47:19 AM

Sa parte ng isang magulang, wala nang sasaya pa kesa sa makita niya ang anak niyang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Oo, hindi ito makakaila – yan talaga ang isa sa mga pinakapangarap nila para sa ating lahat.

At ayan na, mamartsa ka na sa red carpet papunta sa entablado kaharap ang mga nakatataas sa pamantasan na minsan mo nang pinasukan, pinag-aralanan nang napakahabang panahon, tinakasan para magbulakbol, at palagiang binabayaran ng tuition.

Ayos, after four years sa kolehiyo, o 17 years overall (exception na nga lang sa panahon ngayon na may K+12 program, so kayo na bahala mag-adjust dun), ay graduate ka na.

Pero ang tanong... eh ano ngayon?

Bad Filipino Taste

Yan na naman tayo eh. Lumabas na naman ang pagiging balat-sibuyas nating mga Pinoy eh. Parang two years ago, nagngingit tayo sa galit sa isang foreigner na nagsabi ng mga bagay na ayaw niya sa Pilipinas.

Tapos, taong dos-mil-katorse na, may blogger lang na inayawan ang pagkain natin eh nagngitngit naman tayo sa galit.

Oo, nagalit tayo sa aleng ito.

Life Minus The Suit And Tie

Wait a minute, let me clarify this: it’s not about the Jay-Z and JT’s collaboration, huh?

I have to admit. I am not a fan of this one thing I’ll be calling as the ‘corporate world.’

Well, if you asked me why, don’t worry. I’ll tell you more about it.

#MRTBulok? Anong Bago?

‎03/‎25/‎2014 08:36:35 AM

Sira na naman ang MRT! Weh, ano pa bang bago sa balitang ito? Parang yung kasabihan na "same old shit" lang na nangyayari 'to sa araw-araw ah.

Sabagay, kung mapapansin kasi, sa nakalipas na ilang mga linggo at buwan ay lagi na rin nagiging laman ng balita ito. As in.

Ang masama lang, ay nasa bad limelight na naman sila. Ang saklap lang. Kung hindi may pasaherong nagpapakasagasa (ay naku naman, isa pa tong sira eh), may mga sigalot sa teknikalidad nito.

The Art of Dissing The MRT

Ayan na. May nagngitngit na sa galit.

Sino? Siya lang naman, na may pinost na selfie at may mala-plakard o fansign na remark. At ang mga salita ay napakasimple: “Gago kayo, MRT!”

Lookback: WrestleMania 29's Triple Main Event

3/15/2014 3:31:50 PM

It’s only few weeks before the wrestling’s biggest stage will take centerstage at the huge venue the Big Easy peeps known as the Superdome.

And much as I am expressing my dismay on my local TV channel for not airing the WWE’s flagship program RAW, the only thing I can do at the moment is to do a flashback review: and I am talking about the three huge main cards of the WWE WrestleMania 29 held at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey last year.

http://www.thewrestlingmania.com/

I remember, I used to be on the multi-tasking mode then when my ultimate-fave-but-now-defunct Studio 23 aired its Philippine telecast during that one fateful Wednesday night of April. I was working in front of my computer, and at the same time – was watching the 240-minute event (you do the math, please?) on my Cherry Mobile phone (yes, I’m proud to say that. U mad?). At that time, I was a team leader in my graveyard shift (10 p.m. – 6 a.m.) which did not really had much problem with me.

And what more can I say? Aside from those 80,676 patrons from East Rutherford whom witnessed this event, which is considered as the second largest all-time Wrestlemania event in terms of attendance?

But only three things really stuck my mind. What are those?

E-Libel Strikes Again!

2/22/2014 1:50:10 PM

(re-updated: 03/19/2014 5:03 PM - Ilang linggo na ang nakalipas ay nagbigay na ng hatol ang Supreme Court sa isyu ng Republic Act 10175 o ang Cybercrime Protection Act of 2012. Ilan sa mga probisyon ay dineklarang un-consitutional, samantalang ang ilan rin sa mga ito ay idineklarang 'constitutional,' kabilang na riyan ang kontrobersiyal na probisyon na nagsasaklaw sa online libel)

O ayan na. Nagdesisyon na.

At legal nga daw ang e-libel.

Kaso, ano na mangyayari? Marami bang masasawatang mga gago sa modernong lipunan?

LATE Two Minutes!

3/16/2014 2:32:27 PM

"Judging a man's character should be based on weighing his good and bad sides, AND CERTAINLY NOT on neatness and perfection."

 

Bago ang lahat... mali ba ang pamagat ko? Dapat ba ay 'Late BY or LATE FOR Two Minutes?' Actually, mas mali ka. Magbasa ka muna kasi bago ka mag-react kung bakit LATE ang nakalagay sa halip na 'LAST TWO MINUTES' (At P.S.: hindi ako coliseum barker sa PBA para sumigaw niyan).

May isang hindi magandang balita: hindi siya nakagraduate.

Siya ba? OO, siya nga.

Aba, wag kang magtatatawa d’yan. Akala mo ba nagpapakasarcastic o nangto-troll ako?

‘De seryosong usapan muna tayo.Ano nga ba kasi ang kasalanan ng nag-iisang Aldrin Jeff Cudia, ang first class cadet ng PMA at kabilang sana sa mga nagmartsa kaninang umaga sa Baguio bilang takda ng kanilang pagtatapos sa Philippine Military Academy?

Na-late lang daw kasi sa isang klase niya ng dalawang minuto.

Aba, leche? Two minutes lang siyang na-late? Na-dismiss kagad siya sa serbisyo?

Expanded Throwback Weekend

When old school library just expanded their franchise, just like Magic 89.9 did. Yes, the thing we know as "Saturday Slam" is now slamming to even greater heights, if we're taking about the timeline of hits here.

Flick Review: Bob Ong's ABNKKBSNPLAko?! the Movie

03/‎14/‎2014 12:32:47 AM

I can only express my insights on the movie adaptation of that Bob Ong book in two words: as both 'entertaining' and 'disappointment.'

I-Ban Ang Mga Teleserye!

3/13/2014 9:14:02 PM

May usap-usapan. Actually, hindi, naging balita na pala siya: isang mambabatas raw ay nagpapanukala na i-ban ang mga Koreanovela sa sirkulasyon ng Philippine television.

Teka, ano kamo? I-ban ang mga teleserye na mula sa Korea? Nung una tong pumutok noong nakaraang buwan ay napa-PM sa Facebook ang isang college friend ko sa kanyang pagkainis. Hindi naman siguro sa kangang pagiging K-Pop, ano, pero ano naman ang punto para i-ban ang mga teleserye na galing sa South Korea?

Unfavorable time slot daw sabi ni Buhay representative Lito Atienza. Sa paglipana raw kasi ng mga ‘to, nawawala na raw ang mga lokal na teleserye sa Pilipinas.

Ha? Weh? Di nga?

Feisty Returns

‎03/‎08/‎2014 08:31:12 AM

I wrote a piece similar to this a few months ago, only to have my cellphone get stolen. It's just good thing that I managed to recall the words there.

It's been three months since these two guys announced their return. And now, the universe is pounding on them as 'heels.'

It was during late December when both Brock Lesnar and Batista announced their comeback to the World Wrestling Entertainment, with the former preferring to do so in a much lesser hype, and much even distorted direction (he was also rumored to return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship). He first slated hat during the very last WWE Monday program of 2013.

The Scene Around: Ellen's Opening Branch at Ermita, Manila

Here’s what I spotted last month.

It was the near-end of January when I personally strolled around the Ermita area to witness the opening of the Ellen’s aesthetics branch there. See more photos below.

Scoring Bombs

Here's what we can describe to the week that was in the basketball world: bunch of scoring barrages (at least for the nth time).

Tapos Na Ang G2B, Eh Ano Ngayon?
