PlayBack: SUD X Words Anonymous - SKIN

4/4/2016 10:17:34 PM

It’s rare to find a worthy collective of two art pieces: music and spoken word poetry. That is something that fans of both worlds should get, the collaboration album of SUD and Words Anonymous.

In this album titled SKIN we will find the convergence of poetry done in recording serving as an accompaniment to the works of Sud Ballecer and his the soul-jazz-alternative group.

As of this writing, tomorrow will be another celebration for awesome music—well, in both physical and spiritual forms—as Satchmi will be holding their Vinyl Day tomorrow, 30 April 2016 at UP Town Center.

But on this edition of Flashback Friday, let's go back to 2015 where the vinyl store held their annual edition of Viny Day held Saturday the 11th of April at the Amphitheater of Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

Gone Too Soon: The Early Curtain Calls of 2016

04/28/2016 11:56:34 AM

It is sad that we've been hampered by the passing of numerous people whom we highly regard as legends, from local directors to selected music personalities. Heck, we all knew the Master Showman finally took a rest after being restless for decades.

Walang Tulugan” no more.

Take It... Off?!

04/27/2016 05:53:47 PM 

Isa sa mga usapan sa social media ang tila nakakapanginit nga naman ng ulo. Teka, kailangan mong ipatanggal ang baller ng isa dalawang nars habang nagtatrabaho sila?

Bakit, para saan? Dahil hindi mo trip ang kandidato? Dahil ba unethical tignan? Dahul isa siyang unhygenic na kilusan sa loob ng isang mala-sagradong lugar gaya ng opsital?

O baka naman nauurat ka lang talaga na makita ang mga tao na suot ang anumang parapernalya ng isang presidentiable na hindi mo na nga trip, kalaban pa ng manok mo. Ganun ba?

Seems this past WrestleMania signaled an era where things have changed in both gradual and abrupt manners. 

Well, the main event had the most predictable and boring finish we had ever seen. In the other end, we also saw Shane McMahon eventually taking over the Authority’s helm thanks to the rallying crowd behind him against Vince McMahon.

All that despite losing to The Undertaker, the a-must stipulation to do so.

Wanted (for Election): PRESIDENT Of The PHILIPPINES

04/12/2016 04:38:37 PM


Masyado nang maraming baho. Masyado nang maraming sinasabi. Masyado nang maraming pamantayan sa pagpilipilian kung sino ba ang dapat mamuno sa susunod na anim na taon.

Ang tanong: una, sino ba ang ilalagay mo sa balota? At bakit sila? At dyan nagsisimula ang isang mahabang usapan na madalas ay nauuwi pa sa samalimuot na katapusan.

The Ranks: PiliPinas Debates 2016

04/25/2016 05:34:42 PM

So we have seen enough. Four televised debates for the 2016 General Elections were staged—three of them were intended for the Presidential candidates, while the remaining one is for the vice-presidential slate.

That being said, every single one of us news-savvy citizens tend to criticize the output by whatever means possible.

And honestly, some of you may not agree with me, but here is my final ranking on which show sucked big time, and which debate stood out the most?

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: PiliPinas Debates 2016 - Part 2

4/23/2016 9:16:19 PM

Interaksyon
Isang buwan rin ang pagitan ng mga ginaganap na presidential debate na inorganisa ng Commission of Elections (COMELEC), ano? Parang kailan lang, nasa Cagayan De Oro sila sa pagsisimula ng debate-seryeng ito. Samantalang parang kailan lang din ay nasa Cebu sila para sa ikalawang leg nito.

Sa darating na Linggo ng hapon, kung pagbabasehan ay ang oras ng aking pagsulat nito, ay gaganapin ang huling PiliPinas presidential debate sa Dagupan, Pangasinan.

Pero bago ang lahat, ano nga bang nangyari sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa Cebu?

The Scene Around: Set Us On Fire

4/23/2016 3:29:31 PM

As of writing time, Words Anonymous will celebrate their second anniversary by holding a program at the PETA Theater tonight.

Meantime, six weeks ago, yours truly along with my partner Maxim and her friend stormed by SPLICE cafe to watch one of their gigs called Set Us On Fire. 

StopOver: Angono Lakeside Park

Sometimes, you don’t have to go a hundred or thousand miles away from Manila to see places which are truly beautiful and worth the effort. All you need is to traverse the roads at the nearby provinces, look around, and when you get there, simply appreciate them.

Such as this case when yours truly along with my partner Maxim, stormed by the near-eastern side of Rizal province and witness the beauty of Laguna de Bay at the Lakeside Park.

Noong nakaraang linggo, nagkaroon ng ganito.

Hanep sa trip e no? Sinakyan na lamang ng Ace Hardware ang isang kalokohan. Tila swerte na rin sa publicity ang taga-branch nito sa SM City Lucena. Bakit nga naman hindi, eh nagtrend kaya sa social media ang naturang event.

Malanding Political Fantard Problem: FO na!

04/21/2016 10:25:23 AM

Ito ang panahon ng eleksyon. Panahon para makialam ka sa lipunan kahit minsan lamang sa mahabang panahon. Panahon para magkaroon ka ng paninindigan. Panahon para alamin, tuklaisin, kilatisin, busisiin ang nararapat na maihalal bilang representante ng ating lipunan.

At maaring panahon ito ng pagkakaroon ng hidwaan sa paniniwala o perspektibo pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na panahon rin ito para awayin mo ang hindi sumasang-ayon sa iyo.
