Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX – Step-Ladder To Supremacy

5/22/2014 1:57:41 AM


Daniel Bryan and Triple H collided in a step-ladder match en route to a triple threat battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on WrestleMania 30 last April.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Extreme Rules 2014

5/21/2014 8:31:25 AM

Everything just went extreme during that first Sunday of May 2014, as the World Wrestling Entertainment unleashed their latest edition of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event held May 4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford.


And over that three-hour stretch, I can only come with few takes regarding the matter, but too bad the Wee-LC match between El Torrito and Hornswoggle was not shown on air though. I can only manage to catch-up via their highlights aired during the evening. On the shallow aspect, it was indeed entertaining.

Wild Western Dominance

5/24/2014 2:48:29 AM

Let’s face it, fans. The Western Conference teams owned the NBA right now. And I’m not talking about money here; but rather, wins, or overall performance, and playoff and even championship competencies.

Huli Kayo, Balbon!

5/5/2014 8:30:42 AM

So may bagong balita na raw sa kanila, ano? Nahuli na raw si Cedric Lee, pati yung isa sa nga kasama nilang si Zimmer Raz noong isang lingo habang patakas kuno sa Samar.

At ilang araw matapos ang "nagbabagang balita" na yun, ay sumuko naman sa Camp Crame si Deniece Cornejo. 

Eh kaso, ano naman ngayon?

Mag-rehistro Din Pag May Time

5/24/2014 5:47:53 AM

Isa sa mga pinaka-karapatan nating mga Pilipino ang bumoto, o maghalal ng isang tao na karapat-dapat na maging representante natin sa pamahalaan (dahil isa tayong malayang lipunan, este, demoratikong republika), at ito ay naisasagawa sa pamamgitan ng mga elesyon, o sa ibang termino sa kaparehong wika ay halalan.

Kaya naman kamakailanlang, noong simula ng buwan na ito ay inulunsad muli ng Commission of Elections ang registration para sa darating na 2016 Presidential Elections.

Pabiling VIP Ticket!

5/23/2014 6:06:50 PM

Isa sa mga naglalagablab na headlines nitong nakaraang Biyernes ay ang pagiging mabenta ng mga VIP tickets ng konsyerto ng European boy band na One Direction sa ating bansa sa susunod na taon.

Oo, sa sobrang mabenta niya, marami na namang umalma dahil naubusan sila. Partida, nagpa-morningnan pa sila.

Rematch!

5/24/2014 1:34:03 AM

As far as the series is concern, several foes faced each other yet again in the Conference Finals. It’s Miami versus Indiana at the East Finals; while on the West, it’s Oklahoma versus San Antonio once again since ’12.
But before Miami rolled to even their series against Indiana (as of time of writing), how these two fared up against each other for the second straight year?

Don’t Mess With Media

5/21/2014 4:09:51 PM

Isa yan sa mga pinakamagigiting na makakalaban mo sa buhay. Isa yan sa pinakamatitindi. Sila ang nagseset ng trend sa ating lipunan. Sila ang nagkunundisyon ng utak ng bawat taong nanunood, nakikinig at nagbabasa (unless kung totally abstain ka sa kanila at piniling maging hipster).

Oo, ang tinagurian nilang fourth estate – ang media.

Sa Sobrang Init Ngayon…

5/22/2014 7:32:15 AM

Ang init nga naman, ano? Abot singit, ika nga ng isang pauso linya noon.

Pero, grabe lang. As in napapamura ka na lang ng malutong sa pagkainis mo. As in “Putangina naman! ANG INIT!!!!” Siyempre, nagiging intense ka rin.

Hindi makakaila na iba na talaga ang panahon noong sa panahon ngayon. Parang nung ilang summer lang ang nakalipas ay hindi naman ganito kasukdulan ang nararamdaman mong init di ‘ba?

Ang init! Sobra!

Libel: To Decriminalize Or Not To Decriminalize?

5/15/2014 7:42:43 AM

Sa panahon ngayon na malaya tayo magsalita, isang bagay ang kikitil sa ating karapatan: ang libel. Pero paano nga ba sumagi sa isipan ng mga tao sa social media at blogging ang usaping ito? Mula lang naman noong ipinasa ang Republic Act 10175, o mas kilala bilang Cybercrime Prevention act of 2012.

Oh eh ano naman kung may libel?

Sala Sa Init, Sala Sa Lamig

5/15/2014 7:11:36 AM

Isa sa mga kalbaryo na kadalasan nating pinapasan ay ang klima. O kung hindi mo ma-gets, temperatura.

Aminin man natin o hindi, lagi tayong nagrereklamo pagdating sa mga panahon. Hindi tayo nasa-satisfy. Pag dumatin ang malalamig na buwan, katulad na lamang ng Disyembre, Enero at ultimong Pebrero, nagrereklamo tayo sa paglamig.

Nag-Away Na Naman Sila! Eh Ano Ngayon?

5/15/2014 8:08:37 AM

Hay naku. Nag-away na naman for the nth time ang Barretto sisters. And as usual, pinink-up naman ito ng national television.

Kaso… ang tanong: e ano ngayon?

Playback: Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake – Love Never Felt So Good

5/18/2014 11:52:55 AM

Okay, I am not writing a lengthy post here, since I’m running out of time and reserving the other write-ups in due time.

I have been listening to FM radio lately, as my relaxing resort due to my pre-employment stage; when suddenly, this track apparently popped out of my radio set.


Yes, how about the late King of Pop and one of the pop music’s new elite icon on collaboration, aye?

Thrilling Finish

09/05/2014 12:54:32 AM


There are five first round match-ups that culminated into game 7 on the NBA playoffs recently.


Well, what’s new? Definitely, a lot!

Climbing The Datum Origin

5/15/2014 8:24:26 AM

As yours truly, along with several friends, reached the island of Marinduque for the first time (in my lifetime), we are supposedly boarding a trip to the town known as Torrijos later that day.

Until a sudden change of plan went on, and early in that Friday morning, we hiked up on that mountain known as Datum Origin.

Lookback: FlipTop's Ahon

5/15/2014 6:54:18 AM

Since it’s already four years since this one was held at Guerilla Radio in Pasig City, let’s take a trip back to memory lane.

Let me guess: FlipTop’s Ahon was the biggest event (if not one of the biggest events) the Makati-based rap battle league has ever organized. They started in mid-February 2010 with the gracing event known as Grain Assault.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: The Racist Owner

5/13/2014 3:07:28 AM

So nalagay na naman sa alanganin ang National Basketball Association (NBA) matapos ang kontrobersyal na remark mula kay Donald Sterling, ha? Siya lang naman, na nagmamay-ari ng Los Angeles Clippers, ang nagbitaw ng isang “racist” na statement ukol sa mga “black people,” o sa madaling sabi, maiitim.

Paano nga ba siya na-ban sa NBA at pinagmulta ng tumataginting na 2.5 million dollars?

Ang Mahiwagang Listahan

5/13/2014 7:04:09 AM

(Speaking of which, as of time na pinublish ko ito ay lumabas ang kontrobersyal na listahan.)

Ang mahiwagang listahan. Bow.

(Photo credits: Christian Esguerra/Twitter)
Pero hindi ito tula, ni hindi isang episode ng paborito kong palabas na anime na si Doraemon, kundi isa itong tirada (malamang! Dahil ano pa bang aasahan n’yo sa akin, ‘di ba?). Mula sa mga spekulasyon ng posibleng pagiging state witness daw, ngayon ay may listahan na siya. Aba, daig pa nya ang mga tindero at tindera, ano?

National Problem: Internet Connection (v. 2.0)

09/05/2014 12:45:23 AM

Ang Pilipinas ay ang bansa na may pinakamabagal na internet connection sa buong rehiyon ng Timog Silangang Asya.

Pero, ano naman bago sa mga ito? Masyadong bang evident para pag-usapan ito?

Playback: Kongos - Come With Me Now

09/05/2014 1:05:29 AM

Since everyone seems to indulged on boy bands once again like One Direction, the Vamps, and any other else… (say, does 1975 counts?) well, I’d prefer to listen to this all-boy alternative band (at least, not a very typical bullshit known as “mainstream pop”) named Kongos.

And to be frank? Yeah, WWE Extreme Rules brought me here.

The Scene Around: SYNC Music + Tech 2014

5/5/2014 8:09:30 AM

On April 27, musicians and music enthusiasts alike were treated by SPINNR indie to their event called SYNC: Music + Tech held during that hot Saturday afternoon at the Black Market in Makati City.

Yes, it was scorching hot that walking along the streets of Pasong Tamo for a second might cause you terrible sickness within the next few hours or so.

But that did not stop me anyway.

So I managed to register for the event itself, and braced myself for few hours of music and technology convergence.

Just My Opinion: Wrestemania XXX: Legacy Vs False Prophecy Round 1

5/5/2014 7:58:19 AM

So John Cena prevails, but another part of this plot will roll ‘til the Extreme Rules, eh? Some wrestling enthusiasts said their match with Bray Wyatt should have been the second best of the night.

And the flaws: They still lacked the much hype in compliance to their story line.

And maybe, I would agree with that.

State Witness? Seryoso??!

5/5/2014 8:52:34 AM

Maraming haka-haka na magiging state witness raw si Janet Lim-Napoles.

Ha? Seryoso?

Yan ay kung papayagan ni DOJ secretary Leila DeLima.

Isipin mo kasi, nag-confess ang fugitive businesswoman sa Justice secretary nung binisita siya nito noong nakaraang buwan. Aniya, dito niya dinetalye ang mga nalalalaman raw niya ukol sa PDAF scam. Pinangalanan din daw niya ang tatlong senador na sila…(teka, kailangan pa ba nating banggitin dito, eh usong-uso naman sa kamalayan natin ang tinatawag na ‘trail by publicity.’).

Pero, Napoles? Para magiging state witness? Tangina, nagpapatawa ka ba?

Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX: Breaking The Streak

5/5/2014 7:49:14 AM

(Yes, apparently, this is a very super duper late post) 


Who could have though the streak would come to an end…his way? Well, if you wonder and asked “what the hell am I taking about?” better check out this video.

Yes, of all the men who tried to stop Mark William Calaway, it was only Brock Lesnar who went successful in defeating him. After 22 years.

The Pre-Take: Extreme Rules

5/3/2014 10:29:10 PM

As much as everything goes stale for me in the pro wrestling world (specifically I haven’t even wrote my separate takes for the battles for this past Wrestlemania), here are my predictions for WWE Extreme Rules 2014:

Blockbuster Daw

5/3/2014 12:56:45 PM

Masyado na namang tumaas ang dugo ng marami nung may nasabi ang aleng ito sa kanyang panayam sa bidang aktor ng the Amazing Spiderman 2.

Ayon sa  panayam ni Kris Aquino kay Andrew Garfield, tinalo ng pelikulang My Little Bossings, na pinagbibidahan rin ng kanayang anak na si Bimby, ang pelkulang The Amazing Spiderman.

Wehh, teka nga!  Tama ba 'tong nabasa ko? Tinalo ng MLB ang Spiderman?

Yan ay kung sa highest first-day gross box office ang usapan. Ibig sabihin, kung pataasan lang naman ng kita ang usapan.

Ganun? Oo, ganun na ganun nga.

Lookback: Batch 2011

5/1/2014 7:44:45 PM

It’s been three years since this episode aired on Philippine television; and of course, yours truly, was one of those million (should I say) college graduates from batch 2011.

And since it’s Labor Day, and by coincidence... a Thursday (or should I say... #ThrowbackThursday), let’s take a trip back to 2011 and review this episode once again.
