A recent article on Yahoo showed the Mall of Asia as one of the biggest shopping malls in the world! It’s amazing that even though our country is faced with so many problems we still all end up shopping like crazy. Hehe.
Congratulations to the SM Group of Companies! This is definitely something that they [...]

A barrage of complaints and suits were filed against the Philippine government by various members of the media this afternoon. They filed cases before the Makati Regional Trial Court.

First, let me apologize for not being able to post the past few days. I’ve been busy working on revising the layout of my online gaming blog, waukster dot com. The new format is now really kick ass and I can’t wait to apply the same layout here! Anyway, today’s topic is about EDSA II. [...]

It started with Arnel Pineda and his band (ZOO) posting their performances on Youtube. Call it a miracle if you will but a member of the band that they cover watches their performance online and books him for an audition. What happens next? Arnel Pineda is now the lead singer of Journey, the band the [...]

When was the last time you saw Former President Estrada so happy? Multi-awarded Actor, Mayor, Senator, Vice President, President, Convicted Plunderer, Pardoned, and now a free man with full political and civil rights. He has a lot of reasons to be if you ask me.

Let me think out loud for a bit. Since Trillanes took Manila Pen hostage, the words “Press Freedom” have become very popular. Remember how the media forgot that a senator bolted out of his hearing and decided to start a millitary uprising? The hot issue became how the government treated the press. This could have [...]

What is it with our Congressmen? I really can’t believe sometimes how “makapal” they are. It’s already an established fact that politicians take kickbacks from their projects. This is even more evident for Congressmen and Senators who have access to Pork Barrel. If you guys ready the newspaper yesterday, the House of Representatives is pushing [...]

With so many names being floated as candidates lately, it seems like everyone is really gunning for the top two posts in the Philippines. Just recently, another name was added to the list: Batangas Governor Vilma Santos. If you think about it, she’s actually a strong contender especially if no good name comes up as [...]

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano recently said in an interview that LAKAS-CMD is the likely target of poachers especially if they don’t get a good standard bearer for the 2010 Presidential Elections. With every day that passes, this becomes more evident. If you have been reading the broadsheets, there’s always an item for the past weeks [...]

Kamikazee’s frontman, Jay Contreras, beat almost 100 Chicksilogs in the latest episode of ABS-CBN’s top rating game show - 1 vs 100. Yes - you read that right. 2,000,000 pesos. I actually watched the episode last Saturday and it really looked like Jay was on an insane hot streak. His luck never ran out and [...]

Presidential hopeful Mar Roxas is reportedly considering Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero as his running mate in the 2010 Presidential Elections. Apparently this is the main reason why Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan is having issues with Mar as the standard bearer for the Liberal Party. He’d prefer that Mar runs with someone from the Liberal Party [...]

In a recent survey done by the SWS, De Castro and Villar both got very high ratings. Is this indicative of the 2010 elections? The answer is “No”. The survey was a performance-satisfaction rating and not a “Will I vote for you in 2010″ survey. De Castro had a satisfaction rating of +41 while Senate [...]

I realized one thing a few months ago after I’ve already spent almost all of the salary again on stuff that I really didn’t need… AGAIN. I don’t remember all my expenses, all I know is that the money is gone and I’m going to have to crawl ’till next payday. Sucks right? Oh hell [...]

Last November 30, 2007, I wrote about how I felt about Senator Bong Revilla’s entry to the MMFF - Resiklo. At that time, I just watched the trailer and I was really surprised at how good the visual effects were! Definitely a huge leap from the effects that we’ve seen in previous years. In turns [...]
