Eraserheads Concert Cut Short - Ely Hospitalized!

The highly anticipated Eraserheads reunion concert was cut short in the middle after lead vocalist Ely Buendia collapsed backstage during a 15 minute intermission break. Apparently the stress was too much for Ely after he lost his mother recently and his rehearsal for the concert which last up to 3AM. I’m sure all the fans [...]

“Tagalized” With You & Umbrella

These songs left me speechless.
With You Tagalized

Umbrella (Tagalized)

Billions to be spent in 2010 for Campaign Funds?

This is in response to a recent article published on Inquirer.Net about how politicians overspent in the 2007 Senatorial Elections for their media campaigns. This was pointed out by election watchdog group called Pera’t Pulitika. Apparently they got their data from a credible source - AC Nielsen, one of the premiere research agencies in the [...]

When was the last time you cried?

When was the last time you cried? This maybe something regularly discussed by women but I’m sure that men don’t really talk about this much. Anyway, for the first time in a long while I found myself in tears today and it wasn’t about anything sad. It was a really humbling experience that I think [...]

Do the Youth still know Ninoy Aquino?

Does the Filipino youth still know who Ninoy Aquino is? Or is he just a face that they see on the P500 peso bill? With all the problems that we face these days as well as the great digital divide between generations, it’s not hard to imagine young men and women more consumed by the [...]

Mikey Arroyo: Cha-cha after 2010 Elections

Here’s something interesting. Pampanga Congressman Mikey Arroyo, son of PGMA, is all for Charter Change. However, he’s only for it if it will happen after the 2010 Presidential elections. According to him, there is really no intention or hidden agenda to extend the term of her mother. However, we’ve already seen broken promises before. Remember [...]

Contributing Writer for Filipino Voices

I just got an e-mail from Nick, the EIC of Filipino Voices. I was confirmed as a contributing writer! Wooo! I’m really thrilled about this since I’ve been following that blog/web magazine for quite some time now. Oh by the way, don’t worry since I will still be regularly updating this blog as well as [...]

Moymoypalaby - Marimar

Brilliant. Amazing. Insane. 3 words to describe this video by one of the most famous Filipino Youtube personalities out there - Moymoypalaboy.

Aquino Family Rumble

Two senators from the bloodline of Ninoy Aquino are going against the old saying that “Blood is thicker than water”. It started off with Noynoy Aquino releasing a statement that he’s very disappointed that the country hasn’t moved forward since former President Marcos was removed from office. Instead of progress, our country has been on [...]

57 Year-Old Grandma Call Center Agent

Just like love - age doesn’t matter for call centers. LOL. One of e-Telecare’s star agents is actually a 57 Year old grandmother named Patricia Salvant. She lived in the US for 20 years and when she came back to the Philippines, she decided to go for a rather late career in the call center [...]

The Real Alex Compton

Every Sunday I go to Victory Christian Fellowship over at the Music Museum in Greenhills. This week, the speaker was former basketball MVP Alex Compton. Initially I was a bit worried since I didn’t have a clue as to what a basketball player had to say about spirituality. However, I was really floored after hearing [...]

Francis Magalona ill with Leukemia

Singer, Actor, and Producer Francis Magalona confirmed that he’s ill with Leukemia a few days ago. It’s really sad things like this happen because it’s a brutal truth that will forever haunt human life - we are all prone to sickness regardless of our job, color, build, or education. The best we can do is [...]

CBCP: Cha cha after 2010

The CBCP, led by Archbishop Lagdameo, renewed their opposition against Charter Change before 2010. This is exactly my sentiments as I explained in my previous post. The timing is just too fishy and it really looks like PGMA and her gang are up to no good. Let’s do Cha-cha when we have a new President [...]

You rock, you rule

‘Nuff said. XD

PGMA Planning To Extend her Term

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has finally revealed the true motive behind the Bangsamoro GRP-MILF deal that her administration has been pursuing secretly for the past few months. The main reason? It’s to lay down a precedent to an eventual move to amend the Philippine Constitution to change the form of government into Federalism. While I am [...]
