Tang(ing) Ina (Na)naman, Oh!(Lol). I know that it’s pretty much over, and I should’ve done it last week, but I wanna go see some Metro Manila Film Fest (MMFF) movies. They’re probably gonna suck, but my expectations are not high. And hey, I’m trying to be more positive this year, I’m thinking here’s a great way to start: Philippine Cinema. Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat is another installment to the Star Cinema comedy hit Ang Tanging Ina sometime ago. This time around, Ina, played by Ai-Ai de las Alas, is accidentally thrust Continue reading
LIJSTJES BESTE MUZIEKALBUMS 2008Inderdaad, het valt nog niet mee een albumlijstje met een voldaan gevoel in elkaar te schuiven. Hoe bepaal je in hemelsnaam de onderlinge rangorde tussen bijvoorbeeld Portishead en De Kift? Sommige inzenders stuurden in plaats van een lijstje een reden voor het ontbreken van een lijstje. Een genodigde bleek in 2008 voornamelijk naar oude jazz te hebben geluisterd; een schrijver te San Francisco zag het maken van zijn lijstje op het laatste moment gedwarsboomd door de geboorte van zijn tweede kin Continue reading
…and then another two movie sequelsI had my hair cut on the New Year’s Eve just to go with the flow. Incidentally, another friend was available at that time so we met at the very accessible mall in the north to, what else, watch another movie. This time we caught ‘Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat.’ I initially wanted ‘Deperadas 2’ but I figured out that the theme of that movie would be suitable for the person I would meet the next day.I was able to catch the first instalment of this family comedy and even watched the TV version so I Continue reading
Top of 2008, aka Great Music for a Shitty Year.basically, 2008 sucked. personally, nationally, politically, internationally, economically....shit's been life-sucking and wholly lackluster, two exceptions being (1) the excitement and hope that came out of the november 4 results, and (2) my old-woman attempts at "Punk Rock Summer," recreating the carefree teen years with some quality results.anyway. . . despite the crapass year, a whole crop of excellent records have been released to tide my ears and head and heart over until the start of a ne Continue reading
The 100 Songs I Was Quite Fond of in the Year 2008.Good evening. Although I have left this blog dormant during the second half of 2008, I still continued to take in the sounds of our favorite artists new and old. I have spent the better part of this month attempting to place them in some meaningful order, which is mostly a waste of time. I love all of these songs like a parent loves their children. I however, do not happen to like children. If I had children I would probably love the songs on this list more than them. Here are my 100 favorit Continue reading

Albums in the year 2008 As with last year, this is not intended to be in any way final. It’s just a list of what I consider my favourites from the year at this point near the end of 2008. No different from any other list, then, but at least I admit its state of flux. So, whether they would make it or not, the following albums are disqualified: Portishead’s 3, Asva’s What You Don't Know is Frontier, the Koushik, Burning Star Core, Skullflower, Ascend, Fennesz, Krallice and other stuff I’ve not listened to enough times.

Karylle on rumor linking her with Jericho Rosales: “Walang special something.” September this year nang magsimulang mapabalita na nagkakalabuan ang sina Karylle at Dingdong Dantes. Two months after, noong November, ay kinumpirma ng dalawa ang breakup nila pagkatapos ng tatlong taon. Sa kabila ng pagkakaugnay ni Dingdong sa kaparehang si Marian Rivera, hindi na-link si Karylle sa kahit na sinong ibang lalake. Pero nagulat na lang ang lahat nang lumabas ang balita na nagkapalitan daw ng cell phone numbers sina Karylle at Jericho Rosales nang magkita sila sa ASAP ‘08. Ang Continue reading
Jericho Rosales relates how he spent his Christmas Photo Courtesy of Joseph Ong (Flickr) Nakausap si Jericho Rosales ilang minuto bago ang awards night ng 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival na ginanap sa Harbor Garden Tent ng Sofitel Hotel noong December 27. Si Jericho ang isa sa matunog na pangalan for Best Actor para sa pagganap niya sa Baler. Siya raw at si Christopher de Leon ang mahigpit na magkalaban. Ngunit sa huli, si Christopher ang nag-uwi ng tropeyo para sa pagganap niya sa Magkaibigan. Inamin ni Jericho na ipinagdasal niyang mana Continue reading
Bad Left Hook’s Top 20 Fights of 2008 I don’t profess to having seen every fight, but I try to see every major fight (at least) that’s available live, and I try to catch big overseas fights, and if someone says a fight was good, I sure try to track it down and get a copy of it. This list is not definitive, nor am I trying to present it as such. It’s really just for fun and discussion, as every list like this is. There’s no accounting for taste. Without further ado, here’s the Bad Left Hook 20 for 2008. 20. Chris Arreola v. Travi Continue reading
Jericho Rosales Is Courting Karylle We have yet to confirm rumors about the possible courtship of Jericho Rosales to the newest Kapamilya star, Karylle. Seems like Jericho has already found his replacement for Heart Evangelista. Sources say that Jericho was really excited and happy when he got Karylle’s number from her mom, Zsa Zsa Padilla. From the moment he got her number, he was in constant communication with the young singer. In all fairness to Karylle, she looks very desirable and really easy to fall in love with. She has Continue reading
Hakuna Maitta: The ten best submissions of 2008 Tap, nap or snap. Unlike the knockout, where you can end a fight with one lucky punch, there is no such thing as a lucky submission. In a world where a few select men aspire to enter a ring of violence, submission fighting is a gentleman’s sport. Intelligence, guile, patience - all of the attributes that make for a great chess player - are also found in today’s ground tacticians. Only in chess, you don’t have someone punching you in the face as you plot your next move. Since the 1993 debut Continue reading

Valde HonorandusThis morning I served Mass at Carmel again, and afterward went to confession at Church of the Apostles. Having prayed St Stephen's Office, to-day I've now begun St John's; and, remembering that his feast is the Feast of Priests - for was not St John his chosen apostle in a special way beloved of Christ, and the priest and chaplain of Our Lady, making him par excellence priest of Jesus and Mary? - I again congratulate and pause to pray for Fr Mannes Tellis, O.P., ordained only eight days ago thi Continue reading
