Eraserheads Reunion Concert: Simply Unforgettable

Okay I was not able to watch the Eraserheads Reunion Concert but I believe it is a no-brainer to say that this concert is truly memorable, if not, historical. First, this reunion concert came out of nowhere, no one was really expecting that it would happen because of personal issues, then this concert was almost canceled due to thecontroversy surrounding the supposed major sponsor of this event (which was a cigarette company), the Department of Health reportedly announced that they will not allow the concert to happen because of that reason (good thing though a concert promoter who I suspect is a true e-heads fan came to the rescue), then came the sad news of Ely's mom's death days before the concert, but the concert still went on, although it was cut short because Ely was rushed to the hospital. Truly one dramatic event. And based on the Eraserheads Reunion Concert thread at PinoyExchange the fans really enjoyed the concert, too bad it was cut short due to an uncontrollable circumstance but they said it was worth it. Hopefully, there will be a part two, right?
And I hope if that happens, I could also be there.
The latest news that I've read is that Ely Buendia is in good condition right now. Thank God.
Get Well Soon. I hope he will have a speedy recovery. And I really hope and pray that there will be a PART 2.
The effect they have on people is truly amazing, just reading people's views on online forums you could really see how Eraserheads left a big impact to the Filipino people. Although I was too young during the peak of their popularity, I am still proud that I grew up being exposed with their songs. Simply unforgettable.

NGSB

I don't usually share this because well I'M SHY to talk about this but I need to let it out because I believe this a step towards change.
I'll be 21 in a few days but I never had a girlfriend nor dated/courted a girl.
What A Loser?
I know right haha.
It was by choice. Or at least unconsciously. I was too busy/pre-occupied with other stuff to deal with those romantic stuff haha. And honestly, I have yet to meet someone to sweet me off my feet (naks!) haha. I had crushes but never felt a strong feeling that would push me to pursue someone. Or maybe I was just scared
Plus I believe that she will come in the right time. I just have to be patient and let it run its course.
I admit I have fears and inhibitions about myself when it comes to romance but hopefully when the times comes I could get over those.
Okay..... I admit I am curious how it feels to love and be loved.
I need to end this post NOW. It's embarassing already haha.

There's No Third Option



Yes or No
Pass or Fail
Make or Break
Go On or Go Home
Step Forward or Step Back
Open or Close

There are no middle grounds
There's no room to play it safe
There is no neutral side

There are only two sides
And you will be part of just one
No compromises

Good Luck

Nostalgia Fit: Power Rangers

What I like about YouTube is that you could really find a lot of videos especially the old stuff. I was watching a YouTube clip of an episode of US show Felicity (love that one,but discuss with that matter some other time) when I read a comment saying that one of the actress there was Pink Ranger of Might Morphin Power Rangers and with that I Googled that to confirm it and that instantly led me to look back how I love watching that show when I was child. If I remember it right it was aired on ABS CBN every Friday nights haha, that show was very popular during my childhood. I watched similar shows before like Bioman, Maskman, Jetman etc but I was too young when it was popular and Power Rangers was the "in" thing when I was a kid. There are still Power Rangers spin offs produced like every year and still being aired up to today but I guess nothing beats the original, well at least for me. I wont say this show was a great one but definitely memorable. Here is the opening song of the show with the original cast (the green ranger is not included here since he was added later on the series. Moreover, the original red,yellow and black rangers left the show and were replaced by new characters taking over their responsibilities).



And here is a montage off all the openings of the show's three seasons. I don't remember the latter openings anymore because I stopped watching this show religiously . (I started to lost interest with this show when the original red, black and yellow rangers left).



PS:
I also found out that the actress who played the original Yellow Ranger died in a car accident in 2001 =(

Four Years




It has been five months since we graduated and went on our separate ways. Well, at least for most of them because I'm still here, still searching for my place in the world. I felt so at home with this people and I wonder if I will ever experience the kind of camaraderie we had.

It's Not Over

After the heart breaking loss of our Taekwondo Jin Toni Rivero today it already sealed up our chances of winning a gold or a medal for that matter. For the third straight Olympics our country will go home empty handed.
Well, technically we won medals: one gold and two bronzes for Wushu but that will not be counted in the medal tally since Wushu is just a demonstration sport. But congratulations anyway that is still an achievement.
I will not really blame our athletes they did their best. It just that, paraphrasing a song line, their best weren't good enough.
I'm sure there will be finger pointing because of this and the issue on how poor our sports program here in the country will be brought up as it has been the past years. But for how long will this be talked about, one to two weeks perhaps?
What we need is a sustainable development for our sports programs. But how could we achieve that? There is something wrong definitely with our sports programs here in our country. We need people who will not be just talks but will do something to improve our sports programs. I know it could not be done overnight but we have all the time in the world. We still have the time to fix it up since 2012 London Olympics is still far and I hope we would have greater chances on winning a medal by that time.
I'm not losing hope.

Flash

Campus 99.5 is now off air that started last Friday. It was a surprising development. As there were no hints that it will be gone again when I was listening to the Top 20 @ 12 last Thursday. It was business as usual. I've read in online forums that it was the management decision to reformat again and rumors say that the 99.5 RT will resurface again. Let's just wait and see.
Just sad. The resurrection of Campus Radio lasted for just five months.
***
The Philippines is still struggling in the 2008 Beijing Olympics while the rest of our Southeast Asian neighbors reaped medals already. It's really frustrating but there is still hope. Our Taekwondo Jins Toni Rivero and Tsomlee Go will compete on August 20.
I hope they could make it.

I'm now an uncle

My sister gave birth today to a bouncing baby boy. I'm so glad that my sister had a safe, normal delivery =) I'm so excited to see my nephew. My parents told me that I looked like him when I was born. Hahaha. His name will be John Kenneth Rodrigo and the nickname will be JohnRod. Yup a long name, the last name is named after my father. Welcome to the world, my nephew!
Thank you God that my sister and her son is safe and healthy.

The Return of Funny Komiks

Funny Komiks is back! I've blogged about here before my mini tribute on Funny Komiks (read it here) and how it had a special part on my childhood. Well, I got the surprise of my life when I was browsing a magazine stand earlier today. When I saw FUNNY KOMIKS, I thought it was a back issue but I was wrong it was a new issue, in fact it is the COMEBACK ISSUE 18 pesos is the price, not bad actually because the last time I bought FK (which was five years ago pa) it was 16 pesos. Infinito Publications is the new publisher (before it was Islas Filipinas then Solid Gold) and it will not be weekly anymore (as stated in the staff box) but twice a month. The comeback went back to the roots of FK, stories for children talaga which are simple and witty stories with high emphasis on values. During my last years of collecting FK, I felt that the comics lost its touch already. The features where they publish drawings of theri readers is still present as well as the trivia portion and the "It's Posing Time" where the pictures of submitted by its readers are published.Ellen Cabajar Kho is the editor who if I remember it right was also part of the FK team before.
I'm wishing that the return of FK will be successful, I learned a lot from FK when I was young and I know how "advanced" the world has become but we have to remember what used to be good which you might be surprised could still be essential in these times.

FUNNY KOMIKS

Four Eights

8 o'clock in the morning. 8th day of the 8th month of the year on the year 2008. Yes, 08.08.08.08. Will it be a lucky or unlucky day for me?
***
Earlier I was looking for the chance on an online coin flipping website. And the results were not favorable to me. I got paranoid. But then I thought I should not be affected by that stuff. Then after a few minutes I realized how lame I was.
I'm just so nervous.
Really

I hope this is it.

A Frasier Insight

The past two weeks, I've been staying up late because I'm watching the reruns of Frasier on Studio 23 which is aired around 12:30 am. I love the sitcom, yes this show skews an older audience but I love the wit of this show and it does not rely on physical/slapstick comedy. The humor is intelligent has a terrific script. Earlier, the rerun episode was the pilot or the first episode of that show, and it was awesome. It tells how Frasier adjusts with his new life at Seattle after a troubled past. I love the bottom line of the story there wherein it tells life might not go the way we plan it to but it can nevertheless work out anyway and that sometimes we mourn for the life we lived, a life that we envisioned yet it ended or did not work the way we hoped for but we should to let it go already because we could never move forward if we cling on to that memory. You could tell I could relate to that. A great show I rediscovered, thank goodness to reruns.

Pushing Daisies Season 2 Trailer

My favorite new US show last year will be finally back after 8 months of hiatus. Here is a teaser for the new season. I really miss Ned,Chuck, Olive, Emerson, Digby and the rest of the quirky world they live in. It only had nine episodes for its premiere season due to the recent Writers' Strike.I hope this season will be as good, if not better, compared to the first season. I really love this "forensic fairytale", the show just exudes something that will put you in a spell.
