Pilipino Rockstars

The Pilipino Rockstar , The greatest job a man can have. Girls , cash , booze and music all at the same time wouldn't be too much to handle right? well as we see these rockstars , we see them as great celebrities who make huge fortunes by selling their used paper towels on crazy auctions. These rockstars become Gods before our eyes , reach their climax, vocalist becomes a solo artist thinking he's super great and stuff , and fade away . . here are some great examples of rockstars and used to be rockstars and how they live their lives.






1) Ely Buendia

Ely Buendia , say that name and all I can think of is a great musician and "tudududuuu". Ely Buendia was a member of the ever great Eraserheads , vocals/guitar to be exact. this man is a living legend , he is known for having that true pinoy tone and dressing like a handsome homeless man. but just like any other great band , they broke up and just like any other vocalist , you go solo. but honestly guys , Ely's voice wass the soundtrack of the lives of the 90's teenage craze which makes him a super rad rockstar.


2) Bamboo

I mean c'mon , You know you're a rad rockstar when your named after a plant and win off that amazing haircut. kidding guys , I'm talking about bamboo , the original vocalist of the Band that molded Philippine Alternative music , Rivermaya. Unfortunately , they said that he was madly addicted to drugs that he left the band and sniffed from a plastic bag for his supper. After Rehab , He started a new band named after himself (man the members sure were happy) and played like the cure on steroids , THEY PLAYED AMAZING!! but then they broke up , Bamboo went solo , and judges "the voice" hmmmmmmmmmmm.....


3) Rico Blanco

Man this list would never be complete without the ever so gorgeous Rick Blank , Rico Blanco was the Second Vocalist of Rivermaya , which was still kicking ass back then. He popularized their tunes of love and Philippine pride through his beautiful Baritone voice. But then as expected , he left the band and now he plays knockoff Dubstep while wearing a silly hat.


4) Jamir Garcia

Jamir Garcia , The Man who can scream as rough as sandpaper and can fit three fingers through his ears. Jamir is the lead vocalist for the oldskool metal band "slapshock" which was email adress for years until I forgot the password and had to make a new account , Jamir is a rockstar , in body and heart , this guy is filled with tattoos and rings , wears a bandana around his head 24/7 , and has been producing music til now despite the new dawn of hip-hop and pop. the only thing I hate about this dude is he becomes the myx 3on3 mvp yet he never ever ever passes , I mean c'mon. . .


5) Daniel Padilla

Who is this kid?


6) Karl Roy

Karl Roy? Rock vocalist of Kapatid? HE WAS BORN TO BE A ROCKSTAR MAN LIKE AWHH , I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THIS GUY , HE'S GOT TATTOOS EVERYWHERE , HE PROBABLY HAS AROUND 434 EARRINGS , HE'S GOT EARRINGS ON HIS NIPPLES , NIPPLERINGS!!! KARL ROY IS A PINOY ROCK LEGEND PRODIGY GOD! r.i.p Karl Roy 1968-2012


7) Chito Miranda

Remember when I told you about rockstars getting girls? Well thats all Chito Miranda. This boy is the bomb , as the lead vocalist of the tuff bomb band "parokya ni edgar" the present him is considered to be pinoy rock royalty. Chito Miranda is so awesome of a rockstar , He fused two System of a Down Tracks , Change the lyrics into a song about a hungry guy pissed off by a restaurant fr having no food , while dressed up as WWE wrestlers .. and actually nailed it , Good Job Chito , Good Job.

8) Jay Contreras

 Whenever you see Jay Contreras Perform , He's either wearing his red plaid button up shirt , or he's wearing nothing at all. Jay Contreras is the Vocalist for the Totally rad band "Kamikazee". Jay is know for his great skills at screamo-ing and sexy dancing while on stage performing. He has got so many tattoos , that they give him the power to do flips while singing on stage with his band. Jay also supports marijuana legalization parties , No wonder He's always jolly and goofin around *wink*

These true to the heart rockers are just a tad of all of them all around the world , every corner. These rockers may not be a Kurt Cobain nor a Mick Jagger , They will always be homegrown and loved by the people of their hometown. We all know that the music Industry isn't that great today , but always remember , its Nothing Personalan.

Adik-Adikan sa DOTA

"AAHH!!!" "STUN DOO!!!" "SLOWHI UY!!!" "WA KUY MANA SH**!!"  . . . . . These are the battle screams you'll probably hear when you visit your local internet shop , It sounds like a prison riot but looks like a tea party right? Next thing you know , chairs will be thrown around with weak fists and icepicks. Well. . . isa lang ang sagot , DOTA. Internet cafes have made fortunes from school kids who wont buy their lunches anymore just for a game of DOTA. But how tough could it be to just say "I'll stop after this last game"? , Its as hard as watching a full episode of Kris TV , its haaard!!

Just about a few weeks ago , I knew nothing about Dota , well maybe a little this and that , but If I were to take a test about it back then , I would fail , and my friends would have been top-notchers. So there came a time that I began to think about giving it a shot , So I went to the Local internet shop , and as Usual it would still be full and you would have to wait in line , Pay 5 bucks for an hour , I mean how do they earn from this? I meet my friends , go a game , and lose to them as I expected. Leaving the shop , i really thought that would have been my last game since I didn't have a shot at it at all , but by the next day , my friends invited me to another game , This time , I was a tad little better than before , and we actually won the game . It felt great , and from that day on , I've been so attached to the game that all I think about is a new Item Build or a new strategy. Spending most of my daily allowance on Games with my friends that last for hours. man it's a very smart way to lure in students to quit school and use their education money for computer rentals , but at least its safer to be addicted to Dota than to be addicted to sniffing toilet cleaners or sumthing.




An Internet shop is nothing without Dota , unless your neighborhood is inhabited by little kids that play racing games and club penguin , then your Shop would be a ghost town. Back when I was young , computer shop rentals were hell high , I mean it was the dawn of emo friendster pics and happy tree friends. The Computer shops were small but people fight their way in to get a glimpse of a new 240p music video by My Chemical Romance that has been loading for 2 hours. Nowadays , computer shops are jam packed and hella fast , And the faster the connection , the better the gameplay , the more customers , the more young lives ruined by fictional ogres battling each other to the death. The more maganda ang future ng Pilipinas.


But seriously guys , Dota is a really fun game and it actually helps you with math and strategies ang blah blah blah. I'm not asking anyone to stop playing Dota , nor am I asking anyone to start playing Dota , But just put this in mind , its Nothing Personalan.

Ted's Guide to the third world.

The third world is a great place to be , the smell of smog , the long short trips , waking up to the sound of Booms early morning . That's just amazing. But before you can truly enjoy the third world , you will need someone to show you the basics of how everyday life in the third world is , from getting your wallet stolen to stepping on Spicy Used to be rice . Join me as we go through the strawberry fields of mayhem and easy money . . . Welcome to the third world.


First of all , you should get your stuff ready , and by stuff I mean "the less stuff , the better". the more stuff you bring along , the harder the time you'll have when your stuck in the traffic , riding your personal jeepney , which also the personal jeepney of 15 other people (originally 10 but who cares right? easy money) . The first place you should visit? Visit the Streets , A great place where cops wont file you for jaywalking for a free meal at the local Jolibee. Where people earn new cellphones everyday , how great. Shoes of all brands and kinds for 1/8 the price with the brands of Vons and Comverse. They sell a wide array of shirts and jeans for a very cheap price , these are in super great quality that they still have evidence tags and bloodstains on them. Levi Strauss Denims That fit an American Black Bear and someone buys it because its on sale for 20 bucks. Neon Baseball caps of teams you have never heard of. The streets are open for the kids too , they sell a lot of popular toys , the ones you see on local dubbed cartoons , from Ben 17 , Ranger Powers , and the ever popular Spider Bat Man Super , A toy that has so many powers , it looks like 3 toys , accidentally bonded because of a factory defect . . but naaahh. . it cant be. educational posters of the alphabet with a shot of Shaquille O'neal and Avril Lavigne. They sell Great food there to , the ever popular "fish" ball and "fish" tempura , the cheap or should I say budget friendly "pork" siomai that still meows when eaten. Finished of with the five peso soda "RC Cola" , I saved so much that If I eat like this everyday , I would be a millionaire .  . . . I would also have Hepatitis B and a Kidney Disease.


But is The Third world a Great Place for a Millionaire, Imagine the smell of an eight thousand pound dragon meat steak for your self every morning , Hearing your favorite tunes playing off your iPod 12 , Seeing your 432 tropical maids serve you a great breakfast , the same maids who gave you 432 back massages last night. wear a mirror shine suit while you ride your plane from Mandaue to Fuente. You sit around and watch TV and you only pretend to work when the Cameras arrive , have smart desperate college students do your actual work, take a handsome photo for your election poster , the election poster with 1 billion copies posted all around your neighborhood , get everyone to vote for you because you promised them free food. I mean you have cars named after fast animals and perfumes named after European male names. Elegance is your Middle name and your last name is also the last name of the previous 1,000 leaders. I mean you have Body guards that look like Batista , Shoes made from snake skin so fresh , it still hisses and glasses that make you look like a Sunny Day FPJ or Erap Estrada. You shop at a place where socks cost a fortune , your watch has too many diamonds , you cant tell time. and best of all , you're famous all over your town for doing nothing , isn't that great?! Jolly O!


The third world is what we make it , its all in your perspective , is it your paradise or your Disastrous playground , I think the third world is wonderful , But never ever believe in anything say , always remember , you'll always see me as a teenage kid with a little knicks and a lot of guts. but I'm really just a teenager who asked himself to write essays about what he sees and hears. but always remember , its NOTHING PERSONALAN :)
