Pokemon X and Y : Launch Day Meet-Up

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The PKMN-ph Team, spearheaded by me, Ranger Paul (yeah, dropped my name there already) decided to create this Pokémon X and Y: Launch Day Meet-Up event (October 12, 2013, Saturday at 1 pm) in order to establish our community better by participating in this one global event in the franchise's history.

We are already listed at the Bulbanews Fan Launch Event Page so if that still doesn't make you proud, then I don't know what to do anymore.

However, we lack the manpower, the funds and the support of TPCi (or even DataBlitz) to start a Fan Launch Party that you guys have been expecting.

To be honest, we don't even know if a 5-man team can handle 90 members at the cramped-up CyberZone in Megamall all at the same time; let alone conduct a B/W tournament for all of us on Saturday.

Tears For Fears Music Night at Route 196

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everybody Wants to Rule the World! Who doesn't?

I guess that is why we love singing that song because it has a deeper interpretation aside from the catchy tune and the meaningful lyrics. Who doesn't know the singers behind that iconic song? Unless you were just born today, you've probably heard one of their famous songs already, and you have to admit that you would get the LSS (Last Song Syndrome) after hearing any of their songs, especially the chorus part.

The Tears for Fears are an English New Wave band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Their music has caught the attention of this Mad World and has continued (and will continue) to play their music for everyone's enjoyment.

I grew up with their music, and their MTVs, and I have to say that I appreciate their music very much!

Wazzup Pilipinas is happy to announce that we are a proud online media partner of the Generic Mamaw Presents Tears For Fears event happening this October 30 at Route 196. The Tears for Fears party starts at 10 pm until 2 am the following morning!!!!

Superbook Cartoon Series Now in Tagalog

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Muling balikan ang pakikipagsapalaran nila Chris at Joy kasama si Gizmo!"

I knew it was about to happen. I think it's every great cartoon's destiny to be dubbed in Tagalog to reach a wider audience in the Philippines. The message will be clearly understood by the masses if its spoken in the Filipino language.

Superbook is indeed a cartoon that is worth sharing to our countrymen because it evangelizes great moral values that will surely mold our kids to become better members of our society. The stories in the Superbook cartoon series promotes good conduct that is essential for our children to grow up as model citizens.

Be sure to get ready for another journey as we welcome another season in Superbook dubbed in Filipino. CBN Asia, producer of the long-running inspirational weeknight TV program, The 700 Club Asia, started broadcasting the most-loved Superbook Reimagined Season 1 in Tagalog last October 5, 2013 on GMA. With Superbook in Tagalog on TV, more children can share the excitement and relive the greatest adventures ever told!

Scarlett Johansson Named "Sexiest Woman Alive" for 2013

Wazzup Pilipinas!

After seven years of being named the "Sexiest Woman Alive", Scarlett Johansson has once again been chosen for the sexiest title by Esquire magazine.

Esquire magazine is a one-stop shop for lifestyle advice – cars, culture, grooming, gadgets, food, fashion and more – and a showcase for brilliant journalism and photography. Esquire is intelligent, irreverent and unapologetically masculine.

Scarlett Johansson was named Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" for 2013! This makes her the first woman to get the honor twice.

Scarlett, as beautiful and sexy as she is, is really quite common for many who are used to the blonde-next- door-neighbor beauties. She would not turn many a head on any street (where blonds are familiar) anywhere. I can never quite understand the view that the "world's sexiest" are American film stars. But I guess its what appeals to the readership. Check out Bollywood... or the natural beauties on any street in Italy or France or Czech Republic, or Ukraine or... even the Philippines!
