Point Click Kill

The history of Point Click Kill is probably as mixed and mangled as the style of their music is. Hailing from the great city of Iloilo, this quartet saw its beginnings burst out of musical genres that range from and include reggae, ska, rapcore, Latin and Industrial flavors. It’s difficult to imagine but one dose of their music and one will start to understand how this mixing is even possible. Point Click Kill has made it easier for their audience to absorb their music by describing it simply as Raga-Core, a combination of reggae (which is particularly a dominant genre they are from) and Hardcore "sometimes-bordering-on-Death" Metal.

This combination spiced with Jazz flavors and angry lyrics that single out the taboo issues of today’s country, PCK delivers their music with clenched fists. The band formed after Dem Catacutan and Duhwain Catacutan (brothers) landed in Iloilo after some serious bumming in Dumaguete. They collaborated with Darwin Ardales before actually absorbing him into the group as their lead guitarist. It was at this point that Dem (who was the lead guitarist at the time) took the duties as the bassist of the band. In 2002, the band composed a couple of songs and joined a competition although they were still nameless at this point. Their first drummer quit the band a few months after. Their only other choice was to pull in the youngest of the Catacutan clan, Nino, who at first was hesitant but willing.

Trudging forward with original songs in their arsenal, PCK showed just how different they really were from the rest. After sending out a demo, it caught the attention of Cebu’s Lighter Records. The demo they had sent was recorded in their living room. Rumor has it that in the demo, one can hear a tricycle passing by or chickens crowing in the background. At this time, Urbandub was to play Iloilo for the 2nd time. Impressed and equally shocked, Dub specifically requested Point Click Kill to front for them in Iloilo. Since then, the band has recorded and released a full-length, self-titled album under Lighter Records. It includes their hit singles "Ariba" and "Ska Linti", both tracks which have gained notorious attention over the NU107 airwaves.

The band had gained so much attention, in fact, that they had been invited to tour around Manila and to play at the prestigious Pulp Summer Slam 2006, an annual concert that receives an audience of at least 30,000 rock-heads and metal-freaks (exactly the kind of people that PCK loves to play for). Today, the band is taking things in stride, by selling CDs the independent way through gigs and specialty shops and organizing home court gigs that help them spread their music as well as the music of bands that play at their gigs for sadly there are no radio stations in Iloilo that will play their unsafe tunes (except for the amateur and ballsy CRES 104.1). More plans include nationwide distribution of their CD, video shoots and interviews as well as various tours with bands from Manila and with their label mates Urbandub, Faspitch, Still and The Ambassadors.

Pacquiao wins in eighth round over De La Hoya

LAS VEGAS (AP)—Manny Pacquiao fought a lot bigger than he looked. Oscar De La Hoya simply looked old.
Pacquiao dominated his bigger and more famous opponent from the opening bell Saturday night, giving De La Hoya a beating and closing his left eye before De La Hoya declined to come out of his corner after the eighth round.
The fight was so lopsided and De La Hoya looked so inept that it could spell the end for boxing’s richest and most marketable star.
It was only the second time in De La Hoya’s 16-year pro career that he was stopped in a fight, and it was made even more shocking because it came at the hands of a fighter who fought at just 129 pounds months earlier. At the age of 35 he seemed not only well beyond his prime, but unable to offer any answer to the punches that Pacquiao was landing almost at will.
De La Hoya’s left eye was closed shut as he sat on his stool after the eighth round and the ring doctor, referee and his cornermen discussed his condition. De La Hoya offered no complaints when his corner decided he had enough, getting up from his stool and walking to the center of the ring to congratulate the victor.

“You’re still my idol,” Pacquiao told him.
“No, you’re my idol,” De La Hoya said.
Two of the three ringside judges scored all eight rounds for Pacquiao, while a third gave De La Hoya only the first round. The Associated Press scored every round for the winner.
The fight was lopsided from the beginning, with Pacquiao landing punch after punch while De La Hoya chased after him, trying to catch him with a big punch. Pacquiao was winning big even before the seventh round, when he was pounding De La Hoya against the ropes in his corner and catching him with huge shots that knocked him across the ring.
De La Hoya remained upright, but with one eye closed and his reflexes seemingly gone there was no chance he was going to land the big punches he would have needed to turn the fight around. Ringside statistics showed Pacquiao landed 45 power punches in the seventh round to just four for De La Hoya.
“He’s just a great fighter,” De La Hoya said. “I have nothing bad to say about him. He prepared like a true champion.”
Pacquiao came up two weight classes to fight for his biggest purse ever, while De La Hoya dropped down to meet him at 147 pounds. Though De La Hoya towered over Pacquiao and had a big reach advantage over him, Pacquiao had no trouble getting inside what few jabs De La Hoya threw to land his shots.
“We knew we had him after the first round,” Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach said. “He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot.”
Roach trained De La Hoya in his last big fight a year ago and said De La Hoya simply couldn’t throw punches when he needed in that fight. That was magnified even more against Pacquiao, who not only was as elusive as Floyd Mayweather Jr. but threw punches back that kept De La Hoya off pace.
“Freddie, you’re right,” De La Hoya told the trainer after the fight. “I just don’t have it anymore.”
If De La Hoya’s career is over, it will be the end of a remarkable story that began when he won the Olympic gold medal in Barcelona in 1992 and went on to become the biggest box office attraction in the sport. But while he sold tickets, De La Hoya hadn’t won a big fight in six years, and there were whispers long before the fight that he had nothing left.
De La Hoya not only dropped down to fight for the first time at 147 pounds in seven years, but actually came into the ring unofficially weighing less than Pacquiao. Both fighters got on scales in their dressing rooms and De La Hoya was 147 while Pacquiao was 148 and a half.

Ngaa Haw?

Ini nga palamangkutanon iya ni Jose nga nagapabilin na lang sa amon palamatin-an.  Palamangkutanon indi tungod sa malala niya nga balatian (leukemia), kundi bilang sabat kon hambalan namon sia nga indi ka sini kay malain sa imo.  Subong sang isa ka bata nga inosente masabat lang ina siya, ngaa haw? Nahibal-an man niya nga may balatian siya apang wala kami makabati nga namangkot siya, – ngaa ako?  Kon kaisa makasiling lang ina sia, kakapoy ah.

 Sang wala pa sia magmasakit, mapagsik sia, palahambal, masami nagapamangkot (inquisitive) kag masinadyahon.  Madamo lang sing nahibal-an, ilabi na gid sa computer. Palangga gid sia katama sang iya ginikanan kag mga utod.  Bilang agot, sia gid ang “favorite” sang familia.  Kon kaisa makasiling kita nga kanugon, bata pa sia madamo pa kuntani ang iya mga potentials nga wala pa matukib.  

 Si Ginoong Jesus mapinalanggaon man sa mga bata. Isa sadto ka kahigayunan ginpamangkot Sia, “Sin-o bala ang labing daku sa  Ginharian sa Langit?”  Gintawag ni Jesus ang isa ka diutay nga bata kag ginpatindog sia sa ila atubangan, kag nagsiling, “Dumduma ninyo ini!  Kon indi kamo magbaylo kag manginkaangay sa magamay nga mga kabataan, indi gid kamo makasulod sa Ginharian sang Langit.  Gani ang nagapaubos sang iya kaugalinon kag manginkaangay sining diutay nga bata, amo ang labing daku sa Ginharian sang Langit.” (  )

 Paano kita mangin bata kasubong ni Jose?  Madamo ang nakaobservar nga si Jose daw tigulang kuno kon  maghambal.  Kon kaisa may hambal ina sia nga matingala ka lang kon diin niya ginkuha ang ideya sang iya ginahambal. 

 Sa sini nga punto sundon naton ang halimbawa ni Jose, ang iya simple nga gawi. Kon nangin uslitan man sia ina tungod bata sia.  Kay kon indi sia uslitan indi na sia bata.  Kita aton matuod nga nagagulang na apang ara man gihapon  sa aton ang pagka bata-bata  (immaturity and childishness).  Amo ini ang dapat kuhaon sa aton kaugalingon, ang pagka bata-bata.  Amo ini ang  buot silingon ni Ginuong Jesus sa Iya paghambal nga ang mga bata amo ang labing daku sa Ginharian sang Langit, sanglit sila inosente, may pagpaubos kag simple.  Silingon mo lang ang bata nga “very good” happy na sia, it is because children still have a direct connection between head and heart.

 Sang sa ospital pa si Jose nga critical ang iya condition, wala gid magbiya si Anton kag Lalaine sa iya.  Sang ulihi ginhutikan sia ni Anton, “Toto, palangga ka gid namon ni Mama mo kag imo mga utod, apang may ara nga sobra gid ang pagpalangga Niya sa imo, si Lord.” 

 Si Jose nakalampuwas na.  Kon si Anton pa, nakagraduate na.  He came out triumphant over death and now he is with the Lord.  Kita iya, ano?  Madamo pa kita sing mga baggages nga dapat idiskarga.  Ang mga aligotgot ukon sakit sang balatyagon, ang mga gumontang nga nagatublag sa aton kon sa diin tungod sa paghinabon sini nga mga baggage nagtubo ang bugal ukon huya sa aton.  Amo ini ang nangin upang o sablag sa aton agod mangin matinlo ang aton tagipusuoon, mangin malipayon kag mangin mahidaiton sa Dios kag sa tao.    Ang mga bata iya, katulad ni Jose may simple conviction sa ila kaugalingon, gani sang paghutik ni Papa niya nga palangga ka namon, apang mas palangga ka gid ni Lord, wala na sing madamo nga resistance sa iya bahin.  Nagpiyong lang siya sang iya mga mata kag mahidaiton nga nagtaliwan.

Is this Pope John Paul II waving from beyond the grave? Vatican TV director says yes

Burned into the memory: The image that appeared in the bonfire, Tending his flock: Pope John Paul II at an audience in 2001 (right)

This fiery figure is being hailed as Pope John Paul II making an appearance beyond the grave.
The image, said by believers to show the Holy Father with his right hand raised in blessing, was spotted during a ceremony in Poland to mark the second anniversary of his death.
Details appeared on the Vatican News Service, a TV station in Rome which specialises in religious news broadcasts.
Service director Jarek Cielecki, a Polish priest and close friend of John Paul II, travelled to Poland after hearing an onlooker had photographed the image.
Father Cielecki said he was convinced the picture showed the former pontiff.
"You can see the image of a person in the flames and I think it is the servant of God, Pope John Paul II," he said.
The pictures were being broadcast continuously on Italian TV and also posted on religious websites, some of which crashed as thousands logged on to see for themselves the eerie figure formed by the flames.
The bonfire was lit during a service at Beskid Zywiecki, close to John Paul's birthplace at Katowice, southern Poland, on April 2 - the second anniversary of his death.
Hundreds had attended the ceremony. Gregorz Lukasik, the Polish man who took the photographs, said: "It was only afterwards when I got home and looked at the pictures that I realised I had something.
"I showed them to my brother and sister and they, like me, were convinced the flames had formed the image of Pope John Paul II.
"I was so happy with the picture that I showed it to our local bishop who said that Pope John Paul had made many pilgrimages during his life and he was still making them in death."

Defense of the Ancients

Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA) is a custom scenario for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing games, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.
The scenario was developed with the "World Editor" of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and was updated upon the release of the Warcraft expansion The Frozen Throne. There have been many variations of the original concept; currently, the most popular is DotA Allstars,which has been maintained by several authors during development.

CIDADE DE DEUS


If one of the moral responsibilities of the movies is to put you in places where you'd never go and live lives you'd never live, then "City of God" is great moviemaking. This one admits no other moral responsibilities. It merely gazes pitilessly at the real, and maybe that reality is too hard to take. It offers scant optimism to policymakers of any stripe. It advises liberals that social programs are pointless when applied to the violent vitality of the streets, and it advises conservatives that stern bromides about responsibility are as ineffective against the will to violence as a fistful of feathers. It says man is dark and doomed and stupid. But it also says he's alive and kicking and magnificent.
