A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

A long in coming follow-up to A Survival Guide to a Pinoy Christmas I've decided to do a Pinoy take on misheard Christmas lyrics. Deck the halls with Buddy Holly anyone? It is just not a Pinoy Christmas without the parol, Simbang Gabi and of course, those wacky wacky street carollers. Of course most of these carollers are the local neighborhood kids who have flattened tansans to make ...

All the news you'll see about the movie is how long it is (187 minutes, roughly a little over 3 hours) and how it failed to bring in the early box-offices bucks it was expected to rake in.

It was boring to watch the Eraserheads on stage. As they themselves admitted in interviews, they are not the most 'telegenic' bands during the time. Pogi rock ruled (rules?) the scene. They were the exception. There were no rock star poses, Mick Jagger struts or the Who type equipment destruction from any of the band members during their live gigs.
