TambayanBox 2.0 Coming Soon!

Posted on | July 29, 2010 | 2 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Also you may want to leave a comment to the posts. xD Thanks for visiting! |m|

What’s up with that? Anyway, I started blogging 2006 and I officially started this blog last June 2007 (HOMIGAD! I forgot that I just had surpassed 4 years of blogging. Here was my first post).

I bought the domain TambayanBox.org cause I wanted to feature Cebu Bands, Cebu Events, Places, Gigs and others. Yes, I was one of the pioneers (I think. Long before most bloggers did it.) who featured these stuffs. I had a vision for the site and I did get a decent following specially from bands. My biggest problem was, the site was hard-coded. Pure HTML and CSS! At that time, I thought using CMSes was not “ethical”. I acted like a wannabe-HTML-CSS-purist! I have managed to get the backup of the site running again for evidence’ sake! Here is the old Tambayanbox.org site.

Due to that, I ended up not being able to easily update the site! So, I tried to create a subdomain, blog.tambayanbox.org (was named [d'MusicBox]* for more than 3 years and was just changed to [TambayanBox]* lately to slowly migrate the site to the original domain but I changed my mind), to house my personal ramblings and all the shiznit using Wordpress. I ended up loving Wordpress and all my attention was put to the new personal site and added more Wordpress blogs and it spelled death for TambayanBox.org – “The Real Online Tambayan“. DEATH! I had a big vision that also largely failed (maybe because of that cheesy tagline)!

I wanted to continue what I started in TambayanBox in this site (blog.tambayanbox.org) but I think it would look really awkward mixing it will my personal ramblings and I will be left with no place for my personal ramblings if ever. Also, I need a place to house my post-event and pre-event articles for most Cebu Blogger’s Society events and others as I hate putting too much formality in this blog because in the first place, I am not formal (at all!).

So now, I am all set to start TambayanBox.ORG 2.0. This will still feature Cebu Events, Cebu Bands, Cebu Hotels, Restaurants, Malls, Beaches, et. al.

Watch out! The Spot, The Bands, The Gigs and The Music! TambayanBox.ORG, The Real Online Tambayan. SOON To Re-OPEN!

New Mortal Kombat Movie Looks Real Good(Trailer)

Posted on | July 14, 2010 | 1 Comment

I have been a big fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise. I love the gore and brutality in the game and when the first movie was released in 1995, I was a big fan.

Just recently, I saw a trailer of the new Tekken movie and after that, I saw the trailer of the new Mortal Kombat movie and I should say, the new Mortal Kombat movie looks real good!

I am intrigued though if Leu Kang will appear as I think the main character will be Scorpion based on the new Mortal Kombat trailer. Johnny Cage has a sweet fight scene against Baraka in the trailer and Johnny Cage gets owned! Reptile does not look like the character in the game and that really pumps my Mortal Kombat veins a lot.

Here is the new Mortal Kombat Movie Trailer:

IMAX Theater Invades SM Cebu!

Posted on | July 5, 2010 | No Comments

Now, Cebuanos will not have to drool to the thought that Manileños are able to watch BIG movies in the BIG Screen through SM’s IMAX Theater, that is because IMAX Theater is invading SM Cebu.

Last July 2 was the pre-launching part of the SM Cebu IMAX Theater. The pre-launching party featured 3Ds! 3 Designers and 3 DJs. I didnt really care much about it as I was there to know more about IMAX and yeah the food! IMAX Theater in SM Cebu will be officially launched this July 9 and first on the list is James Cameroon’s AVATAR.

Here are the other movies on the list to be shown in SM Cebu IMAX Theater (I think I forgot 2-3 movies) 1. INCEPTION 2. HUBBLE 3D 3. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. The price for SM Cebu IMAX was not announced on the event but it may be 50-100 pesos less than what it costs in Manila.

The world’s most immersive movie experience, IMAX is now in SM City CEBU!

So Noteworthy, So Last Year!

Posted on | June 1, 2010 | No Comments

It’s always nice to get recognition no matter how small or big it is. After being listed as one of the Best Cebu Blog of 2009 (Top 8), Bjorn of BjornCebuano.com made a list of Cebu’s Noteworthy Blogs and Bloggers and guess what? I made it to the list! Stop hating, I am really noteworthy. Kidding aside, that just got me really pumped up! I am (or my blog) really that noteworthy?

The funny thing is, he is like my bio page! Yes, you read it right again. My Author page! Well, the sole reason why I placed my picture there is that most often than not, with my real name (Edcel), I get mistaken as a she rather than a he. Also, upon checking out my author page, I was in utter disgust upon seeing it. I have left the page unattended, knowing nobody would read it anyways, that I have left my profile unupdated. As a proof, my community site profiles are only MySpace, Multiply and Friendster! Major FAIL! I am so last year!

With that, I have updated my author page. I have now placed a link to my Facebook account, Twitter and Plurk. ^_^ Add me up and please leave a message. My updated author page.
