Laser Squadron! Maskman!

One of the best things about growing up in the Philippines is getting entertainment from the East and the West. I watched those American cartoons alongside a lot of Japanese Anime, I know kids in the US had the same thing but we had more. A lot more. Not just anime but live action shows. One of these was Hikari Sentai Maskman.

We just called it Maskman as kids. Translated as "Taskforce of Light: Maskman", the Filipino dub called as the much cooler, "Laser Squadron: Maskman". Maskman was part of the long-running Super Sentai series in Japan, which made it into the US in the 90's as the wildly popular Power Rangers. We had the same thing in the Philippines in the 80's but it was the a straight-up dub of one of the shows.

Welcome to my blog about nerdy stuff of a Filipino kid who grew up nerdy in the Philippines. So this blog will be just like any other nerdy blog out there but with a Filipino twist, meaning I'll squirt some calamansi over it. And some soy sauce. And some diced siling labuyo.

I'll be covering everything from vidya gheimes (video games), interweb culture, annie-may (anime), otaku culture, and anything nerd-centric that has anything to do with the Philippines. Well then, lets geek out, yo.
