Audi RS5



To sum the words from some beer commercial in the Philippines, saying that only men should act like men, the beefed up version of the A5 coupe, known as the RS5, turns ordinary men into real road warriors of the Autobahn. To prove that the new RS5 is the inferno sports car for real men, here are the key points on observing the RS5's circles of hell, which is perfect for men to experience its hell-raising capabilities, from smoke to bourbon:

CASE 1:
The RS5 is powered with the 4.2 FSI V8 natural aspiration engine, which has the power output of 450PS, the torque output of 430 Nm, the top speed of 250km/h, and the time of 4.6 seconds in the 0-100kph run.

CASE 2:
The RS5 is equipped with quattro technology's first lightweight crown-gear center differential. (The differential with the shape of the crown) The crown-gear differential allows the RS5 changes the way it distributes the torque between the front and rear axles, for handling that is surely for real men only.

CASE 3:
The Audi drive select that is equipped on the RS5 allows drivers to choose from three different modes; comfort for fuel-efficient purposes and comfortable driving, auto for sensing the driving conditions, and dynamic for agile driving performance. A fourth mode, available when the MMI option is equipped, allows drivers to customize the way the RS5 behaves.

CASE 4:
The price of the new Audi RS5 is 77,700 Euros (guessing 5.5 million pesos), and its affordable than the Mercedes-Benz SL63/65 AMG.

My thoughts about the RS5:
Real Autobahn sports car only real men should ever try. The exterior is a drool-worthy experience, the interior has the smell of success, and the performance is truly a thriller. I can say that the RS5 is perfectly targeted for grown men who wanted to take a glimpse of this German devil with the burning passion to outperform everyone from its lust, greed, and gluttony over German sports cars with the desire for revenge. Go ahead, make yourselves comfortable, make yourselves manly, and be caught in the RS5's trap.

The videos from scam sites (From acai berry scams to white teeth scams)

“Skeptical? I Don't Blame You. I Felt The Same Way."





According to the dictionary, the word "skeptical" is showing doubt. Why do these scam sites trigger the word "skeptical" when we leave the site?

Is it because we are trying to be seduced by these scams? What's the big point? When you are leaving a scam site, a pop-up appeared saying "WAIT!" or "Don't leave yet" or "Skeptical?", just ignore it and leave. I know these keep happening a lot.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet



Last year, Mercedes-Benz launched the all-new E-Class, in sedan, coupe, and wagon form. Then, the following, AMG, Mercedes-Benz's powerhouse sports division, muscled up the E-Class sedan and the wagon form, leaving the coupe version in question. At the North American International Auto Show last January, Mercedes-Benz has just chopped the E-Class Coupe's roof, and called the E-Class Cabriolet, the next big thing from the premiere German automobile manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz.




Expected to be on sale this month for European customers, the new E-Class Cabriolet welcomes the wind for the owners, thanks to the switchable soft-top that can be close or open for an appealing tour de force. Dubbed as the replacement for the axed CLK-Class Cabriolet, most Mercedes-Benz aficionados would consider this new model a nice addition to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class collection. With the sedan, coupe, E63 AMG sedan, estate, and E63 AMG Estate on hand, the E-Class Cabriolet is definitely a newest addition to the family. Judging from its striking design, you can rest assure that this luxury convertible is sexualized for the thrill of the owners who are ready to take it all day, all night, from the city roads to the highway roads, showing other convertible owners who is the "king of the hill", no matter what it takes.

From the 2.0-litre CDI diesel engine all the way to the high-performance 5.5-litre V8 engine capable of releasing almost 400PS of power, the new E-Class Cabriolet has a host of innovative features; including the Agility Control suspension, McPherson struts, high-strength-steel construction, direct steering, multi-link suspension, and much more. It also has optional features such as the speed-sensitive power steering, sports suspension, and Dynamic Handling package. With these features, there is no stopping for this unique luxury convertible ready to feel the open breeze.

My thoughts about the E-Class Cabriolet:
With the winds changing from different directions, it is good to say that this new E-Class Cabriolet is the best ride only an E-Class fan can get. From the Autobahn, Mt. Haruna, Tagaytay, Grand Canyon, and other places where the wind can reach people, the breeze will be on your heart, once you step inside on this new car. It takes patience for the customer to obtain the newest member of the E-Class family, but when it strikes, the customer is welcomed to give this convertible a spin on the open highway. The E-Class Cabriolet makes a perfect rival to the BMW Z4, Lexus IS Convertible, and the Nissan Fairlady Z Roadster, as car addicts say it. Be prepared to get a handful of this new treat from Mercedes-Benz.

Banana Split, Bubble Gang or Lokomoko High? Which is funnier?

ABS-CBN's Banana Split, GMA's Bubble Gang, and TV5's Lokomoko High...

These three comedy gag shows share in common: skits send viewers rolling on floor laughing, spoofing pop culture, and everything more funnier than people breathing an ounce of laughing gases. But as for me, which gag fest is definitely the funniest?
CASE 1:
Banana Split is truly the spiritual successor to some of ABS-CBN's defunct gag shows such as Goin' Bananas, Klasmeyts, and The Yes Yes Show. At its maiden season, Banana Split packs a bunch of sexier artists and it makes viewers not only getting flirted by these sexy clowns, but also tickles them with hilarious gags. Now this show keeps changing and changing, with the addition of the country's hottest men such as Zanjoe Marudo and John Prats and the country's funniest clowns in TV such as Pooh, Pokwang, and ex-PBB housemate Jason Gainza. Not only that, it keeps evolving from a single-day time slot to a six-day time slot. (which viewers can watch it weekday afternoons) With Banana Split's line-up consists of NNNN (the Showbiz News Ngayon spoof), Brod Bro Bru (from the original, level up, props edition, to Brod, Bro, Bruce Lee), Mutanglawin (the spoof of Matanglawin), That's Impossible, Sosyal Pasosyal Wa-sosyal, Balitang Siksik, Show It, Nakakatarantongue Twister, Boys Over Acting (Boys Over Flowers parody), Bon Twilight Chiriri Kong Twilight (Twilight parody), New moon-ia (Twilight Saga New Moon parody), Agua Maldita (Agua Bendita spoof), and more, fans are getting hooked on ABS-CBN's hillarious gagfest that throws more laughing gas to viewers than its predecessors. I guaranteed that this is funny. But aside from the laughter served, there are dances also served in this show.
CASE 2:
Bubble Gang is GMA 7's flagship comedy gag show, giving viewers non-stop tickling every Friday night at GMA 7 and for worldwide Filipinos; GMA Pinoy TV. Like a bubblegum, Bubble Gang sticks the viewers with the some hillarious gags and skits, including fan favorites such as spoofs from other GMA shows, Ang Spoiled (with Michael V. as Yaya and Ogie Alcasid as Angelina), Haka Haka (Mythbusters parody), Sumbong Sumbong kay Bonggang Bongbong (hosted by Michael V. as Bonggang Bongbong), Misspelling Gee, IyoTube (YouTube spoof with Moymoy Palaboy), Don't Eching Me (a lie-detector part hosted by Michael V. as Sweat), and so on. With over 14 years strong, this comedy gag fest is surely a legend to the long list of GMA comedy shows.
CASE 3:
A worthy contender to the list of comedy gag shows, Lokomoko High from TV5 (formerly ABC 5) is an improved version of Lokomoko, with even more funnier moments that is crazier than your classmates from school and perfect for those who are ready for weekends, of course Friday night is Lokomoko time! Even it is new to the public, it keeps growing and growing until it reaches the funny zone. Of course, at the end of the Lokomoko High episode, a segment of this show called LBM (Loko Bidyo Moko) spoofs one of the hit songs we all love to listen to.
Verdict: Bubble Gang is truly a legend in the comedy show, while Banana Split keeps getting better and better, and Lokomoko High? Well, it may succeed just like those two. These comedy gag shows compete each other to prove which is funnier, and I want to find out which is which.

BMW 5-Series -Full Model Change-

BMW F10 5-Series
The 5-Series Gran Turismo launched from last year truly given BMW fans a glimpse of the next-generation 5-Series, from the outside to the inside. Now, to bring this vision into reality, the BMW 5-Series received a much-awaited full model change that brings out the seduction within the reach of successful executives from around the globe.

On the exterior, the new 5-Series used BMW's new design flow happened to the latest 7-Series, and it brings out most of its sexiness to attract appealing drivers. On the inside, executives take advantage of the technological features of the new 5-Series, from the leather seats, climate control, next-generation iDrive, and more technological features offered within reach. When compared to such rivals as the Toyota Crown, Hyundai Genesis, Nissan Fuga, Kia K7, Audi A6, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 5-Series has a major strategy to take these rivals to the dead zone, if only this car has a chance.

A choice of a four-cylinder diesel engine, six-cylinder diesel engine, six-cylinder gasoline engine, or the new TwinPower turbo V8 engine is the main brain of the BMW 5-Series, when customers has a choice between ecology or passion on the Autobahn. Not only that, there are other performance enhancers to take advantage of this new form, such as the brake energy regeneration, 8-speed automatic transmission, power steering, auto start stop function, and air vent control for dynamics against emissions. For safety, the new 5-Series is equipped with the finest features such as the active cruise control, camera systems, lane change warning, night vision, and an emergency call in the face of an emergency.


My thoughts about the 5-Series:
This car is untouchable in the eyes of the rivals, but touchable in the eyes of the Bimmer fans. The new 5-Series is classy on the outside, innovative on the inside, to bring executives' emotions released for its sexualized form, stronger performance, and resourceful technology. The secret of this new generation executive medium-sized sedan is best to be kept secret not only from the owners, but from the brand behind this wonderful machine. There are more models, including the spacious Touring variant, and the E63 AMG's worst enemy (a.k.a. M5) coming soon. As for that, they will have to make do with the sedan variant.

To understand a K-Pop Song easily...

2NE1's Fire

2NE1's I Don't Care

Super Junior's It's You

and Super Junior's Sorry Sorry/Sorry Sorry Answer

I know, these are my favorite Korean Pop Songs as most most people heard on their MP3s, buying these songs on either the internet or at their leading Music CD stores such as Odyssey, Astroplus, Astrovision, Music One, and Tower Records. Most people don't know is understanding the lyrics of each song, because these songs are set in Korean language and most Filipino fans don't understand Korean, well a few can understand Korean...
To make Pinoy fans of these hit Korean songs understand the lyrics of these, TV5's number one gagfest, known as Lokomoko High, come up with these parodies with words sound like the Korean lyrics, and brings out the humor engine within the fans

It sounds crazy, but understandable. ROFL
BTW, In the Lokomoko High-gagged versions of these Korean hit songs, they mentioned the car names Daihatsu, Kia, Honda, Cadillac, Mitsubishi, Ford, and Nissan.


SEE WHAT I MEAN?!

Maserati GranCabrio (GranTurismo Convertible)

Based on the satanic GranTurismo sports car made by the premier Italian car manufacturer, the GranCabrio (known in the U.S. as the GranTurismo Convertible) seeks temptation in the eyes of lust-worthy drivers who are speeding their way without borders. This car is truly the brand's first four-seater convertible model that succeeds from the two-seater Maserati Coupe/Spyder. It retains the power of the trident mark that became a part of the Maserati tradition. As a light shining in the light of the Italian machine, the GranCabrio is armed with the 4691cc V8 engine that holds 440PS of power and the maximum top speed of 283km/h. It features a six-speed, ZF automatic transmission with the hydraulic torque converter that allows this transmission to handle the torque of the GranCabrio's raw V8 engine. It also has the standard skyhook control suspension for precise handling on several turns; from curves to u-turns, no matter where this car will go. The Maserati Stability Program is equipped on the GranCabrio and it works well with the anti-lock braking system to avoid the case of locking of wheels during braking.

Since this is a convertible, the GranCabrio comes with the soft-top that can be opened or closed in just 24 seconds. This is great when you are experiencing open-air travels and let the wind be your companion on the highway.

My thoughts about the GranCabrio:
With the wind chasing on the rear bumpers, the Maserati GranCabrio is perfect for those who wanted a four-seater convertible armed with the special features adults want to experience the devil within the convertible. Sadly, this Italian monster cabriolet is not worthy to take down its sister car, the Ferrari California, but on the pricing side, we might consider the GranCabrio a real winner.

My wish My love



My wish my love, the official ending theme song of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st, sung by Yukari Tamura, shows that this song is definitely the best song in the Yukari Tamura music list. This maxi single CD includes four tracks, including the both the ending theme of Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st and the song, Tiny Rainbow, which is the ending theme of the PSP video game, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Battle of Aces. Let's skip the other two great songs included in this maxi single CD, I'm talking about the first two songs in this CD, which of course sung by none other than the seiyuu of Nanoha Takamachi herself, Yukari Tamura.

The song, My wish, My love, might not as great as Nana Mizuki's Phantom Minds (which of course the opening theme of the movie), but for the ears of Yukari Tamura fans (or Nanoha fans), this song is great to listening the song heard from the movie's closing credits, honestly speaking. With the mixture of slow, sweet tempoes, soothing tones, and Tamura-san's kawaii voice, I can say that this song is sweet at the beginning and sweetest at the end of the song. Makes me wonder how many times I'll listen to this cute song. On the song Tiny Rainbow, which is the ending theme of the Lyrical Nanoha video game on PSP, it has an upbeat tone mixed with the sweetness of Yukari Tamura's vocal sweetness.

Above all, this maxi single CD has the mixture of soothingness, tenderness, sweetness, and calmness, all bundled into one. Hope everyone will find a copy of this CD at their nearest anime stores, and listen to these tender sweet songs that is perfect for the otakus before their bedtime. It definitely gives me the hug.

Are you Facebook-ing to death?

I just saw something on the website regarding how people put status updates to their Facebooks and Twitters:

"The evidence is mounting that too much Facebooking, Twittering, and other online social- networking activities could kill you.

By taking the place of face-to-face conversations, they up your chances of being felled by cancer, dementia, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, a new study concludes."


So what? Who cares? Does anyone can say that Facebooking can kill you as much as snoring yourselves to death?

Why there are so many experts doing anything against Facebook, Twitter, or any social networking sites we use today? Do they think we should stick with old-fashioned methods.

We love using Facebook! We love Farmville! We love Pet Society! We love Mafia Wars! 

If they think about Facebooking kills people, can we face it? Or stand up against the study?

Successor?!

Hey readers! You know who this is.

Back in the first week of February, this week was the end of Philippines' favorite TV drama that spreads God's word to us, known as "May Bukas Pa". Who would miss God's precious gift to us, named Santino? I'm sure you missed everyone's favorite lovable "miracle boy".


Then, in February 8, a new fantasy drama takes place, it's titled Agua Bendita.




I know, we have to wait before Andi Eigenmann's appearance to the latest TV show very very soon, but the Agua character I saw in this latest fantasy drama series is much more like Santino because, she cures just like Santino, thanks to her watery appearance and more of some "Holy Water" traits. I mean, I saw the episode when the young Agua, played by Xyriel Anne Manabay, who also played as the young Bendita (I like her spoiled-brat attitude), cured the wounded bird, then the boy from another episode, and then, Bendita... 

Could Agua be Santino's successor?

OMG!

XD

Honda CR-Z

A hybrid car is a car dedicated for environmentalists. For those who are seeking adrenaline, they are focused on gas-guzzling sports cars rather than fuel-efficient hybrid cars. From Honda, they created a hybrid car dedicated for sports car enthusiasts, combining the fuel efficiency of the hybrid car with the thrill of the sports car at the same pace. The Compact Renaissance Zero from Honda, known as the CR-Z, is finally awakened from concept form to production form.




The Honda CR-Z is the true eco warrior, harmonizing both the purity of the hybrid car and the power of the sports car, combined to unleash the aspects for both people who want a better environment and people who want thrills on the highway.




From its striking design, the CR-Z resembles the hatchback flow from its predecessor, the CR-X, thus making this green samurai a spiritual successor to everyone's favorite Honda sports hatch from the 80's. Aside from the wonderful design, the CR-Z is powered by the 1.5-litre i-VTEC+IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) hybrid engine capable of 113PS of power with the additional 14PS motor power. Aside from having a CVT, the CR-Z is the only hybrid sports car equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, perfect for real men who want to rid the boredom from hybrid vehicles. It also has the three-mode drive system that allows drivers to choose which mode is suited for their mood. For power, switch to Sport Mode, for balance, try Normal Mode, and for fuel efficiency, start the Econ Mode.




After checking the CR-Z's performance, the interior is their last stop for this eco warrior. Every sports car aficionados are going to be so thoughtful because the seating is perfect for two persons (with the additional 2-seater at the back); meaning only grown men are allowed to take the plunge of this upbeat hatchback, but luggage is not a hindrance for the CR-Z, because the spacing is just identical to the Nissan Fairlady Z.

My thoughts about the CR-Z:
Undeniably this is the world's first hybrid sports car built to ease men out of the hybrid boredom. What I can say about this sports car is definitely the right time for me to describe its true colors for this eco warrior. This sports car is perfect, this car gets ordinary hybrid owners throwing their keys and grabbing the keys to the world's first hybrid sports car made from Honda. Have fun people, the CR-Z is truly the regal shocker of the highway.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG






Mercedes-Benz's ultimate successor to the classic 300SL and the striking but now defunct SLR McLaren might not have been as hot as its predecessors, but the performance truly makes it the "new age lightspeed goddess" of this generation. The SLS AMG brings the AMG powerhouse up the antes even further and mostly gained the spirit of the legendary 300SL at the same pace.







To make men drool to the SLS AMG's style, the gullwing doors makes it a perfect combination of yesterday and tomorrow in the eyes of the Mercedes-Benz universe. To top it all, the style that was inspired from the 300SL is the root of hopes and dreams driven by fate and the engineering of Mercedes-Benz's AMG division, the powerhouse behind the ubiquitous "6.3 AMG" line. Not only that, the retractable spoiler that rises on high speeds or braking makes it a lovely feature for this lightning machine.







For the eyes of the owner, the interior gets most of the fun factor, despite the seating capacity is fitted for two adults. With only two seats equipped on this car, the SLS AMG is perfect for men who want to take a long-legged dame on a highway date 24/7.







To top it all off, the SLS AMG is equipped with the M159 V8 natural aspiration engine that has over 500 PS of power, accumulating the top speed of 315km/h and 3.8-second time from the 0-100kmh run. To bring most of the SLS AMG's majestic performance, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission gives men to shift freely from turn to turn. As for the braking, an optional carbon ceramic disc brakes give this "new age lightspeed goddess" improved stopping power from the regular brakes.

My thoughts about the SLS AMG:
Former Ferrari F1 driver, now Mercedes-Benz F1 driver, Michael Schumacher was really surprised by the raw power of the SLS AMG, even the question "is it still a car?" really confuses Mercedes-Benz fans from across the globe. Now, it needs to be tested by the men from BBC's Top Gear to see how the SLS AMG will achieve from their power lap times. If Pocholo Ramirez were still alive, he would give this German Mauser a true roar on the Subic racetrack. Anyway, the SLS AMG's explosive packaging makes it a grand comeback of the legendary Gullwing machine that makes men drool all the way to the Nurburgring.
