AT&T and US T-Mobile come collide, and still no iPhone for T-Mobile yet...

Well, it had to happen. The two rival cellphone providers, AT&T (famed for selling the Apple iPhone), and T-Mobile USA (the US subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, also famous for the myTouch android phone) are now collide, after AT&T bought the US T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom at the cost of 39 billion US Dollars. Talk about joint custody.


Also, check out the Q&A about what would happen since AT&T bought the North American T-Mobile at http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/more-information-att-acquires-tmobile

What disappoints me, even with the new partnership, T-Mobile still doesn't offer Apple's iPhone like what AT&T (and now Verizon) do. The T-Mobile's myTouch 4G is their flagship offering and also the Samsung Galaxy S.

MY COMMENT: Looks like AT&T and US T-Mobile are now Stick Together to Rethink Possible! Good luck on that new partnership!

超電磁砲ビジュアルブック - 100のヴィ学



Earlier, I bought the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Official Visual Book at Kinokuniya Bookstore. I think this looks safe because it was there a long time ago.

About that, this shows more pics of Mikoto Misaka (that's Biribiri to you and me), Kuroko Shirai (Judgment Desu No!), Kazari Uiharu, and Ruiko Saten. Also included are the episode guides, opening and closing theme sequences, and a special DVD regarding episode 13 (the swimsuit episode).

A perfect souvenir from the girls day out spin-off!

Some risky maneuvers from Alpha Bert and Dear Etang

BSDS Risky Maneuver # 1: Wife gets mad at her husband because of his beer-drinking habits. The two gone fighting mad. Alpha Bert to the rescue but the situation's getting worse; drunk man strangles his wife with a TUBO! By the word TUBO, that's the word of the day. Only two letters needed; L and O, replace T and U with L and O and the word is LOBO! The pipe turned into a balloon and the wife fights back!

Turn TUBO into LOBO!

BSDS Risky Maneuver # 2: Another episode of Dear Etang where Ate Etang read a letter from a kasambahay trying to prevent prank calls from the Dugo Dugo Gang. When the phone rings, the kasambahay is trying to prove that is that her amo or just a scam from the Dugo Dugo Gang. She prevented it but the coincidence is; the caller's no Dugo Dugo Gang but it's her amo! Looks like we got a lesson learned from Ate Etang; not most callers are from Dugo Dugo Gang and you're a kasambahay, not a game show host, try to lessen some questions!

"Prove to me that you're my amo
and not some kind from Dugo Dugo Gang!"

The Ultimate Heartthrobs' Machine

Edward Fuentabella's car in Green Rose


The first generation BMW Z4 can be sometimes a common show-off in some Asian dramas and movies. Lee Dong-gun (as Gerry) drove one in the Korean drama Stained Glass, Rico Blanco (as Lucas) drove one in Imortal, even Jake Cuenca (as Edward) drove one in the Philippine version of Green Rose. Also, this car appeared incidentally on the 2011 comedy drama movie "Who's That Girl?" and this was driven by Luis Manzano, who is the main character on that movie.

The first generation Z4 previously made its first Gran Turismo appearance at GT4 on PS2, then later on it was carried on Gran Turismo PSP and now Gran Turismo 5 on the Playstation3. With the required level of 2 and the cost of about 38,600 credits, GT5 players can add the BMW Z4 '03 model to their ever expanding garage full of race cars and yes its a Premium Tier car.

TOKYO R246 DRIFT!

My BMW Z4 on GT5 is fully tuned to about 383hp/6900rpm, weighs 1136kg because of the weight loss, and its Performance Points is a modest 506. Upon taking a spin on the heartthrobs' machine, it reminds me of the good old days of Stained Glass. Hah! I could often get used to this Autobahn roadster more than often but for those who think the regular BMW Z4 '03 model is not good enough, the high-revving BMW Z4 M Coupe '08 model is for them.

The Z4 M Coupe is fast and curious

The Z4 M Coupe is its first appearance in the Gran Turismo series but most video games featured this car. Players who reached A-Spec/B-Spec level 7 can buy this car at the cost of 69,500 credits. In standard tune, the BMW Z4 M Coupe has a power output of 338hp/7900rpm, weighs 1495kg, and the Performance Points is 469. Thanks to the credits spent in tuning, I accumulated my own Z4 M Coupe to a power output of 422hp/8500rpm, lost 250 kg of weight, and it has 513 Performance Points. How to tune its LSD and Suspension is up to you.

This car stands still at Red Bull Hangar-7

Just like the regular Premium Tier Z4, the Z4 M Coupe is a Premium Tier car. You can change its rims, add aero parts, install carbon fiber hood, or go Photo Travel with this car! Just like mine, I take a picture of this car at Red Bull Hangar-7, which is one of the photo travel locations only Premium Tier cars can take a picture at.

The duel between the two Z4 models

Who knows? Both the BMW Z4 '03 and the BMW Z4 M Coupe '08 can be the fiercest rivals and it's up to you to decide which Z4 is your pick. I personally think that the fully tuned Z4 M Coupe has a higher power output than a fully tuned BMW Z4 3.0i but the max tuned BMW Z4 3.0i is lighter than the max tuned Z4 M Coupe. This is going to be a neck-to-neck experience when I try them both and deciding which is which may probably take some time. Still, the first generation BMW Z4 is definitely the ultimate heartthrobs' machine and the Z4 M Coupe is the ultimate thrill-seekers' machine.

It's up to you to decide...

Another episode of Mommy Dionesia in Love is a "snatch"!

Mommy Dionesia Poohkyaw shocked



Shocked? There was another episode of Mommy Dionesia in Love earlier on Banana Split Daily Servings, where Mommy Dionesia Poohkyaw encountered another handsome kind of fellow and his name was Toby. When Mommy D handed Toby her stuff and asked him to put these in the car, looks like Jinkee Poohkyaw came to fetch her, but who's Toby? Uh oh, Mommy D fell in love with a SNATCHER! What a shocker!

Banged by a cymbal!

Another shocker was another magic from Magic Singh, where his magic is to make you deaf with the use of his cymbals! When in effect, you'll never heard what he said!

Hang Ten, Arroyo!

Another gagged photo appeared on Banana Split's Ang TV Patrol showing former president Arroyo gone surfing. About the report that the Supreme Court will not be called Arroyo Court according to Jason Francisco, he imagines what would Arroyo's court would be and here's the pic!

LISTEN UP! Jason told us another three things Banana Split don't want you to do it in another "ANG O.A. MO!" segment such as;

Number One: Suppose you bought popcorn and you're watching at your neighbor's TV set via the window!

"Do you have your popcorn ready?"

Number Two: Hiring a driver on your sidecar or padyak

Hiring a driver but your transport
was a padyak?

Number Three: Bought a new aircon so you can wear your new jacket!

"That was cool!" Not!

These are the three things that are OA and Banana Split doesn't want you to do it. Wait...

at the end of the segment, looks like Jason missed Melai sooooo much! "WAAHH!!! MELAI!!!"

Cheer up Jason Francisco! At least you and Melai are together on Mana Po! (^o^)

Looks like Jason missed Melai so much! LOL

Bumuhos man ang ulan...

Holding my Nagi Sanzenin-ojousama...


Well, we are very very worried about the real "Sinking of Japan" situation plus the trouble in the Fukushima prefecture. I'm getting worried about what will I buy next.

As I worried, the stuff that I bought from Japan like for instance, CDJapan, Play Asia, or whatever you guys know where you bought your anime merchandises, is there a possibility that it has some RADIATION? What if? Could we not buy something yet until this situation's back to normal?

Um, there goes the song "Bumuhos Man Ang Ulan" again for us...

PRAY FOR JAPAN!

Let's hope that the situation not just in Fukushima but the rest in Japan will be completely back to normal and oh, any alternatives to buy something that is completely radiation-free?

♪Everybody Getting High♪

2011 Honda Fit RS


2011 Honda Fit

Looks like most Pinoy Honda fans playing the song "Everybody Getting High" by Mick Jagger from the MP3 players because the latest minor change of the second generation Honda Jazz (known as Fit in other markets) is now here!


Offered is the 1.3 S variant that comes with a 5-speed manual and 5-speed auto and the top-of-the-line 1.5 V variant. I have a suspicion that the Jazz 1.5 V variant looks closely similar to the JDM Honda Fit RS sans the 6MT. What we have is a 5AT variant with paddle shifters.

In case we're wondering, did this thing imported from the already-sinking Japan? Nope, we got it from Thailand, so nothing's wrong.

Prices start at 752,000 Philippine Pesos for the 1.3 S 5MT variant to 857,000 Philippine Pesos for the RS-like Jazz 1.5 V 5AT variant.

What's great for me is if I owned the 1.5 V 5AT variant of the Jazz, I'll find some RS badges and stick it to make it look like the JDM Honda Fit RS! (^o^)

What's needed is the CVT variant and the Hybrid variant. We'll catch up later!

Alpha Bert has a "KAMA" for you!

Turn DAMA to KAMA!


Suppose there was some guy playing dama in a boring way because he doesn't find a place to sleep? Luckily, Alpha Bert's here! The word on this episode is DAMA, then replace D with K, and the word is KAMA! Your KAMA's here! BOING!

Guess what? Another episode of Dear Etang is up! On this episode, Ate Etang read a letter written from a kasambahay whose her simple joy taken away from her amo!

Kasambahay and her amo's husband

Well, her amo took away her simple joy because her amo took her cellphone. Then, the kasambahay turned the tables when she got her amo's husband. A simple joy might be an unexpected twist. Taking what's right is just what's right...
