Newspapers, tablets, walis, galis, pandakot, and panda

In another Mang Ben on the June 27 episode of Banana Split; Mang Ben meets up with some guy (Rasheed) holding newspaper. Mang Ben wants to see what's up with that newspaper until some guy makes it on the crossword puzzle part. While the man is solving a crossword puzzle, Mang Ben solves it until the man hands it over to Mang Ben. While Mang Ben solves crossword puzzles, a man is using some kind of portable tablet. When cops approach, the man hands the tablet over to Mang Ben until Mang Ben was caught by the cops because of snatching.

It's Alphabert versus Letterman again! When Letterman annoys an old Metro Aide, he attacks her by using the word WALIS that transformed into GALIS. Alphabert strikes back and he uses the Metro Aide's PANDAKOT to turn Letterman into PANDA! Pow! Alphabert rules!

Aston Martin One-77 - Forza 3 Owner's View

This Cecilia Alcott itasha One-77 costs you extra


The beauty of the One-77's rear

The cool beauty outshines everything


FINAL IMPRESSIONS: Suppose you're dreaming to have an Aston Martin One-77, the ultimate Aston Martin built for the Aston masters worldwide. However, what you realize that this car costs a million dollars and it's limited up to 77 units worldwide. If you're dreaming to have one, why not give it a shot at Forza Motorsport 3? Since it debuted via the AutoWeek Car Pack last year, Forza 3 owners can blow away their in-game pockets to buy this astonishing marvel created from the Aston Martin plant in Gaydon, Warwickshire, Great Britain.

This ultra expensive British sports car made me wow when I first laid my racing gloves on that and when tried on some races, the beauty outshines everything. My favorite part from the One-77 is the rear lamps because this is the most beautiful masterpiece I have ever encountered. When braked, the true beauty of the One-77's rear lamps show up and it was an amazing look when you are taking a picture of it.

It's good to keep this British beauty in your Forza 3 garage and if the One-77 is out of stock, it's not your problem now.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 4

Looks like we got an emergency situation! Earlier, some intruder invaded my computer and the intruder left a message saying "name of the song on the latest kia picanto ad?" and when I checked out I gave this intruder a reply that he will scare him away "I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THAT SONG! WOULD YOU BETTER PLEASE GIVE UP AND STOP ASKING WHAT WAS THE SONG PLAYED ON A CERTAIN CAR COMMERCIAL?". Man, what the fudge are they doing. Those "son of a bees" wouldn't give up asking that question. When they hear vocals on a certain car ad, that's what the attack starts by bombarding everything with a question like "what's that song?" or "what is the title of that song? PLEASE?" or "Please, can you ask me what was that song?" or any variations of those questions that are highly nonsense and you are scaring both the music industry and the automotive industry because you want to find other ways to get a commercial song just so you can put it on your MP3, plug the USB cable on it, and play it on a car while driving! Hah, didn't I forget?

You better quit that habit and in order to quit that habit of saying questions like "can you please tell me what was the title of the song?" or "what is the title of the song?" or "title of the song please?" or whatever, I'm enlisting you another top five DRIVING MUSICS (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy and forget asking that endless question that breaks the relationships between the music industry and the automotive industry.

5) JDM fans should be familiar about the Nissan 180SX commercial aired in Japan since 1989. Most JDM Sports car would ask that what was the song played on this classic Nissan 180SX commercial, it's simple, the song is titled You Keep Me Hangin' On by Vanilla Fudge. Find it on iTunes Store and buy it. This is a good song if you are an owner of the classic Nissan 180SX sportscar.

4) Most of you remember a classic Honda Integra ad starring Michael J. Fox. The song used on that ad is The Power of Love by Huey Lewis & The News. Find this one too on the iTunes store!

3) Do you remember the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Japanese Commercial under the slogan "Minus 21 second Roman"? If so, do you remember what was that song? It says "SPEED KING" but do you know who sings the song titled SPEED KING? That was Deep Purple. Find that also on iTunes Store and buy the song as heard from the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 commercial!

2) Someone asked me a question about what was that song played on the Ssangyong Korando C Korean TV Commercial. There are two variants of this Korando C launch ad. In the commercial "Classy Style", the song played is Secrets by OneRepublic. The other Korando C launch ad titled "Classy Driving" has the song titled Come Back Home by Two Door Cinema Club. Find both of these on the iTunes store right now and buy it if you have the chance.

1) The music played on the Ssangyong Rexton debut commercial in Korea was can be found at Avalon Original Soundtrack. The BGM titled "Nine Sisters", original score by Kenji Kawai, was that song used on that ad.

There you have it. Don't expect seeing those questions on my stats otherwise, I'll give you a warning. If I see that question again, I'll take some drastic negotiations, kuha mo?

Bitter farewell for Peter Falk a.k.a. Columbo

A moment of silence...

Another legendary celebrity was gone but never forgotten...

Legendary star Peter Falk, famous for being Columbo, passed away at the age of 83.

Scoop:

We may not remember who's Peter Falk but we will surely missed him. What I do remember him that he was on a Japanese Toyota Corolla commercial aired in 1995. Yes, about some of them remember that ad...



RIP Peter Falk (1927-2011)

Toyota New Avensis (ZRT272W)

2012 Toyota Avensis Wagon


Designed and engineered from the Great Britain via Toyota Motor United Kingdom, the Toyota Avensis the the Japanese car that has the appeals of European tendency because of its European style, good performance, and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Available this September 2011 is the base model of the Avensis Wagon.

Why they offer only the wagon variant of the Toyota Avensis? Most say that the Toyota Avensis Wagon is an luxurious alternative to the Corolla Fielder. When the Corolla Fielder is sold at Corolla dealers, the third-generation Toyota Avensis Wagon will be sold at Toyota dealers, Toyopet dealers, and Netz dealers, providing better choices for Toyota's wagon line-up. The only model offered for the Avensis Wagon is the base model.


2012 Toyota Avensis Wagon interior


You might think it was fully equipped but the Toyota Avensis Wagon has some of the interior stripped before exported to Japan like for instance the audio system. What would an Avensis Wagon do without entertainment and navigation? Ah the disadvantages of the Japan-spec new Toyota Avensis interior because it didn't offer the audio system. However, the interior design looks more "Cecilia" and it takes more than getting used to. Maybe a little practice goes a long, long way. If you were owning a Japan-spec Toyota Avensis Wagon, you might need to buy some new audio systems to put up on the deck. Japanese people are finding great ways to enjoy this Britain-built Toyota Avensis Wagon.


2012 Toyota Avensis Wagon


The Japan-spec Toyota Avensis Wagon is powered with the 3ZR-FAE (2.0-litre 4-cylinder DOHC) engine that delivers a modest 152PS/6200rpm of power output, 20.0kgf・m/4000rpm of torque output, and 14.6km/L (10-15 Mode) of fuel economy. The standard transmission is a 7-speed CVT with Paddle Shifters and Sport Mode for a more agile shifting at winding roads. The suspension is Euro-tuned to make cornering more fun because the Avensis Wagon has the suspension that was made for the sporty European roads.

Notable safety features include Steering‐assisted Vehicle Stability Control, Electric Power Steering, Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Emergency Brake Signal, Projector Discharge Headlamps, Intelligent Adaptive Front-Lighting System, Rear fog lights, Flat wiper blades, Global Outstanding Assessment compatibility body, and SRS airbags.

Available in three colors; Black Mica, Silver Metallic, and Super White II

My Comment:
Good to have the Avensis back in Japan despite the offering was the wagon variant. If they were the customers, what will they put up with to enjoy Toyota's Euro Style Wagon? Besides, sales of the new Avensis Wagon will start this fall so better start saving your hard-earned cash and leave the extras to the aftermarket audio systems to fill the gap of the Avensis Wagon's interior. I bet the Britain-made Avensis Wagon was surely a "Cecilia Alcott in the making" in the eyes of a Japanese customer looking for some Japanese car designed and engineered from Great Britain, because the Avensis is MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN!

Potential rivals include the Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon, Honda Accord Tourer, Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, Citroen C5 Tourer, Renault Laguna Estate, Renault Megane Estate, and the Peugeot 508 SW. Britain's Toyota is back in Japan...sort of. One day, if I owned the Toyota Avensis Wagon, I will paint that Britain-made Japanese car more Cecilia-ish than you can possibly imagine...

Cars 2

CARS 2


The Cars are back on this high-octane, family-friendly, sequel! In Cars 2, racecar Lightning McQueen faces the most toughest challenge yet, the World Grand Prix. The World Grand Prix is the ultimate race that pits the world's best of the best cars within different countries; Japan, France, Italy, and Great Britain. This is what he accept because of the challenge by Italian racing superstar, in a form of a Formula One racecar, Francesco Bernoulli. Never know that McQueen had faced such a fierce rival in the World Grand Prix. With the help of his best tow truck friend Mater and the others such as Luigi, Sarge, and Guido, Lightning McQueen sets abroad all over to the World Grand Prix. However, the friendship between Lightning McQueen and Mater are tested while they were at Japan, the first area for the WGP. Problem is, the World Grand Prix is the big target by the most diabolical villain known by the name of Professor Z, with his rough and tough henchmen such as Grem and Acer. Within such outcome, the legendary super spy who looks like an Aston Martin DB5, Finn McMissile, along with his protege agent, Holley Shiftwell, steps on. When Finn and Holley met Mater, they mistaken our tow truck pal for a spy car and they needed help to stop Professor Z's plans to destroy the World Grand Prix while McQueen races against the best racecars of the world.

Cars 2 packs huge surprises that is more fun than telling that a wasabi is mistaken for pistachios. There were sumo wrestler vans, a white Alfa Romeo known to be Pope Pinion IV during Italy quests, an encounter with Uncle Topolino, a Bentley Continental GT known by the name of Prince William, Lewis Hamilton makes an appearance as a black sports car, some twists, turns, and a few laughs for the whole family. Who would have thought that most of us are willing to watch this high-octane sequel to the 2006 animated cartoon made possible by Disney and Pixar. Happy to the family that this is one good treat for Summer and more and more are releasing Cars 2 related merchandises such as the Cars 2 video game, die-cast cars, children's books, Hallmark cards, and other stuff that made Cars fans go crazy for it.

Lots of new character cars appeared such as Jeff Gorvette, Carla Veloso, Raoul Carole (a rally car), Rod Redline (a Dodge Challenger lookalike?), Miles Axelrod, A Petrov, Nigel Gearsley (an Aston Martin DBR9 racecar?), Max Schnell (German touring car), Shu Todoroki (Le Mans Prototype from Japan), Miguel Camino (racecar from Spain), Carlo Maserati (a Maserati Quattroporte), Lewis Hamilton as Lewis Hamilton himself as a car, and there's Darrell Cartrip and Brent Mustangburger, the guys who are commentating the whole WGP progress. There are more appeared and who do you think is your favorite car?

Yes, they're not here to win the race, THEY'RE HERE TO SAVE THE RACE! Cars 2 is definite a family-friendly car movie that makes car enthusiasts bring the whole family and this movie will be the most memorable in the eyes of kids and car enthusiasts alike. Someday, we'll have fun relieving it with those Cars 2 related merchandise and collaborations. For us, this sequel is explosively fun. Looks like we're gonna need more pistachios to watch! Let's celebrate their biggest comeback and boy, this is going to be fun!
