I My Me! What happened to Donya Amalia?

Professional actress and former beauty queen, Pilar Pilapil, who is famous for being the villainous Donya Amalia from the 2010 fantasy drama, Agua Bendita, was reported stabbed seven times by carnappers! Thank goodness, she's still safe and alive...


This looks worse for the former beauty queen...

I hope she's okay....

"I need ur back Lulu"

Looks like we spent our April 15 fun with Alex Gonzaga, Empoy, Princess Ryan, Rainier Castillo, Valeen Montenegro, Joseph Bitangcol, Alyana Asisto, Diane Medina, Tuesday Vargas, JC De Vera, Caloy Alde, Edgar Alan Guzman, Milagring, Luningning, Mariposa, and the Boyz Avenue, otherwise known as the cast of Lokomoko U! Just like...

- Restaurant gags

- The refreshments taking the center stage in another Bata Bata Tayo'y Tumula! Well almost because the pamaypay is facing a minor trouble at the audience!

This pamaypay means trouble!

- On another dramatic episode of Lokomoko U's most dramatic portion that will made viewers cry with laughter, Bahaw Ikalawang Hain, Blue (Empoy) tries to stop Pinky (Diane Medina) from killing herself at the riverbank. Blue's right. Maybe they are better than both GMA's Telebabad and ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida combined, why would Pinky want to end it? This is Bahaw, you know.

Teleportation, Magic Singh style!

Help me! I've been attacked by the gorilla!


Looks like we got shocked by another magic misfits from Banana Split's Magic Singh on that April 15 episode! He showed us some teleportation magic. After saying HARA HARA KING KING, a man got teleported to a cage and got attacked by the gorilla! MAGIC!

There was that 1st-gen Tucson again in Green Rose! There's also that Peugeot 206 CC!

A Hyundai Tucson in a Green Rose episode


A black, 1st-generation, Hyundai Tucson CRDi appeared again on a Green Rose episode since April 14, 2011. This was first appeared since Jerome (Jericho Rosales) spent years in South Korea working for Mr. Darren Lee (guest star Albert Martinez), providing an opportunity for Jerome to return to the Philippines using Darren Lee's identity and claim back what Edward (Jake Cuenca) got from him, especially Angela (Anne Curtis).

A Peugeot 206CC in a Green Rose episode

Prior to that, there was a Peugeot 206CC appeared on that latest episode as well. Gina (Alessandra de Rossi), Edward's former right-hand woman who was a fugitive because of the corporate espionage, rode on it. Seems that the Peugeot 206CC here in the Philippines was an instant classic.

Das tut sehr weh...

Gumpert Apollo crash


About that sentence "Das tut sehr weh...", that's German for "that hurts a lot" because I saw in the news that there was a crashed Gumpert Apollo in Germany!


Why would a 20-year-old male gotten a chance to drive his father's Apollo all the way with his female companion. Luckily, both of them are injured.

Wonder how could that happened?!

Equus vs. MJ

2010 Hyundai Equus


2010 Toyota Crown Majesta

Both of these Asian premium sedans were launched in March 2009 but I wonder which of these two Asian premium sedans is best enough for a wealthy conglomerate to relax on the road? Both the Hyundai Equus VI and the 5th-generation Toyota Crown Majesta are a sovereign treats for a wealthy businessmen or even politicians. Well, time for me to think about these two;

CASE ONE:
The Hyundai Equus VI is actually the second-generation of Hyundai's premium sedan, the Equus (known in the other markets as the Centennial). The Equus was launched in 1999 and positioned as the flagship of Hyundai. Its rival is the Kia Enterprise (and now the Opirus/Amanti). The second-generation Equus (codenamed VI) was an extended length version of the Genesis sedan, providing its FR drive-train, new Tau V8 engine, and loads of luxurious features fit for the Korean royalties. It even came with the Limousine version since Autumn 2009 as well. At 2011, all Equus variants are equipped with the new Lambda 3.8 Gasoline Direct Injection engine while the flagship variant comes with the all-new 5.0L GDI engine. This new engine provides the maximum power rate of 430ps/6400rpm, 52kg-m/5000rpm of torque, and 8.8km/L of fuel economy. It is mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the inside, the driver's view looks exquisite, seats are comfortable, rear TV added, most of the premium features are top-notch.

CASE TWO:
The Toyota Crown Majesta is the flagship spin-off from the legendary Crown series. From the Majesta's first three generations, we saw the Majesta wearing the legendary Crown emblem. When the 12-generation Crown appeared in December 2003, sporting the new Crown emblem, the 4th-generation Majesta appeared on July 2004 and it was the first Majesta not to wear the Crown emblem, it only wears the Toyota corporate logo on the front. Eccentric for a flagship spin-off? When the Toyota Celsior was renamed as the Lexus LS, in light of the Lexus brand in Japan, the Crown Majesta became the brand's flagship sedan. In March 2009, the Majesta reached its fifth-generation and it's more of an enlarged version of the 13th-generation Toyota Crown series. What's new on the Majesta is the 1UR-FSE (4.6L V8) engine derived from the Lexus LS460. This engine comes with the D4-S direct injection system, capable of releasing 347PS of power, 46-9kg-m of torque, and the fuel economy of 9.4km/L. In comparison, the Majesta is fuel efficient than the Equus' 5.0L V8 engine. It is also comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The driver's view of the 5th-generation Majesta might seems to be borrowed from the Crown Royal and the Fine Graphic Meter was derived from the Crown Hybrid. On the passenger's side, with the Majesta F-Type G Package, the Center Console packs a lot of conveniences. the Premium Sound System, the Ottoman seat on the left, the speakers on the headreast, every premium conveniences made the Majesta a majestic premium sedan!

In terms of design, both the Equus and the Majesta stands out but if I had to choose one, I'd say it will be the Equus because of its striking front and back. The Majesta's design needs to be more fine because the fifth-generation's look was actually derived more from the previous generation, making it a confusion. In terms of comfort, I'd say it will be the Majesta because the passengers' side is the best because of the speakers mounted on the headrest, Premium Sound System, and the center console that is too plenty for them. The Majesta's Fine Graphic Meter is a wow factor. It's up to you to decide which of these Asian premium sedans is the best...

SuperVeloce - The ultimate bull in GT5

Song played on my Personal BGM: Vortex by Akihiko Matsumoto
From the album: LINK+AGE
Two bulls in two eras face an endless war



At Lamborghini, every weapon needs a master. Here in Gran Turismo 5, this applies the same as well, every weapon needs a master and every master needs a weapon. In the Lamborghini dealership at GT5, witness the brand's ultimate weapon, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce.

Warrior in Grigio Telesto

Lamborghini's ultimate weapon was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and this is undoubtedly the most powerful Lamborghini ever built (as told by Rutledge Wood from the first episode of Top Gear USA) with the limited production of 350 units worldwide at the price of $450,000. As I watched the first episode of Top Gear USA, the Murcielago SV, driven by Rutledge Wood, is much faster than the Gallardo Balboni, driven by Tanner Foust, but lost to the lightweight Gallardo SuperLeggera, driven by Adam Ferrera.

SuperVeloce Nurburgring Drift

At its stock form, the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce has a max power of 660HP, max torque of 486.77ft-lb, and weighs 1565kg. In the hands of the master, this powerful weapon has a max power of 839HP, max torque of 555ft-lb, and weighs 1268kg. At high speeds, this bull is fierce but lacks cornering, making this weapon hard to master. With practice, this bull is a wrecking force to be reckoned with.

An instant classic - its the last of its kind

The SuperVeloce is classified as a Premium Tier car, which means you can dress up some new rims, aero parts, or you can even bring this powerful weapon to Kyoto, Bern, Ahrweiler, San Galgano, San Gimignano, Piazza del Campo, Red Bull Hangar-7, or Lucerne for some photo travels. Bringing out for photo sessions sounds cool to show it to your friends that you have Lamborghini's most powerful bull in GT5.

The mightiest will lead

Most Gran Turismo 5 players are choosy when it comes to choose which car is best suited for around-the-world races and with this SuperVeloce, choosy players may sometimes be delighted to have one in their garages and show them to the world that they have Lamborghini's most powerful weapon. Just remember, every weapon needs a master and every master needs a weapon.

Ryan's English 101.1 Lesson 2

Looks like we got a second English lesson from Ryan Bang as Professor Ryan Valkswagen on Ryan's English 101.1 in the April 14 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings. On that lesson, we learned that the word "breakfast" means "patigilin ang mabilis na sasakyan" and "Mississippi" means..um...he said that spelling that word needs four "s" but in case we don't know, five "s".

Before that, the Art Throb (John Prats) made us an art volcano with the use of paper, scissors, crayons, and matches (parental supervision required, kids!)

Another magic mishaps with Magic Singh again! When a photographer (Badji Mortiz) encountered Magic Singh (Jayson Gainza) and he said there is something better than seeing the landscape. Take this rabbit for example, Magic Singh covered the rabbit with some handkerchief and then he said HARA HARA KING KING. After that, he covered the photographer's face with the handkerchief! Now you see, now you speak, now you don't! )^o^(

Now you see me, now you don't




Bummer! McDonald's Philippines pulled out the BFGF ad!

Everyone in the Philippines know that the McDonalds BFGF ad aired in the Philippines is cute to watch. It was about two kids, a little girl ask a little boy is she wants to be his girlfriend but the little boy said he wasn't ready because girlfriends are demanding and the little girl wants some fries from McDonald's. The commercial derived from India is so cute to watch but there was some bad news...

McDonald's Philippines has decided to pull out the "BFGF" ad because of the complaints from the CBCP.


Aw geez... it was a good commercial while it lasted... (-_-;)
