Yesterday, rock legend Karl Roy passed away early morning Tuesday, March 13, at 1:01AM, at the age of 44. This was announced by Karl's sister, Kathryn Roy, on Facebook. Some say, he died in his home surrounded by members of his family. He died because of pneumonia according to his old colleague, the former drummer of Advent Call, Jay Alviar.
Very sad. Very sad to see one of Philippines' rock legends passed away in a blink of an eye. Also died was singer-composer, Bodjie Dasig, who's responsible for the song "Ale" and "Sana Dalawa ang Puso Ko". His death was announced by APO's Jim Paredes via Twitter. "Confirmed: Bodie Dasig, songwriter of 'Sana Dalawa ang Puso Ko', husband of Odette Quesada passed away today too. OPM just lost 2 greats,"
So, I was kinda disappointed that the Philippines has just lost not one but two music legends; the rock legend and the singer-composer. That really made me sad...
Okay, aside from making me sad, there's something that really bothered me. As you know, we really enjoyed watching the new fantasy show, Wako Wako. We've enjoyed it when it was premiered last week. I was getting bothered by someone asking who is the child actor in Wako Wako. Really wanna say who's that child actor who played as the main character of Wako Wako? Clue, he was in the Bear Brand Busog Lusog commercial and he was last seen in a GMA drama called Futbolilits.

Yes, that's Yogo Singh. No one else knows this child actor than I am.
Anyway, moving on...

| 2013 Renaultsport Clio 200 Red Bull Racing RB7 |
Just a few days left before the 2012 Formula One season starts in Australia, Renault launched a special edition Renaultsport Clio (Renaultsport Lutecia) 200 Red Bull Racing RB7 Edition that is colored in special matte black color with yellow accents on the F1-style splitter, side mirrors, and the rear diffuser. There are some Red Bull Racing decals as well. Now this is what happens when we see F1 drivers in their overalls driving for work. Let's not get excited yet because it's available only in France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria, with pricing starts at 27,900 Euros.
Gosh that sweet, if I live in France. What about that one?

| 2012 Renaultsport Megane F1 Show Car |
Those are Renaultsport Megane in F1 liveries but these are for show purposes only. You can't have them...
Anyway, I just watched a clip from Youtube that most of the sports cars are gathered in some airstrip in Subic Bay, most of them are members of an elite sports car club called "Trackhos". It's called THE MILE and this video is a 4-minute lust of exotics, luxury cars, sports cars, and more. Hey I can even see the RUF RT 12 from here! This clip is so good, it got an international recognition from Autoblog.
It's all about car lust and charity because proceeds from this event went to the Philippine Red Cross to help Sendong victims. What a generous treat from petrolheads in the Philippines. I really wish I want to be part of an elite car club of the Philippines, if I have the right car that is best suited for the club.
Listen, there are some utter bad news that a popular manga, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, is going to end in 9 more chapters. This was announced from the 15th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine. Pretty soon, we really wanna say "Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei" in late May 2012.

| Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei |
Now for those who haven't know of that, it's about a depressed teacher who finds the deal with a class that really went absolutely and completely bonkers. This was launched in 2005 and last month, the 28th compiled book was published by Kodansha. It spawned three anime seasons and several OAD releases.
Ugh, now what? Poor us. Some of them think that it's their favorite but in May, it's all gone.
Also gone as Encyclopedia Britannica because for after almost two and a half centuries of publishing because the print edition became too difficult to maintain and wasn't the best physical element to deliver the quality of their database and the quality of their editorial.
Heh, seems that when Encyclopedia Britannica no longer makes print books due to today's trends but no matter. An encyclopedia will always evolve into new and exciting ways to meet up with today's standards. For a really good news, Britannica Online is now free for a full week beginning Monday.
Guess the internet is more better than books. Tsk. Tsk. I love books and I don't like e-books. Can the internet really be as better than old fashioned encyclopedia? Heh, can't tell...
...and that's the news! Coming up now, how do we say Sayonara to Mahou Sensei Negima!
