Let's Do The News! (May 19, 2012)

ANG ILANG EKSENA SA PROGRAMANG ITO AY GUMAGAMIT NG SALITANG DZONGKHA, ANG PAMBANSANG WIKA NG BHUTAN, NA GINAMIT BILANG WIKA NG KAHARIAN NG YANGDON. UPANG MADALING MAINTINDIHAN NG MANUNOOD, MINABUTING ISAWIKA SA FILIPINO ANG MGA EKSENANG ITO.

Oh, no! No! We're not speaking Dzongkha and we're not PRINCESS AND I! It's now time to do the news! Sorry for such inconveniences why we feature this every time before that show starts.

(laughing)

Uh, excuse me. I heard DZONGKHA. What was that?

Uh, don't worry about it. This word rhymes with Zonda. Dzongkha!

(laughing)

Oh right! Pagani Zonda...Hmmm...Dzongkha...Dzongkha rhymes with Zonda. What about Pagani?

Don't worry about it. I came up with something that sounds like Pagani...BAGANI!

BAGANI? Did you replace P with B?

Right! Bagani!

Bagani...hmmm...could that be that guy from Amaya?

Exactly.

Imagine that...Bagani...Dzongkha...

BAGANI DZONGKHA!

(laughing)

Brilliant! It was Bagani Dzongkha! That's how we name a Pagani Zonda from a teleserye fan's point of view. Bagani was the name of a character from Amaya then Dzongkha was the national language of Bhutan that was used (and later dubbed in Tagalog) in Princess and I.

Good idea! I really like the name...Bagani Dzongkha! When the Pagani Zonda called by teleserye fans...he he he

(laughing)

It's like Kapamilya and Kapuso mashed together!

(laughing)

Hey! You know any variant of the Bagani Dzongkha?

(laughing)

Oh right! Yes, there were variants!

There were...

the BAGANI DZONGKHA C12!


Next up, the BAGANI DZONGKHA S 7.3



The BAGANI DZONGKHA Roadster


BAGANI DZONGKHA F


BAGANI DZONGKHA F Roadster!


BAGANI DZONGKHA Cinque!


BAGANI DZONGKHA Cinque Roadster!


BAGANI DZONGKHA Tricolore!


And lastly...the track-only BAGANI DZONGKHA R!!!


It's very cool when we see fans of "Amaya" and "Princess and I" mocking the name of Italy's memorable hypercar! Bagani is from Amaya and Dzongkha is the language from Princess and I. Together, it's called BAGANI DZONGKHA!

(laughing)

Can't believe we're making fun of Richard Hammond's favorite car! He he he...

(laughing)

Uh, better not making fun of it or we made Horacio Pagani upset about this...You know there was the new Pagani called the H-U-A-Y-R-A. Let's not make it a bit too serious. Let's proceed to the news.

Right, let's begin with Forza Motorsport 4. Let's just say that you didn't have the limited collector's edition. You know that the Limited Collector's Edition has VIP membership on it but you failed to get it. Don't worry folks because VIP membership is now purchasable at the Forza 4 storefront for 1,200 points ($15). With VIP membership; you'll have access to five cars such as the Noble M600, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Ruf RT 12 R, and the Ferrari 458 Challenge. Plus,  exclusive in-game gifts, access to exclusive VIP Rivals Mode Events, and expanded storefront and gallery space, as well as VIP designation on your GamerTag in Forza Motorsport 4. If you have Limited Collector's Edition like I do, please disregard this notice because you and me already have VIP membership and we already have exclusive in-game gifts, access to exclusive VIP Rivals Mode Events, and expanded storefront and gallery space, as well as VIP designation on your GamerTag in Forza Motorsport 4.

New or existing Forza VIP's have greater news because you'll have a $5 discount off the price of the upcoming Porsche Expansion Pack. We're not joking. It's true!


Some say, proceeds will belong to the international charity organization Save the Children as part of Microsoft’s larger initiative of creating opportunities for youth worldwide.

(applause)

So, if you never had Forza 4 VIP status, now it's the best time to buy it and once more, your proceeds will belong to the charity. That's all. Now, moving on...

Right, let's see...um...oh! The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 gets modified by Wheelsandmore!

Oh!


What you can see here that the 6.5L V12 engine gets tuned to achieve 777PS of power and 750Nm of torque. That's pretty good to have a Venta implanted with new brains and pumped up muscles. The only exterior refinements you'd expect from the Wheelsandmore Aventador were 20-inch rims shod in 255/30 Pirelli tires, while at the rear, the 21-inch wheels are wrapped in 355/25 rubber.


The question is, does blue stuff coming out at the exhaust? Hope so! He he he he....

Hey! Great News!

What?

There's a new Dacia revealed! It's called the Dokker!



Great!

(laughing)

Now, anyway I got reports that Lexus no longer producing the slow-selling HS 250h hybrid sedan as of January 2012, which means, Lexus will no longer selling it to the US.


The press statement said...

"Production of the HS 250h ceased in January, 2012. Lexus continues to monitor sales for each product and we make adjustments to make sure that we meet market demand, and the discontinuation of HS was part of that adjustment,"

So, production of the HS250h ceased since January, how come it was still listed on the Japanese Lexus website? Let's be honest, the HS250h is too big, too ugly, and worse, too expensive. Good thing I still go for the Lexus CT 200h because this is a very good substitute to the idiotic HS 250h.

Indeed yes. I would chose the CT 200h rather than the useless HS 250h because by the numbers, the CT 200h is cheaper and more efficient than the HS 250h. Let's admit it.

Right. Anyway, let's proceed and whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

Mitsubishi i-MiEV Evolution - front three-quarter view

See anything here? That's a Mitsubishi i MiEV prepped up for Pikes Peak Hillclimb. It's called the i MiEV Evolution. Says here that the i-MiEV Evolution uses the same motor, drive battery and other major components as the production i and has been developed in cooperation with several partner companies including Meidensha Corporation and GS Yuasa Corporation. The i-MiEV Evolution has been developed to showcase MMC's advanced EV control and EV component technologies. MMC will use the technical knowhow garnered through the i-MiEV Evolution's development and usage for the development of future EV models with superior durability and reliability.


Oh.... A Mitsubishi i MiEV gaining the Evo moniker? i MiEV Evo? This is a bonkers name but it was one of the dullest competitors of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. Imagine if I would put that on tarmac, gravel, and snow, that i MiEV Evo would be somewhat MEGA redundant. If anyone saw this i MiEV Evo overtook you, you wouldn't blame that you got lost by someone smaller than your rally car you're driving.

(laughing)

No idea what that is but that i MiEV Evo was too...too...rubbish. What's next? A Nissan Leaf with the GT-R power?

(laughing)

Anyway, the true final volume of Negmia, which is Volume 38, is now on sale. Anyway, I'm sure most fans were very sad to see their favorite manga, which inspired a television anime series, several video anime releases, a live-action series, a film, and a few manga spinoffs, came to a complete finish. Ken Akamatsu-sensei wrote a final comment on the final volume and he said that Negima is done for now.

(awwww)

He said that "To put it like Chao (a character in the series), the ending in this volume is only one from a number of different parallel worlds," He even told that some untold secrets are hidden to last a hundred volumes. 


Oh, I see. That ending of the final Negima volume is simple as saying farewell to Chao and it's only one from a number of different worlds. Did he said "untold mysteries"?

Um...I'm not sure but anyway, keep up the good work Akamatsu-sensei. What I'm expecting is hoping to see some Negima animes remastered for Blu-Ray. Too bad there wasn't such thing as a Negima Blu-Ray copies...Too bad...

(awww)

Anyway, let's Personalan about this. Speaking of Personalan, we're very glad to see actresses Jean Garcia and Jolina Magdanal-Escueta being the new faces of the reality show that addresses anger management (and also involves throwing of plates in walls). It now has a different title PERSONALAN: ANG UNANG HAKBANG. A different title, different presenters, same Personalan we'd expect to address the issues of different people who are...um...let's be honest, it's known to be a BORING rip-off of TV5's Face To Face. It's like Fifth Gear which is a boring rip-off of Top Gear.

Boring? How come you watching Personalan every weekdays on GMA News TV?

Um...I don't know. Only interested to people throwing plates...

(laughing)

Oh jeez...What if I throw my plate on your face?

(laughing)

Anyway, I got reports the TV5 plans two global channels that compete against ABS-CBN's The Filipino Channel and GMA Pinoy TV. That revelation will be announced when TV5's variety show, Wil Time Big Time, goes to Los Angeles this May 26 and San Francisco this June 2.

Whoa there! What global TV5 channels will be?

Says here they'll be launching KapatidTV5 and AKSYONTV International. Two new channels from TV5 that will target Filipinos living in USA, Europe, Middle East, and Asia. Not sure what that is but the good thing is, we can now watch our TV5 faves such as Talentadong Pinoy, Face to Face, Lokomoko, Wil Time Big Time, and other TV5 shows overseas!

Great! Now anyway, bad news. While the Philippines vs. China issue is in the boiling point, I got news that China tourist booking cancellations extend until "early 2013".


That's too rude. At least, it was China's fault for arguing an island that was supposed to be ours for the taking. Last week's protest against Chinese embassies worldwide really sparked outrage to the Chinese government.

Yeah, and some say most will boycott Chinese products as part of it. Because of the whole Scarborough scandal, most Filipinos will turn away from everything that is MADE IN CHINA.

Uh...excuse me, MADE IN CHINA? There are lots of stuff that are made in China. Even stuff which are branded by Americans, Europeans, Japanese, and Koreans has labels MADE IN CHINA on it. Even PVC figures has the MADE IN CHINA mark on it. Maybe this isn't a good idea.

Oh, and speaking of which, if you're going for some anime convention somewhere, here's a simple rule. DON'T TELL YOUR CHICK TO COSPLAY AS FAN RININ!

(laughing)

What?!

Don't cosplay Rin! Rin's Chinese and if anybody saw your gal cosplaying as Fan Rinin, they would beat your girl to death.

(laughing)

That's a precaution. Don't tell your gal to dress as Fan Rinin. That's a piece of advice. Thank You.

(laughing)

Anyway, I got updates about Jessica Sanchez and it seems luckily she's on the Top 2! Now that's a new record! Our Filipina made it to the final 2!


I'm impressed to see her made it that far. Now on American Idol's season finale, let's support Jessica all the way to the very end!

(applause)

Nice job Jessica! We're very proud of you!

Anyway, last year we pushed a BMW Z4 GT3 with Hatsune Miku decor by Forza Faithful, Akasaka Mitsuke, and now he made the exact replica of the GSR&Studie with TeamUKYO Hatsune Miku BMW Z4 as seen on the 2012 Super GT season, driven by Nobuteru Taniguchi and Tatsuya Kataoka.





I never knew that a highly skilled Forza painter really replicated the latest Good Smile Racing Z4 as seen from the 2012 Super GT season. Arigatou Gozaimasu!

And that's the news!
