Daily Servings also enjoying Baguio madness!

Not only last Saturday enjoying Banana Split's 2nd Year Anniversary at Baguio, this weekday afternoons, Banana Split gets cooler and cooler for this special week with more Baguio jokes, Mutanglawin trivia, exploring Korean culture in Baguio with Ryan Bang, more Krissy for you, more, and more for this special week!

Hope I'll catch up with these Baguio-filled fun only on Banana Split!

Spend a date with Yururi... a Passo Yururi special edition that is...

2011 Toyota Passo Yururi

At September 29, 2010, Toyota unveiled a special Passo with the special exterior color that was once available only from the Passo +Hana variant. Called the "Yururi", this special edition features a bench seat (once I can commonly see it in a two-tone color from the Passo +Hana variants) wrapped in some plain gray color. For convenience, a key-free system is added for easy access.

Seems the color seems to be bland, but OK for the eyes of a female driver. Aside from the colors offered from the original Passo, the color "Azuki Mica" is available. Great, what girls want is the Uguisu Metallic color as found on the Passo +Hana.

If I was a schoolgirl, I would gladly get my hands on such a girl magnet car. Expect limited availability for this car!

Eh? Toyota mulls Daihatsu-sourced kei cars?

Recently, I bumped into some news coming out in some Japanese car sites.


In translation: In 2011, Toyota will start selling kei-cars sourced from Daihatsu, or in another reason, Toyota mulls OEM kei cars from Daihatsu, starting from the Move Conte, the Hijet (anyone remembered that?), and another one that will be soon to be launched from Daihatsu.

Toyota plans kei cars from Daihatsu? Keep that in mind that Subaru already sells kei cars sourced from Daihatsu such as the Dias Wagon (based on the Atrai Wagon), the Lucra (based from the Tanto Exe), and the second-generation Pleo (sourced from the Mira), due to the partnership between Toyota Group and Fuji Heavy Industries. Seems that the partnership between Toyota and Daihatsu takes on a new level.

Eh? Blackberry takes on the iPad?

Recently, I picked up some news that Blackberry, famous for their cellphone range, launched their take on the fastest-selling Apple iPad with the new Blackberry PlayBook.


Slated for sale next year, will this new gadget be a hit against the iPad? I think not because my first dent will be the sizing. The Apple iPad's screen is way bigger than the Blackberry PlayBook.

Guess I won't be expecting to see it when it arrives next year. I'll go stick with the iPad because this is way better.

Death of a Segway tycoon

Segway, a popular two-wheel vehicle, is a fun ride for those who are had it with their bikes or scooters. Some people know that Segways are fun to ride, some think that Segways eco-friendly, others think that Segways are boring due to slow speed.

The most trending news in the Segway history is the death of the man responsible for running the Segway business, Jimi Heselden.


Jimi Heselden OBE, age 62, died in an accident with his own Segway. Seems that the his Segway killed the CEO. How tragic and ironic.

Rest In Peace Mr. Segway CEO. Most Segway fanatics who read about this news should be careful while taking a spin on their Segway.

...and then there were fewer.

Besides, are there any Segways sold in the Philippines?

Bulilit Chacha looks more of a jejemon on He's Beautiful spoof?

Chacha, as Mi-nam, in He's Beautiful spoof

What? Chacha (who is the bulilit from the Camella Homes commercial from 2009) looks more of a Jejemon in the Goin Bulilit-gagged version of the hit Korean drama, He's Beautiful, called Sis Beautiful.

Chacha's take on Go Mi-Nam, a nun who was asked by the A.N. Jell manager to be the replacement lead singer of the band, seems to be sporting her Jejemon look. Heh? A wild jejemon is appeared on Goin Bulilit? On the spoof of He's Beautiful?! How can we been so... ah you'll see.

J3j3jejE!!!

C1-00

Nokia C1-00


Nokia's first dual-sim phone, the C1-00, might seem to have a familiar feature found in most myphone cellphones, but this is Nokia's first of its kind to give cellphone users the free will to use two sims in one phone.

Perfect for those who want to use two sims, even when you're in side on two rival telecommunication companies, Smart and Globe, or even its subsidiaries such as Touch Mobile or Red Mobile. Imagine yourself keeping a secret to someone, the first sim you'll have is for your common pals, and the second one is for your secret buddies. Would that be nice to have this phone carrying two sims for your privacy? This dual-sim phone brings personal privacy to its personal taste.

Aside from its dual-sim functionality, the Nokia C1-00 features some entry-level features such as texting, calling, and normal ringtones. Also, the FM Radio (headset required) makes it a good addition to the C1-00. Good for those who want to listen to their favorite FM stations on the go.

The Nokia C1-00 comes in two exterior colors, red and blue, respectively, and I hope there will be changeable covers for Nokia's first dual-sim phone. But still, I would go for the myphone range because not only has dual-sim features, it has host of colorful features.

Car jokes on Lokomoko...

The knock knock jokes the granny used on Lokomoko U's Talentadong Family last night were based on car brands such as Mitsubishi, Mazda, Hyundai, and Kia.











Aside from those car brands mentioned by Granny's knock knock jokes on Talentadong Family, another car joke comes out from the "of mice and jokes" portion of Lokomoko U called Keso City.

One mouse who is Rainier Castillo mentioned the car-rat jokes. He mentioned "Mouse-da" and "Nissan Rat-rol". He meant to say those new models out in the Philippines such as the Mazda 2 (known as the Demio in Japan) and the Nissan Patrol Royale.





Another mouse, who is Caloy Alde, mentioned another one. He said "Ford Mouse-tang". He meant to say Ford Mustang (cool car, but I still prefer the new Chevy Camaro anyway).

And another mouse, that is Empoy, mentioned a European car brand. He said "Mouse-cedes Benz". Yup, that's Mercedes-Benz but he mentioned something high-end. Could it be the S-Class? I think it is because it is Mercedes-Benz's high-end saloon.


These mice can't get enough of spilling out some mice jokes on Lokomoko U's Keso City.

Also on that night's Lokomoko U, gags at the lodge, another Star Factory segment on how to paint a beautiful painting, Blue singing the blues in this tear-dropping episode of Bahaw Ikalawang Hain, and yes, more wrong-guessing laugh trip with Christopher (JC De Vera) and Fermin (Rainier Castillo) on Pinoy Brainless.

Cheche Bureche once again...

That night's episode on Bubble Gang focuses on the cavalier battle gags, a hardware vending machine, karate lessons for the housewives, a man following the trends of today, more from the kings of lip-sync, Moymoy Palaboy and Roadfill (hey, what's Mykah doing in IyoTube?), Cinderella faces the jury, surprise party, and some poor-themed fashion colors.

And of course, episode four of the new Bubble Gang sketch, Cheche Bureche. In this episode, Cheche (Ogie Alcasid) is eating cookies and drinking milk while Bureche (Michael V) collected ants for her scheme to take out Cheche. Bureche told Cheche to bring her a softdrink. While Cheche is getting a softdrink, Bureche poured the ants on Cheche's cookies and milk, but suddenly, Dad (Antonio Aquitania) comes home. It seems that the daddy got mad at Cheche because why did she gets a softdrink. After all, Bureche ate all of the ant-infested cookies and milk. Another ARRRGGHHH for Bureche! LOL

Seitokais are hot and cool

The anime titled Seitokai Yakuindomo



Best Student Council (Gokujo Seitokai)




Seitokai no Ichizon



As most otakus watched, the term "Seitokai" or "Student Council" is probably the most interesting topic because not only a "seitokai" or a "student council" has the most interesting stuff, but also something hot, something bold, something humorous, and something...something. Something I would rather bite my lips out of their student council's reactions.

In some animes, a character who is a "seitokaichou" or "student council president" is sometimes a bigger rave among otakus everywhere. Like for instance,

Misaki Ayuzawa from Maid-sama



or even my favorite, Hinagiku Katsura from Hayate the Combat Butler



See what I mean?! I guess seitokais are hot and cool in a different kind of perspective. (Laugh) Who knows if some absent-minded male gets a shot at a nearby all-female student council, the result might be typical for otakus like us. (Laugh) You just got lucky to meet with those super-hot seitokais.

Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama! OST 2

Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama! OST 2

When the last time Maid-sama anime watchers bought the OST of this anime, and henceforth saying the question, "Can you spice these up?"

With the Maid-sama finale draws near, the second part of the original soundtrack of the popular anime, Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama!, is now here. Packed with even more anime BGMs, most will relieve the interesting anime about a student council president, Misaki Ayuzawa, who has a secret job as a maid at some maid cafe called Maid Latte.

Ha ha ha, to think that we want something to spice it up like Misaki's omuraisu that says ウザイ (uzai, annoying) in front of us, this second part is truly the apple of the eye for relieving the entire Maid-sama story in their own ears. For an extra, the TV-sized version of the new closing theme, ∞Loop by Heidi, is added, but for those who want the full version, this song is sold separately as a maxi single.

Best to buy it before catching the Maid-sama finale that will surely go M3 (Malay Mo, Ma-develop).
