Space City Art

Art Throb's Space City Art

We got another art lesson with Banana Split's Art Throb and this time he taught us how to make a Space City Art with the use of Styrofoam, lots of paper plates, carton from tissue paper, pingpong balls, and various items. First, get a Styrofoam, put the tissue paper carton as a pole that serves as a foundation, place some paper plates, whatever I didn't get any of that but that's how a Space City Art goes.

ANG TV PATROL TEXT JOKE:

John: Oh, Rasheed, ikaw pala yan! Kamusta ka na? Nag-aaral ka pa ba?

Rasheed: Opo, college na po ako!

John: Talaga? Ano ang kinukuha mo?

Rasheed: Kaldero po!

Railgun PSP game to arrive this late November

It says it all. The upcoming To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game will hit stores this November 2011 and this game is more like a visual novel to them. Check out the first screenshot of this game;

Looks nice, right? Some say, that limited edition packaging will include a Kuroko Shirai figma courtesy of Max Factory. Looks like we'll better start saving for this kind of packaging right before the late November release of the Railgun PSP game!

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 7

Earlier, my computer's being mugged by some hacker who lives at Egypt and it left a message saying "Hyundai Veloster ad music" on it. What should I know? I don't know that. I managed to run away from that question and this time, time for another emergency meeting. Which means, I am talking about another set of 5 Driving Musics recommended on your car audio if you are a car enthusiasts who loves listening to car commercial songs, so listen up and here it is;

5) Titans by Vangelis from Alexander OST is the song used in the Nissan Elgrand 10th Anniversary TV commercial. iTunes has one.

4) Be my Baby by Complex is the song used on the Toyota SERA commercial since 1991 and the Toyota bB commercial since late 2008.

3) One of a Kind by MiChi is the song used on the Subaru Dex commercial since 2008.

2) Someday by EXILE is the song used on the Toyota WISH commercial since 2009.

1) Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle is the song used on the Subaru Pleo commercial since 2002.

Well, enough for that. If someone hacked my computer once more, we're doing this thing over and over until one of you stopped Google searching for car commercial songs because those "Mindless Masters" would do that too.

SKYACTIV crossover

Mazda CX-5

The first Mazda crossover to be armed with the SKYACTIV technology, the Mazda CX-5, has been previewed for Frankfurt launch and it will be on sale worldwide next year. Necessarily, the CX-5 is the production version of the Mazda Minagi Concept, a crossover inspired from the Shinari concept sedan that applied the new Kodo -Soul in Motion- Design Philosophy. Some say, the new CX-5 will be powered with either a SKYACTIV gasoline engine or a new SKYACTIV diesel engine. Do you think it will sell here in the Philippines soon once it was debuted in Frankfurt and in Tokyo soon?

BMW Z4 (E89) - Forza 3 Owner's View

This is how a bad businessman parks...

The Japan-only BMW Z4 Silver Top has arrived!

FINAL IMPRESSION: The second generation BMW Z4 (E89) is definitely one of my favorite Bimmers in the Forza Motorsport franchise. When it was debuted on this game via the Jalopnik Car Pack, we weren't surprised that we have gotten a chance to try out the E89.

If it wasn't for its good looks and cunning agility, none of us would have been addicted to the E89. Speaking of which, remember the special edition, Japan-only, BMW Z4 Silver Top? Yes you can mimic that by painting the E89's roof silver and the whole body black. There are tons of customization that are welcomed to Forza players who fell in love with the second generation BMW Z4. It's worth attempting it.

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

There I said it. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE! Why? Because reports said that the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, launched in the Philippines last week, had every last model sold out. Or should I say, all limited units of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe are all been spoken for, in short, SOLD OUT! Wow, that was quick.

The first two units were spoken for while the following six would arrive from 4th quarter 2011. Remember, production of the 1-Series M Coupe is limited until December 2011 so better wish to have one of these!

See the difference - 2012 Daihatsu Move Custom RS vs. 2011 Move Custom RS

2011 Daihatsu Move Custom RS

2012 Daihatsu Move Custom RS

This is much more fun to spot the difference but not now. For the 2012 Daihatsu Move Custom RS, the difference can be seen on the alloy wheels. Although, we do kinda miss the good alloy wheel design from the 2011 Move Custom RS because it looks nice. Now the new alloy wheels for the 2012 Daihatsu Move Custom RS kinda reminds me of those from the 2012 Subaru Stella Custom R Limited S but the alloy wheel design looks redundant and misleading.

The good news is that the 2012 Move Custom RS's fuel economy has just increased slightly. Previously the 2011 Move Custom RS 2WD's fuel economy weighs in 22.0km/L but now, the 2012 Move Custom RS 2WD's fuel economy gained an additional 0.5km/L, making it eligible for Japan's "Eco Car Genzei" system.

A Japanese actor got sacked due to racist remarks against the Koreans...

Yesterday, I received a news that a Japanese actor got sacked by his agency because of his racist remarks by Twitter. In general, a Japanese actor by the name of Sousuke Takaoka got sacked by his agency, Stardust Promotion, because his tweets offended the trend of Hallyu (Korean Wave). In fact, that Japanese actor must have hate everything Korean (from K-Pop music, Korean celebs, Korean dramas and so on).

Takaoka said he accuses Japanese TV network, Fuji TV (famous for airing the One Piece and Dragon Ball animes), for airing too many Korean shows, calling this network an all-Korean channel. It happened in July 23, 2011, when that actor refused watching Fuji TV because he claims that this Japanese TV network is too Korean. He said that Korean programs brainwashed many Japanese youth and made them real bad. That was the reason why Sousuke Takaoka got kicked out by Stardust Promotion since July 28.

With Takaoka fired, we may believed that this Japanese had started the whole anti-hallyu revolution. With that, some Japanese netizens want to follow what Sousuke Takaoka did. They want TV ratings to be dropped and they want to target against everything Korean. Some say, they will use the date, August 8, 2011, as their Day of Rage. Their Day of Rage is simple; stop watching Fuji TV in order for their ratings to drop.

Scoop: http://www.soompi.com/news/talk-of-the-town-antikorean-wave

Japanese people are one of the foreign people who got hooked on the Hallyu (Korean Wave). They're like us. We love the Hallyu. We love K-POP, we love Korean celebs, we love Korean dramas, and we also love Korean cars (well at least the Japanese used to).

Back then, there was Hyundai in Japan but in late 2009, Hyundai decided to withdraw the Japanese market due to poor sales and focusing more on the Hyundai Universe bus. Fortunately, sale of Korean-made cars is not the last of it because GM Japan just launched the Korean-made Chevrolet Captiva for the first time in Japan. Also coming soon is the Chevrolet Sonic, known in world markets as the new Chevrolet Aveo.

If Japanese people ended up hating the Hallyu, well fine because if you do, you're missing out all of these. Stop the hating! Please! We're only doing this to keep this whole Korea-Japan friendship safe from those lifeless people who hate the Korean Wave.
