Balloons and BOMB-ILYA

A GIANT BALLOON!


When Mang Ben (Jayson Gainza) accidentally knocked off the ice cream the boy (Igi Boy Flores) who is eating at, how can he can repay the minor accident to the boy. Giving him a balloon of course! Mang Ben gets a small white balloon but the boy didn't want so Mang Ben finds something big...much much BIGGER! The boy was happy about the balloon when suddenly, the giant balloon flew alongside with the boy! Uh-oh!

BOMBA + SILYA = BOMBILYA!

With the balloon problem, who needs BOMBILYA?! Just ask Alpha Bert (Jobert) of course! You need a SILYA to do that and also the BOMBA. For the SILYA, remove the S. For the BOMBA, remove the A. Combine BOMB and ILYA and its BOMBILYA! Light bulb at your service!

Is "asking a question what is the title of the song in a car commercial" became a habit among car enthusiasts?

These are all too common for car enthusiasts. When they watched a good car commercial on TV and later when they hear vocals on the car commercial, car enthusiasts start asking this;

"WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE SONG PLAYED ON A CAR COMMERCIAL?"

This question irritates me. It's so O.A. and degrading. Why would car enthusiasts like us want to find the title of the song played in various car commercials? For what, just so they can find it and steal it to hear it? Face it, most of the car enthusiasts from around the world doing this modus operandi every day.

This goes like this. Suppose that most of them watched the latest Hyundai Tucson iX Korean commercial, then they hear lyrics like something something "lipstick" and spurting out the question "what was the title of the song?" and replied "Lipstick by Jedward". After getting the answer, he/she will Google search for that song and want to find it on file-hosting sites to download that song from the car commercial without spending a little penny. Isn't that hurtful? 

There's also a case like this, when they saw the Japanese Lexus CT 200h commercial and hearing a beautiful song, boom goes the car enthusiast. The car enthusiast is asking what was that song but nothing replied until a few months ago, the song played on the Lexus CT 200h ad was released as a track from a certain album we know it as Boom and the title of the song was "Here I Am" by Maia Hirasawa. Boom goes the dynamite. They want to Google search that and snatch that song without knowing it.

Another situation I am familiar was the song played on the Nissan Juke commercial in Japan. In that ad, the commercial has the funky song sung by Orianthi and (my gosh, here they come) the song was Sunshine of your Love Juke Mix, included in the Japanese version of Orianthi's album, Believe II. Car enthusiasts want to find it as a torrent and get that song only.

What about tie-ups? The Mitsubishi Adventure commercial starring Parokya Ni Edgar which the song played was The Yes Yes Show, Japanese Toyota Isis commercials that has Miki Imai since 2009 and now Hideaki Tokunaga, Honda Zest Spark with Ayumi Hamasaki, Suzuki Solio with KAT-TUN, and some commercials which feature stars who sang the car commercial songs. Yes, car enthusiasts would go gaga for those and they are crude enough to get those car commercial songs without spending a straw penny.

Today's music industry is somewhat bright or so they thought but digital piracy is a common thing. People find ways to get songs without spending a straw penny. Mark my words,
CAR ENTHUSIASTS ARE THE NUMBER ONE CULPRITS BEHIND MUSIC PIRACY! 

When car commercials playing good songs, car enthusiasts unexpectedly Google search and steal it like a thief at the night.

When will this habit put to an end? Can commercial agencies responsible for the car commercials counteract against car enthusiasts by putting original BGM on car commercials? It's not forever and more and more car enthusiasts find ways to get those car commercial songs without wasting their wallets. Shame on them because they want to fuel their passion for cars at the expense of the music industry. They are ruining that more than ruining their spare parts and there is no bolt-on kit for searching it. When the next time you saw a car commercial and when you hear lyrics, you guys better shut up and don't ask an irritating question on what is the song played on the car commercials. Common sense and budgeting is the only way and Google searching, torrent-ing and others won't help you find the answer to your questions. Stay out and relax.

Latest Daihatsu Move Conte commercial does TNP27!

With the introduction of the 2012 Daihatsu Move Conte and Move Conte Custom minor change since June 6, 2011, Daihatsu released a TV commercial for the new Conte and OMG, this one does TNP27 except the new Conte is not TNP27 (because the fuel economy is 25.5km/L) even if it has Eco Idle (same as the fifth-generation Move).




Coincidence?

Daihatsu Move Conte Commercial

Daihatsu Move Commercial

Whoa! These commercials are far too TNP-ism! Seems that the Move Conte minor change wants to follow the same steps as the fifth-generation Move because of its Eco Idle function.

I heard that Toyota is planning their own version of the Move Conte this autumn and with that, this will be a possibility but I hope they won't wind up just like the Subaru Stella because they didn't offer the turbocharged RS variant.

Daihatsu Move Conte and Move Conte Custom - Phase II

2012 Daihatsu Move Conte

2012 Daihatsu Move Conte Custom

Launched in August 25, 2008, the Daihatsu Move Conte is the squarish member of the Daihatsu family designed and engineered for the smartest drivers in Japan. It was separated into two kinds; the standard Move Conte for the simple living drivers, especially women, and the elegant Move Conte Custom for those who want a touch of class. Get ready for the spectacular twist because for the 2012 Model Year, both the Move Conte and the Move Conte Custom are now on its biggest minor change yet.

On the standard Move Conte, you will be greeted by a new front design that is somewhat cute to look at it. On the Move Conte Custom, elegance has progressed because of the new front design inspired from the second-generation Daihatsu Tanto Custom but on the back, the "CUSTOM" paneling was shelved. No matter which of these Conte you'll choose, you will still be greeted with the upgraded KF engine that produces 52PS/7,200rpm of power, 6.1kg-m/4,000rpm of torque, and 23.0km/L of fuel economy.

There is a major major news happened to the 2012 Move Conte X and the 2012 Move Conte Custom G because the Idle Stop and Go feature known as "Eco Idle", first applied on the fifth generation Daihatsu Move and Move Custom since December 2010, is now applied, providing an optimized fuel economy of 25.5km/L. Needless to say, the new-for-2012 Move Conte has the right to be applied TNP25.5 because of its Eco Idle feature that brings the 660cc KF to a complete shutoff when stopped at the red light. This is the second Daihatsu model to be equipped with the idling stop function. Don't forget that when you're out there.

My Comment:


The Move Conte and Move Conte Custom's minor change received the much awaited Eco Idle function that provides the exceptional fuel economy of 25.5km/L. Maybe this new Move Conte tries to follow the footsteps of the TNP27 Move but we'll see if the new 2012 Move Conte will achieve its lifelong dream of becoming the most fuel efficient kei car from Daihatsu. Good luck and enjoy the new idling stop function, Move Conte.

Moshidora (Movie) Original Soundtrack

Moshi Koko Yakyu no Joshi Manager ga Drucker no 'Management' o Yondara
Original Sound Track


Since Moshidora (日本名:もしドラ) shown in theaters in June 4, 2011, and stars AKB48's Atsuko Maeda as Minami Kawashima, the substitute manager of the high school's baseball team who was inspired from the quotes of Peter Drucker's Management book she mistakenly bought at the bookstore, more and more viewers were inspired from the teachings of Peter F. Drucker about "Management" and Minami Kawashima's inspiration brought us the true meaning of "leadership" by a home run. DRUCKER IN THE DUG OUT! A JAPANESE BASEBALL GIRL MEETS PETER DRUCKER!

The original soundtrack based on the inspirational movie that was based on last year's best seller novel, Moshidora, is packed with movie background musics as heard on the Moshidora movie. Original music score by Takayuki Hattori.

The BGMs are good enough to relieve the inspirational movie that inspires them to read Drucker's Management and find out how this book made a home run when it comes to leadership.

Hyundai Veloster in City Hunter



By interest, a Hyundai Veloster in Blue Ocean color appeared on SBS' action drama, City Hunter, which stars Korean heart throb, Lee Min Ho. Also by interest, this was the car Lee Min Ho used on the Veloster Relay Mission Show.

This "Blue Ocean" Veloster was a favorite among Veloster fans because they were huge fans of Lee Min-Ho.

When a Korean car appeared at a Korean drama which stars famous Koreans, fans made a perfect balance. The Veloster driven by Lee Min Ho in City Hunter was just what we Filipinos are saying "We want a Blue Ocean-colored Veloster because of Lee Min Ho!" and guess what, Hancars has one. The most respectful gray market dealer do have a Veloster but does Hancars have the Blue Ocean-colored Veloster like the one Lee Min Ho drove during the Veloster Relay Mission Show and City Hunter Korean Drama?

The "Touch Panel Audio" feature on the 2012 Suzuki MR Wagon/Nissan Moco

2012 Suzuki MR Wagon


2012 Nissan Moco

When we think about "touch screens", what goes on our mind? We are addicted to everything touchy. We often get hooked with our iPhones and iPod Touches because if it touches, it goes. How does a carmaker like Suzuki created the first "touch panel audio" exclusively on the new 2012 MR Wagon? It's simple, they want to create a feature so addicting that music lovers would love to "touch" it whatever they want. Despite the ugly exterior, both the new 2012 MR Wagon and its Nissan version, the 2012 Moco, provided one addicting feature that targets the music lovers. It's like the iPad minus the apps.

2012 Suzuki MR Wagon's Touch Panel Audio

Check out the video showing how does this "Touch Panel Audio" (タッチパネルオーディオ) work:



Wasn't that addicting to use the new "Touch Panel Audio" feature mounted on the 2012 Suzuki MR Wagon and 2012 Nissan Moco? Plug your iPod using the USB and this would be one heck of an enjoyment. Maybe this "MR" naming in the MR Wagon should have been called "Music Room" because of the addictive "Touch Panel Audio" feature.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (C204)

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe


2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe interior
Following with the minor change of the W204 C-Class, it seems that the C-Class based CLC-Class sports coupe is about to be replaced by the Benz's latest debutante, in celebration of the automaker's 125th anniversary. This is known to be the C-Class Coupe and it is essentially based on the W204 C-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe is the sportiest member of the C-Class range, which consists of the sedan and estate and this would be the best addition yet because it targets the Cadillac CTS Coupe, BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the Audi A5. One thing's for sure, the new C-Class Coupe is not merely a good alternative to those two but it can be a good addition to your garage full of Benz models.

On the C-Class Coupe, there is a new generation of telematics attached as seen on the W204 C-Class Sedan and Estate minor change. This new telematics gain internet access everywhere this car goes. It works only if the car is stationary such as stop at the red light or parking. Also, the navigation system provides a 3D view of cities and it makes it more innovative and fun to use for those that are on the go.

The standard AGILITY CONTROL suspension sharpens the C-Class Coupe's cornering perfection and the three-link front axle, multi-link independent rear suspension does the help to make it more fun and agile to turn.

The C-Class Coupe offers a 4-Cylinder CRDi Diesel engine (available at the C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and C250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY), a 4-cylinder petrol engine (C180 BlueEFFICIENCY and C250 BlueEFFICIENCY), and a 6-cylinder petrol engine (C350 BlueEFFICIENCY). Most models do come with the idling stop function for enhanced fuel efficiency and some models do outfitted with the 6-speed MT, or the 7G-TRONIC transmission.

C63 AMG Coupe


2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe


For those who want to make it most out of their extreme lives, there is also the new C63 AMG Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe is the suitable rival to the BMW M3, Audi RS5, and the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. If that comes, this would be a grueling death match between those high-performance coupes. Under the hood, the C63 AMG Coupe carries the M156 6.2L V8 natural aspiration engine that produces about 457PS of power, top speed of 250 km/h, and 0-100km in 4.5 seconds. It is mated with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-Speed transmission that features a manual mode for smooth shifting at all comers.

My comment:


Mercedes-Benz finally get their portfolio right by replacing the criticized CLC-Class with the new C-Class Coupe to meet the demands against the Cadillac CTS Coupe, BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the Audi A5. If only CATS Motors bring the new C-Class Coupe to the Philippines soon...

Remembering the "Arch Rivals"

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi


2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Yes, both the Subaru WRX STi and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution are both arch rivals but I surely miss those rides since I first encounter them in 2007 when both the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and the third-generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GRB) emerged in the Japanese market and later landed in the world market in 2008.

Both of these are fun to drives but with ages pass by, I think I surely forgotten the Arch Rivals, even I still remember one wild card I've encountered last July 2010.

2011 Subaru WRX STi 4-door (GVB)

That was the Subaru WRX STi 4-door (GVB/GVF). It was in Japan since July 2010 and I'm impressed about this one. Turns out, this one's can be easily forgotten because of the incoming fourth-generation Subaru Impreza coming soon.
