Les frères Tulfo sont là pour vous aider!

Bonjour! It seems that TV5's NEWS5 division is raising the bar even further by bringing the three Tulfo brothers for the first time on the new program "T3: Kapatid, Sagot Kita".

C'est vrai, viewers! For the first time, Erwin, Ben, and Raffy Tulfo joined forces to bring you the best "public service" we want. All your problems and complaints are now being answered and taken action by the Tulfo brothers. This will put XXX and Imbestigador to shame, even though these three are not on the same timeslots.

Despite that, I hope T3 will do the same success as ABS-CBN's XXX and GMA's Imbestigador did, when it comes to take immediate action against wrongdoings that are highly common around the Philippines.

Get ready because T3 will start airing this Monday, September 5, right after Aksyon Prime!

Flashback: The only thing we miss JOMO is Yuko Takeuchi

Last year, with the rise of JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, Eneos acquired and merged Jomo, and with the following, all Jomo gas stations in Japan are switched into Eneos gas stations. Of course, some Japanese drivers who frequently visit JOMO all they way until Summer 2010, when most JOMO stations are now Eneos stations, will surely miss the only special person that encouraged them to go to JOMO. We know she's female and she's one of the finest Japanese actresses. Her name is Yuko Takeuchi (竹内結子).


My gosh, she looks nice on that ad. I sure miss JOMO but don't worry. She was also part of being one of the endorsers of ENEOS aside from Seattle Mariners player, Ichiro.


All grown up but better than Tween Hearts?

It was Sunday, September 4, 2011, when ABS-CBN aired an all-new teen-oriented TV drama, titled Growing Up. This new teen drama stars ABS-CBN's best tween stars such as Kathryn Bernardo (Mara from Mara Clara), Julia Montes (Clara from Mara Clara), Neil Coleta, Daniel Padilla, Ej Jallorina, Diego Loyzaga, Yen Santos, Kiray Celis and special participation of Maricar Reyes (Sam from Imortal) as Ms. Ortega, a teacher/coach of a beach volleyball club where the main teens were on it.

This teen show is about friendship being tested by the times and these youngsters have got what it takes to be "Growing Up". Well, you know teenagers...

I've watched the first episode and it turned out to be great. Those tweens are highly appreciated about Growing Up. The tweens of ABS-CBN such as Kathryn, Julia, Neil, Daniel, EJ, Diego, Yen, and Kiray really showed their acting talents and oh, they're doing the very best they can.

Compare this newcomer with its rival, GMA's Reel Love presents Tween Hearts, and the results are on par but not now. Some say, they'll go back watching more Tween Hearts rather than seeing the all new Growing Up. Some say, they love the new Growing Up series, they'll watch it again. All we know is...it's up to you!

Official! Globe discontinues Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini Stick!

Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini stick

Globe Telecom officially announce that they will discontinue the sale of the Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini Stick during the recent scandal between Globe Telecom and fashion firm Tonino Lamborghini.

Well said, Globe spokesperson said that this company stop marketing and selling this high-speed broadband stick with HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access-plus) technology. This shouldn't be a problem because Globe continues to sell normal Tattoo broadband sticks while resolving the copyright infringement case.

Good thing I did not have this one and if I do, I would get caught by the Italian authorities. Lucky for some, they didn't have one because either they have normal Globe Tattoo broadband sticks or probably because they have something way faster than Globe Tattoo...it's SMART BRO Plug-Its (from Starter, Power, to the flagship Rocket Plug-It).

Ang Munting Mahadera...?!

Nope, this isn't "Ang Munting Heredera". Ang Munting Mahadera is a two-part feature from the best horror-comedy anthology on GMA, Spooky Nights. In "Ang Munting Mahadera", Roderick Paulate plays the role of a single father who goes back to his mother's house with his twin daughters. What he didn't realize that he's a homosexual and he tries to keep his secret from his mother, only one thing that his mother can smell his secret about his divorce with his wife.

Luz Valdez and Barbara Miguel from Ang Munting Heredera also starred on this two-part feature as well.

Because this is Spooky Nights, there's bound to be scares and laughs combined. It's for only two Saturday nights for the month of September.

Jaguar XF Minor Change


2012 Jaguar XF

When it was released in 2008 as a 2009 model and it replaced the redundant S-Type, the Jaguar XF throw a curve in the executive premium midsize sedan category and it chooses the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Hyundai Genesis, Chrysler 300, Toyota Crown, and the Lexus GS as its suitable rivals. As years pass by, it seems that Jaguar XF has grown out of style because its rivals are growing up to be more stylish, more functional, more powerful, and more luxurious than the Jaguar XF, and then, Jaguar Land Rover finally went back to the drawing board to give the 3-year-old premium midsize sedan a second chance by offering the Jaguar XF its mid-life minor change. With such minor change, the new Jaguar XF achieves a new front view similar to the new Jaguar XJ while it garnered a new side profile and a revised rear view to complete its overall wish list to become as gorgeous as its rivals from distant places.


2012 Jaguar XF interior

Aside from the exterior changes, the interior of the Jaguar XF's mildly revised to meet the style standards. A new Super Vision Cluster and a new steering wheel really adds a nice touch to the driver's side. Consider it a "Driver's High" to the new Jaguar XF because the improved elegance, inside and out, is just something you can savor at it. What's even more interesting is the Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound System with 17-speakers, which provides high-definition audio quality to the passengers who are music lovers. Also, there is a special navigation system loaded with the cool virtual CD multichanger that brings the driver an ability to rip up to 10 audio CDs into the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). You could say that, for example, you can rip 10 of your favorite anime CDs while cruising around with the Jaguar XF. This is all about taking chances...

New to the Jaguar XF is an all new "2.2 LITRE i4 DIESEL" engine. The new diesel engine provides 190PS of power output, 450Nm of torque, compression ratio of 15.8:1, 0-100kph in 8 seconds, top speed of 225kph, and combined fuel economy of 52.3MPG (18.5km/L). It achieves the lowest Carbon Dioxide emissions of 149.0g/km. This new engine is focused to be more "eco" than other luxury sedans in the market and the new XF will keep its eco-promise because of its Euro V compliance. Also available were the 3.0 V6 Diesel engine that produces 240 PS of power, 3.0 V6 Diesel S engine that provides 275 PS of power, and the flagship 5.0 V8 gasoline engine that provides 385 PS of power. Diesel engine variants are equipped with the all new 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox for the first time in Jaguar history. The new gearbox provides the fastest gear change in 200 milliseconds, which is faster than the average human resting heartbeat, and thanks to its lightweight technology, the new transmission weighs the same as the previous six-speed transmission (retains in the 5.0 V8 variant). There is one fact that the all new "2.2 LITRE i4 DIESEL" gets the first-of-its-kind idling stop system that allows the engine to be shut off in 300 milliseconds when the car's stopped.

XFR
2012 Jaguar XFR

The high-performance British premium saloon, the Jaguar XFR, gets a minor change also thanks to its new grille, new bumpers, new rims, revised rear, and the revised interior. It is powered with the 5.0 V8 engine plus supercharger that provides 510 PS of power, 625 Nm of torque, 250 km/h of top speed, 4.9 seconds in a 0-100km/h run, and combined fuel economy of 8km/L (22.5MPG). It is mated with a six-speed semi-automatic transmission with Manual Mode.

Depending on the variant, you can choose one of the following color variations such as Polaris White, Italian Racing Red Metallic, Kyanite Blue Metallic, Lunar Grey Metallic, Rhodium Silver Metallic, Midnight Black Metallic, Ebony, Caviar Metallic, Claret Metallic, Cashmere Metallic, Tiaga Green Metallic, Azurite Blue Metallic, and Crystal Blue Metallic.

My comment:
The Jaguar XF's minor change really achieved a much elegant face as seen from its Jaguar XJ big brother and it also gained an all new 2.2L diesel engine suitable to be a full-fledged eco-car. The all new 8-speed gearbox mated on diesel versions of the XF minor change really works like a charm unlike the previous 6-speed gearbox. All that's left is one question...Can the Jaguar XF minor change hit the Philippines soon?

Expect we can't get the new 8-speed gearbox anytime soon because most of these are Euro V compliant and it will be impossible to place it on a Euro II compliant country like the Philippines.

2011 Citroen Tubik Concept


Oh my...

The Citroen Tubik Concept, to be unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show this month, showcases the future of the Citroen TUB van. It is part of Citroen's Multicity Project that shows the future of mobility.

Could the Tubik concept hints us the future of Citroen commercial vans or is it just for explanations. For me, one look of the Tubik concept's face looks like a gas mask. (Laugh). I can almost imagining why would Citroen made such a odd-looking concept car that shows the future of mobility...


Dubai Version Raptor - 6 doors!



Now that's insane! Dubai Version Ford F-150 SVT Raptor gets six doors! I don't know who's responsible with this insane modification but this is one heck of a Raptor we're dreaming to see. Because this is Dubai Version, we can only see this kind on United Arab Emirates (UAE).

I'm impressed....

"Surf 5 in 1" vs. "Bonux 3 in 1"

I should notice about one product that Ogie Alcasid tweeted to his followers on twitter saying:

"Bonux 3 in 1 panglaba! Available nabat 5 pesos Lang!"

It was like what was that? Until I saw this ad...



It's a new product launched from Procter & Gamble Philippines and this product fuses the uses of bleach, powder, and fabric conditioner. This product was guaranteed to keep clothes smell fresh and clean. It's like you're using all three (bleach, powder, and fabric conditioner) in one item! The suggested retail price is 5 pesos, guaranteed for the housewives to buy this one at their nearest sari-sari store!

However, there was one thing which is claimed to be much better than "Bonux 3 in 1" because this is 5-in-1 and it's from Unilever Philippines. This is Surf 5-in-1...oh wait it's a fabric conditioner...



Becuase it's a fabric conditioner, it only focused on softening clothes and making it fresh but because Surf 5-in-1 fabric conditioner now has "Fragrance Capsules", it releases longer lasting fragrance in your clothes. If I think it's "5-in-1", I might think that this is super effective than the new "Bonux 3 in 1".

I'm confused... If 5-in-1 is better than 3-in-1, is Surf definitely better than Bonux?
