What if humans don't lie? What is acupuncture?

In "Ano Nga Kaya?" for the June 21, 2011 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings, Pooh explains what if people like us don't know how to lie...

Honest politician

This hurts a lot

Um... I can explain...

See? They don't lie... ANO NGA KAYA?

Also, Mutanglawin Kuya Keem explains what is acupuncture. What is acupuncture? To Kuya Keem, acupuncture is like mangkukulam. Doctors use real needles to the points of the patient's body. Yes, we are confused about "acupuncture" and "voodoo" for sure because...it's pointy.

Kuya Keem explains...

The Leader of The Human Resistance



2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE
And then it happened. I once met someone who claims to be "The Leader Of The Human Resistance" and yes "The Leader Of The Human Resistance" is known to be the all new 2011 Dodge Charger.

2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE

The kind of 2011 Charger is saw is the 3.6L SE variant (minus the Rallye packaging), the entry-level grade for the Charger equipped with the all new Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine. Gotta admit it that when I see a commercial for the 2011 Dodge Charger, I love the roaring sound of the 2011 Charger's V6 engine because it sounded more monstrous. What's even more monstrous is its face and yes, I love the new monster face of the 2011 Charger because of its aggressive stance.

2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE

What I also love is its rear view because it resembles like the Dodge Challenger sports car. Heh, seems it has something inherited from its "handsome brother". If the 2011 Charger's rear lamps lit, watch out! Things are going BANG BANG BANG or Hasta La Vista Baby! You may want to kiss your rival cars goodbye! (Laugh)

2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE

2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE

If I stare at the 2011 Charger's front face long enough, it made feel like I was smoking one Philip Morris 100's. Seems only a few people are getting scared after looking at the monstrous front view of the 2011 Dodge Charger but only the chosen many can bravely withstand its monstrous looks. I've seen only a few 2011 Dodge Chargers passing through the streets of Seattle, WA.

2011 Dodge Charger 3.6L SE

The 2011 Dodge Charger is best fitted with a Michelin tire because "the right tire changes everything" you know. The Leader Of The Human Resistance changed everything for the sake of style and performance. If we had one, we want to hear the monster roar of the 2011 Charger's Pentastar engine or the HEMI V8 engine. Better yet, we'll have to wait when will the new Charger SRT-8 arrive. ^_^

Got taste?

Mang Ben's Car Maintenance Havoc and a 2nd case for FASHION PULEZZZ

Here, let me fix that


When Mang Ben (Jayson Gainza) gets inside his owner type jeep, the engine can't start. While opening the hood, the jeep's battery had a problem. Later, Jobert with his Ford Focus approaches and Mang Ben explained the whole problem. Jobert readies with his some kind of electric apparatus until Jobert got electrified. With Jobert unconscious because of electricity, Mang Ben tries to revive him with the apparatus Jobert used. Jobert woke up and congratulates Mang Ben but both of them got electrified!

In case you missed it, Banana Split got themselves another FASHION VICTIM on FASHION (clicks) PULEZZZ! What's wrong with that way this victim dressed?

Fashion victim caught

Suppose you're a female, and what you dressed is highly disgracing. Why? You've dressed in gym pants, your T-shirt is worn in a weird way, and like what the FASHION PULEZZZ said, 

"you've dressed like you're in a shooting for UNKABOGABLE!"

Too retro? Sorry, you're caught by the FASHION PULEZZZ!

Another fashion victim caught
 What about this guy dressed in green shirt with some blue lines? Too ugly? Oh yes. You're going jail time, kid.

Hayate The Combat Butler Drama hits TV screens - Like it or not?

Hayate The Combat Butler TV Drama


If there's one thing why a Taiwanese TV network raises the hand to create a drama version of my ever favorite title of the manga that was serialized by Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday and aired in TV Tokyo for two seasons (not to mention the upcoming Heaven Is A Place On Earth movie coming this late August), well don't ask why they chose Hayate The Combat Butler as their base to create a drama version of the same title.

While witnessing the very first episode, it follows the same flow from the original story found on the manga and anime but with minor changes.

The parts that I like where Hayate rushes to Nagi when she was abducted by some kidnappers. When Nagi said Hayate's name loudly, an umbrella appeared unexpectedly and the kidnappers' car hit Hayate with full impact and a bit of slow motion and later bounced back and Hayate hit the kidnappers' car, causing him unconscious and the kidnappers caught by the guards. Also, the hot springs part, it only hurts when I laughed at the part when Maria yelled at Hayate after...you know, and she hit him with something. OUCH!

With George Hu, Park Shin Hye, Tia Li, and the others, I say that this is one fine masterpiece and this Hayate the Combat Butler TV drama aired last June 19, 2011 was the best in class. We'll be waiting for more to come and let's raise a glass for the hard work and determination done to bringing this favorite come to life.

Does it live it up to your expectations? Feel free to ask!

Bugatti Veyron - Forza 3 Owner's View

The mythological being watches over us


The Veyron's premium interior

Catch the Veyron if you can...



FINAL IMPRESSIONS: When you say the name "Veyron", what comes on your mind? Sure, the name Veyron is the fastest name given by Bugatti and the mythological being is known to be the king of exotics. The legendary Bugatti Veyron is the ultimate exotic that is known to be the number one car used by Forza Motorsport 3 owners because of its legendary power that holds.
In terms of drag racing, both a fully tuned Bugatti Veyron and a fully modified Datsun 510 can be somewhat fierce rivals in the Forza Motorsport 3 drag racing scene but let's just skip to the point and focus more on the mythological French beast.
The legendary Veyron is the most outstanding part of my Forza 3 car collection and for me, this is the best exotic ever driven in my whole life!

Get treated as a "master" of the road


Back in May 26, 2011, MAPLUS PORTABLE NAVI 3 unveiled a special Fate Stay Night Kisekae Pack for drivers who wanted to be treated as "masters" with the special Fate Stay Night packs available on MAPLUS PORTABLE NAVI 3. Choose between Saber (CV: Ayako Kawasumi) or Rin Tohsaka (CV: Kana Ueda) and once you hit the road with either one of those characters of the hit video game and anime, Fate Stay Night.

Let's see if you can "master" the highway with a little help from either Saber or Rin Tohsaka...

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 3

Looks like I'll be giving you another top 5 driving music (car commercial songs) for this moment because of the emergency measures that I'm receiving another questions. If someone ask what was the French song played on a Spanish car commercial, sorry I don't have the answer for that! (Laugh). Also, someone asked what was that Spanish song on a 2006 Nissan Murano commercial. Sorry, I can't answer that too. Anyway, I'll be giving you another set of five Driving Musics (car commercial songs) for you to find and either play it in your car audio or set it as a Personal BGM on Gran Turismo 5. Here goes...

5) Back in December 2007, since the launch of the second-generation Daihatsu Tanto and Tanto Custom, I saw a commercial for the Daihatsu Tanto Custom starring Masami Nagasawa and Hideaki Ito. Good commercial for a good kei car. I think I know what was that song played on the Daihatsu Tanto Custom 2007 commercial. It was sung by EXILE and the song was Kawaranai Mono. I see, Kawaranai Mono is the EXILE song used on the Daihatsu Tanto commercial. Good luck finding that song and buy it too!

4) In May 2009, I watched the Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon starring Robert De Niro. For the moment you asked what was that song on this commercial, it's simple. The answer is "Walking In The Sun" by Travis. Find it on Travis' album titled Singles!

3) Last year, I watched a Japanese commercial for the Toyo Tires Garit G5 studless tire. If you see the ad with the Audi A4 Avant driving on the snow, well that's the ad for the Toyo Tires Garit G5. You want to know what was that song? The title is RIDE AWAY〜雪の降る街から〜 by Hi-Fi CAMP. Find it on the album titled 2nd Best.

2) Years ago, I watched a commercial for "Petron Treats" in the Philippines. For those Filipinos who are actually avid Petron Treats customers waiting for the answer for the most asked question "What was that song?", well, the answer is Come Together by The Beatles.

1) Hey, remember the Citroen DS3 Anti-Retro commercial that has either Marilyn Monroe or John Lennon at the beginning? When the word "ANTI-RETRO" appears, you heard the song and asking others what was that song for the DS3 Anti-Retro advert. Simple, the answer for this question is W.A.R.R.I.O.R. by Ebony Bones. Try finding that song!

I don't have time left. Be sure to find these songs and good luck!

Prius α vs. Fit Shuttle Hybrid

2012 Toyota Prius Alpha


2012 Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid

Well, it all goes to this. The Toyota Prius α (Alpha) was launched since May 13, 2011 and the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid was launched since June 16, 2011. Both of them are hybrid MPV (multipurpose passenger vehicle) but which of these hybrid MPVs are fresh to be "my pick" and how are these two differ? Let's find out....

CASE ONE:
Toyota's Prius α (Alpha) is the MPV spin-off to the third-generation Prius hybrid car. As a hybrid car, the Prius α provides the fuel economy of 31.0km/L in 10-15 Mode and 26.2 in JC08 Mode. Once more, the 2ZR-FXE engine provides a power output of 99PS in standard and it can be boosted up to 136PS if the 60kW 3JM electric motor is active. On the styling cues, the Prius α matches the same Prius DNA because of its triangular silhouette and the interior design is somewhat a technological breakthrough. The new One-dial Air Conditional Control takes control of the Prius α's room temperature. The Prius α comes in either a 5-seater or 7-seater. The Prius α 5-seater is packed with the nickel metal hydride battery while the 7-seater is packed with the new Lithium Ion (Li-ion battery). What surprises me on the 7-seater variant of the Prius α is the panoramic roof called Skylight Roof, available exclusively on the Li-ion battery-powered Prius α 7-seater. Because of the trouble caused by the March 11 disaster and the curious case of "parts shortages", delivery time for the Prius α takes about one year, so you might need to wait a longer more time to get your own Prius α.

CASE TWO:
The Honda Fit Shuttle was the replacement of the axed Honda Airwave MPV and this is the MPV spin-off to the second-generation Honda Fit. I'm talking more about the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid MPV because we're dealing with the rivalry between the Toyota Prius α (Alpha) and the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid. Unlike the Toyota Prius α soon to be exported worldwide as the Prius V (5-seater) and Prius Plus (7-seater), the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid is not intended for export purposes and it's available only in Japan. Unlike the Prius α's one year delivery, the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid's delivery time takes about two months, that's 10 months short so there's a chance for buyers to get their own Fit Shuttle since orders reached to about 7000 customers. On the stats, the Fit Shuttle Hybrid gets a fuel economy of 30km/L, which is 1 km/L short than the Toyota Prius α. The Fit Shuttle Hybrid is available only in 5-seater and it comes with the nickel metal hydride battery. No 7-seater, no Li-ion battery just how the Toyota Prius α had. Besides, the styling on the Fit Shuttle Hybrid is just too bulgy and obese.

In my verdict, I prefer the Prius α rather than the bulging Fit Shuttle Hybrid because it is economical, stylish, and comfortable, but I have to wait until next year to get it. In the meantime, I have to make do with the bulging and obese Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid. What do you think?
