STILL (Panting....coughing) More bad case of Toyota's mass recall

Recently posted on Top Gear Philippines' official site:

Mutual respect and cooperation?

Toyota's taking it seriously while the mass recall still rages on.

Also, another Autoblog article regarding the Toyota recall:

In my highest expectations, this 2010 Toyota Recall case is more dreadful than the Maguindanao Massacre happened in November 23, 2009 and the Manila Hostage Crisis since August 23.

I'll guess I'll put the SWAT meaning to Toyota:

SWAT - Sorry! Windag na ang Aking Toyota!

The pathway to Fuji Speedway - What the fudge happened?!

A few weeks ago, a strange news happened that the Round 7 of SuperGT at the Fuji Speedway was cancelled. That news shocked most JDM and SuperGT fans because of...



I don't know what exactly happened at the road of Toyota-owned circuit but maybe because of some flash floods due to some super typhoon.


OH NO! What's going on with Toyota?! First the mass recall, the death of Hiromu Naruse, and now this?! Seems that the times are making it worse for Toyota Motor Corporation. With the pathway to the Toyota-owned racing circuit temporarily closed because of ongoing repairs, next SuperGT round will be held at the Twin Ring Motegi, one of the Honda-owned racetracks aside from Suzuka Circuit, this October!

Fast times, and sad times for Toyota Motor Corporation. Seems that the Toyota-made robot violinist will be doomed for now.

A Hyundai Sonata will star on Fugitive Plan B...

Moments since Korean superstar Rain was in the Philippines for the shooting of KBS's new action drama, Fugitive Plan B, Hyundai Motor Company will take partnership for the drama.



This is the current-generation Hyundai YF Sonata sold in the Philippines with Korean superstar Rain during the shooting of Fugitive Plan B. Coming soon on Korea Broadcasting System  this late September. Other than Rain, it stars Daniel Henney, Lee Na-Young, and Lee Jeong-Jin.



No freaking way! Hyundai will be leading on Fugitive Plan B while Kia will be leading on Athena: Goddess of War. Two rival stations, two rival car manufacturers, and two action packed Koreanovelas! If I watch both Fugitive Plan B (coming this late September on KBS) and Athena: Goddess of War (coming on SBS this November), which Korean action drama would I go for?

I've recognized Rain (not just as a singer and an actor, he was take place in a BMW web movie, BMW Meets Truth) and Daniel Henney (from the GM Daewoo Gentra TV Commercial). I wanna watch this new action drama!

...it's been three years!

Yes! It's been three years since our favorite alien buddy left our TV screens. But now, September 20, 2010, before TV Patrol, Kokey, our alien buddy returns with the help of Vhong Navarro, Toni Gonzaga, and the Melason tandem (Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco). For those who didn't know about our alien pal Kokey, here goes.

From the Pinoy movie of the 1990's, Kokey is a movie about a young boy who encountered an alien named Kokey, and later became the best of friends.

The Kokey from the movies made me cry but the Kokey from the TV sets made me smile. Everyone smiled at our alien buddy since the TV adaptation from the movie aired in 2007 and ended before Christmas.

Back in my fourth year high school days at Muntinlupa Institute of Technology, me and my classmates often fanfic about Kokey. Think Kung Fu Kids, Palos, Lobo, my classmates, shows from the rival network such as Lupin, Zaido Pulis Pangkalawakan, Marimar, or even Mata ni Anghelita. If my ex-classmates were here, I would blow my funniest Kokey fanfic yet and think Santino from May Bukas Pa, Agua Bendita, Momay, the Ungtas, Gabriel, and Jacob/Eli from Noah, even from the rival networks such as Pilyang Kerubin, the pinoy Endless Love, for the non-relevant; the people from Bubble Gang such as Yaya, Angelina, Bonggang Bonggang Bongbong, Oily and Greasy (these Baklang Grasa gays), the experts of Haka-Haka Bubuka-bukaka, CheChe and Bureche (uy! special mention!), and wait, I forgot the Banana Split guys such as Bhoy, Crissy, the news anchors of Balitang Siksik, Brod, Bro, Bru, Andy the Handyman, the Pinoy, Italian, and Japanese from Tongue Tarang Tongue, Kuya Keem, Dyaskeng Bieber, and others. If my classmates know it, then we can go Sabi-Sabi about my greatest, and funniest, Kokey fanfic yet!

Oh, about the storyline of Kokey@Ako? [SPOILER ALERT] It's about the story of a young girl named Jackie. She lives with her rich family. But all of a sudden, they were attacked by some unknown goons, the parents told Jackie to leave. Once the goons trying to kill Jackie's parents there was some strange light coming, and the strange light took Jackie's parents, to OUTER SPACE!

Tune in to Kokey@Ako this Monday before TV Patrol World! Trust me, this will be more funny than the first Kokey aired since 2007 because there's Melason afoot! Who knows? It's M3! (Melai Mo Magwork!)

On the other hand, who's Kekay?!

The rebirth of Battle of the Brainless...in a musical kind of way

Last night's Lokomoko U brings back our ever favorite Tropang Trumpo portion called Battle of the Brainless (remember this?). With the UP Jazz Ensemble performing the musical number, Valeen Montenegro hosts this ever favorite brainless quiz show that brings back our Tropang Trumpo memories.

Wrong answers makes me ROFL a hundred times, since this is Battle of the Brainless The Musical! ROFL! ROFL! ROFL! ROFL! ROFL! ROFL! (over and over)

Then, massage gags, another tear-dropping chapter of Bahaw Ikalawang Hain (what's going on with Blue, played by Empoy?), another Star Factory segment on how to make foot-long hotdog sandwich, and more of Granny's knock knock jokes on Talentadong Family,

And oh, we also forgot that another mice and rats chatter on another episode of Keso City.

Cheche Bureche yet again...

Last night's Bubble Gang episode showing gags about their katulongs leaving, a cooking show, a katulong's case on the house, best actor, a sign language on the news takes on a new dimension, a clean conscience at the nightclub, spirit of the glass gone awkward, more of Moymoy Palaboy and Roadfill, a retired genie, and a tagakilos for hire.

Also, our newest favorites Cheche and Bureche, are here again, for the third time, in Cheche Bureche! For the third time, our lovable Cheche's watching cartoons, then the grumpy Bureche showed up and she wants to watch some action. Then the father showed up with two gifts, big and small. Cheche chose the big one, then Bureche chose the big one. While the father's away, Cheche and Bureche swapped gifts, then the father showed up, saying why did they swapped gifts. He's proud of Cheche because this small gift is better. Cheche opened the small gift, and she got a cellphone! Then, Bureche opened a big gift, and it's a hat inside! Better luck next time, Bureche!

Impostor ended...and Momay ended too!

Impostor ending and Momay ending

OH MY! Two dramas in ABS-CBN shared the same day when it ends! 

First its Impostor, part of the Precious Hearts Romances, starring Sam Milby and Maja Salvador. You know, its Melai in Maja's identity, ooooverrr!! That ending was tragic at its first minute (with part having the villain, played by Precious Lara Quigman, killed the real Mariz, played by Maja Salvador) and in the end, Melai, the former Devon that Maja Salvador also plays that role, makes a special comeback at the end of Impostor.

With the Impostor ending is OOOOVERRR, time to say OH MY at the final episode of Momay.

How it end? Rewind it at the first minute. We first see a espiritista, one of Aunt Hillary's, played by Ogie Diaz, stop by at the espiritista who captured Momay, telling this is the time. Meanwhile, Alyssa tries to persuade that her father was responsible for the arson of Shirley's house, the house where Momay and Justin resides. In fact, the person responsible for the crime told the truth!
Then, Justin and Momay trying to rescue their mother, Shirley, but its too late. Outside the currently burning Fun Land, with Shirley been taken to the hospital, Aunt Hillary showed up, trying to kill Justin, but Uncle took the shot. With Justin's uncle shot by Aunt Hillary, she was about to kill Justin, but the cops took her out. With that nasty aunt died, her soul was been taken by some "giant hand" and her soul, I'm sure, was taken to hell, you know, at the fire! OH MY!

At the hospital, the siblings tried to do everything to keep their mother, Shirley, alive, but it was time's up for Momay. Her "Flower of Life" was withered, and Momay was slowly disappeared. 

Moments later, at the house where Justin and Momay resides, Justin and his mother, Shirley, reminded that our friendly ghost was the only one who saved their lives, but forgot to say goodbye. Later, we heard the word "choo-choo!" It's Momay playing with her best pal, Andrew. Of course, she has to say good-bye first to her best friend, her brother Justin, and her mother Shirley. (I'm crying....)

Both dramas shared the same day when it ends! OH MY! OOOOVERRR!!!

Next week, Precious Hearts Romances will present Alyna, which stars Shaina Magdayao, and for three years, our favorite alien buddy, Kokey, is back, with the funniest tandems, Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga, Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco, come full force with some oooveerrr laughs, tears, suspense, and more YAKAPAMILYA on Kokey@Ako!

Hope I"ll catch up with these new additions! Like we said, with great endings come great beginnings.
