Believe it or not, its Cheche Bureche again.

Last night's Bubble Gang episode with gags telling them what just happened, a male shopper looking for something macho to ease out his gay status, Cinderella's fairy godmother faces the jury, a K-Pop song played at the Iyotube segment with Moymoy Palaboy and Roadfill, polite drinkers according to Ruffa Mae Qunito, life of a newbie celebrity, and a real honeymoon gone weird.

Believe it or not, Cheche and Bureche are here again to play with us on Cheche Bureche. In this episode, remember what Dad says if who's a good girl deserves an ice cream. Bureche wants an ice cream, not Cheche. So, Bureche asks Cheche to hurt Bureche! Cheche hit Bureche with a vase? Whoa! Then, Dad comes and tells Cheche what just happened to Bureche. He realized that Cheche put Bureche to sleep. Dad deserved Cheche an ice cream. So much for a failed attempt for Bureche!

Also, Bonggang Bonggang Bongbong strikes back on Sumbong Sumbong kay Bonggang Bongbong, which the most annoying cases involve which cellphone rings even the text message is not theirs, a foam padding added to a person's thighs, and a well-dressed woman criticized by others.

Battle of the Brainless The Musical Round 2

Last night's episode of Lokomoko U on TV5 got student gags, prehistoric times gone twisted because of the invention of the ladder, another episode of Bahaw Ikalawang Hain, another Star Factory focuses on getting your banana without harvesting, and another Keso City episode that got us laughed with some jokes from the rats and mice.

Renault Latitude







Prior from the new, third-generation, Laguna-based, Renault Samsung SM5, launched since January 18, 2010, the French automaker decided to bring this premiere luxury medium sedan to Europe as the Renault Latitude.

Latitude, in scientific terms, is a straight line that goes north and south, or in irrelevant terms, freedom from restrictions. The Renault Latitude is beyond limits when it comes to its luxury car status, becoming Renault's new flagship sedan that suits the European executives everywhere.

Step inside the Latitude and glad to know that the Latitude's interior is a haven of hospitality. Since it was sourced from South Korea, the Renault Latitude comes with the Samsung Super Plasma Ionizer, providing the breeze of a Samsung Air Conditioner from your homes, to the Latitude's hospitable interior. The Super Plasma Ionizer helps remove allergy-causing bacteria, so stepping inside can be somewhat a clean getaway. Unlike the Nissan Fuga Y51's forest air conditioner, the Renault Latitude comes with the available air freshener, good enough to bring a fresh scent around the Latitude. I may not know what scent is inside but the Latitude's air freshener is no match for the Nissan Fuga's forest air con. To relax the driver, the Latitude comes with the massager to help relax the driver while being stuck at the harsh traffic conditions. This seat can be adjustable depending on the driver's conditions.

The Renault Latitude comes with different kinds of engines available as of launch. First off, the entry-level Latitude dCi 150 comes with the 2.0L dCi engine (sourced from the Nissan X-Trail and the Euro-spec Nissan Qashqai) that produces a power output of either 150 or 175 hp. The 150hp variant is the most ecological, yet economical, Latitude variant because of its part of the Renault Eco2 line, giving this flagship French sedan a true eco-car status. For those looking for more power, a V6 diesel engine is available for the new Latitude. The high-end V6 dCi240 variant comes with the power output of 240 hp and it consumes for about 7.2km/100L. For those who are looking for an eco-car can choose the the 2.0L dCi engine with the Renault Eco2 quality, but for those looking for power can choose the Latitude V6 variant. Which Latitude will you drive?

A host of safety features, including the Electronic Stability Program, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Adaptive Front Lighting System, Parking assist, fog lamps, and airbags, are available for the Renault Latitude. With those safety features, you can be sure that there is a "peace of mind" around you. For convenience, the audio system truly kicks it up to the passenger's sense of hearing. With the Arkamys 3D Sound Radio and the Bose audio system, assuring this combo would be a perfect time to listen your favorite tunes while relaxing with the Latitude.

My thoughts about the Latitude:

Now it is about time Renault decided to bring their newest flagship to Europe, prior to this year's Paris Motor Show. Completely sourced from South Korea, there is much assuring that their a 50% chance to expressing dramatic feelings while driving the Renault Latitude, since it was from South Korea, meaning a piece of Korean drama is lying inside the Latitude. The other 50% chance would be rather go French. With the suggested retail price of about 32,500 euros (about 4.5 million pesos), experiencing the Latitude first hand can be a dramatic attempt to tackle on the Versailles by night. The Latitude makes a perfect rival to the Toyota Mark X, Kia K7, Nissan Teana, Lincoln MKZ, Buick Regal, and the upcoming Hyundai Grandeur HG.

Lexus LFA to be cost around 40 Million Pesos, in just, only one color, and one LFA itself

During the Press Day of the 2010 Mondial de l'Automobile (Paris Motor Show), Toyota Motor Philippines and Lexus Manila decided to bring the ultra-powerful Lexus LFA to the Philippines early next year, in just one unit, in one color, RED


According from an article from Top Gear Philippines, this red LFA will cost about a whopping 40 million pesos! This car needs some Filipino, rich enough, to buy this ultra-fast Japanese sports car coming to Lexus Manila this 2011.

Note to someone who is willing to own the new LFA, be careful. Don't end yourself like this:

Look at the picture future Pinoy Lexus LFA owner. This is the Lexus LFA's first crash at Germany. The chief test driver of Toyota Motor Corporation, Hiromu Naruse, died on the crash. Please be careful to avoid such an outcome happened since June 2010.

Good luck, and drive fast, future Pinoy Lexus LFA owner.

When worlds collide...

Just when you thought that the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 for the PS3 is the only game to have something Top Gear on it (probably because of the Test Track with The Stig on the E3 2010 trailer), think again.

The fastest-selling Forza Motorsport 3 teams up with BBC's car enthusiast show and magazine, Top Gear, for one unique package, and its only available at the "Ultimate Collection", coming this late October, the same date when Forza 3 arrived last year.

The Forza 3 Ultimate Collection (in limited availability) contains all of the content, from regular to DLC packs worth tens or hundreds of dollars on it! Also on the Ultimate Collection, 90 minutes of Top Gear content!

To add fun of it, "Stig's Garage Pack" includes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (also appears on GT5), Lexus LFA (first time players can try this!), and the Koenigsegg CCX (familiar?)

Hope I can trade in my regular Forza 3 for that one, but first come, first serve because this one's limited availability!

Kaichou Wa Maid Sama Virtual Live Album U x Mishi

Maid-sama! Virtual Live Album U x Mishi


In the Maid-sama manga and anime, you may noticed about a visual-kei high school band known as the Council of White Rose Phoneme or in short, U x Mishi, consisting of vocalist Kuga, guitarist Sho, bassist Ko, and drummer William Adam Hugh. This visual kei high school band was a favorite of Sakura Hanazono, Misaki Ayuzawa's classmate. Lucky for you, a special Maid-Sama CD is made to getting to know more about U x Mishi.

This CD is jam-packed with U x Mishi songs vocalized by Kuga (CV: Kenji Nojima) himself, including the insert song Natsukoi Monogatari as heard from episode 10. Not only that, there's a drama part starring Misaki, Usui, Sakura, and the U x Mishi vocalist, Kuga.

It might seems to be OK getting to know more about this visual kei high school band, but I think this is a great addition to your anime/game music CD collection.

BMW X3 F25

The first generation BMW X3, launched since 2004, seems to be a good-looking crossover SUV set to rival the Lexus RX in a mild-mannered way. As years pass by, most people would not get a hold on the X3's outdated look with the appearance of the new BMW crossover, the X6, the X1, and the refreshed X5. To solve the X3 dilemma, BMW decided to turn from the boring to the bright by evolving the X3 from dull to drop dead gorgeous.



2011 BMW X3 F25 front


On the design side, the new BMW X3 F25 sports a front view similar to the X6 and the rear view that looks similar to the X1. Beyond that, this crossover finally gets a royal makeover, well tailored enough for the adventurous and the fearless to take on almost chaotic but fun.



2011 BMW X3 F25 rear


Two available engines are offered in the new BMW X3 F25, such as the 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder engine and the 2.0-litre diesel engine. On the 35i variant, only the eight-speed automatic transmission is available, while the 20d variant offers not just the eight-speed auto, but also the six-speed manual transmission as well. Keep that in mind that both of these engines are Euro5 certified, meaning they are all clean and good to go for the new X3. On the other side, the XDrive system is standard on all X3 variants for all-round traveling no matter where you want.



2011 BMW X3 F25 interior


On the comfort side, the new BMW X3 remains the same as for the older generation model. Which means, there is nothing more special about the refined luxury interior except for the separating net part that once you folded the rear seats, you can set that thing, separating you, as the driver, and the luggage space behind you.

My thoughts about the X3:
The new X3's exterior takes the boredom away from its rugged personality as a crossover, but the new interior is pretty much the same as other BMW models. With two engines available as of press time, you may notice that there will be a slow start for the new model, but do not fret, BMW plans more engine line-up for the new X3 soon, and also, we cannot wait for BMW to declare an Activehybrid or the M version of the new X3. Once more, the M Sport package is an optional feature to bring the star factor to the new X3. With sales start in Europe at the end of 2010, following in other continents next year, I expect that this new model will be declared a so-so. Even when the exterior sports a fascinating personality, there will be flaws around the corner.
