Not sure how does the Shoutbox mounted on my site work?

Hey guys, this is Leopaul.

Since June 1, 2011, I've added a Shoutbox on my site. It's on the right side. Unfortunately, I think no one is using that Shoutbox mounted on my site. You see, I put it so when the next time when I check on the search queries, there will be no questions. Just search terms only and not questions like what, when, where, how, why, or any of those WH- questions. All your questions will be put on that Shoutbox but nobody listened to me.

OK, you know what? I'll explain how does that Shoutbox added on my site works:

(click to enlarge)

See on the right side of my blog? That's the Shoutbox. To use it, type your name at the Name box. Screen names will work and there is no need to log in to that chat box. It is optional to put your website's URL at the Website box. At the message box, type your message. There is no limit in how many characters or words you want to place. Type as many as you want and then click "Shout" to post message.

Be sure not to post everything rude or showing personal information at the Shoutbox. This Shoutbox placed on my site is a clean zone. BE WARNED!

So, there you have it. I've explained everything about how to use the Shoutbox placed on my site, right? This is a place on my site where you can ask some questions. When the next time I checked on your search queries and when the next time I see a "question" as a search query by any means of using WH- questions, I'll notify someone via Twitter.

THANK YOU AND ENJOY USING THE SHOUTBOX PLACED ON MY SITE!

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?

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.
