The Secret Origin of Pizza Pie?

Before summarizing The Secret Origin of Pizza Pie (Ang Alamat ng Pizza Pie) according to Banana Split's Lola Melai, Ryan Bang's here again with two Korean girls sitting beside him for another set of KorePino words. First off, the Korean word of "Beside" is "Yeop E" but sounds like either UP (University of the Philippines) or the Tagalog word for "Flat". Then, the Korean word of "From" is "Bu Teo" but sounds like "Buto" which is Tagalog for "Bone".

OK, now where was I? Oh yeah! Ang Alamat ng Pizza Pie!

It all started when two men (let's call them Rasheed and Jason) are very hungry and there is nothing to eat at home. They yelled at the woman (let's call it Sunshine) for some food but the woman said that she already cooked some pie when suddenly, Jason got sat at the pie accidentally. Oh great, Jason Francisco just wasted the pie Sunshine Garcia cooked for both Jason and Rasheed when suddenly, the pie, which Jason accidentally sat on it, tasted great! Both Rasheed and Sunshine love it and from now, they discovered Pizza Pie! (Get it? Pisa Pie!)

This "pisa" pie tastes great!

PRESS RELEASE:

DETROIT – Nearly 125,000 Chevrolet fans have spoken, naming the 1969 Camaro the "Best Chevy of All Time."

As part of Chevrolet's Centennial celebration, fans were asked to vote for their favorite vehicle from Chevrolet's 100-year history. During the four-round, elimination bracket, the 1969 Camaro garnered 25,058 of the 124,368 votes cast, edging out the 1970 Chevelle SS in the final round.

Tom Peters, Chevrolet Design director, believes the '69 Camaro is not only one of the best vehicles in Chevrolet's history but one of the best vehicles ever. He is a little biased, however, having owned the same 1969 Camaro for nearly 20 years.

"I can vividly remember seeing one for the first time as a kid," Peters said. "The intent of the Camaro was instantly understood, even to a 14-year old like me, because it possessed a very powerful personality and an elegant, simple design. The Camaro was so cool because it offered this great style, high performance, and yet was attainable for someone just getting out of school.

"Today, the '69 Camaro has become one of the best examples of timeless design in the industry," Peters said. "Like the very best designs, the Camaro is much more than just a machine because it evokes powerful emotions in people of all ages. That's why we looked to the '69 for inspiration when designing the fifth-generation Camaro, and why the '69 Camaro is an example of the timeless vehicles Chevrolet will strive to deliver for the next 100 years."

This goes to show, it doesn't matter which Chevrolet, new and old, you prefer but what matters is, you're with the Bowtie that stands out the crowd.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 10

Our blogs' been under attacked by some unknown hacker from Canada, who left a message that says "kia k5 song". I mean come on, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A KIA K5 SONG. It's an original and you can't find it! Go away! Scram!

Because of such intrusion, let me give you Volume 10 of our Driving Music segment, where we can show you the best 5 Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy finding it. We're not warning you...

5) Zombie by The Cranberries - you may hear it at a Renault Clio commercial where this guy's listening to that song while driving a white Renault Sport Clio. Life is too short to be boring...

4) Mommy Complex by Peaches - you may hear it on a latest Citroen DS3 commercial where the twin girls switch through various fashion. The Citroen DS3 is all about personalization.

3. Quando Quando by Englebert Humperdinck - you may hear it on a Honda Fit Shuttle Japanese TV commercial.

2. Surfin' USA by The Beach Boys - you may hear it on a Renault Kangoo French commercial where a kid submitted a pile of papers filled with "what are your plans this weekend" assignment to the teacher. So, what are your plans this weekend?

1. Here I Am by Maia Hirasawa - this must be the song from the Japanese Lexus CT200h commercial. I'm sure you heard of it.

...and these were the best five Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy. If anyone hacks, this segment never ends until you had enough looking for car commercial songs. It pays to be a knowledgeable car enthusiast knowing what are the songs played on some car commercials.

Melai's tips while eating outside with your date...

Before we explain Melai's tips while eating outside with your date, Pooh explains some funny ways to communicate without hurting their feelings on NO HURT FEELINGS:

1) How can you say that his manliligaw style is too old-school? You say that you compared it to Sharon and Gabby

2) How can you say that his joke is too old? Appreciate it!

3) How can you say that her cook is not so delicious? Tell to her to marry someone who's good at cooking.

...and now for the tips:

5) If you went to the restaurant and if your date's lending you a seat, your date likes you

4) Peek at your date

3) Order some "sabaw" and feed it to your date

2) Tell something funny and when your date laughed, your date likes you

1) If your date holds your hand, THIS IS IT!

Effective? Yes! Will it work? MELAI MO MAGWORK...

Okay, now you had your laugh, Lola Melai's here again for The Secret Origin of High Five or Ang Alamat ng APIR:

It all begins when two men are bothered by some flying insects. Both of these men lost their one of their arms. While these one-armed men still getting bothered by these flying insects, these two come up with a plan to get rid of these insects. All it takes is some High-5! Hi-5! Yeah!

HIGH-FIVE!

..and this is the secret origin of Hi-5 (or Ang Alamat ng Apir).

Crikey! Top Gear Australia got cancelled!

"It's true - as of next week, TGA will be on at the special time of not at all. Sorry to the open-minded people that gave it a go and enjoyed!" - Steve Pizzati, Top Gear Australia host

Oh, crikey! It seems that the Australian version of Top Gear got themselves pulled out because of very low ratings and the viewership waned to about 400,000.

Australia's Channel Nine decided to get rid of Top Gear Australia after two years of programming the Aussie version of the BBC hit motoring TV magazine. At its first run, it garnered 1.5 million viewers nationwide but later on dropped to about 400,000 viewers nationwide.

This Australian channel said that only four episodes of the current season but only three are aired, which means, when will they aired the fourth episode of this current season of Top Gear Australia?

Back in 2008, Top Gear Australia was aired in SBS and this version is hosted by Steve Pizzati, Charlie Cox, and Warren Brown. Every version has their own Stig and Top Gear Australia's never without The Stig, Top Gear's mascot driver. Later on, with season 2 of Top Gear Australia produced by SBS, Charlie Cox was been replaced by James Morrison, a musician just before Channel Nine obtain the rights in last year. When Nine aired TGA, both James Morrison and Warren Brown got replaced by actor Shane Jacobson and Ewen Page, a journalist.

It's been a rough memo to remove the Australian version of Top Gear but I'm sure we'll miss this Aussie version.

トヨタプリウス(ZVW30)のマイナーチェンジ?

2012 Toyota Prius

A facelifted third-generation Toyota Prius made a surprise appearance at the 2011 IAA in Frankfurt, Germany and upon looking at the front view, it looks like that the 2012 Toyota Prius has a front bumper derived from its big brother, the Prius Alpha MPV. Not only that, there's a new rear lamp designed applied and wow, this one pleases me.

Scoop: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/09/facelifted-2012-toyota-prius-quietly.html

I believe that the facelifted 2012 Toyota Prius will come to Japan this 4th quarter (November 2011, perhaps?) thanks to this leaked information courtesy of Carstadium.net.

Question is, will the Prius G's (G Sports) arrive also with the Prius facelift? Not sure but be patient.
