Right! Now let's do the news and we begin with this. It's the 2013 Lexus LS, completely new, feels like it's regenerated, and it comes with the SPINDLE GRILLE first seen on the New GS.

Unbelievable, right? The 2013 Lexus LS range is available in LS460 and the LS600h hybrid, in normal and LWB format, and it will be available in Japan this October 2012.
Repeat. October 2012 is when the 2013 LS arrive in Japan. Other countries may follow soon.
So, another day, another suspension even after Typhoon Gener, right?
Yeah, and the bad flooding that brought traffic to a standstill. Oh, and I just heard that this is even much worse than the Ondoy three years ago.
Or Milenyo six years ago.. I'd experienced it.
Oh really?
Yeah. My sisters, my grandma, and someone named Ate Glo are getting bored for the week long brownout due to typhoon Milenyo back in 2006, September to October 2006 to be exact. It was boring because with no power, we have nothing to do.
Oh, how sad. Then what happened?
We'd wait, we'd listen to the news via radio, and wait and wait and wait until the moment where power became back online.
Ah, I see. Thanks to that story anyway. I wonder if most Gener victims are doing the same experience you did...
I wonder...And I really hope the bad will gone, the flood will gone, and the rain will stop. God Help Us....
Yeah, God Help Us indeed because it's a month long rain. Permanently raining! We don't know when will it stop!
(audience laughing)
Anyway, while we're getting away from that rain issue, have you been on the TV PATROL 25th Anniversary party?
Uh...no...
(audience laughing)
Guess what? President Noynoy Aquino's making the raps about Noli De Castro, who was from reporter to Vice President to reporter again. Quite a story eh? Even when he never mentioned Noli's name, P-Noy's taking a stab at him with this speech...
"Noong Oktubre ng nakaraang taon, may isang reporter kayo ang nagbabalita sa NAIA 3. Ang sabi niya, sa puntong iyon, tumaas ng dalawampung porsiyento ang passenger arrivals sa paliparan. Magandang balita, at higit sa lahat, fact po iyan. Sa kabila nito, nakuha pa pong humirit ng isang anchor n'yo at ang sabi po niya, and I quote, "Nasa NAIA 3 ka kasi; kung nasa NAIA 1 ka, doon malala." Sa loob-loob ko po, anong kinalaman ng ibinabalita sa NAIA 3 sa NAIA 1? May nagsabi po bang ayos na ayos na ang NAIA 1? Kung mayroon man ho, hindi kami. Nakaligtaan niya atang mahigit 30 anyos na ang istrukturang ito.
Napapaisip nga po ako: 'yung nagkomento nito, hindi ba't anim na taon ding tumangan sa renda ng gobyerno? Sabihin na po nating minana lang din nila ang problema; 'di hamak mas luma naman ang ipinamana nilang problema sa amin. Anim na taon ang ipinagkaloob sa kanya para tumulong sa pagsasaayos ng mismong inirereklamo niya. Pero ngayon, tayo na nga ang may bitbit na problema, tayo na nga ang tutugon dito, pero, masakit nga ho, may gana pa tayong hiritan ng nagpamana?
Naalala ko rin po nang na-recover ng NBI ang isang banyagang bata na nakidnap. Ang ganda na po sana: Nakakuha ng tip ang awtoridad, kumilos sila, at na-recover ang bata. Masaya ang mga magulang na kapiling na muli nila ang kanilang anak; masaya ang bata na kayakap niya ang kaniyang ama't ina; masaya ang awtoridad na maayos at matagumpay ang operasyon nila. Mukhang ang hindi lang masaya, ito nga pong anchor natin na nagawa pa uling humirit na baka raw na-set-up lang raw ang rescue operation, at binayaran lang talaga ang ransom. Kahit anong pilit ng reporter na malinaw ang operasyon; nag-surveillance ang mga taga-NBI, at talagang natiyempuhan nilang walang nakabantay sa bata, pilit pa rin po nang pilit ang anchor. Sabi nga ho ng nanonood kong kasama, "Naman." Kami pa po mismo ang magagalak kung makakapaghain kayo ng kapirasong ebidensya ukol dito, at kung mayroon nagkamali, usigin natin ang mga nagkamali.
May naitutulong po ba ang mga walang-basehang spekulasyon, lalo na kung lumalabas ka sa telebisyon at sinusubaybayan ng sambayanan? Kung nagbabangkaan lang tayo sa kanto, hindi problema ang mga walang-basehang patutsada. Pero kung alam mong opinion-maker ka, alam mo rin dapat na mayroon kang responsibilidad. Sana po, sa tuwing sasabihin nating, and I quote, "magandang gabi, bayan," ay totoong hinahangad nating maging maganda ang gabi ng bayan."
(audience laughing and applause)
Quite a long story about a reporter who turned Vice President and then back to reporter! Now that's life! Ha ha ha!
Yeah, that's life. Try and try and try and try and try and try until you succeed or fail...Anyway, speaking of succeed and fail, let's find out what's what on the London 2012....
Right, so far, People's Republic of China, the country who's taking it seriously about the Scarborough scandal, has 17 medals (9 gold, 5 silver, and 3 bronze). The United States of America has 17 medals also (5 gold, 7 silver, and 5 bronze). France got 7 medals (3 gold, 1 silver, and 3 bronze)
Okay, for the developing update; South Korean fencer, Shin A Lam, was been destroyed by Germany's Britta Heidemann during the women's epee individual semifinal fencing competition at the ExCel venue at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Then, our very own Hidilyn Diaz...oh yeah she didn't win in the women's weightlifting competition, where Maria Escobar of Ecuador shined to the top.
Right. Too bad our very own Hidilyn Diaz never won but that's okay though. You did well for us. YOU...DID WELL FOR US. Nice work. Oh! I just heard that some athlete got sacked due to racist remarks...
Who?
Some soccer player representing Switzerland, named Michel Morganella, he made a racist tweet against the country that defeated the Swiss soccer team.
What country?
The South Koreans of course. Kinda remind me of something....that Mr. Morganella's racist tweet that is against the Koreans...could it have something that South Korean fencer, Shin A Lam, lost in the battle?
Not sure but don't worry, he's not the only Olympian who got fired for racist remarks. A Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou, made a racist tweet against the South African opponents.
Yeah. That's a worse case scenario for Olympians with Twitter accounts doing everything to pwn down the opponents.
Okay, here's a Top Gear Top Tip: If you're an Olympian and if you have a Twitter account; better not make a racist tweet against the rival country that defeated you. That's it. Don't attack them by Twitter. You won't be getting gold for that.
(audience laughing)
Anyway, more excitement coming up all day and let's move on because....
Because what?
I just heard the AE86's engine revving again...
The AE86's engine revving again? This could mean...
We've just heard that there's going to be another INITIAL D anime on the way!
(applause)
We just heard from the 35th issue of Kodansha's Young Magazine that there's going to be a brand new Initial D anime in the works but what could it be? A TV anime? From Pay-Per-View? Or is it an OAD like the rest of the Kodansha mangas? Not sure but we'll find the answer this August 6.
Hmmm....a brand new Initial D anime? What could this be? As far as we know, we've seen our favorite tail-happy, tire-screeching, Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX, or the AE86 as we know it, turning the tables against one of the best touge racers across Japan. Something bothers me that what comes next?
I'm guessing there will be more rivals coming. Is there going to be opponents in the latest versions of the Lancer Evo or the WRX STi? Is there going to be opponents driving import cars? Is there going to be...
Shhh...shhhh....shhh...We're not sure what sort of new opponents our favorite man in the AE86 will face, but we will have to find out very soon....
Yeah. Very soon but anyway, bad news. Earlier, I'd just picked up some phone call from someone that two mangas based on the Infinite Stratos light novels will end this Summer...
(awwww)
What are those?
Simple. The comic version of Infinite Stratos ended at the September 2012 issue of Media Factory Monthly Comic Alive, on sale now, while the Aiesu! (IS!) four-panel spinoff manga, the one with super deformed IS characters, will end in the next issue on August 27.
Oh, how sad! :-(
Yeah, but...on that bombshell, that's the news!
