FH2 Storm Island: Lancer Pizza

This is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI and this is much more of an ultimate version of the Lancer we called it "Lancer Pizza" because of its pizza-shaped taillamps. If my memory serves me correctly, most of the youth who were in their senior years or in college were driving one of these apart from its "Lancer itlog" predecessor. Sadly, we don't have a Lancer itlog here but this "Lancer pizza" really reminds us of our younger selves, younger selves that we used it for transportation or for fun while causing much of a trouble. Apart from driving it, we used it to hide from grownups chasing us, making out with our girlfriends, listening to some radio music while stuck in traffic, whatever we're facing with. This Lancer Pizza has lots of youthful memories.

But this is the Evo, or to be more precise, the Evo VI, the one were the Lancer pizza has been pushed to its greater heights as well as its racing pedigree thanks to its involvement in the World Rally Championship with Tommi Makinen behind the wheel.



Continuing on my Storm Island journey, the next championship I'm taking on involves 90s rally machines and this one really makes the cuts and I signed up for one. Before that, some improvements have been made on my Lancer Pizza Evo VI to make it capable of surviving Storm Island's extreme terrains. As for looks, I made it look like it was taking on amateur rallycross. Yes. It wants to show its racing pedigree like most Evos do in their lifespan.

And now, the big moment...



Four races down! Looks like the highly memorable Lancer pizza, even in its hypo-Evo form, really survived Storm Island. With four championships cleared, my journey towards the finale in Storm Island continues but before taking on the next tier, I need to complete...The Gauntlet. What is the gauntlet? Stay tuned...

Upon telling the truth, he exposed that the San Juans are held responsible for sabotaging La Presa's water supply and therefore arrested for their charges.

Agnes left wondering at the countryside during a rainfall and when Xander encountered her, he has sworn that he will never make the same mistake to Agnes and he will always be there to her forever. When Agnes showed Xander the ring, he threw it away, knowing that love isn't about twin strawberries, Xander showed the ring to Agnes and then goes his four little words "will you marry me?". Agnes happily says yes!

Red Nose Day USA

Red Nose Day

For the first time ever, BBC's Comic Relief-style charity telethon, Red Nose Day, has landed in the USA with a special three-hour telethon aired on NBC and keeping it true to Red Nose tradition, it features a plethora of comedy sketches, musical performances, and watching our favorite celebs giving back to the communities, even for the children from Africa and elsewhere.

Over the course of the telethon, we see Seth Meyers' celebrity phone tree, what happens when ladies do male roles from movies, Ed Sheeran performs with Kermit the Frog, Hollywood Secrets, Nick Offerman vs. Will Ferrell in The Voice, British celebs helping people, and so much more. It's not just about hilarity, it's about helping others like in the case of comedian Jack Black visiting Africa to help the children, Blake Shelton on the Health Fund, and Fast and Furious' Michelle Rodriguez visiting Peru to rebuild people's' lives.

It all ends with boyband Coldplay doing a musical version of Game of Thrones that didn't go exactly as planned.

Over $14 million have been donated by the viewers and the sponsors, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the numbers continue to grow even after Red Nose Day USA ends.
