November 13 episode of Banana Split got us poked with airline jokes, crazed masseur Rizza Masahista (RR Enriquez) warms Jayson Gainza's back with...an iron, Kuya Keem (John Prats) discusses more on soap with Igor (Ryan Bang) invented a micro-scrub, and the Banana Split boys visit some high school for some dances.

On that episode, our favorite solution to our problems, Melai Cantiveros, is here again for some tips on M3: Malapit na ang pasko, I mean, Melai Mo Magwork. In that week's M3, Melai gives us 5 tips to save allowance while we are on a date.

5) Bring her to a restaurant filled with exotic foods. She doesn't like exotic foods such as "nilagang bayawak", "sinigang na buwaya" or "adobong cobra". "I thought you like it..." LOL

4) Ask her if she wants to got to a spa. If she said yes, be the masseur. (Tsansing included) ^_^

3) Ask her to eat at the seafood restaurant, then go to the park for fishing.

2) Go to the theme park but buy only one ticket.

1) Pretend you're health conscious. "Want to go jogging but its still raining?"

These are Melai Cantiveros' top 5 tips to save money while on a date... and that's M3.

New Premacy (CWEFW) vs. New Serena C26

The new third-generation Mazda Premacy (known as the Mazda 5):

and the all-new, fourth-generation, Nissan Serena C26

Both of these Japanese minivans are fuel-efficient, family-friendly, idling-stop powered, eco-minivans, but which eco-friendly minivan takes the center stage among Japanese families?

CASE ONE:

Launched in Japan since July 1, 2010, the new Mazda Premacy (Mazda 5) is powered with the fuel-efficient 2.0-litre LF-VDS engine packed with Mazda's innovative i-stop idling stop system. This engine packs a power output of 150PS and the outstanding fuel economy of 16.0km/L. Although I admit it that the Premacy is more fuel efficient than any other JDM minivans. I just really hope that Mazda Philippines gets one of these eco-friendly minivan. The design was borrowed from the Mazda Axela (Mazda 3), making it a nice minivan we wish to have.

CASE TWO:

Available this late November 2010, the new Nissan Serena C26 is the fourth of the Nissan Pure Drive range, a range consisting of eco-cars such as the new Nissan March K13, X-Trail Clean Diesel, and Fuga (Infiniti M) Hybrid. Under the hood, the new Serena C26 is powered with the new direct-injection MR20DD engine complete with Idling Stop system and Nissan's XTRONIC CVT. The fuel economy of the new Nissan Serena C26 is about 15.4km/L. Sadly, its fuel economy was not good enough to outperform the fuel economy of the new Premacy.

Rest assured. The Mazda Premacy stacks up against the Nissan Serena, but if style was an issue, the new Nissan Serena wins. Think of it minivan fanatics, no matter which of these are fuel efficient, you still want to decide by yourself. Both of these are a winner to me.

No buts!

No buts!

No buts! - A title of Mami Kawada's maxi single CD containing the theme song of To Aru Majutsu no Index II, No buts!, is just one of the many reasons how Majutsu no Index II is exciting to watch more than the first season.

This Maxi Single contains two song, one is the theme song of To Aru Majutsu no Index II, and another one is new to Mami Kawada fans. I guess we all know that this title of the song says it all, No buts means NO BUTS! Because the title of the song is No buts, I don't really need a reason how great this theme song is.

No Buts is one kick-butt song Index fans would love to hear it!

LIMITED EDITION:
There is also a limited edition for this Maxi Single! Not only it packs the music CD, but also the DVD for the music video of No Buts, and an alternate cover featuring Mikoto Misaka and Index! Best to buy it because its a limited availability!

High School of the Dead Original Soundtrack

High School of the Dead Original Soundtrack

The title says it all, High School of the Dead (日本名: 学園黙示録) is a killer anime series combines action, horror, and fanservice offered on that anime series that has a killer look among fans. It's Ikki Tousen meets Resident Evil due to the fanservice and the killer fight scenes offered that is oh so Rated M for Mature.

For those who enjoyed the killer anime series, Geneon Universal provided a killer soundtrack based on the killer anime series. It contains most of the in-anime BGMs composed by Takafumi Wada, which each tracks might pack of a killer tone, and two TV-sized versions of the opening and the first closing theme of the series.

Guess this soundtrack is fair enough to relive the killer moments, killer fanservice, killer fight scenes, and every little thing that made High School of the Dead a killer action-packed anime otakus liked. If looks could kill, this anime kills more than other horror anime series.

Joke's on the bike, Bureche! And Sure Bubble Round Two...

On that November 12 episode of Bubble Gang Kin-Z:

- Gags involve on "who ate something in the refrigerator?"

- Is their boss gay?

- Another episode on Cheche Bureche where Dad bought a bike as a gift. The bike belongs to Cheche. When Dad's gone, Bureche wants to ride a bike until she got ran over by the car! The bike joke is kinda similar on some "Ang Spoiled" episode, where the part where Angelina throw someone else's bike to the streets, Yaya tries to grab it, and Yaya got hit by a car.

- A genie who can grant your wish at the cost of your girl's clothing!

- Shooting for the movie gone awkward because of the kamag-anak

-  Tsismis with the girls

- Round Two of the Survivor Philippines spoof, Sure Bubble, challenges the survivors on the marshmallow-eating challenge. The rules are simple; three pairs of two, one man and one woman. Grab the marshmallow using their mouth and eat it with the partner together. Marshmallow game seems more similar to some game I'm familiar of. Loser goes to Sam Pinto and Antonio Aquitania, and the punishment; get themselves tickled!

- A new technique by some Japanese doctor (guest star Jacky Woo) to treat sore eyes.

When I woke up, logged in to my Twitter account, I notice something that one of the keywords was in the trending, and the trending keyword on twitter is none other than GT5.

It is trending because there is an announcement:
