infinite synthesis

infinite synthesis


Most fans of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun always recognize fripSide, responsible for the opening themes from the Railgun anime such as "only my railgun" and "Level 5 -Judgelight-". They also sang "future gazer", the theme song from the Railgun OVA.

OK, time for my Saten-Uiharu fanfic to describe what's in the album...

Uiharu: What's this?


Saten: It's fripSide's 1st album, titled infinite sythesis!


Uiharu: infinite synthesis?


Saten: Correct!


Uiharu: What's in this album? I wanna hear it, Saten-san.


Saten: This album contains 13 fripSide tracks, including our favorite songs such as only my railgun, LEVEL5-judgelight-, and future gazer. (Giggle) Can't wait to listen on this CD!


Uiharu: Let me listen to that too!


Saten: Of course!

OK, no time for fanfic, but anyway this CD features 13 tracks most fripSide fans will love, including songs from the Railgun anime. There is also a song titled "everlasting" that was heard on the "Ah! My Goddess!" Volume 42 OVA (you know in Japan, there was an OVA included as a limited-edition on that Ah My Goddess manga).

LIMITED EDITION:
Not only fripSide fans can enjoy this album, there's a limited edition DVD included. This DVD includes the music video of "everlasting", behind the scenes of this music video, TV commercial, and meet fripSide on a documentary called HISTORY OF fripSide 2009-2010. Also on the limited edition is a 12-page booklet.

If Uiharu and Saten had the time to listen to this CD, maybe everyone's going to love fripSide's 1st Full Album courtesy from Geneon Universal!

Action-packed Goin Bulilit special!

Goin Bulilit special episode - Huwag Mo Akong Galitin

Last November 28, we enjoyed a very special Christmas episode of Goin Bulilit titled "Sa Araw ng Pasko".

On December 5, 2010, Goin Bulilit aired an awesome action-packed special episode titled "Huwag Mo Akong Galitin (Don't Make Me Mad)". A special episode is about an ex-convict (Nash Aguas) who was freed from prison to start a new life. He was imprisoned because of the snatcher situation, where he was going to save a female victim from a snatcher but the female victim turned out to be the snatcher and the victim was a policeman.

He was going to undo his past (and his cowardliness)...

A tale of revenge never tasted this sweet. Revenge is a dish best served cold, but in this Goin Bulilit special, revenge never tasted this delicious.

Better get out of here before I get blown up by some Stinger missile!

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
Since Summer 2010, Cadillac unveiled the new CTS Coupe and CTS-V Coupe for those who are looking for grand touring comfort whatever they want. They loved the new Cadillac CTS-V Coupe because of its aggressive character and a supercharged V8 engine. If I choose between the Caddy CTS-V Coupe or the Audi RS5, I would choose the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe because it has more horsepower than the Audi RS5. Hah, no other European high-performance coupes can take out the CTS-V Coupe.

With the CTS-V comes with the Sedan and Coupe, there's a newcomer to the Cadillac CTS-V family, and it was based on the CTS Sport Wagon. A CTS-V Sport Wagon? Would that be even possible? This high-performance wagon isn't quite a possible strategy for General Motors, but I think this is more of a threat to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate. With the E63 AMG Estate's power output is 518HP, then the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon's power is 556HP! Now this made-in-North-America high-performance sports tourer has something shared from its sedan and coupe variants to take out these Euro-born monsters.

The CTS-V carries the same features from the CTS-V sedan and coupe such as control arm front suspension, Multi-Link rear suspension, Brembo brakes, dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control, Bose 5.1 surround sound system, standard navigation system, and a choice of two transmission types; a 6-speed 6L90 automatic or a 6-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual. Most enthusiasts prefer the manual variant because the manual transmission is part of being a true sports car and this can also be applied on the CTS-V Wagon.

My thoughts about the CTS-V Wagon:

Is it fine to have a high performance wagon for me? I think this is awkward for me but who cares, this is a American high-performance wagon. This will promise to blow away the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate at the inch of its power output. This CTS-V Wagon is one angry fire-breathing sports wagon!

Will this be a hit? I can't tell...

Honda CR-Z at GT5







Seems that the world's first sport hybrid car from Honda made its first appearance at a racing video game, especially Gran Turismo 5.

Driving the Honda CR-Z in Gran Turismo 5 feels like I'm driving the CR-Z for real.

Boy, am I glad that I had my first taste on the world's first hybrid sport car. Most say its a dull ride, others said this is a true eco warrior.

The best 2010 cars according to Top Gear

It's almost the end of the year, and it seems everyone's favorite car magazine (and TV car magazine show), Top Gear has the list of their best cars of 2010. Here's the list:

Car of the Year and Small Car of the Year - CITROEN DS3

Hypercar of the Year - KOENIGSEGG AGERA

Cabrio of the Year - MASERATI GRANCABRIO

Grand Tourer of the Year - BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT

Seems that Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond never get their hands dirty to make the list of the best cars of 2010...

I wonder if someone from Top Gear Philippines made their own list of best 2010 cars...





"I'm Bang... James Bang"

What happened in the December 4 episode on ABS-CBN's Banana Split:

- fresh showbiz news at Balitang Siksik Showbiz Edition (Yeah, glad to be back, Angelica...)

- More Christmas jokes

- Kuya Keem (John Prats) tells more on basketball. Some basketball maniac interrupts Kuya Keem and Kuya Keem challenges this basketball maniac to a one-on-one battle. Kuya Keem won. Now you know.

- Banana Split commercial spoof! They spoofed the Vaseline sachet commercial, gagged as Gaseline

- Ryan Bang spoofs James Bond as "James Bang"

- some dances

We had fun at the first episode of Laugh Out Loud

The new show, Laugh Out Loud, is the next big thing since Just For Laughs and Wow Mali (now Wow Meganon). It was hosted by the charismatic Luis Manzano and Alodia Gosiengfiao (most anime fans remember her as the Cosplay Queen of the Philippines and she was "aIDOLa", one of the Ani-Mates from Animax Asia) and features nothing more but a variety of gags and pranks that made them go LOL.

In the pilot episode, Luis and Alodia invited a group of guests such as Ketchup, Empoy, Alwyn Uytingco, JM De Guzman, and Alyson Lualhati as the Laugh Team for the week. Pranks include Papa Picture (where a female gets one male to get pictured together), Jurassic I.D. (you can't gain access with a super large, carton-made, ID card), Parte People (use different body parts to gain access), Celeb Taxi (who's going to the CR after long taxi trips with a guest star driver?), Please Evacuate (someone at the office gets a surprise visit the CR!), and Electricute (someone who seats at the bench was unknowingly shocked by electric sounds).

That show is much more like Just For Laughs because of the gags pulled to trick other people for fun. I love it! I laughed at it! I enjoyed it!

Hope I can tune in next week for more gags and pranks on LOL!
