First, there were Etang-natics, now, there were Mutang-holics!

Yesterday on Banana Split, on the Dear Etang segment, Pokwang, as Ate Etang, called the viewers Etang-natics because this portion targets problematic maids and domestic helpers and come up with the solution. That's why Pokwang, as Ate Etang, called them "Etang-natics" because they love this new portion of Banana Split.

Now, on the February 10 episode, John Prats, as Kuya Keem, his take on Kuya Kim Atienza, called us "Mutang-holics" because we love John Prats' take on Matanglawin called "Mutanglawin" on Banana Split. On that segment, Kuya Keem tells us more on the most popular social network site known as Facebook! When Kuya Keem asked questions to someone claimed to be the roommate of the Facebook founder, he replied that "this is a good question!" Eh? LOL!

TOKYO CONNECTION

TOKYO CONNECTION

TOKYO CONNECTION is the mini-album released by the famous J-Pop Hip Hop duo, HALCALI (you may remember them from their version of Konya Ha Boogie Back, the song heard from the 2009 Nissan Cube TV commercial). If you were looking for the song, Marching March 80KIDZ Remix, the song from the 2011 Nissan March K13 Japanese TV commercial, well you're in luck car enthusiasts who are hunting for some car commercial songs. This was included in the list of seven remixed versions of HALCALI songs including Roman Hikou, Girl!Girl!Girl!, and Giri Choco.

A perfect treat for HALCALI fans (and also for the car addicts who are looking for the song from the Nissan March K13 TV commercial) to plug it in and slam dunk the funk with the remixed versions of their favorite HALCALI songs. At least, most J-Pop fans are familiar with HALCALI for sure.

Better plug this CD on the Nissan March K13's audio and enjoy!

Bank Robbery? Leave it to Alpha Beth!

Yes! Alpha Beth again on the February 9 episode of Banana Split! There was a bank robbery and the security guard's having a hard time catching the bad guys! This looks like a job for Alpha Beth, the alphabetic superhero!

She performs the most complicated trick in the history of Alpha Beth episodes; she throws a bamboo to the robbers and the word is "BAMBOO"! For this "BAMBOO" word, take away the extra O and arrange the letters A and O and its "BOMBA!" BOOM!

Oh wait! The katulongs and kasambahays who watched Banana Split experienced another round of Dear Etang, with Pokwang as Ate Etang reading a letter from the lavandera... Guess the katulongs and kasambahays are now Etang-natics. LOL

Eh? Kapamilya males guest star during Mara's 16th birthday?

Christian (Albie Casino) gives
Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) a green
rose

Hey guys! Did you saw last night's Mara Clara episode?

In some part of the episode, after Amante, apparently Mara's true father, danced with Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) for her 16th birthday, it seems that last night's episode throw a curve with the guesting of some Kapamilya males, including Sam Milby, Jason Abalos, Joem Bascon, there's even Zaijan Aranilla, Jericho Rosales, Rap Fernandez, or even Jake Cuenca. What an expendable guesting!

After that, Christian (Albie Casino) gives Mara a Green Rose. (?) OMG, the Green Rose is going to be refer to the upcoming ABS-CBN remake of the hit Korean drama, Green Rose, coming soon!

I always thought having Kathryn Bernardo being the new Mara is fabulous. I guess fans felt accepted over Kathryn Bernardo, especially on that special scene on last night's episode where Mara danced with her real father, some Kapamilya males, her best friend, and even Christian who gives her a Green Rose!

Bartender's Damoobs

Kuya Jobert as a bartender


One of my favorite Banana Split segments, Damoobs ni Kuya Jobert, is here again on the February 8 episode! We saw Kuya Jobert as a bartender at a bar, then some woman approached him and she wants to show how bartenders juggle. He's making some kind of Zombie cocktail and the segment ends where Kuya Jobert ended up being a zombie! (Get it? Zombie!)

BTW, in Ang TV Patrol, Pooh mentioned the event happened at the hit TV drama, Mara Clara, where their fates are now reversed after revealing their true parents. Does the fans want to rename it as Clara Mara? Nobody knows...
