Another minor tweaks...

Lamborghini Gallardo

Yesterday, there was another update applied on Gran Turismo 5, and for that Update 1.06; there was some numerous changes occur; most are highly generous but some don't;

- Remote Racing debut! Pit your shared B-Spec drivers online against other players who have shared B-Spec drivers for this kind of race. It applies on the Community section of GT Mode. 

- If you see a friend share his/her own car online, you can borrow it!

- Gear ratios, weight adjustments, and power limiters added

- Performance Points included to make it more challenging. Think of it like Performance Index. If you host a race online, you can now set rules on this kind of regulation.

- Replays of 2-player races can now be saved!

- Amateurs who reached Level 30 and taking on the Red Bull X Challenge at the Special Events section deserved a generous chance because the lap times are now adjusted. This is great for amateur players trying to win the King of Gran Turismo cars.

- Prize money reverted back to normal but experience points are now increased. This is great to increase their A-Spec experience and if they reach Level 40, they are ready to buy the ultra expensive X1 Prototype in different colors!

- Stricter penalties in Special Events section

- You can select multiple items while holding the L1 button

- If you own an internet cafe jam-packed with multiple PS3s and multiple copies of GT5, the Multi-Monitor feature is a great feature because you can watch multiple races in multiple scenarios!

- Controller Steering Sensitivity added to give players relying on Stick Controller an edge of cornering.

Oh, I've wasted my bananas...(...about the Juanita Banana finale)

Bananas are every Kapamilya's best friend. A banana made us laugh, but sometimes a banana made us cry. That's why ABS-CBN did a remake on Juanita Banana. It looks odd why ABS-CBN made another show that has "Banana" on its title, just like Goin Bananas and Banana Split. No wonder Kapamilyas love bananas because these fruits are fun to express joy to every Filipinos.

Juanita Banana ending

In order to save her mother, her father Val, her siblings, her love interest Joaquin, her best friend, her biggest rival Donya Digna, Aunt Margaux, and others, Juanita makes a choice if she has to marry the prince of dwarfs, Rikitik or not. As everyone pleads to Juanita not to leave the human world forever, Prince Rikitik decided to let Juanita go. When he explained to his father, the King of the Dwarf World, Prince Rikitik decided not to marry Juanita but marrying a princess from another Dwarf World.

Later on, everyone thanked Juanita because she was free, her family's reunited, her siblings apologized to Juanita's mom (well that's how you get to have a real mom, Bubwit), Juanita's best friend Maryukit lends Margaux a handkerchief to cry on, Juanita's father, Val, accepted Juanita for what happened, Margaux admitted defeat, and Donya Digna apologized to Juanita.

Moments later, Prince Rikitik married a princess from another dwarf kingdom.

...and that concludes the most delicious daytime TV comedy-drama that smiled and cried most Kapamilyas for bananas, Juanita Banana. I wonder what's next for the beauty queen who played Juanita Banana, Bianca Manalo? Gosh, we felt so sorry over Bianca Manalo's status but that's okay, there's hope for the beauty queen after the drama's ending.

See you soon, Ms. Bianca Manalo, and remember what she said "Wanna eat a banana?"

Lend an Extra Hand Prototype, anyone?

Ryan Bang, as Igor Stojokovic Krystic, in Banana Split's Tekkie Muna for Feb. 18, invented something handful! Something that is called an Extra Hand Prototype!

Igor Stojokovic Krystic invented
the Extra Hand Prototype!

Did this inventor created a hand? Not just any ordinary hand, it's an Extra Hand Prototype! LOL

Just how handful is this handy hand? Imagine you broke into a fight. Then someone will apologize and shake hand. When he shake your hand, it's not your hand, it's the Extra Hand Prototype! He's running away screaming like a girl! HA! HA!

There are other uses for this Extra Hand Prototype such as back-scratching, wiping you buttocks in place of toilet paper, slapping, and choking!

Anyway, that's the hand that is hand-made by Igor Stojokovic Krystic in Banana Split's Tekkie Muna! ROFL

Samurai Selections

Toyota Mark X

Back when the second-generation Toyota Mark X (known in Mainland China as the Reiz) launched in mid-October 2009, Toyota Motor Corporation adopted the SAMURAI concept for the new model. The term "SAMURAI X" really scored a spot for the new Toyota Mark X because of its sharp design and a powerful aura only a spirited driver can wield its true power of this executive sedan. In February 14, 2011, Valentines Day, the Toyota Mark X Zio (unrelated to the Mark X sedan) multipurpose vehicle made a mid-life refresh and it has an aggressive face on the regular and a elegant front grille on the Aerial variant. How are these two Samurais differ?

2010 Toyota Mark X

First of all, the second-generation Toyota Mark X is an improved version of the first-generation Mark X. The Toyota Mark X was the successor of the legendary Toyota Mark II sedan and it rivals the Nissan Fuga, which is the successor of the legendary Nissan Cedric and Gloria twin sedans. Upon taking a peek on the second-generation model, I'm impressed that the new Mark X is the SAMURAI X within reach, just like the TV commercial with Koichi Sato. Three styles are offered for the new Mark X; Standard Type for basic, Premium Type for enhanced luxury, and Sports Type for the aggressive driving. My pick was the Sports Type because this is the best style suited to be called a samurai.

2012 Toyota Mark X Zio

Dubbed as the Grand Station Wagon, the latest facelift for the Mark X Zio is now worthy to be called "SAMURAI WAGON" and its probably thanks to the latest TV commercial starring Yusuke Iseya. In 2007, the Mark X Zio is a new station wagon, highly unrelated to the Mark X sedan. The name "Zio" is an acronym for "Zone in One". By terms of Zone in One, the interior can be set to either Sedan type, Wagon type, or Minivan type, perfecting different arrangements offered on this Samurai Wagon. Two styles are offered on the Zio; the regular Mark X Zio boasts an aggressive face while the Mark X Zio Aerial has an elegant front grille, making it more sophisticated for the spirited adventurer. It can seat up to six, while some can seat up to seven. There's also a Mark X Zio variant, called "Five Style", that can allow up to five people to seat.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The Mark X's concept is "SAMURAI X" and the new Mark X Zio's concept is "SAMURAI WAGON", both of these Samurai Selections are a deadly combo for Toyota. Think about it, the Mark X sedan is made for the spirited businessmen while the Mark X Zio station wagon is made for the spirited adventurers. Which samurai will you take on?

Axela Minor Change + SKYACTIV! (..and we're still waiting for the new Mazda 3 to reach our shores!)

Mazda Axela SKYACTIV

While we, Filipino car addicts, crying over our poor predicament to the new second-generation Mazda 3 (known in Japan as the Mazda Axela), the Japanese automaker behind the phenomenal i-stop automatic start stop system tease us even further with the Second Phase of the second-generation Mazda Axela/3 and with the addition of the new SKYACTIV engine!
