Well, I gotta admit it that those two roles Xyriel Manabat played were too close about "second chances" but these two roles are different by any means;
First off, Momay is a little girl who died on an accident (most notably that Auntie Hillary killed Momay by turning off some kind of life support), and later Heaven gave Momay a second chance as a ghost to protect her family (such as her younger brother Justin "Jay-Jay" and her mother Shirley).
Then, there's Anna Manalastas, a violent business tycoon who spends her life ruining the lives of everyone that stands in her way with her words "You're fired, kuha mo?" Anna Manalastas died on some kind of a car explosion and upon her encounter with the Heaven's gate keeper, the gate keeper told Anna that she caused major damages and she deserves to be punished but Anna said she wants to deserve a second chance and she has to correct all hew wrongdoings in as little as 100 days in order to be accepted from Heaven. Problem is, she's back and this time, Anna became a little girl.
Those two roles share the same theme of "second chances" but they are different, you know what I'm saying. If it's "Oh My!" or "You're fired! Kuha mo?", these two roles Xyriel Manabat played are too cute and I'm very proud about those.
In the past, I witnessed Momay tries her best to save her family with a little help from a timid boy named Andrew. Now, little Anna Manalastas does whatever she can to correct all the damages she done, with a little help from a conniver named Sophia. Wow, they're not alone because both of these, the ghost and a businesswoman-who-died-and-then-deserved-for-second-chance-as-a-little-girl, are not alone to achieve their long-term missions with some trusted friends at their backs.
Guess I'm happy about little Xyriel Manabat's performance and what can I say? She's pretty cute and her way of acting provides warmth and laughs, making Xyriel earned many fans.
If you died and deserved a second chance, who do you going to prefer for a second chance of life? Being a ghost like Momay or being a little kid like Anna Manalastas from 100 Days To Heaven?
Momay from last year and 100 Days To Heaven (now on air) are all about second chances. Who do you prefer? Momay or little Anna? It's up to you! ^^

The third-generation Toyota Prius, launched since May 2009, became a sensational hit because of its top-tier fuel economy of 38.0km/L (10-15 mode, 32.6km/L on JC08 mode), making it the ultimate hybrid car for the masses. Now, the Prius family gets a lot bigger and with the addition of the first hybrid MPV, the Prius α "Alpha" (known in the North American market soon as the Prius V and in Europe as the Prius + "Plus"), Toyota created the plural form of Prius, which is officiallyPrii. If you're disagree with this plural form of Prius, well you're fired, kuha mo?

2012 Toyota Prius α
The Prius Alpha is Toyota's first hybrid MPV that uses the platform based on the third-generation Prius. With the concept of "Hybrid×Space" the Prius Alpha provides the same ecology power from the third-generation Prius now with the extended wheelbase and space that suits your lifestyle. This will go head-to-head with the upcoming Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid, coming soon this June. Normally the Toyota Prius Alpha is set to launch since late April 2011 but due to the sourcing problems because of the March 11 sinking of Tohoku, Toyota pushed the launch schedule straight to this date; May 13, 2011, the date that the Prius Alpha is set for its Japan debut! This is similar to the Honda Fit Shuttle that it was originally set for March 18 launched but delayed through the June 2011 release date with that same reason.
2012 Toyota Prius α
The Toyota Prius Alpha is the most ambitious creation from Toyota Motor Corporation, using the same 2ZR-FXE hybrid engine from the third-generation Prius, providing a standardized 99PS/5,200 rpm of power output and 142Nm/4,000rpm of torque output. However, the additional 3JM electric motor that produces 60kW of power output makes the Prius Alpha's 2ZR-FXE engine a direct response, accumulating up to 136PS of power output when you need it. The standard Continuously Variable Transmission is equipped for optimized fuel economy. As for the fuel economy, the Prius Alpha accumulates 26.2km/L on JC08 mode and 31.0km/L on 10-15 mode, With gas prices rising uncontrollably, it's good to know that the Prius Alpha is your only people carrier needed. Once more, you can set it to EV mode that allows the Prius Alpha's battery, sourced from Sanyo, to work and with the regenerative braking system, charging the Alpha's battery takes a single brake away.

The Toyota Prius Alpha has a choice of either a 5-seater or a 7-seater variants. As a multipurpose passenger vehicle, the Prius Alpha is bound to have seating arrangements. Pick your arrangements carefully depending on which situation you're on. There is a special grade applicable for the Prius Alpha 7-seater variant that features a panoramic roof (called Skylite Roof), giving them a perfect view to the blue skies and the blue moon. This makes it an adventurous hybrid MPV fit for the next Japanese summer vacation!
The Prius Alpha 5-seater and 7-seater comes with 8 exterior colors such as Super White II, White Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Gray Metallic, Black, Red Mica Metallic, Clear Stream Metallic, and Dark Blue Mica.
My comment:
The Prius family gets a lot bigger and starting from the addition of Prius Alpha MPV, the official plural word for Prius is Prii. Get it? PRII! If I hear you guys saying Priuses, not Prii, well you're fired, kuha mo?
Anyway, the Prius Alpha is finally here at Japan after its major major problem caused by the March 11 sinking of Tohoku, the Fukushima crisis, and parts shortage. With recovery takes place, Toyota's getting bullish about the Prius Alpha since gas prices keep going up uncontrollably just like radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Well, the "new problema" is, with Best Motoring gone for good, we may never see the Prius Alpha test drive at Tsukuba Circuit. If you want to test drive the Prius Alpha at Tsukuba Circuit, it's up to you.
The Prius Alpha will soon come in North America as the Prius V and in Europe as the Prius + "Plus", Asian arrival, especially the Philippines remains uncertain and I hope I'll have one as a grey market at Subic since this is an MPV.
With the success of last year's Citroen DS3, the first of Citroen's new DS (Different Spirit) line that characterizes more of a "premium youth" sub-brand, (much like Hyundai's Premium Youth Lab), the second book of the Citroen DS line begins and this time, it was based on the second-generation Citroen C4. Called DS4, the second runner of the Citroen DS range was heavily based on the Citroen DS High Rider Concept as seen at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Unlike the Citroen DS High Rider Concept, which has three doors on it, the Citroen DS4 is essentially a 5-door hatchback, noticeably the secret rear doors similar to the Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback. Is this what they called the successor of the axed Citroen C4 Coupe? The French car enthusiasts said "non" (French for no) because one hint at the Citroen DS4's secret rear door and they'll be ready to burst out their POV (points, opinions, violent reactions) why the production version of the DS High Rider concept added an additional two doors. Is the DS4 suppose to be the three door version of the Citroen C4 II? Forget about it, but still it was worth it because the DS4 is all about premium styling targeted for the "premium youth" in France.
2012 Citroen DS4 interior
The premium interior of the new Citroen DS4 is outstanding because of the high-tech features loaded on it. Although it was heavily derived from the Citroen C4 II, the DS4 made some modest order-made touches, and also take note, the highly luxurious front seats on the DS4 Sport Chic, in order to bring out its premium sedan-like amenities at the heart of this prestigious French 5-door hatchback. Now, if only France-tan would love to see this.
With France-tan steals the show with its gorgeous exterior, the Citroen DS4 offers six engine types such as the VTi 120, THP 150, THP 200, HDi 110, HDi 165, and the all-new e-HDi 110 loaded with micro-hybrid technology sourced from the Citroen C4 II. The micro-hybrid technology loaded on the Citroen DS4 e-HDi 110 provides the exceptional Idle Stop and Go function, which allows the diesel engine to be automatically shut off when stopped at the red light. There are three kinds of transmissions available on the DS4, depending on the variant, such as a 5-speed manual for those who are getting a head start at the DS4, a 6-speed manual transmission applicable for the hardcore DS4 owners, and the electronically controlled 6-speed manual transmission with paddle shifters.
My comment:
Despite it was a production version of the Citroen DS High Rider Concept, the Citroen DS4 was essentially a 5-door hatchback because of the secret rear doors similar to its biggest opponent, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. This is becoming a bad news for those who want to know that the DS4 is the replacement of the Citroen C4 coupe. As I thought, it was a "promise unfulfilled" for the enthusiasts but despite that, I'm really impressed about the DS4's elegant exterior that makes it more luxurious than the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Consider it a good choice but for the pricing, the DS4 takes a minor damage against the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. It's up to you to decide how far the DS4 goes.
Columbian Autocar Corporation, the official distributor of Kia Motors in the Philippines, announced their partnership with the world famous Philippine AZKALS. Wish that your favorite AZKALS members, especially James and Phil Younghusband were riding in which Kia models? The Philippine AZKALS' official Facebook and Twitter page will tell.
I think James and Phil Younghusband from the AZKALS would love to see this as part of the KIA-AZKALS collaboration. This was set by AZKALS team manager Dan Palami and CAC president Ms. Ginia Domingo.
Based on that photo, the Kia Sportage R is teased again and we're still waiting when will the Kia Sportage R arrives to the Philippines soon. Feels like nobody at CAC got the response and going AWOL.
