Moshidora (2011 film)

Moshidora (2011 Film)

Peter Ferdinand Drucker (1909-2005) wrote a book that reveals the hidden truth behind the word "management" and how respectful company leaders read the book Peter Drucker wrote, gained potential in management.

Moshi Koko Yakyu no Joshi Manager ga Drucker no 'Management' o Yondara or MoshiDora for short, which translates to What if a Japanese Female Baseball Manager Read Peter Drucker's 'Management, is last year's best-seller novel highlights about a young teenage high school student named Minami Kawashima who takes place as the acting manager for the school's baseball team while her friend was sick. She's having a hard time managing a baseball team and she finds some help at the bookstore where she bought the "Management" book by mistake. It's a minor mistake for Minami because she was confused between the words "Manager" and "Management" at the same time. But then, something good happened to her after she bought the wrong book. The words and quotes of Peter Drucker's Management motivated Minami Kawashima and led the baseball team she manages to victory.

This best-seller novel spawned an anime version aired on NHK for 10 straight episodes and now, the movie version is now here and it stars AKB48's Atsuko Maeda as Minami Kawashima. Come to think of it, the best-seller novel that spawned both the anime and the live-action movie was an aggressive approach to bring Drucker's message to the viewers and inspire them the true meaning of leadership and one day, you will know what is the truth behind management and how you use it is up to you.

Atsuko Maeda's overall audience impact is somewhat a home run but the story stays true to the novel itself but with some minor changes happened. You can't tell what is the difference between the story from the MoshiDora novel, the MoshiDora anime previously aired on NHK since Spring 2011, and now Summer 2011's MoshiDora movie. Good to know that there are lessons learned and Peter Drucker Management quotes you may need to remember in order to be a successful leader in the future. Feel free to find out how does Drucker Management help you and what you can say about the inspirational MoshiDora.

Nissan GT-R Spec V - Forza 3 Owner's View

Lexus LFA vs. Nissan GT-R at
Silverstone


A counterfeit NISMO GT-R RC
racing through the Nurburgring

Houki Shinonono itasha GT-R Spec V
(Godzilla smells like Tsubaki shampoo!)




Final Impressions: When I heard about Forza Motorsport 3's Hot Holidays Car Pack, which includes the Nissan GT-R R35 Spec V, it was like what was that and how can I get that? Now, with the Ultimate Collection in hand, I had the urge to grab Godzilla with my own hands. Wow, Godzilla is sure is hungry for opponents at Forza 3.

When modified and rightly decorated, the GT-R Spec V made it more like it was qualified at the FIA GT1 and whoever owns Godzilla has the right to modify and decorate any way they want. They can also create a replica of the Nismo GT-R RC or the GT-R racing machines as seen on the FIA GT1. Every GT-R mods are different and how to use it is up to you.

The GT-R Spec V is the Godzilla of all the Godzillas because of its performance and in Forza 3, modifying Godzilla is a trial and error process.

We're digging for jokes!

Let's see what we dug on the June 3, 2011 episode of "new" Lokomoko on TV5:

- Mine gags got the miners gone "mine"

- Another B.C. Bisihan episode where our Neanderthal pals created the "first"  footwear.

The first footwear

- More jokes from "Talentadong Family";

1) Paradise - Kasi kahapon naglalaro kami ng kumare ko ng mahjong, tapos hinahalo namin yung pitsa, tapos nahulog yung dice. Nagalit sa akin si kumare. Sabi ko "sus, PARADISE lang eh!"

2) Ano ang tawag sa saging na nasa stick? Bananacue! Sa kamote na nasa stick? Camotecue! Baboy na nasa stick? Barbecue! Kabayo na nasa stick? Carousel!

3) If they said "sige", Jojong Bingi said "sine".

4) Delicious - Inday! Duster yung ipapadala ko. DELICIOUS!

5) Delicacy - Kanina, nakita ko yung asawa mo natapilok! Nagmama-DELICACY!

6) Chairman - Yung aso ng kapitbahay, ang tapang-tapang. Siguro, CHAIRMAN shepherd yun.

7) Thirty-two - Don't touch that, that's dirty! Don't touch that also, that's THIRTY-TWO!

- One of Wanlu's puppets, Nicolo, asks more to the gang.

Nicolo speaks

- Another round of Whose Line Is It...Anyhow?! on the June 3, 2011 episode of "new" Lokomoko on TV5! Here are the lines;

1) We serve and protect! - Condom

2) Patay ka! Wala ka nang lusot! - Dead End

3) Ang dami niyong sumasawsaw! - Patis

4) Lagi na lang akong napagkamalang kulay! - Yelo

"Hanggang saan aabot ang twenty pesos mo?"

Anything happened at the June 3, 2011 episode of Bubble Gang?

- Suppose your parents asked you at the table and you said you are unhappy with the college course you're parents enrolled you. What course do you want? We prefer these Bubble Gags as a course.

- There's no way Bureche can't get the balloon that high!

Bureche can't reach the balloon
that high!

- Well, looks like the dying deserved a special treat we called "Funeral Shower"

- Hanggang saan aabot ang twenty pesos mo? Bubble Gang does Selecta Cornetto by spoofing this commercial as Selesta Surenetto! Sarap ng twenty!

Bubble Gang does Selecta Cornetto!

- The two boys figuring out that selling sago and orange juice is harder than what they think.

Sago for sale

The end of the 21st century Mara Clara

Mara Clara ending


Mara Clara ending



The Mara Clara ending is what everyone's been talking about since the original. It turned out to be one of the best endings ever experience since the 21st century Mara Clara aired on late 2010 as the remake of the classic 1992 drama that starred Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes. By interest, two Goin Bulilit graduates, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes were the 21st century Mara Clara fans loved.

On the final episode, fugitive Gary David (Jhong Hilario) kidnapped his wife Susan (Mylene Dizon) and Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) for torture until he wants Alvira Del Valle (Dimples Romana) back. Susan told the truth that she is pregnant to Gary and the whole lie was just protection so her child would not be just like that bastard. Before Alvira, Amante (Bobby Andrews), and Clara (Julia Montes) rushed to Gary David's whereabout, Nanay Lupe (Gina Pareno) persuaded them to keep Gary alive if they have the chance. While the three rushed through the warehouse, Gary begins the torture against Mara by placing her at the water tank to let her die. With Mara at the water tank, the two fathers showed up for their last showdown. The final showdown is on but Amante got pushed over by Gary. With all the struggles, Clara approaches to the water tank to save her rival Mara. With Mara OK, Amante survived the fall and the worse gets even worst when Gary's about to do some hard time against Alvira. He was about to kill her but Susan foiled her husband's evil plot. Gary's about to kill Susan but Clara took the bullet. With Clara took the hit, Susan stabbed Gary with a pipe she used earlier. The threat is over. The cops are here, and Nanay Lupe approaches to Gary, her son, and he said his last words before his untimely death (?).

At the mental correction, Clara encountered her father (again). Was Gary alive? Nah, that's just Clara's imagination because Clara's at the mental correction. Mara approaches to Clara and she told that Susan gave birth to a healthy child. There is still hope for the both of them and things are looking back to the way it was.

Now onto my final impressions, the 21st century Mara Clara was aired in late 2010 as part of ABS-CBN's new genre of reviving classic dramas with a fresh generation. Both Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes are highly impressive pulling out what they got from them to satisfy fans. Even when the 21st century Mara Clara ended, the future of both Kathryn and Julia still looks bright indeed and we're looking forward for them what comes next for them. Thank you very much!
