It's when two worlds collide when we have Zanjoe Marudo (The Wedding, Banana Split, Kristine), Toni Gonzaga, Eugene Domingo (Comedy Bar, Ang Tanging Ina series), and Wendell Ramos (Bubble Gang, Babaeng Hampaslupa, The Sisters, Sugo Mga Kapatid) come together to this wedding of the year and you are all cordially invited to this mayhem of humor and tear-shedding drama.

This movie pits the two female stars as cousins having two different views. Toni plays the role of Belay, a simple woman who was later worked as a Japayuki under her "Maribel" name. She does everything for the sake of one man played by Zanjoe Marudo. Eugene Domingo, on the other hand, played as Precy, a housewife who lives uncomfortably with her husband played by Wendell Ramos because of unfortunate events.

Most moviegoers found out that this movie is a bit too okay for them but this comedy-drama movie lacks some taste from other related movies such as Here Comes the Bride and I DO. It does not bore moviegoers but it lacks the fun factor, thus making it more redundant than it meets our expectations. I think this movie needs a little more sugar and spice for the laughing sensation.

Even though the storyline is too disruptive, the acting of both Toni and Eugene are sensational. I think these two are highly active than Zanjoe and Wendell.

Consider it a good movie to watch but we'll label it as "UNCOOL"

ムムマッファって何？

Riisa Naka

Japanese viewers find themselves confused after seeing the latest commercial for the second-generation Toyota Passo (トヨタ・パッソ) starring Japanese actress, Riisa Naka (仲里依紗). It was something like "ムムマッファ".

Oh dear, we don't really know what "ムムマッファ" is. Even the Japanese viewers got confused upon hearing the "ムムマッファ" word Riisa Naka said on the Toyota Passo commercial!

Waah! I'm confused!

7.47:79

A prototype racing machine made by Toyota, called Toyota TMG EV P001, broke the record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife under the lap time of 7.47:49!

Toyota Europe's plan for using the Electric Racecar protortype at the Nurburgring was to accumulate a eight-minute target time but as the TMG EV P001 armed and ready at the ring, the results are much greater than the target time! A lap record of 7.47:49 should be enough to take out the record held by the Peugeot EX1 concept, which set a lap time of 9.01:33. This should call the TMG EV P001 the fastest electric racecar at the Nurburgring. Well done, Toyota. The EV technology became the trend of tomorrow's racing.

PRESS RELEASE:

Toyota Electric Racer Sets New Lap Record at Nürburgring

COLOGNE (Germany) - Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) has set a new lap record for an electric vehicle (EV) at the legendary 20.8km Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany.

The TMG EV P001, with 100% electric powertrain and Jochen Krumbach at the wheel, set a new lap record of 7mins 47.794secs to beat the previous lap record, which stood at 9mins 1.338secs, by a very substantial margin.

Using two electric motors, the TMG electric powertrain has a top speed of 260km/h which combined with 800Nm of torque to achieve impressive speeds on the extremely challenging Nordschleife track, which includes significant elevation changes and lengthy flat-out sections.

TMG's target prior to the 29 August record run was to become the first electric vehicle break the eight-minute barrier and this was achieved comfortably on a day when the notoriously changeable Nürburgring weather stayed fine, although track temperatures were relatively low.

Such performance shows TMG's electric powertrain is ideal to power any future single-make electric motorsport series and TMG will begin commercial sales of this technology in 2012. TMG continues to advance its electric vehicle capability for motorsport applications with in-house development of the electric powertrain and ongoing investigations into alternative chassis solutions.

Pascal Vasselon, TMG's Technical Director, said: "The goals for this project were twofold: obviously we wanted to set a new EV lap record and I am very pleased we could achieve that so comprehensively. On the other hand, we also wanted to learn more about the operation of our electric powertrain in extreme circumstances; in motorsport there is no more extreme circuit than the Nürburgring. On the record lap the TMG EV P001 performed better than in testing due to the improvement we already could make based on that experience. We have enhanced our electric powertrain development thanks to the information our engineers have gained and our future EV products will benefit from this project."

Rob Leupen, TMG's Director Business Operations, said: "This is a very impressive achievement which really shows the huge potential for electric powertrains to deliver fast, exciting action on the race track. There's no doubt that electric motorsport can be every bit as thrilling as traditional racing and it was an amazing sensation to watch the TMG electric vehicle fly past on the Nordschleife, with only the sound of wind rushing past and tyres squealing. To achieve a new lap record at the first attempt, and by such a huge margin, is a great achievement and I am very proud to see TMG's name in the record books. But this is not the end of the story for TMG and I hope we will see our electric powertrains in action on the track again soon."

The new lap record was completed on road-legal tyres, using the complete Nordschleife track. It was verified by independent lap timing.

TMG extends its thanks to its partners in this achievement: Aguti created and implemented the livery concept while rational motion integrated the electric powertrain, traction battery and control strategies. EVO Electric motor technology delivered the power. The TMG EV P001 is based on a Radical chassis as modified by TMG for e-WOLF.

The Lancia Flavia lives...in Convertible form

2012 Lancia Flavia

Back in the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, both the Chrysler 200 and the 200 Convertible debuted under the Lancia Flavia name. The new Lancia Flavia is the European version of the Chrysler 200 however, there are rumors that Fiat will not bring the Lancia Flavia to Europe because the company's diesel engine is too expensive to fit in.

However, Fiat gave a green light for the production-form Lancia Flavia...in convertible form. Why convertible? Despite a gasoline-only offer, the convertible is much more attractive than the sedan version.

Which means, the Chrysler 200 sedan will stay stateside while the 200 Convertible will be exported to the Europe as the Lancia Flavia.

Eventually, Lola Melai would have tell us the story about "Ang Alamat ng Pan De Coco" but whatever, let us tell the summary of this story:

Is Nissan ending the production of Teana?

2009 Nissan Teana

Earlier, I read a unsuspecting rumor on the internet saying that Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. will cease production of the Teana midsize sedan, starting next year, because of sluggish sales and the continuation of the strong Yen.

That article was written in Japanese, but I managed to Google translate it.

Is there a possibility that Nissan will cease production of the Teana midsize sedan? Oh my...

Audi TT RS - Forza 3 Owner's View

The Audi TT RS strolls around Suzuka

You know PGA Cars never sold the TT RS
in the Philippines but, what's that plate doing?

FINAL IMPRESSION: The Audi TT RS Coupe. A 4WD high-performance coupe that produces 340PS/5400rpm in power output, 450Nm/1600rpm of torque output, top speed limited to 250kmh, and 0-100kmh in 4.6 seconds. It is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission for the fun-to-drive feeling. Here in Forza 3, the Audi TT RS is focused solely on its style, performance, and packaging. Most players find this car very amusing than the standard second-generation Audi TT because of its agility and the willpower to take against all odds.

Aside from that, players find this car their "everyday car" because they can decorate anything with decals and vinyls handmade by players to bring out some taste of glamour to the Audi TT RS. I often get a chance to take advantage to Post-it something on the TT RS' rear view because of...plates handmade by me. For instance, the "PGA Cars" plate I made really confuse others thinking that the Audi TT RS was sold in the Philippines via PGA Cars (which is the official Audi distributor of the Philippines) but honestly, PGA Cars never sold the Audi TT RS Coupe to the Philippines but only a handful of gray market imports would know about that.

I really like the way the Audi TT RS behaves...

1シリーズMクーペ X 河口まなぶ

On that video; Manabu Kawaguchi explains more about his impressions about the 1 Series M Coupe, the junior elite of the BMW M Power, while making the laps at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway. We were happy to see that video having Kawaguchi-san got behind the wheel of the junior elite member of the BMW M Power line-up, which is the BMW 1-Series M Coupe!

Love KOREPINO? Here's more!

Ryan Bang's here again for some KOREPINO words we all love to hear it from him! First off, the Korean word of "deep" is "Gip Eun" but it sounds like Gapan, Nueva Ecija! Then, the Korean word for "Yellow" is "Norang" but is sounds like Nora Aunor! WALANG HIMALA!

The doctor

For the headline, the doctor of the former president asked a plan for another operation of the former president's neck. One suggestion is...change to a much longer neck!
