Himekoi Drama CD

Himekoi Drama CD


Once upon a time, back in August 2010, one of Japan's biggest social media network, Gree, launched Himekoi (日本名:ヒメこい), a dating sim perfect for those Japanese cellphone customers who had it with their DS days of playing Loveplus. In that cellphone game, players can choose to hang out with Nadeshiko, Ayane, or Maki.

Because of the character design too similar from Loveplus, Mino☆Taro, the person behind the Loveplus character design tweeted that “The art from Gree’s new gal game isn’t Mino☆Taro’s~!”. It even caused an outrage among fans because they look similar to Nene Anegasaki, Takane Manaka, and Rinko Kobayakawa. As a matter of fact, Himekoi was nothing but a complete knock-off of Loveplus. Didn't see that thing coming right?

Because of copyright issues, Gree decided to end the Himekoi service on February 2011 and yes, it was for their own cause. To compensate this, the people behind Himekoi seek help to Geneon Universal Entertainment for the Himekoi Drama CD, a drama CD which brings Emiri Kato, Mamiko Noto, and Kanae Ito reprising their roles as Nadeshiko, Ayane, and Maki. Also, an original character appeared exclusively on this drama CD under the name of Reina, played by Kana Hanazawa.

The theme song of the drama CD is Mimosa, which was sung by Kotoko. This was a good song to listen and in fact, the storyline is a little bit more decent. We are not sure if this drama CD is good enough for those to compensate for their damages and reputation of being a cheap knock-off to Loveplus. It's a forgive and forget for us if we listen to this drama CD.

Hyundai Veloster in a 100 Days To Heaven episode!

Hyundai Veloster in a 100 Days To Heaven episode!?


It's a "hot in smoke" on Philippine television.

A White Crystal-colored Hyundai Veloster made a surprise appearance on a September 23, 2011 episode of 100 Days To Heaven! Never seen that thing coming, did it?

Take note that HARI will not bring the Veloster to the Philippines because of its GDI engine not suitable for the Philippines' dirty petrol but one smart question is, how did that car appeared in the Philippines too soon even though HARI would never bring the Veloster.

We are sure that this white Veloster is a gray-market unit sourced from South Korea. Kuha mo?

The Final Bullet of Guns and Roses

The last bullet of ABS-CBN's action drama, Guns and Roses, has been shot. And on the final shot of this TV drama, Abel Marasigan (Robin Padilla) has to risk everything he had to save Raine (Bea Alonzo) and his mother from the clutches of his Tsong, Phillip (Pen Medina), and Marcus Aguilar (Diether Ocampo) before its too late (about 30 minutes to be exact according to Phillip).

While Raine is under Marcus' prying eyes, Abel approaches to his Tsong's hideout and settle the scores with him. He has 20 minutes left to save the both of them but can Abel make it even though he doesn't have much time?

He stormed through the hideout, using his blend of CQC to fend off against his Tsong's men and saved his mother. After rescuing Abel's mother, he's off to rescue Raine.

Raine was held hostage by Phillip, who was the real Senyor who murdered Abel's father, and the showdown between Abel and his Tsong begins. With all of the persuasion, their revelations are slowly revealing and with that, Phillip shot Abel and with Abel shot, Abel tries to choke Phillip but Raine tries to persuade Abel. With that, Abel freed Raine but Abel got shot again by Phillip but luckily, Raine obtained Abel's gun and shot Phillip but if that didn't work, Marcus approached and shot Phillip. The nightmare's over, Marcus has decided to turn himself in, and Abel has been forgiven to Raine for all the sins he committed to avenge his father's death.

Three years have passed, with Marcus imprisoned and Phillip was in mental correction, Raine finally give birth to a newborn baby. After that, Abel unknowingly appeared behind Raine and the story of "Guns and Roses" have come to an end.

All about eAssist

2012 Buick LaCrosse


2012 Buick Regal

Back in November 2010, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, General Motors announced the next generation BAS (Belted Alternator System) Hybrid system called "eAssist" and the first models to be equipped with this new mild hybrid system are the 2012MY Buick LaCrosse and 2012MY Buick Regal.

Before we explain about the new eAssist system, let's talk about what just happened at the Buick LaCrosse and the Buick Regal for the 2012 Model Year. The change was the trim names. As of now, Buick will start ditching the CXL/CX/CXS trim names in favor of something specific like Base, Convenience, Leather, Premium, or Touring. That's all, let's explain about eAssist:

The new eAssist system features a powerful 115-Volt Lithium-ion battery sourced from Hitachi, generating a 20HP, 79lb-ft electric motor that provides aid to the 2.4L ECOTEC engine. This new system will provide useful features such as idling stop system, regenerative braking, and a fuel economy of 36MPG (15.3km/L) highway. The new eAssist system comes standard on the 2012 Buick LaCrosse but on the 2012 Buick Regal, it may be considered an optional feature. Either way, they both come with a modified version of the 6T40 6-speed AT FWD transaxle.

NASAAN KA ELISA?

Uh, excuse me. We're not referring to some new drama called "Nasaan Ka Elisa?"

Where was I? Oh yes! The singer behind the theme songs from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun and Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season of course!

Don't worry she's okay. Word from the mouth is that she's pausing her career due to health concerns according to her agency, Smile Company. This announcement came also with the cancellation her October 2 concert at the Tokyo Globe-za theater, especially her future concerts as well.

As of now, her official twitter account "elisa_tsubuyaki" has been removed for now. Sad to let her go but this is for her good cause.

マクラーレンF1のすべて

"I've always dreamt about doing a really high performance sports car on the road" - Gordon Murray

Back in the 1990's a decade before the rise of the Bugatti Veyron, a car company called McLaren created the world's most fastest supercar back then, under the name of McLaren F1. Just like the Bugatti Veyron, the McLaren F1 is one of the most exciting vehicles to drive for an elite driver. Just imagine, if you drive it on the streets of Tokyo, New York, Rome, Paris, London, especially Dubai, Geneva, and other exotic locations, it's no surprise that the McLaren F1 is highly seductive, even after a few decades have passed since its introduction to the world in May 1992, it still looks good enough. From its inception up until its demise in 1998, about 106 McLaren F1 models have been made and it costs half-a-million pounds back in 1993, making it the most expensive car to own back then.

McLaren F1 at Circuit de la Sarthe

The McLaren F1 is powered with the 6.1L V12 engine sourced from BMW, providing 627HP of power and 480.26ft-lb of torque. Fast fact that the McLaren F1's engine bay is lined with gold because gold is the best, it reflects, and a special 6-speed manual was developed because there is no existing gearbox that can survive the torque of the 6.1L BMW engine. The McLaren F1 is the world's first carbon fiber bodied car because most of the components are made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic. With such idea, the McLaren F1 weighs about 1140kg. What's so special is the interior because the driver's seat was positioned at the middle for some racing driver sensation. What a cool idea that Mr. Gordon Murray made it and I thank him for that. For a trivia: did you know that the McLaren F1's preferred audio system is Kenwood?

What will The Stig reacts to this one? Some say,
The Stig was impressed to drive the McLaren F1 or not

In Gran Turismo 5, the McLaren F1 costs about 1,000,000 credits and you need to be at Level 17 (A-spec or B-spec) to purchase this wonderful machine Gordon Murray created. Once you own it, you can tune it as far as about 840HP of power and 970kg of weight. That's lighter than a fully tuned Bugatti Veyron that weighs about 1424kg. If you've already watched a drag race between the McLaren F1 and the Bugatti Veyron in Dubai on a certain Top Gear episode, you should know that the McLaren F1 is ahead against the Veyron on a 0-100kph run but by 240kph, the Bugatti Veyron's spoiler kicks in, giving much speed to overtake the F1 and obliterate it. If the real-life McLaren F1 has no ABS and no Traction Control, I think you might apply it on GT5 as well, but without these driving aids, the McLaren F1 is hard to master because of the traction and the braking but once you'll get a hang of it, you'll get used to it.

Looks like Top Gun

Not exactly as good as a Bugatti Veyron but the McLaren F1 is finely the most elegant exotic GT5 players can try not only because of its heritage or its power but it can be a perfect car to take it on a Photo Travel. It seems that Mr. Gordon Murray created this machine just so to become the ultimate driving machine ever remembered by many. I'm sure most owners of the legendary McLaren F1 are very happy about the way this car should be thanks to its seamless reputation. It's something that made me smiled.

There's no way you can't fit as much children in one van!



In weird news: someone from China was caught driving 64 kids inside the van! Wouldn't you believe it? One time, the police pulled over the driver of a small van because of the overloading law. When the cops saw what's inside this overloaded van, the cop saw that this van packs about 66 passengers - 64 kids and 2 adults. What an unbelievable attempt to fit so much kids inside the van and unfortunately, the driver of the van was quoted "punished" according to related laws and regulations.

We're not sure how the heck did he do that, especially when the seats passenger seats' been replaced with benches...
