Anna Manalastas' final day

After Anna Manalastas (Coney Reyes/Xyriel Manabat), Jopet (Neil Coleta), and Bart (Rafael Rosell) succeeded from rescuing Sophia (Jodi Sta. Maria), Anna's long lost daughter, from the clutches of Miranda (Valerie Concepcion), and facing off against the Tagasundo (Pen Medina), and then when Tagasundo transform himself into Jake Cuenca while Tagabantay transform himself into Coco Martin for a one-on-one duel while Anna and the gang race against time to reach her mother at the hospital, here it is. This is Anna Manalastas' last day, which means, time for the 100 Days To Heaven finale.

In the finale, Anna Manalastas has no choice but go to hell with Tagasundo. While Anna's in Hell, there is a problem. Anna can't get through because of some mysterious barrier. Because of the barrier, Anna said the Tagasundo that she's not capable of being entered to Hell because for the past 100 days on Earth, she done a lot of good things, good things that made Anna a changed woman after all of her darkest pasts. This is what the Tagabantay said.

After Anna winning the battle against the Tagasundo with Tagabantay on her side, she has to return to Earth to say farewell to the gang, especially Sophia, Andres (Joel Torre), Bart, and Jopet. After the farewell, Anna Manalastas goes to heaven and while she's on heaven, she meets up with old friends Bruce (Smokey Manaloto) and Kevin (Louise Abuel). Also, Bobby (Dominic Ochoa) showed up and yes, he forgive Anna for all of his sins. What completes is when Anna's mother showed up and thankfully, they were together.

Moments later, Sophia's starting her day as the new CEO of The Toy Company and seems she's off to a good start until she met up with some familiar looking little girl who definitely look like young Anna. That concludes the story of 100 Days To Heaven. This show may be the most memorable drama not only because of little Anna's cuteness and life-changing stories, but that whole Sophia magic is something I will surely miss...

When Doraemon characters are all grown up in latest Toyota REBORN ad.

Back when we were kids, we had fun watching an anime titled Doraemon and we enjoyed the funniest misadventures of Doraemon, Nobita, and the gang. What happens if the characters from Doraemon are all grown up? The answer is courtesy of Toyota Motor Corporation for its "ReBORN" campaign and the tagline "FUN TO DRIVE, AGAIN".

Firstly on the first ad, we saw Japanese actor Satoshi Tsumabuki playing as the 30-year-old Nobita and the Naoya Ogawa played as the 30-year-old Gian, now driving a Toyota Estima. Heh, even 20 years has passed, Gian still picking on Nobita but that's okay.

Later, on the latest ad, we witnessed Tomohisa Yamashita played as 30-year-old Suneo and Asami Mizukawa playing as the 30-year-old Shizuka. Here, we saw Toyota models like the RAV4, FJ Cruiser, Vellfire, Noah, and Wish. For an added surprise, actor Jean Reno (Wasabi, Leon, Ronin, Mission Impossible, Godzilla) for the first time being Doraemon. 

It was like what the heck? How did Mr. Alphard returned to be Doraemon for the Toyota REBORN commercial? It's like he's back! Never mind...

Glad we saw these Doraemon characters all grown up for the Toyota "ReBORN" campaign.

Speaking of which, what's that song played on the commercial? I'll give you the answer, it's Kiseki by GReeeeN.

Oreimo star in a reasonably priced Demio (and Axela)

Kuroneko's the star in a reasonably priced Mazda!


Seriously, it happened again at some newspaper ad for Chiba Mazda dealership and this time, it's Kuroneko's turn. Another Oreimo star in a reasonably priced Mazda, just like Kirino Kousaka from last time.

You could thank the guys who worked at the Chiba Mazda dealership teaming up with Oreimo characters to promote new Mazda models, especially the new Mazda Demio and the new Mazda Axela with SKYACTIV Technology.

Ambitious...but rubbish...

The new Swift RS

2012 Suzuki Swift RS


The special edition Suzuki Swift RS is tuned to be more European rather than being a Japanese compact car. The Swift RS uses the entry-level XG as its foundation but with Euro-tuned suspension for enhanced handling like a European car.

Special items in the Swift RS include a multi-reflector halogen fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, fabric seats, and shift lever stitched in silver, reclining rear seat, rear wing, side skirts, front and rear bumpers, door mirrors with LED side turn lamp, and 16-inch rims.

It's all about being sporty for the new Swift.

The Run of Pagani Huayra

Pagani Huayra



Nationality: Italian

Top Speed: 227 MPH (365kph)

0 - 60 time: 3.4 seconds

BHP: 700 @ 6,000 rpm

Performance: Tier 5

Handling: Normal

Class: Supercar

Drivetrain: RWD

Manufacture Year: 2011

Description:
The Pagani Huayra is the Zonda replacement that ushered in the new age of the Italian supercar brand and this was named after Huayra-Tata, the god of wind from the Aymara legends. It made a world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Auto Salon in March.

The Pagani Huayra is powered by a 6.0L Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 twin-Turbo engine that produces over 700BHP of power and over 1,000Nm of torque. It can go 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and flat-out, the Huayra blows away in 227 MPH (365kph). It is mated with a transverse sequential seven speed gearbox with AMT robotized system. The Huayra weighs 1.350 kg and it has a 44:56 weight distribution.

According to the founder of Pagani, this car is made of more than 4,000 components that requires creativity, patience, and passion that Pagani shared with a fantastic young team and with the most competent partner in various sectors.

When we last saw this car as a Limited Edition bonus of Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed, this car is now a Need For Speed exclusive and now it carries on to Need For Speed The Run. NFS fans should be familiar about the Huayra but for first-timers, it takes mastery to control the Huayra in order for players to get through New York, fast! I mean, can I explain the rear spitting fire as I hit nitrous on it? Pretty cool huh? I never know that the Huayra is the next best thing for Pagani! I am really amazed the raw ferocity of the Huayra and this car's just like the Zonda. It looks scary to drive but they don't.

The ultimate Panamera

2012 Porsche Panamera GTS


The Panamera to end all Panameras!

The new 2012 Porsche Panamera GTS is the ultimate Panamera ever made because of its upgraded 4.8L NA engine that produces 430HP, upgraded brakes, lowered body, improved suspension, and everything that makes this new model so special in the eyes of the big boys who are interested with super saloons. Still, the looks are not quite good...

Forza Motorsport 4 meets SUPER POTENTIAL

Making a milestone in Indy!


Before the Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT) emerged in the 1990's, there was this, the Mitsubishi Starion. Built in Nagoya, Japan, the Mitsubishi Starion is the brand's "Turbo Specialty Sports" that became a direct competitor to the Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, or even the Nissan Fairlady Z. It is said that this car was exported in the United States as this or as an OEM for the three Chrysler brands; namely Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth, as the Conquest.

The Starion's interior

Aside for being a memorable JDM Legend, the Mitsubishi Starion is proven to be a worthy contender in the motorsports world. It even tackled the Australian Production Car Championship, SCCA, Silverstone, Dutch National Touring Car Championship, Race de Nippon Tsukuba, All Japan Touring Car Race, and GHiland Touring Car 300 km Race.

Spirit of '80s

This JDM Legend is new on Forza Motorsport 4 and you are free to make a milestone out of this classic "Turbo Specialty Sports" that even in 29 years, the Star of Orion still looks good to drive as the other Mitsubishi cars, especially the Lancer Evolution models.

Veloster vs. Genesis Coupe

2012 Hyundai Veloster
2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe




The 2012MY Hyundai Veloster and the 2012MY (US 2013MY) Hyundai Genesis Coupe... Yes, they're both Koreans, both built from Hyundai, both are sportscars, both are feisty, both are good-looking, both are fun-to-drive, and...NO. Sorry Filipinos, you can't get these two because our local fuels are not compatible to the cars' direct injection technology. Yes I know, we can't get these two but if there's a chance, which of these two Hyundai sports cars you think is more fun? So, let's compare these two...

The Hyundai Veloster was launched in March 2011 and its the first of Hyundai's new Premium Youth Lab sub-brand, a sub-brand that caters the needs of the young adults. It is limited in 18,000 units (albeit in South Korea) and it's offered with the 6-speed manual, 6-speed auto and the brand's first DCT (Double Clutch Transmission). It was appeared in City Hunter Korean Drama as Lee Min Ho's car of choice, whatever that is. Some say that this car was supposed to be the successor of the Hyundai Tuscani but sorry, this isn't supposed to be despite this is an FF hatchback. What's surprising about the Veloster is the doors because it can open one door at the driver's side and two doors at the passenger's side! It might be weird but this is part of Hyundai's "New Thinking, New Possibilities" slogan. Under the hood is the Gamma GDi 1.6L engine that produces 140hp of power and 17.0kg-m og torque. Perhaps because this is powered by a GDi engine, HARI can't bring the Veloster because of the fuel concerns but for some Filipinos who want to get their hands on the Veloster, they want to find one on some direct importers from the Philippines, like for example; Hancars or Pitstop Motors. These importers allow them to import the Hyundai Veloster with a very reasonably price. Is this something that they could have shove it down Hyundai Asia Resources' throat? Not so fast...

Now about the 2012 Genesis Coupe, this is the facelifted version that keeps Korea's low-cost FR sportscar updated after being on service for three years since its debut in October 2008. For this facelifted Genesis Coupe, you should expect Veloster cue design on the front and the mildly revised rear. Let's not forget the all new interior that provides user-friendly experience and the JBL Audio System sounds excellent. The new Genesis Coupe is powered by a GDi 3.8L V6 engine and a turbocharged 2.0 TCi engine. These two engines combine performance and ecology in one hand and of course, sadly, we won't be getting the facelifted Genesis Coupe soon. Sorry about that but that's HARI's decision. Guess you may just stick with your outgoing, pre-facelift Genesis Coupe because HARI will remain the pre-facelifted Genesis Coupe and always will be until the facelifted version is ready.

The Genesis Coupe is focused to be more of a maniac because this is an FR sportscar, you could do some drifting on the ground and this is the best Hyundai sportscar ever made. The Veloster, though, it's only focused only on style rather than performance. You should be going bonkers to have one but you have to wave hi to these two from far away and that's why you should wait...

Need for Speed: The RUN

Need for Speed: The RUN


Prepare for the biggest cross-country race from San Francisco to New York that will leave your hearts shattered, sending your minds in spiral, and it will leave you in excessive daydreaming about this greatest battle of your life.

Need for Speed: The RUN, takes players on the role of Jack Rourke, a man who is taking on The RUN, a cross-country race from San Francisco to New York with no rules, no speed limits, zero allies!

The biggest stars of NFS: The RUN are the cars themselves. A half-a-century of cars is all you need if you want to get through New York with a selection of tuners, muscles, and exotics from Europe, America, and Asia. Drift through tight curves with the Toyota AE86, get through straight corners with the Boss 302 Mustang, or go all out with the Bugatti Veyron. There are a selection of cars you want to shove it down your rivals throat either on Story Mode, Challenge Series, or online!

With NFS Autolog, every second counts and Autolog monitors your every progress and see if you are the fastest person who made it from San Francisco to New York. Happily though, you can take photos, challenge against your rivals based on your skill, and show everyone who's boss.

Want to unlock all the cars and challenges but being lazy enough to progress through The RUN? Don't worry though that the Time Savers Pack is coming! The Time Savers Pack is a DLC that allows you to unlock most of the stuff that can be earned through the normal game progression. Maybe here's your chance to try out the Pagani Huayra you're dreaming about?

Don't forget that two Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Irina Shayk and Chrissy Teigen are making special appearances on The RUN because hot cars and women do really have a one-two combo.

NFS The Run stars Sean Faris from The Vampire Diaries as Jack Rourke and Christina Hendricks from Mad Men and Drive as Sam Harper.
