A Mother's Story

A Mother's Story


This movie titled A Mother's Story was been shown in theaters across the North America and Europe and it captured the hearts not only the OFW's but also the Filipina mothers who find life abroad very complicating. This movie is as inspiring as the 2008 drama movie, Caregiver. This is the TFC Original Movie but now for the first time, A Mother's Story is now in the Philippines and most Filipino families are now ready to see Pokwang in a very different perspective in this touching movie.

You sure know that A Mother's Story is more like Caregiver but for Pokwang, she's a visionary portraying the role of a mother who was an OFW in the USA. Surely it was a very difficult experience for her as an OFW but with all of the struggles she faced several moments ago, how can she cope up with her family despite her struggling moments as an OFW?

Yes, this movie is a bit painful to watch but it served as an inspiration to our mothers. Once you watch this movie, you have finally realized how life was if you were like Pokwang, a mother who separates her family for working overseas but found out that working abroad can be a very painful, traumatic experience and how did your family react after years of your loss. Well, you get the point but hey, there are some appeal points to consider on this movie especially the part when Pokwang said to the daughter, played by Xyriel Manabat. "My mother is beautiful, doesn't she? Maganda ang nanay ko. Hindi naman di ba?"

My Verdict: COOL (if you're a mother)

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 23

First of all, you, a petrolhead, had a New Year's Resolution. You promised that "you will not ask everyone what is the song from a car commercial" but however, your New Year's Resolution failed, especially if you're an idiot from Toronto, Ontario, Canada who yelled "song for the veloster commercial oh yeah".

When a new year comes, those petrolheads' attitudes never changed. They just started the year 2012 with one common question straight from the car enthusiasts' mouths: What is the name of the song on car commercial?

Therefore, I'm starting this year with another batch of five Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for everyone to shut up and listen to those...just before another Senate hearing about the SOPA BILL takes place...

5) 黄昏のビギン by Naomi Chiaki - from the 2011 Toyota ReBORN commercial starring Takuya Kimura and Takeshi Beat

4) Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins - from the 1997 Toyota Caldina Japanese commercial. Also heard from the 2010 Subaru Trezia Japanese commercial.

3) Run by B'z - from the 1998 Nissan Avenir Japanese commercial

2) あじさいのうた by Yuko Hara - from the 1987 Daihatsu Leeza Japanese commercial

1) Movin On Without You by Utada Hikaru - from the 1999 Nissan Terrano Japanese commercial

...and that's how I start the year right by attacking those idiots who stopped at nothing to keep asking me what's the song from a certain car commercial, and that's good because I don't want people to block the internet traffic that is much worse than caravans and bendy buses. Better refrain from asking what's that song, otherwise, I am making some decisions...

HEY WHAT'S THIS? Turbocharged Veloster?!!!

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo


Back in 2011 NAIAS at Detroit, Michigan, the Hyundai Veloster made a world premiere and it later went on sale at South Korea since March 10, 2011, making this the first of Hyundai's new Premium Youth Lab brand. It is limited to 18,000 units to keep its premium image. Later on, in the summer of 2011, the Veloster DCT Pack was unveiled, making this the first Hyundai to come with the new dual-clutch 6-speed paddle shift transmission. You should know that the Veloster made an appearance on the City Hunter Korean drama starring Lee Min-Ho.

Guess what, at the 2012 NAIAS at Detroit, Hyundai will premiere the all new Veloster Turbo, packed with a different face and the all new 1.6L Turbo GDi engine that produces 201HP of power and 196lb-ft of torque. No additional information was given and surely South Korea won't be selling that, yet...

The Car Show got canned!

The Car Show


Guess there is some bad news for the car aficionados from USA because a show titled "The Car Show" hosted by comedian Adam Carolla, motoring journalist Dan Neil, former NBA player John Sally, and Matt Farah, got canceled and no longer returned for the next season.

This show was premiered last year on SPEED as the direct rival of Top Gear USA. Now I don't know when will TGUSA come back but the question is, is Top Gear USA may end up the same fate as The Car Show?!
