Here I am, Here we are

Here I am, Here we are /
Hayate Ayasaki and Nagi Sanzenin
starring Ryoko Shiraishi and Rie Kugimiya

Whoa, after 12 weeks of spending the night with Hayate Ayasaki, Nagi Sanzenin, and the gang especially that new addition to the story, Ruri Tsugumi, I was gonna say that the all new Hayate no Gotoku Can't Take My Eyes of You really is a bombshell you can call it a day. To wrap it up after 12 episodes of wibbly wobbly madness, there's this brand new single from our main stars of the show: Hayate and Nagi. Titled Here I am, Here we are, this maxi single is all about Hayate and Nagi, being together in amidst of life's problematic escapades that made us scrambled like a scrambled egg. And who can blame them? This maxi single is a way to say thanks for watching Hayate no Gotoku Can't Take My Eyes of You. Now that's what I called a send-off.

Let's Do The News! (December 27, 2012)

JM: Let's Do The News!

JC: Yeah, do the news and about last night, how was your moment with souffle girl?

JM: Morons, don't refer to souffle girl anymore. Refer this brand new partner on Doctor Who, as Series 7 Part 2 commences this Spring 2013 on BBC, as Clara Oswald.

RH: Yeah, right. Clara Oswald, the woman twice dead. I was gonna think this souffle girl was actually just like former Doctor Who companion Rory.

JM: What's the point about it?

RH: Look at Rory, he died several times; from an acid, a Silurian leader, the curse of the Black Spot, when House took control of the TARDIS, he's like "Oh My God! You killed Kenny! You bastard!"

(audience laughing)

JM: So, this new partner played by Jenna Louise Coleman, who is Clara Oswald, that really suits her title. "The Woman Twice Dead". I mean look...She was Oswin Oswald when she died and turned into a Dalek and then on that Christmas Special titled The Snowmen, who was Clara Oswin Oswald on Victorian England, she died right after the moment The Doctor stopped the icy menace lead by Dr. Simeon (played by guest start Richard E. Grant).

RH: Our thoughts exactly. We've been moved on from the Bad Wolf, who is Rose, then The Girl Who Ran, who is Martha, then The Most Important Woman in the Universe, who is Donna, then The Girl Who Waited, who is Amelia Pond, and now this. Very sorry if we ate the whole bowl of you delicious chocolate souffle you made last night.

(audience laughing)

JM: Oh forget the souffle, hamster, it seems Clara Oswald's our problem now. Anyway, any news?

JC: Right, now do you remember the 14th Generation Crown that we tackled since Christmas Day? I just remember something that during the launching party, there's something unusual about this new Crown Athlete I just saw. There's that color I find it too strange for a car that feels like it was showered with the Waters of Mars...

(audience laughing)

2013 Toyota Crown Athlete

RH: Oh dear Lord Royal Highness! It is ghastly...in pink!

JC: Yeah, I know. A pink colored all new Crown Athlete. Some say it's a one-off made for the Japanese commercial starring Jean Reno and Takeshi Beat. Now when I saw this latest ad for the 2013 Toyota Crown, that pink-colored Crown was the motif based on Doraemon's pink door that took places.

JM: Actually, that's a Dokodemo door. Like the TARDIS except it's not a box. It's just a pink door that can travel places.

JC: I really wish I want to have that one because this Dokodemo door beats the TARDIS by a long shot, wonder we're making a joke between Doraemon's Dokodemo door versus The Doctor's TARDIS.

(audience laughing)

JM: Sounds good to me. Doraemon vs. The Doctor, who can get through the Top Gear Studio faster than you can say GERONIMO?

(audience laughing)

RH: I'd say it's the Dokodemo door from Doraemon's! The Doctor's TARDIS takes a long amount of time to have him transported through our set!

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, enough on that and let's move on. Because here on January's Tokyo Auto Salon, we've just picked up that Honda's warming up with series of tuned models for the big show. Honda has the list and these are; N-ONE Modulo Style, S2000 Modulo Climax, STEPWGN Modulo Style, N BOX Modulo X, Mugen N-ONE, Mugen N-ONE Premium, VAMOS CANPACHI, SHINDEN bike, and many others.

RH: Wow, that's a lot for Honda and oh, word from Mazda is that they're also prepping up for that show as well with customized versions of the all new 2013 Atenza, 2013 CX-5, and the Japanese carmaker will feature a LMP racer powered by a SKYACTIV-D engine made specifically for Le Mans racing!

2013 Mazda Atenza Wagon

2013 Mazda Atenza Sedan

2013 Mazda CX-5

MAZDA LE MANS LMP2 SKYACTIV-D RACING

JC: Those Kodo-fied versions of those Mazdas really bothered me and even that they are customized for the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon, they still ain't even bothered. One thing I'm noticing it is Mazda's Le Mans racer which was powered by SKYACTIV-D racing engine. Something tells me that if Mazda's going to make a Atenza Touring Car with that kind of engine, I think it would be brilliant because Mazda's have the racing pedigree since the 787B.

RH: Yeah, truth be told but not all the time.

(audience laughing)

2013 Suzuki Wagon R

JM: Suzuki's brand new Wagon R as well as its Mazda Flair siblings gained a cheaper entry-level version fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission. It's a first time they've done it on that kind and I mean hey, it still comes with the same fuel efficient Suzuki Green Technology provided by ECO-COOL and ENE-CHARGE but since this comes with a 5-speed MT, fuel economy is 25.6kmpl based on JC08 standards.

JC: Yawn....I'm still ain't bovvered...

(audience laughing)

JM: Okay, how about this? Toyota Premio and Allion, currently on their second generation, has been updated for the 2013 model year. Fuel economy for 1.5L models have been improved to 18.2km/L thanks to reduced friction and improved combustion efficiency.

JC: Still ain't bovvered...

(audience laughing)

JM: Okay, I give up...

JM: I know. Still ain't bovvered and on that bombshell, that's the news. 38th MMFF AWARDS NIGHT, it's tonight at the Meralco Theater, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City, Metro Manila this 6:00 PM Philippines Standard Time.

Lincoln MKZ Full Modelchange

Over the years, Lincoln is Ford's luxury marque that sometimes didn't go quite well against its rivals from Europe and Asia. Even General Motors' own Cadillac brand trounced this brand quite easily because they think they are better than them. Thanks to such downturn, it seems that the fate of the Lincoln brand is pretty much on the line but in order prove that Lincoln still have to get up from its knees and rise above the odds, Ford decided to give Lincoln life anew as Lincoln Motor Company. A new company name that was been sacred from the 1950's promises that it will have its own product development team, designers and salespeople. For Chapter 1 of the new Lincoln Motor Company, here's this opening salvo...

2013 Lincoln MKZ

It's the second generation Lincoln MKZ and despite started out in life as a Ford Fusion just like its previous incarnation, it tries to shave off its image as a Ford Fusion with a fancy name and bigger price tag because everything you'll see on the all new MKZ is far more different from the all-new Ford Fusion as well as the 3.7L Duratec V6 engine, unique to the new MKZ.

Apart from its all-original Lincoln look that proves that they're not just a bunch of Ford cars with posh names and posh pricetag, this new model tries to have that new feeling, a feeling that every time you're driving this, it gives you some sort of an esperanza feeling, something that feels like you're listening to the song Esperanza. He he he...Esperanza...I'm a 90's kid, I always remember that show...Esperanza...

Anyway, while backing off to this whole Esperanza analogy, there are some engine choices offered on the new MKZ. There's a turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine derived from the all new Ford Fusion, a 2.0L Hybrid variant that gets me up to 19.2kmpl as rated by EPA, and a 3.7L Duratec V6 engine, which I said it is unique to the new MKZ. With a recommended Michelin tire (see: Michelin Pilot Super Sport), it promises stopping distance from 100kph to a dead stop of 06 feet to stop from 160 mph, 0.91 g on the skidpad and a 26.5-second time in our figure eight. Some say that such tires can stop better and handle better than our favorite Ford muscle car, the Mustang.

2013 Lincoln MKZ interior

I once read an article from Motor Trend and they said that if they fit the new MKZ with conventional tires (see: Michelin Primacy MXM4), this car would have been more quieter and conventional because when they test it with the Super Sports tires, here comes an excessive tire noise which is bad for the passengers, bad for the lazy boys, bad for your boss, and worst of all...bad for your Sir Chief. He he he...sorry about the Sir Chief bit.

One of the craziest things about this new model is that there is no gear lever. That's right, Lincoln tries to get mad with the styling details and made some very complicating changes to the typical car interior, knowing where to start an engine, where to set to drive, where to change the volume of the radio, air condition, so on, so forth. In here, you have to rub those silver linings from left to right to adjust the aircon, the volume, and others and to set the car to drive, because this car has no lever to engage it, push the D button on the dashboard. This is a dashboard confessional if you know what I mean....he he he....

2013 Lincoln MKZ

Price? Well, you have to be an Aga Saga or a posh person to have one of these because it starts at $35,925 for both the 2.0L model and the hybrid model and $37,155 for the V6 model, $37,815 for the 2.0L 4WD model, and $39,045 for the V6 4WD model. That seems posh for a car that started out in life as a Ford Fusion but as an owners car, you'll gonna have to spend more for the necessary tires and Lincoln genuine accessories to balance it out. There's nothing wrong when it comes of driving this but if there's something wrong with it, that's your responsibility, not the car. Good bye and Good Luck.

Available Colors: Smoked Quartz, Ingot Silver, Ruby Red, Ice Storm, Ginger Ale, Crystal Champagne, Tuxedo Black, Bordeaux Reserve, and White Platinum.

Christmas Who!!!

Best Christmas ever...

Christmas Day turned into Christmas Who and when I said Who, I mean of course BBC America did aired this year's Christmas Special of Doctor Who titled The Snowmen.

Well, I just watched the whole episode and the ending did pack a huge twist that I will never ever forget. That Clara person...Clara Oswin Oswald? The soufflé girl? Yes. My thoughts exactly. She died...twice! Once when she became a Dalek and now in Victorian London after The Doctor stopped the icy menace. Kinda salty but it's a huge sacrifice.

It's a bit of a twist but...yes we might be able to see soufflé girl...yet again. Spring 2013, see you there for the second half of Season 7.

Just before that, I once watched a marathon of K9 episodes on SyFy and would you look at that, the new K9 is very loyal to his "young master".

Never mind about that but still, BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!

Let's Do The News! - Christmas Day! (December 25, 2012)

(cheers and applause)

JM: Now we will do the news and as for the 2013 Toyota Crown lineup featured on this nativity moment, Toyota says that they will provide accessories and body kits for this 14th Generation model Crown.

2013 Toyota Crown Royal

2013 Toyota Crown Athlete

If accessories you're after, both the Athlete and the Crown got you covered because you can personalize it with some optional side garnish, side protection mole, rear bumper garnish, rear spoiler, rear license garnish, and LED foglamps. If you want to make it sporty, don't worry because...

...an available MODELLISTA aero kit package or a TRD Sportivo body kit package comes serve and these body kits were sure enough to add some glitz and glamour to the 2013 Toyota Crown. Sadly though, even with such body kits offered by Toyota, I still don't like its schnoz anyway, feels like it's been splashed by the waters of Mars.

(audience laughing)

JM: Hopefully, I don't wanna be bitten by one of these because they look like...aliens.

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, as you can see, because it's Christmas Day, our studio's been bombarded with tons of Christmas gifts, although when I said Christmas gifts, I mean of course they're landfill to us.

RH: Okay pal, what do you got from them this time?

JC: Let's see..um...there's this! It's a new figure from Megahouse's Brilliant Stage figure range. This one's modeled after Chihaya Kisaragi from THE IDOLM@STER anime series. It came out last month and costs about 8,190 Yen. Now, I maybe a huge iM@S fan but this figure is utterly defeating me with such grace.

JM: I must say that if you pair this thing up with a Haruka Amami figure that we saw a couple of months ago, I think they look really good in pairs. I mean hey, its Haruka and Chihaya, that's for sure.

JC: Great. Next up from Santa's sack (almost) was this...

(whoa)

RH: Hey old man, what's that?

JC: This would be a must-have for anyone who likes a figure of a female character in a skin-tight one-piece swimsuit.

JM: Is that...Madoka Kyono from Lagrange?

JC: Indeed she is. One thing I only like most about this BEACH QUEENS Madoka Kyono figure is the rear view because for me...I kinda didn't like her facial expression.

RH: WHAT?!

(audience laughing)

JC: Turns out this is one of the rubbish Christmas present I got! Can't believe how they done with that, perhaps they should have made it more slender and more attractive. This one doesn't so I guess this is one hell of a SERIOUSLY UNCOOL figure for those who have cataracts.

(audience laughing)

RH: So, you didn't like it?

JC: I really DO hate it!

(audience laughing)

JC: Ugh...if only I could give it to someone who didn't care about how figures look but well I might as well put it in the table unless someone noticed it...

(audience laughing)

JM: Ooohh! Look what I got!

RH: What is it?

JM: It's a book!

RH: Oh wait! I know what that is, it's a sci-fi book written by some queer guy...

(audience laughing)

JM: Hush! This is...

JC: He's right, it's a book written by some queer...What was his name again?

JM: Barrowman...John Barrowman.

JC: Yep, John Barrowman. That book you have is the book I've tackled before. It's TORCHWOOD! Exodus Code! Glad I didn't read that book about earthquakes, lethal girls, and how the last two surviving Torchwood operatives, which was Captain Jack and Gwen Cooper, are stopping this mass hysteria.

JM: But...it's a great book. Come on, read it and you'll see...

JC: Don't care. I AIN'T BOVVERED!!!

RH: Me too! I AIN'T BOVVERED!!!!

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, instead of showing some rubbish Christmas presents, how about doing something instead.

RH: Yeah, here's a thing. Which female personality would you like to be on the mistletoe? Come on. Think of someone. Think of someone you liked most of the time! Mine was...Billie Piper.

JC: Karen Gillan

JM: Catherine Tate

JC: CATHERINE TATE?!

(audience laughing)

JC: No...no...no...Catherine Tate's a rubbish name.

JM: But...but...I like Catherine Tate. I like her a lot...

JC: Oh come on...Catherine Tate's just a middle-aged ginger and it's gross if you're hanging out with her...

(audience laughing)

RH: Yeah, who would want to hang out with some aged ginger lady? (laughing)

JM: Maybe this Christmas activity didn't worked out as well. Let's try another one, shall we?

JC: No.

JM: But...why?

JC: Because, we had ruined the whole Christmas Day with our rubbishness...

(audience laughing)

RH: He's right. If you make a move, you're making it worse.

JC: You know what we do?

RH: What?

JC: Let's prep up the souffle because it's Christmas Day and we're expecting a K9 marathon on SyFy and the premiere of Doctor Who 2012 Christmas Special, titled The Snowmen.

RH: Souffle girl! Here we come!

(audience laughing)

JC: That's right. Souffle girl Jenna Louise Coleman is all fired up for being Clara, who is The Doctor's brand new partner and oh, expect kissing scenes on these two too...

(audience laughing)

JC: ...and on that bombshell, MERRY CHRISTMAS and that's the news!
