Hello, and welcome to the conclusion of my year-ender called
Remembering 2013. I'll be randomly listing stuff that came throughout 2013. From good things, bad things, best things, worst things, whatever you name it, that year-ender list is on me. It's on my head so let's get cracking!
The Brian Griffin plot twist
In the November 24th episode of Family Guy, titled Life of Brian, fans got shocked in the scene where family pooch, Brian, got run over by a car and died. Brian has been a fan favorite since the show began and fans are unhappy over the decision to kill off the our favorite character.
Because of fans demanding to "Bring Brian Back" his death is a cliffhanger and the cliffhanger ends in the Christmas special. Brian Griffin dies and comes back to life...one of the most memorable moments in TV this year.
Joss Carter shot and killed
The November 19th episode of Person of Interest left fans speechless over the death of Detective Joss Carter. The show's creator told that killing off Joss is a hard thing to do but part of shaking things up. Fans are unhappy over the loss of Joss Carter and threatened not to watch this show anymore.
Tara Knowles' murder
The Season 6 finale of Sons of Anarchy sees a drunk Gemma killed her daughter-in-law Tara. Tara's murder left Jax come home and find his wife's dead body.
The Mother is finally revealed
Fans wanted to know who is The Mother in "How I Met Your Mother" since the show began and run on 8 seasons. In the Season 8 ender, the Mother was finally revealed as actress Cristin Milioti. As the episode ends, the arrival of the mystery person said "Hi. One ticket to Farhampton, please".
Dawn of hybrid supercars
When you think of hybrids, you always think of the Toyota Prius. But on the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the tables have been turned with the introduction of two hybrid hypercars; the McLaren P1 and the LaFerrari from Ferrari. If that wasn't enough, 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show sees the arrival of the lighter Porsche 918 Spyder, which served as the fastest hybrid to lap round the feared Nurburgring Nordschleife.
The Epic Split
There was a clip from Volvo Trucks where action star Jean Claude Van Damme performed the impossible in the face of the earth. He performed an epic split while in the middle of two Volvo trucks. This clip became so sensational, it has over 66 million views worldwide!
Sebastian Vettel still king of F1
 |
F1 2013
|
Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel is still the king of F1 ever since he defended his F1 world champion status for the 2013 season.
The end of the Formula One 2013 season has signals the end of V8-powered F1 cars as next year's season will gone to the downsizing route as all F1 cars will have smaller engines in the form of V6 turbo engines, giving teams some hard time doing some hard work for the 2014 season. Oh yeah, expect this to be messy because of the numbering system and the double points in the final race of next year's season.
The Skyway bus tragedy
In the 16th of December, there was a bus with a plate number
UVC-916, which is a Pacita-bound Don Mariano Transit Corp. bus in a form of an Isuzu, fell off the Skyway on a van with the plate number
ULX-874. Reports say. This incident occurred at the Barangay Marcelo Green in Parañaque City early morning.
15 Years of Gran Turismo
To celebrate fifteen years of Gran Turismo, there was a party held at Silverstone since May 2013 and that 15th anniversary offering is none other than Gran Turismo 6. GT6 is the latest installment in the series and it's now available exclusively for the PS3. The latest game features over 1200 cars, new and returning tracks, and regular updates over the course of this game.
So far, the recent cars added in GT6 is Mario Andretti's Hudson, the new BMW M4 Coupe, the Honda/Acura NSX Concepts, the LFA Nurburgring Package and others. Expect more to come next year as well as the next car as part of the Vision GT project!
50 years of Porsche 911
 |
2014 Porsche 911-50
|
2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 sportscar and for its 50th Anniversary, Porsche done something special for its fabled sportscar that has an engine in the back, they've released different kinds of 911 models such as the special 50th anniversary model called the 911-50, the new 911 GT3, and the new 911 Turbo, among many others.
100 years of Aston Martin
2013 marks the 100th anniversary of Aston Martin and the famed British sportscar maker done something special for the big year. For me, there's nothing more bigger than this...
In celebration of Aston Martin's 100th anniversary in 2013, the Vanquish was airlifted to the helipad of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
...there are so many moments occurred in the year 2013 to be listed here but guess I should leave it here.
As 2013 comes to an end, I'm reminiscing all the good things, bad things, best things, and the worst things that I have encountered through the course of the year. And I tried to work out which one I like the best...
On the topic of the telly, I love Sofia the First because she's quite the princess-in-training that remains a unique favorite among the little girls. When a classic Disney princess make a special appearance, that's what truly made me feel all giggly. I also love seeing Clara Oswald
on Doctor Who as well and with the introduction of the 12th Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, I'd expect great things to happen in Series 8 of the show. Uh...I enjoyed watching the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, the 1DDAY livestreaming with One Direction, the Equestria Girls, Pacquiao Vs. Rios, the Nicki Minaj Kaloka-Like became the winner of IT'S SHOWTIME'S KALOKA-LIKE FACE 2, Juan Dela Cruz, Sanjay and Craig, Hannibal, Siberia, the Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel episode, the Gravity Falls season finale, the Shake It Up ending, Liv and Maddie, there's too many to list!
However, I wouldn't want Sanjay and Craig because it's a bit too Bob's Burgers-ish. I also wouldn't want Steven Universe because it's a bit too harem for a young boy teaming up with three girls to save the universe. I didn't like Sam & Cat because of Ariana Grande too worrysome for me, Wander Over Yonder because it's a bit too blurry for me, Attack on Titan because it's too freaky, Girls Und Panzer because sometimes cute girls and fearsome tanks don't mix, Free because seeing boys in racing swimsuits isn't my type, I worked out what I have...Bee and PuppyCat.
Although not a TV show and just a web short, Bee and PuppyCat is my favorite. I even demanded the other fans to back its Kickstarter project while they still can. (laughs)
On the topic of music, Psy's Gentleman is my pick. I often listen to this while I was sleeping. The songs I don't really prefer is Wrecking Ball because this is the reason why Miley Cyrus' gone naughty, Fox Song because...what does the fox say? I don't know...it's just some guy in the fox outfit doing some kind of
eurodance, Whoops Kirri because it's too much and no wonder it's Vice Ganda's favorite, I worked out what I have...the Harlem Shake...or the Gwiyomi song. That's what tickled my fancies during the course of the year 2013. He he he...
For movies, my top pick would be Despicable Me 2 because of the minions, Frozen because it's a unique Disney movie for the whole family, Pacific Rim because of robots that was heavily inspired by the ones as seen from Japanese anime, Star Trek Into Darkness because of Benedict Cumberbatch playing the baddie, World War Z, This Is The End because it's downright funny, Monsters University because of Mike and Sulley, The Hunger Games Catching Fire, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, The Hobbit: The Desolation of the Smaug because Benedict Cumberbatch playing as a dragon in the movie named Smaug, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World because of Thor facing off against the dark elves (the ones that look like Teletubbies getting drunk), and that's it.
For games, my top pick is The Last Of Us, Call of Duty Ghosts, Forza Motorsport 5, Gran Turismo 6, Gran Theft Auto V, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, rain, Grid 2, F1 2013, Saints Row IV, and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.
What about cars? My pick would be the hybrid hypercars such as the McLaren P1 and the LaFerrari, the 50th anniversary offering from Lamborghini called the Veneno, the Jaguar F-Type roadster, the new Honda Fit because having a hybrid car with a double-clutch gearbox is not that bad, same goes for the Infiniti Q50, which will be sold as the Skyline in Japan next year, the 911 GT3 and the Turbo, but guess what? I know what's my top pick...the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray.
Yes, I know. This car maybe a pain in my head, but the C7 Corvette is deserved to be the best car of 2013. You should really admire this car by the way it behaves.
With that decided, it's time for me for one final push to the year 2014. I am very happy. So happy, I didn't want to go to sleep until the countdown and when the countdown to 2014 commences...I am ready. Are your New Year's Resolution ready?
