The Good Luck Charlie finale
For after four seasons hanging out with the Duncans and watching all of Teddy Duncan's video diaries from start to finish, not to mention special episodes featuring Shake It Up, the Muppets, and Jessie, it's all down to this as our favorite teen comedy series come to the climax. Titled "Good Bye Charlie", this really is the ending every Mendies worth watching and hey, let's forget about the whole thing happened in the last episode of the series, we're talking about the most interesting bit of the episode...
Spencer, played by Shane Harper, made his final appearance of the show where Teddy's friends are throwing a farewell party to her as she's heading to college. And guess what? While nearing to the ending, here's what every Mendies or every Shidgit shippers worth waiting for...
Yes! It's a farewell kiss for both Spencer and Teddy! Fans of Bridgit Mendler and Shane Harper, as well as those Shidgit shippers have been waiting for this moment to come and that's what we called the best send-off to Good Luck Charlie.
Anyway, here's what Teddy said on her final video diary at the ending:
"Well Charlie, I guess this is it. You know I started making those video diaries to help you survive our crazy family. And after four years of doing them, I've realized how lucky we are to be a part of this family. And just to know that as long as you've got us, you always will have -- come on guys, say it with me -- GOOD LUCK CHARLIE!"
And that's the end of Good Luck Charlie. After four seasons, we bid farewell to the Duncan family after several hilarious spills came in each and every corners of their lives and I guess our Mendie Time is over. Thank you, Bridgit Mendler. Guess we're going to miss you...

Let's Do The News! (February 16, 2014)
Things we learned today...
- Iglesia Ni Cristo's charity walk for the benefit of Yolanda victims broke the Guinness World Record for the longest charity walk, drawing at least 175,000 participants. Congratulations!
- Actress Ellen Page is confirmed that she is a lesbian during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's THRIVE conference in Las Vegas.
- Volvo's participant to the Australian V8 Supercars race looks pretty interesting...
- According to a report from The Sunday Times, McLaren's brand new 650S supercar, set for next month's Geneva debut, could succeed from the MP4-12C and the V8 turbo engine that powers it, well, it produces 650PS of power output. That's more than what you get from the 458 Speciale or the Huracan LP610-4. I'm not quite sure but for a quick tidbit, F1 racer Jenson Button was contributed to the 650S.
- Volkswagen's Scirocco hatchback gets a light facelift for the 2015 model year.
- G Power tunes a late-model BMW M5 Touring to have a power output of 820PS and a top speed of over 362kph! Now that's what I called a power wagon! They called this the Hurricane RR Touring and what they did to the extinct V10 engine is rigged it with a Bi-Compressor system priced at 8,687 Euros.

Forza 5: The Toyobaru Coupes
Well, I maybe a bit three months late for that but hey, better late than never to have myself an XBOX One and a game of Forza Motorsport 5 so how can I start this? Oh yeah!
YES! Top racers everywhere are wetting their pants down to excitement as Forza Motorsport 5, exclusively on XBOX One, is now in commission and here I am, investigating stuff like...REALLY LOUD STUFF! REALLY FAST STUFF! REALLY SLOW STUFF...ASIAN STUFF...AMERICAN STUFF...EUROPEAN STUFF...AND REALLY PAINFUL STUFF!!!
Let's begin with those Toyobaru coupes in question; the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. Since their debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and sales in Japan started in the spring of 2012, these two RWD sports coupes shared one thing they had in mind; to bring a smile on any boy racer's face.
Some myths pointed out that even though they looked the same, the mechanicals are meant to be the same, like Galileo's theory of falling bodies where objects, regardless of size and weight, will fall at the same pace. Sure, they both have the same FA20 boxer engine but the thing is...what's the difference between them? Oh come on, some people pointed out that the suspensions are different between the 86 and the BRZ and to find out, let's head out to my only lab I called the Top Gear Test Track. Let's find out...
First up, the GT86. This is the car Jeremy Clarkson described as one of the best handling cars in ages, probably thanks to those skinny tires that made it a bit less grippy but how does it fare?
So, what about the Subaru BRZ? I'd reckon it could do the same thing...
Both of my drives are complete and I had the result. In the 86, I posted myself a 1:35.580 lap time while in the BRZ, my lap time round the Top Gear Track was 1:33.368? Oh that can't be right...probably because of my iffy driving but if my iffy driving ways were out in the equation, both of these cars would be neck-and-neck but still, there is a main reason why because for the BRZ, they want the suspension to be more matured and more honed for cornering while the 86 wants to be more less grippy and more tail-happy.
Perhaps no wonder both of these cars do participated in different motorsports but nevertheless, I think it's safe to say that both the 86 and the BRZ are a good start to FM5.

2008 Ferrari California
Premiered at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the new California is the first ever Ferrari that can be used as a daily driver and you can use it on the road no matter what schedule you're on. It has the first-ever 4.3L V8 direct injected engine that develops 460PS of power and 485Nm of torque while mated to a Formula 1-style double clutch gearbox that makes shifting seamless. It's an appealing grand tourer made for those who have an outgoing personality.
