Mirabella finale

Previously on Mirabella, after Bella was exposed to the public as Mira (Julia Barretto), after Alfred (James Blanco) apologized Mira for all his wrongdoings and accepts her as his real daughter, and after Olive (Mylene Dizon) shot her daughter Iris during a conflict against Mira and Alfred...sacrifices must be done for Mira to save Iris, her longtime rival.

In the finale, it was the time for sacrifice and the time for forgiveness and as Mira's life is struggling after saving Iris and after Olive apologized to Mira...she had a dream that she saw her mother, Daisy. Mira wanted to reunite with her mother but her mother said that she has to go back to her world because...Mira has so much to do with her life and with Mira's revived...the curse has finally broken and reverts to her beautiful self again.

With Mira back at being her beautiful self again, things are back to normal and the finale ends when Mira turned 18 years old and it was her debut.

This is the beautiful ending of Mirabella.

The most powerful American-made cars

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

With the USA celebrating their ID4 or Independence Day today, let's just take a moment to get to know what are the most powerful speed machines made by the Americans. Now obviously the only answer comes to mind includes the words Hennessey Venom GT and the non-existent SSC Tuatara but what if we exclude these two? This is going to be one of the most intriguing list I have ever come up as we get to know what are America's mightiest...

- 2005 Ford GT - Ford's modern remake of the race-winning GT40 produces 550HP from its 5.4L DOHC 32V supercharged V8 engine.

- 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - On the 2011 update of this hypo-Mustang, the 5.4L DOHC 32V supercharged V8 engine, similar from the Ford GT, develops 550HP of power output.

- 2000 Saleen S7 - One of the most notable American-made supercars in history, the S7 comes with the 7.0L 16V V8 engine, mounted in the middle, developing 550HP of power output.

- 2009 Cadillac CTS-V - Based on the second-generation CTS, America's C63 AMG beater comes with the supercharged 6.2L V8 engine developing 556HP of power. Not bad for a high-performance saloon with the heart of the muscle car, despite the fact it was honed from the Nurburgring.

- 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - This was Chevrolet's effort to edge out against the Ford Shelby GT500 when it was revealed at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show but they failed. However, the ZL1 is one of the high-performance vehicles General Motors have ever made that gets worked out at the Nurburgring. The 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine develops 580HP of power.

- 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 - With no safety features on its belt, this is one heck of a beast, especially when it comes with a massive 8.4L V10 engine developing 600HP of power.

- 1990 Vector W8 - Fans of Gran Turismo will recognize this unsung American-made sportscar that time forgot. Of course it's a playable car in GT2 but who remembers this machine more than we do? This unsung supercar from the USA comes with the clever twin-turbo 6.0L 12-cylinder engine developing 625HP of power output. Any Gran Turismo fan can tell...

- 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - The ZR1 is the flagship of the Corvette legacy and this model turned this from a redneck muscle into a half-decent supercar aimed against Europe's finest after taking its lessons from Le Mans. The supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that powers it develops 638HP of power output.

- 2013 SRT Viper - Returned in 2012, the new Viper is aimed to be one of America's finest supercars on the road and thanks to the addition of safety features, it's the most civilized. The 8.4L V10 that powers it now churns out 640HP of power.

- 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - Based on the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray, the high-performance Z06 now comes with the GM's newly-developed supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8 engine that is SAE-certified at 650HP of power output.

- 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 - The 2013MY GT500 pushed the envelope as one of America's most powerful machine ever made when it gets a SAE-certified rating of 662HP of power output from its 5.8L 32V supercharged V8 engine. That's more than what you get from European supercars! With all that power comes with a big price as like all Mustangs, it doesn't go round corners thanks to its rear live axle. Sounds old-school but it's less sophisticated than its European exotics.

- 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat - The new king of American-made cars is now helmed as the upcoming Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, with its supercharged 6.2L V8 HEMI engine, is more powerful than the C7 Z06 and the GT500 because it has exactly 707HP of power output! You got that right. 7-0-7-horse-power. That's more than what you get from the Lamborghini Aventador.

Wow, with all that power, the Hellcat is truly a machine that revs GOD BLESS AMERICA from its exhaust!

- According to The RING magazine's list of world's best boxers, Manny Pacquiao is named as the longest reigning fighter.

- The Beach House Canteen at the UP Diliman is known to be one of the best food spots in the campus because of the pork barbecue served. Sadly the UP Diliman Beach House Canteen will close on the 9th of July, 2014. The people in charge of the Facebook page called Huwag Isara ang Beach House Naming Mahal said that the closure is for sanitary reasons because it was unsanitary to have a canteen very near a drainage system as it might affect the health of the students eating there. It's a sad farewell to one of UP's beloved canteen that is not just a canteen but a tambayan for the UP students.

TTFN!!!

Top Gear USA: Off Road Big Rigs

The boys of Top Gear USA are taking on two of the most dangerous jobs in the USA at the same time as Adam, Tanner, and Rut are given keys to a logging truck while tacking hauling and logging simultaneously at the Pacific Northwest region of America. The winner is someone with the least mistakes on mastering the logging truck while carrying the most remaining timbers left. Now this is got to be one of the most treacherous challenge yet. Tanner's in the quick Peterbilt Long Nose, Adam's in the strong Kenworth Mule Train, and Rut's in the old Kenworth Long Nose.

First is the narrow test and they have to cross the narrow path without hitting the pole from the top. With Adam hit the pole, Rut didn't made it to the target speed, and Tanner got cheated...it's a draw.

Last before the real challenge, the braking test to demonstrate the truck's stopping power from 40mph to 0mph. In the end...looks like Adam's stopping power is worthless and Rut still got his trucking skills from last time as his stopping power of his Kenworth is better.

The next day...the mission begins as the boys are driving their trucks to pick up their timbers and deliver to the target area with the least mistakes. With tight corners, some traffic, harsh road conditions, and the unpredictable weather, expect the unexpected.

After numerous miles of survival and with Rut committed one mistake by accidentally hitting a vehicle while in the suburbs, Adam and Tanner made it to the target area and speaking of Rut...looks like he got downgraded to a Ford Bronco!

Forza Motorsport 5: The Time of the Veneno

The Lamborghini Veneno is one of the most requested rides to be featured on Forza Motorsport 5 because this is truly one of the best Lamborghinis ever made to celebrate 50 years of Lamborghini. Of course, we never got the chance to be behind the wheel of the Veneno because only three were made and all three were all sold out before its announcement. Pity, but lucky for us, we got Forza Motorsport 5 and the Hot Wheels Car Pack, the last monthly DLC car pack on this game.



Thanks to this DLC Car Pack, our dream of being behind the wheel at the Lamborghini Veneno came true in a virtual way and we got the taste of what is like to drive Lamborghini's 50th birthday present on this game and as a matter of fact, this is not like any Lamborghini I have ever driven in this game.



So, what's it all about the Veneno? Revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Lamborghini Veneno is created to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary. While it was loosely based on the flagship Aventador, the 6.5L V12 that powers the Veneno generates 750PS of power output, making this one of the most powerful Lamborghinis ever made with a 0-100kph time of 2.8 seconds and 355kph of top speed.

Being a track-focused street legal machine, Lamborghini built three Veneno units, each costing three million Euros plus tax, and all three units have already been sold to customers before its announcement.

Veneno is Spanish for "poison" but the naming, in Lamborghini tradition, originates from one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever.



You should recall that it was revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show just like the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 and as a matter of that, the un-holy trinity of last year's motor show is finally completed at last or so we think because unlike the LaFerrari and the P1, the Veneno runs solely on petrol and nothing else. Unlike the P1 and the LaFerrari, the Veneno is one of the rarest machines in supercar history and even though it wasn't made to compete against any other supercars, this track-ready road-legal racing machine is probably one of the most potential bedroom wall pin-up for modern youth because when we look at it, it looks gorgeous from every angle and how we dream about these...this is still a better love story than Twilight. He he he...



But this is no Twilight because the Lamborghini Veneno is here to satisfy our craving for super fast European exotics and while it was just an Aventador underneath, driving the Veneno on the racetrack is not too shabby because of its unmatched aerodynamics that keeps it glued to the road and survives a corner evasively like a fighter plane. Thanks to the V12 engine that powers it, superior aerodynamics, and its Formula One-inspired suspension setup, the Lamborghini Veneno is hands down the best Lambo I have ever witnessed in this game and once you drive it, you'll come back for more.



So, have you tried out the Veneno on FM5 yet?
