Get to know about The 7D!

The 7D

In case you missed it, Disney XD's new cartoon series, The 7D, was recently aired its first episode. Much obliged to forget about the seven dwarves we knew from the story of Snow White, The 7D is made for just one thing; to forget about everything you knew about the seven dwarves ever again. Ordered by the Queen Delightful of Jollywood, The 7D are here to save the day from troubles, especially against the evil crutches of the Glooms (that's Hildy and Grimm).

Let's get to know about The 7D from their brand new show now on air on Disney XD!

Sleepy - This fella's so sleepy, he can't finish a dream without nodding his head off. When the sandman visits him, he brings...a dump truck. His snores are so loud, they frightened thunder. Sheep count him to go to sleep.






Sneezy - Pepper is terrified of him. His sneezes will blow you away. No, seriously. Stand back. When he goes achoo, all countries say gesundheit. His last sneeze became a dance craze. He onced sneezed at the beach and formed a sand castle. 2,000 sand crabs lived there now.








Happy - If you'd fell off a cliff, he'd admire the view. He's happy and he knows it. Clap your hands. Legend has it, he even made Grumpy smile...barely.








Dopey - A dwarf of many words and all of them (whistling). Dopey is so cute, he makes puppies go awww. His favorite food is whatever you're eating. Dopey has so many pets a zookeeper would be jealous. A skunk named (wolf whistle), a snake named (hisses then whistle), and a bear named (roars).





Doc - He is so smart, he can recite the alphabet backwards and upside down. Currently, he's writing a book called "The History of The Future". He's that smart. He daydreams in Latin. He once divided the circumference of the Jack-o-Lantern by its diameter and he made pumpkin pie. It was delicious.






Bashful - When he plays Hide and Seek, he can't even find himself. He's so good at blending in, chameleons come to him for advice. He's so shy as own parents haven't met him yet. He plays extreme peekaboo. He's not only scared of his shadow, his shadow is scared of other shadows and think about it. He's that scared.





Grumpy - This guy is so grumpy, he can bust a pinata by just looking at it. He can pop balloons with a single glance. He smiled once just to see what it felt like. He didn't like it. He invented Cranky Pants.








In short...just like the theme song goes...Happy's songs are always sunny, Sneezy's nose is always runny, Dopey's gags are always funny, Bashful's shy, Doc's bright, Sleepy snoozes day and night, and Grumpy's wound a bit too tight. It's Hi-Ho for The 7D!

The 7D airs on Disney XD, check local listings. And be sure to play with The 7D Mine Train available on the App Store. Hi-Ho!

26th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics

A few moments ago, I went to the Pacific Raceways to attend this year's annual Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Races where the vintage racers from the last century were gathered to celebrate the speed and honor preserved through the years. Most car enthusiasts living in the Pacific Northwest region of USA were in the venue, enjoying the sights and sounds of this wondrous event held every year.

F1 2014 - British GP

Hamilton-wins

In a bid to catch up against his rival teammate Rosberg at the rankings of this season, Lewis Hamilton has scored a win at the end of the British GP at Silverstone. Despite his poor qualifying progress and placed sixth at the start, Hamilton fought hard enough to score his win at his home turf. Ahead of him on the podium is two unsung racing drivers; Valtteri Bottas from Williams and Daniel Ricciardo from Red Bull.

That puts him 4 points behind the leading Nico Rosberg in the overall rankings while Daniel Ricciardo improves his points while maintaining his 3rd place.

Next race is at the Hockenheimring Circuit this 20th of July.

FIFA World Cup 2014 - Quarter Finals (Part Two)


It's official; the countries that are joining the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup Brasil are Germany, Brazil, Argentina, and Holland. Looks like the list keeps on trimming down until the victor is judged.

In the last day of the quarter finals, we witnessed that the Argentinians never spared the Belgians when it comes to scoring a goal and just one goal is enough to send Argentina to the semi-finals. Meanwhile the match between Netherlands and Costa Rica never scored a single stint on their regular time but when the penalty kicks in, its Holland that flipped the tables of Costa Rica at the score of 4-3.

Semi-finals starts at July 8 with Brazil taking on Germany.

GMC Yukon (K2UG) and GMC Yukon XL (K2YG)

2015 GMC Yukon

This is the latest incarnation of GMC's full size SUVs and this brand new Yukon tries to take GMC's Professional Grade status to its whole new level, the same thing as the Sierra pickup did last year even though the new Yukon is entirely based on the new Sierra as much as its twin, the Chevrolet Suburban and the Tahoe were based on the Silverado.

Whoa there, aren't they the same?

Yes. While the GMC Sierra and the Chevrolet Silverado both have the same mechanics, their SUV equivalents are just like that. They both run on their new K2XX platform and rather than being unibody like most modern SUVs do, these machines prefer their old-school body-on-frame ways due to its popularity. Even American footballers had one of these in their spare time because like these men, these macho SUVs suit their personality.

What's the difference?

The main difference between those not only by its exterior looks but the high-end Denali trim is what sets them apart. The Denali trim offers a premium exterior look, a well-tailored interior fit for Ward's list of Best Interiors, and a more powerful 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 FlexFuel petrol engine. Exclusive to the Yukon Denali and its long wheelbase Yukon XL Denali, this 6.2L V8 engine develops a class-leading power output of 420hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. It features Advanced Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management, and Variable Valve Timing.

Do they still have the engine from the Suburban?

Yes. They do have the same 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 FlexFuel engine from the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe twins. This engine, like its bigger 6.2L one, do comes with Advanced Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management, and Variable Valve Timing but this little guy gets 355HP of power and 383 lb-ft of torque.

What's it like being on the inside?

Just like its Chevy twins, the new Yukon, along with its long wheelbase XL model, are benefitted with the host of creature comforts that will seriously deliver the lap of luxury with a price that is too much to bear. You can have an entertainment system that plays DVD and Blu-Ray, reduced NVH, GMC IntelliLink3 system, Bose Surround Sound System, and tons of other luxury car-ish features that feels so premium enough, you can feel like you're a politician going on a picnic. As for seating capability, the Yukon can fit up to 9 people, more than enough to fit the entire family or your party-obsessed frat boys.

What about handling?

Just like the Chevy twins, the new GMC Yukon feels fine when driving normally but because it's so big in size, the turning radius is not good enough to slip in unnoticed. Of course, being the mammoth in the pack, driving around for fun is a lot more difficult especially when it comes with the Magnetic Ride Control inspired from General Motors sportscars.

Should I buy one?

The all new Yukon starts at $46,335 up to $65,380 for the Yukon XL Denali model so it maybe less pricey than a Range Rover but more pricey than the Suburban and the Tahoe even though they're the same kind so it takes a little eenie-meenie-miney-mo to choose which of these twins to buy but if you're more of an upper class, go for the Denali trim. It maybe more expensive than the regular but it's a stand out.

FIFA World Cup 2014 - Quarter Finals (Part One)


The quarter finals of the FIFA WORLD CUP Brasil has begun and the climax draws near as Germany and Brasil are advancing to the semi finals.

In the battle between the French and the Germans, a single score from Germany is more than enough to bring the French national football team down to their knees while in the match between Brazil vs. Colombia, it's the hosting nation, Brazil, still going on strong after their 2-1 win against Colombia.

Tomorrow's match on the quarter finals will be Argentina vs. Belgium and Holland vs. Costa Rica.

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.
