Lexus RX 2010

And I thought Porsche Cayenne is one sexy ride, but Lexus RX 350/LF-Xh  of year 2010 blew me away. The exterior design is sleek, fierce, and simply futuristic. I also got a peek of the interior design, reminds me of the Lexus from the movie "Minority Report". Let's just hope the maneuver of the car meets our expectation. Some basic specs of this 2010 beauty: 

+ 3.5L V6 engine, remains the same as the old RX, but pumping out an extra 5hp to 275hp and 6lb-ft of torque

+ the wheelbase has been extended

+ overall vehicle length and width has been increased and the height bumped up significantly

+ 18" wheels are now standard

+ a new sport-tuned suspension will be available as an option

The biggest difference between the old and new is the increase in hight and weight! Definitely weight, the chassis of the older models are just way too light. If the car isn't loaded with passengers or with goods, it is better not to drive above 70mph. Anyways, there is no need to drive fast with a SUV. However, at times when driving on the highway, it is easy to reach a speed of 70mph and you can feel the car waver. Another concern is the car's turning radius. I have driven bigger SUVs with better turning radius so technically speaking, size shouldn't be an issue when making U-turns or drastic turns.

Matchstick [The Japanese Way]

Oh My Goodness! If I own one of these matchsticks... I would never use them! This got to be the cutest thing I have seen for a good while. Just look look look *aawww* My favorite has to be the panda! I've never seen a black matchstick leg combined with face prints on the head of the stick... pure genius!

BoA entering America

The song which BoA (a korean pop-star) will be utilizing to enter the American market "Eat You Up" has a catchy beat. Indeed, she is an awesome dancer. The choreography in this MV totally shows she can move, but I don't know about the song portraying her vocal skills. Her producer needs to work on that part, totally need to show the audience she can sing. Even though I don't follow her as an artist, I still wish her the best of luck. We shall see how the market reacts and hope she makes it big, not only in America but internationally.

Top Five Confession

We are always searching for the best, but there are time we cannot help but turn back and stick with the original. Why? Two reasons: you cannot find someone else to replace and "the natives" have always have a special place within your heart. The following are five men that are beyond special to me; either knowing them personally or not. No one can supersede their throne, at least until this day. And in no particular order, here we go... 

No.5 K

Resembles my first Asian crush whom I met during summer of 2000. His smile and face have forever imprinted in my memory and every time I see this singer, a smile just surface on my face. 

No.4 Kim Sung Soo

Come'n, it's Kim Sung Soo: fine fine fine. The first time I saw him in this korean drama, he captured all my senses. Physically, at least for me, he's just way beyond fine. Manly and sexy!

 

 

No.3 Jang Dong Gun

The epitome of a hot korean actor. He got it all: reputation, sexiness, manliness, height, charisma, etc., Who can have the heart to reject him? 

 

No.2 Cookie

Haven't seen or met any dog more handsome than Mr. Cookie. When he was alive, he was the king of the dog. Got the wit, looks, and built. R.I.P. little brother. You will always be the best dog ever!

No.1 Mr. Anonymous

Finally someone I know! He's just the ideal boy. Met him when I was in high school and we are still friends. Both of us have been single since the day we met "crazy I know". The more I try to swim-away and look for other fishes, explore the ocean, he always re-appear in my mind. I feel everything is like a circle, always going back to the beginning. 

With Love & Luck,
