An Answered Prayer

I saw my Dad pressing those buttons profusely to get to another sports channel he enjoys watching in the afternoon. It would have been easy to do that if we did not have 4 TV sets, 3 DVD players and a play station II console. Not to mention the sound system and the couple of speakers we have spread across the living room that use these remote controls. He ended up throwing that out of frustration... and I guess tomorrow I'll be buying another one of those universal remote controls that do not work when you need it.

Different brands, different frequencies, radio wave or infra red we do not have the capability to understand all these complicated and technical things just to be able to switch channels. I hate to spend a couple hundred dollars just to buy a more complicated remote that would not work because you need to decipher hundreds of codes. Since I am the more technical one, I end up getting frustrated too when Mom and Dad asks me to do it for them.

Lo and behold our prayers have been answered! With the use of just one remote to control them all, life would be really easy. They just released the new Yamaha neoHD and this one just gets everything working. The DVD, TV and radio is a cinch to control with just minimal control buttons customized for ease of use. I want to get that thing into my hands now.

They also launched the Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes for those who want to get this for free! I love them so more since they made it easier for me to get one. My dear readers, try to find them on face book and tell me why do you need the new NEOHD? Are you going to enter the contest like I did? Comments are welcome!

The Dangers of ATV Rollovers

All terrain vehicles are very popular in the United States and most middle income families can afford purchasing one. In recent events, Japanese manufacturer YAMAHA has recalled hundreds of the Rhino Side by Side ATV vehicles because of the great risk of rollovers. The popular brand produced this particular model without side doors and it has endangered a lot of individuals who choose to be in the driver or passenger seat. Everyone else was forced to put their foot out to balance the actual All Terrain Vehicle because the faulty proportion in it's design. The center of gravity was too far off and the wheels were too narrow because it would possibly be designed from Japanese models that often come in that condition. I remember SUZUKI also had the same problem on their small AUV models previously because it had the same construction as the Rhino ATV.

I had a friend who had an accident in a YAMAHA Motor bike just last year. He literally smashed his face on an incoming vehicle that swerved on his lane that sent him flying to the other vehicles metal side car. He needed a couple of million pesos just to reconstruct his face and nose. Aside from that, he lost his sight on his left eye. I really tried my best to comfort him but in that condition, you just really are helpless. I hope there would be a more stricter standard implemented for All Terrain Vehicles so people would not meet the same fate as my best friend did. Imagine how hard it would have been for his wife and young daughter. Imagine how it would be if this Yamaha Rhino Rollover happened to you right?!
