<p><font color="#ff0000">Fantasy, thriller, romance, comedy, action, and mystery packed in one. ABS-CBN&#8217;s primetime teleserye LOBO is indeed a beautifully crafted story of a love that stands the test of fate and circumstances.</font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">Lyka Raymundo, played by Ms. Angel Locsin, is a zestful person who  grew up under the care of her Aunt, Mama Clara who frowned at her ambition of becoming a fashion designer. Trying to fill up the missing pieces of her life, she will then be dimmed by the secrets lying behind her past and all that she believed in will be shattered as she discover that she&#8217;s not who she knew she was.</font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">Noah Ortega, played by Mr. Piolo Pascual, an intelligent soldier who, behind his serious and cold appearance, have opened himself to all the complications that love can bring. As his adopted father commands his way of life, fate will interfere and the young boy within him will be facing the challenge of breaking the rules and defying all reasons.</font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">Lobo is a story of how love can survive even in the hardest of time. ABS-CBN have again created a masterpiece in portraying the queer possibilities and twists of life. The story is lavishing with creativeness, imagination and passion. Watching LOBO bridge the dimensions of fantasy and reality. We need not wait for the red full moon to experience the excitement of transforming into a wolf and falling inlove, all we gotta do is sit back and let Angel and Piolo take us there. <img src='http://weblogman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </font></p>

This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 is the second Ferrari to get a version of this new powerplant.

<p align="center">What I See!</p>
<p align="center"><span style="color: #ff3300">With my eyes closed I can c<br />
we have a chance 2 discover ecstasy<br />
but the clouds of doubt have made u blind<br />
so u R afraid of the emotions that u may find<br />
I know that you&#8217;ve been hurt before<br />
but this is no excuse 4 u 2 ignore<br />
the seed that cupid planted, in hopes that we could sow<br />
This infant emotion deserves 2 breathe so why won&#8217;t u let it grow<br />
A neglected flower will wither and on it&#8217;s own it will surely die<br />
But with honesty, passion, and mutual respect we can soar beyond the sky<br />
So please don&#8217;t follow what u c follow the rhythm within<br />
your heart</span><span style="font-size: 1.4em"><br />
</span><span style="color: #ff3300">Believe in me though u cannot c what lies within the Dark</span></p>
