I'm So Like This

Sing with Libera, in Manila, like this!

Sep 9

A very popular choir group, Libera is going to the Phillippines to sing. I can’t go to the Phillippines, but maybe those who are there might try. One catch, could you sing with them, like this?

Fantastic soprano? I daresay it is. I’m not a fan of the Gregorian/polyphonic chant kind of thing, but they’re really so good I can’t help but take notice.

The first line of Gloria:

Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus.

(Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to mankind)

Is no doubt reminiscent of the Gloria in the Mass of Roman Catholicism. Perhaps that is the reason why Libera decided to go to the most Catholic country in Asia. Tickets ranging from 500 to 3850 pesos, at the PICC Plenary Hall in Manila. If you’re going, get your tickets here. Remember, October 25! Or remember, Youtube!

Some updates – new blog and renting films

Issue #1

Guys, I was busy the past few days. But guess what?

I have a NEW blog again. And this is the one which I promised I would do, for a very very long time – my Korean blog, at www.koreanlikethis.com. Does it sound a ringbell? You bet it does! It’s the family of “Like This” hahahaha!!!!

As you probably know, that blog’s for all my stuff that I know about Korean. For now I’ll probably do some simple stuff like writing and posting pics.  But God willing, I will make cooler stuff like vlogging and podcasting in the future, both here and in my K-blog.

So my friends who are into Korean too, please add me to your blogrolls, please help me about Korean, thanks! ㅋㅋㅋ

Issue #2

I don’t know if you know this, but Youtube is currently planning to allow RENTING of movie films. Which means you and I will be able to watch Hollywood films online, streaming, without the hassle of having to download them as in the iTunes store, or the hassle of watching them free but only in the US as in Hulu.com or annoying the big entertainment companies for *downloading* from *some other places*. If this actually happens that means ALL of us may be able to watch our favourite movies on our favourite video channel, with perhaps a favourable fee. I will not settle for anything more than 3 to 4 USD per film because that’s usually how much I pay for watching in cinemas or DVDs.

Is it exciting? I guess it is. It feels like a viable alternative for me I’m certain. I don’t like to download every single movie I’m watching, I don’t like expensive stuff, I don’t like having to live in the US just to be able to watch stuff free.

Where did I get this news:

  1. Techgeist
  2. Business Week
  3. The Movie Blog

Lol, guess I’m a little backdated in telling you this news. The whole thing came out in early September and I’m only talking about it now. :P

In an ordinary day like this, Kremlintube!

Sep 3

Posted by j.i.lo in Blog, Video | 4 Comments

Boring day today. But something interesting cropped up in my Twitter today.

Sometime ago I heard that the British Monarchy decided to be more open and had their own channel in Youtube. Previously the Vatican had a headstart with videos and videos of papal speeches. Then I stumbled upon India’s official tube of exotic dance vids and some tourist-pulling ads. America has her own channel linking various subchannels of the different government agencies. And now this.

Youtube tweets about Kremlin coming to Youtube

Like I said, today’s a boring day. It would’ve been more interesting if I could make out what Russian President Dmitri Medvedev was talking about in his government’s Youtube channel, and make more sense of the Cyrillic script. Can I suggest something to the Russians – English please? At least some subs. You know, so that people all around the world can understand what you’re trying to say better. I unfortunately have yet to master Russian and I really like to hear what the President is saying. It’s a great thing isn’t it?

If you happen to be great in Russian, perhaps you should also check out President Dmitri Medvedev’s blog here, powered by LiveJournal which is , not surprisingly, used by many blogger Russians AND owned by a Russian company. Nationalism.

Well, since our country is neutrally friendly to both the USA and Russia, that makes for fair coverage doesn’t it? :P

PS: I’ve seen you guys’ comments on the movies. I’ll be catching some movies soon based on your recommendations. :)
