I was bloghopping and freebie hunting and came across this video from Beth Nixon:
I still haven't found a way to organize the many fonts I've amassed. Haven't even re-installed any of them since my PC was fixed. This video sure reminded me that I needed to work on that too.
Have you seen DrHorrible's Sing-Along Blog?
It's hilarious!
Go. Watch. Laugh.
Seriously. The people behind this are genius! Haha
EDITED 7/27
I went back to watch Dr.Horrible one more time but found the videos to be gone! It seems like it's now only available in iTunes. :(
This is what's left:

Yet another EDIT:
Okay, so read the master plan behind Dr.Horrible here. Amazing.
For my birthday present (actual birthday on the 22nd), Alfred is getting me DVDs of Lobo, a local TV series. He got me the first volume (4 hours worth) last week but I only started watching it on Wednesday. I've already seen some of it when it was shown on TV, but some of the scenes still move me. This series is definitely one of my favorites. Here's a preview:
Because of my work schedule I was not able to watch the series regularly. Hence the DVDs.
I wonder if ABS-CBN will ever consider releasing older teleseryes on DVD? I'd definitely be interested in the one where John Lloyd and Bea's loveteam was born - what was the title of that series? Found it: Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay. I think it was this series that got me really hooked on Pinoy telenovelas on Primetime TV. This was also the series that brought Lorna Tolentino's TV career back to life. I loved her in this series.
Mom and Dad went to the Lung Center Sunday Market yesterday and came home with 2 pairs of birds. They are cute little ones but they forgot to ask what kind of birds these are. Alfred says they're society finches but he's not sure.
They sure are playful and very chirpy! Watch them flying about and listen to their singing for yourself. Here's a video I took just now:
Ok, I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie, but every time I do, I enjoy it. I sing the song over and over sometimes :)
Thanks to Tracy who posted this video over at her blog, I now know the lyrics to Alex Fletcher's very own composition, the one he wrote and performed at the concert. Yes, the one that got the girl :) It's not my favorite song, it isn't as catchy nor poetic (sorry, I am not a literary genius ok) as Way back into love but it's got magic. With songs, sometimes, it's the thought that counts. Or rather, it's how it makes you feel that matters. And who wouldn't have a soft spot for someone who sings that?
It made me feel the same way it did years ago when I watched Pauie and the rest of the UPSA perform it live in the Abelardo Theater (UP College of Music). I was in awe, and in a way, inspired.
Light of a Million Mornings became my favorite UPSA piece, next to The Circle of Life (hehehe).
Watching it on You Tube, and reading the comments complimenting Pauie on such a job well done, made me feel proud of my friend. We auditioned together for a then new organization at the UP - the Music Circle. They took notice of her awesome performance - how talented she was, and how she lights up when she sings. Anyway, we didn't push through with Music Circle, but months later - Pauie signed up with the Singing Ambassadors.
She's been a member for many years now, and it has been an integral part of her life. And we, her friends, have been sworn in to the UPSA fans' club as lifetime members. :) We would troop to the UP Theater, or to the College of Music, to watch their concerts, and it was always an amazing show. Even after college or when we had our differences, we would go.
I love the musicality of this song, having seen it performed by Pauie and the UPSA made it even more beautiful for me. But what appeals to me, is what the song actually conveys - deep faith in the Lord, and the joy that faith could bring into one's life. I was surprised that over at You Tube, people are comparing the performances and pitting Regine's version over Sarah's, but that's not the point. It's not who sings it better. Anyone who has found something they believed in, a faith that sustains them, deserves the right to sing this beautiful song. We all deserve to have the light of a million mornings fill our hearts.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a candle that shines for the Lord? I think I saw myself as one, when I was younger and more - spiritual.
Anyway, I really just wanted to show everyone that my friend's on You Tube. Haha :)
Digital piracy seems to be the modern day crime. It is definitely a multi-million dollar underground industry that no doubts fuels economies, and probably even feeds as much families as it deprives.
In this country alone, there are regular police raids at known places where pirated CDs and DVDs are sold and yet, they continue to thrive. They are still everywhere. In a country like ours, I think that what keeps the pirates alive is the fact that original DVDs still cost a fortune. Even the record companies' claims that the original lasts longer than the copies don't discourage people from buying. They can buy 4 copies of pirated CDs in the original's life span, and it would still only be at a fraction of the original price.
The real and more lasting solution, is not just to penalize piracy, but to provide better alternatives for the common man. If they can afford to buy the original, of course they would prefer to buy those. That's just my take on it.
I know there are some Pinoys who don't buy pirated local records or movies, they get those original, in support of the local entertainment industry. But for movies out of Hollywood, and music from foreign acts, you can bet that every household probably own a CD or two.
As a beginning digital scrapbooker (perpetual beginner), I know that piracy is one big issue for the community too. With oodles of generosity from freebie designers, there should be no need for anyone to pirate their beautiful work.
Anyhow, I came across this video from Heidi's blog and that's what got me thinkin:
I hope you enjoyed the video :)
