A friend recommended Gossip Girl, a not-so-new TV series (it was started some time in October September 2007) from CTV CW. The story is concentrated around the life of a group of privileged teenagers who attend an elite private school in New York City, based on a popular book series of the same title.
She bought a DVD (a pirated one :p) but won’t let me borrow it yet always makes it sound that it’s the best series in the world (for people who love teen flicks and college-life series), enough to strike curiosity about the show. So I have to resort to online viewing. Good thing I have PLDT as my ISP because I don’t have to wait for the clip to load.
I had a hard time looking for websites that will let me view the whole episodes for Season 1. YouTube only has clips of some episodes because of copyright issues. I stumbled over good sites like Sidereel, TV Live Shows, and FREE TV Online I’m glad I also found some of my favorite TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, House MD, and Smallville. A good number of movies could also be found.

Recently, I posted about GlobalPandora which allows non-US residents to listen to Pandora without using any proxies. However, due maybe to the million hits and overwhelming traffic from its international users (it was said that more than 50% of listeners are outside the US), they’ve been having server glitches and technical problems these past days. When I visit the site last night, the box was closed… again. *lets out a sigh*
Hmmm, could it be that my IP address was detected as US because I have successfully signed up using a US Zip code? I could access the original Pandora, though, through proxies. But, again, they are down for maintenance.

I’ve been planning of putting up a blog containing OPM 3gp videos for cellphones. In fact, I’ve already started it. But it is still on experimental stage. Currently, I am using WordPress as my platform but I am also opting to use a CMS like Joomla! or Xoops.
Where did the idea come from?
A friend of mine has been obsessed with 3gp music videos that he would ask me every time we meet to download him some 3gp music videos, even movies.
Where to get videos
I usually search for member-uploaded Pinoy music videos in YouTube.com. There are also available ones in Google Video and Yahoo! Videos.
Software Needed:
I am currently using YouTube Downloader which can both download videos directly from YouTube in .flv format. It has also the ability to convert flv files to 3gp format. It also allows you to convert downloaded videos for Ipod, Iphone, PSP, Windows Media, XVid and MP3.

I found this good news from Hezron Mariano’s blog while blog hopping through Pinoy Entrecards.
Remember Pandora? A friend of mind recommended it to me and I got to listen to some songs before it was restricted to US residents only. Pandora radio is the personalized internet radio service that helps you find new music based on your old and current favorites under the Music Genome Project.
Well, here’s the good alternative to all non-US residents. The box is open! You can now listen to your favorite songs through GlobalPandora.
Note: After about 30 minutes of free music listening, you are still required to open your account and sadly it’s still exclusive for US residents.
But here’s what I did to make a free account:

Radiohead recently released their latest album “In Rainbows” as digital download where customers and fans can download their copies from their website at whatever price they want! The move was applauded by some marketing gurus as a good strategy for higher sales when it was officially released in discs. (Note: In Rainbows is no longer available as a download.)
Here’s another good news to the fans again. The band will be performing an exclusive live US TV performance of their new album “In Rainbows” on Current TV, all commercial free as another way to promote their album.
Logon to Current TV on December 31, 2007 at midnight (12 AM EST, 9 PM PST) and watch them online for free!

Some friends have been asking where they could download free Pinoy mp3 music. Here are a list of sites which offer free downloads:
1. Get free Pinoy MP3s from The Digital Pinoy. It has a linkshare where users can upload and download OPM. It works like any other post-to programs. Every download is worth some points which you acquire through posting in their forums.
2. MP3Mocha. It has a large collection of OPM albums and allows you to download the full album.
