2009-11-05T01:03:30Z

Elena Desserich was diagnosed with brain cancer just before her sixth birthday. She was told she has 135 days to live, but she lived 255 days, passing away in 2007.

Okay, get ready a hanky, prepare to cry.

Elena began writing and hiding hundreds of little love notes around the house for her parents to find after she was gone. After her death, Elena’s parents, Brooke and Keith Desserich, found hundred of notes from Elena hidden around the house — in between CD cases, between bookshelves, in dresser drawers, in backpacks.

See more Elena’s Notes here.

Elena’s parents have now published these notes in a book called Notes Left Behind to fund a non-profit organization The Cure Starts Now dedicated to fighting pediatric brain cancer.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It (2009) – Movie Review

2009-10-29T15:53:38Z

Michael Jackson’s This Is It is a concert film documenting Michael Jackson’s rehearsals of the concert series of the same name. The concert which was scheduled to start on July 13, 2009 was abruptly cancelled because of his death on June 25, 2009. The film shows Jackson mentoring his team, creating, developing, directing and staging the performances.

SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It

Directed by Kenny Ortega, the film features 24 songs from his albums. The film starts with a small introduction text followed by audition for dancers and rehearsals of songs and dance choreography. The highlight of the film includes the remake of “Thriller” 3D version, amazing high-tech stage set ups, duet rehearsal with Judith Hill for “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” and lots of special effects and something we have never seen before.

The movie ends with “This Is It” and “Heal the World” during the credits. Some notable songs weren’t featured include “You Are Not Alone”, “Remember The Time” and “Ben”.

Overall, from a neutral perspective, the film is well produced with superior sound editing, great cinematography combining different angles of the rehearsal footage. As a fan, we get to see the making of what would be the best concert of the century if “This Is It” were to be shown “Live”. Michael Jackson’s a perfectionist, a great singer, a superb dancer, a well-respected director, a mastermind and most of all, a loving soul.

My ratings: 8 out of 10.

Amber Chia Strips Down for PETA

Amber Chia strips down for PETA

Malaysia’s very own supermodel, Amber Chia stripped down almost completely and had her body painted with tiger stripes for PETA’s anti-zoo campaign. She is the first Malaysian celebrity they have roped in to help their cause urging people to boycott zoos.

According to Senior Peta campaigner Ashley Fruno, “Wild animals belong in the wild. An animal who lives a long and healthy life but dies in the wild is not worse off than animals who spend all their lives pacing in enclosures.”

What do you think of the campaign? Should wild animals be kept in the zoo or roam free?

Listen to Music For Free Online

2009-10-18T12:24:28Z

These days, you can do almost anything online for free and that includes listening to your favorite songs without paying a single cent. Below we have listed the top 5 sites you can listen and groove to your favorite track for free (well, almost all). Check it out: -

Grooveshark (http://listen.grooveshark.com/)

Grooveshark is one of the best places to listen to music online for free. There are millions of songs in their collection. The only downside is there will be a 160×600px banner ad which will keep showing you ads (which can be removed at $3/mo). On the other hand, you don’t have to look at the screen once you have added all the songs you want to listen to the queue. You can even save those songs to a playlist and embed the playlist to your iGoogle, Blogger, MySpace, Hi5, Typepad, Wordpress, Orkut and so on.

Pros: Million of songs, Fast and smooth streaming, Ability to save playlist and embed the playlist as widgets to social networking sites and blogs.
Cons: No continuous play.

Jango (www.jango.com/)

Jango used to be my favorite music site until recently where it started to collaborate with Rhapsody. Unlike Grooveshark, Jango limits the number of songs you are able to listen to although they list down all the songs from an artist. And if you are lucky, you may be able to listen to your favorite track by your favorite artist.

Pros: A huge collection of songs, Pretty good streaming most of the time, Continuous play according to your what you have previously searched.
Cons: Only selected tracks are available for streaming randomly.

Napster (http://free.napster.com/)

Napster, these days is your source of legal music. There is a free section on Napster where you can stream your favorite music for free. But in order to listen to full length tracks, you must reside in the US. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to listen to your favorite track for only 30 seconds.

Pros: A huge collection of songs.
Cons: Only available to the US residents (others can only listen to a 30-second snippets). Even so users can only listen to any particular song up to three times, after which the users will need to subscribe to Napster or purchase the song to play it in full again.

Last FM (www.last.fm)

Last FM is one of the most popular music sites around with the ability to recommend you tracks based on what you listen to — the more you listen, the more Last FM will learn about you and the more personalized your radio station will become. However, like Napster, there is a limitation. For users living outside US, UK and Germany, you only get to listen to the radio for 30 days for free, which afterwards, you must subscribe to continue. For users in the US, UK and Germany, you can listen to Last FM for free with the exception of subscription premium radio features: listening to playlists and stations of music you’ve loved or tagged.

Pros: A huge collection of songs, Personalized radio, Ability to download a scrobbler and listen without login to the browser, Ability to listen on your iPod, Selected MP3’s available for download for free.
Cons: Available only to residents of US, UK and Germany whereas others can only listen for free for 30 days.

YouTube (www.youtube.com/

Although YouTube is a video streaming site, there are millions of music videos available in YouTube. With the playlist, you can add all your favorite tracks into one place and let it run in the background, and voila, your own jukebox with videos!

Pros: A huge collection of songs (music videos), Can watch the music videos while listening to your favorite tracks.
Cons: Slower streaming, Not available in some countries, i.e. China.

Honorable mentions: VH1 Radio, Yahoo! Music, MySpace.
