Katherine Jenkins
I cannot believe my ears AND eyes!
Katherine Jenkins is a Welsh with amazing, radiant, stunning look but when she began to sing, my jaw dropped..
What a deadly combo of look and talent! She is almost too good to be true..
It looks like she was manufactured somewhere out of earth..
Apparently Katherine Jenkins is a very popular Mezzo-soprano with tons of albums already!
Wikipedia said Six out of seven of Jenkins’s studio albums reached number one in the classical charts between 2004 and 2008, selling a total of more than 4 million copies.
How come I have never heard of her until now? I must have lived in a cave! (*plays Flinstones theme song*)
edit: oh that’s right, I never followed classical charts
More stuff from Wiki:
Between 1990 and 1996 Jenkins was a member of the Royal School of Church Music Cathedral Singers and won the St Cecilia Award, the highest RSCM award for female choristers.[4] She was also a member of the National Youth Choir of Wales for three years,[5] won the BBC Radio 2 Welsh Choirgirl of the Year contest (twice), and the BET Welsh Choirgirl of the Year competition. She was also awarded the Pelenna Valley Male Voice Choir Scholarship for the most promising young singer. At the age of 17 she won a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music,[4] where she studied Italian, German, French and Russian, graduating with honours[5] and receiving a music teacher’s diploma.
Phew, that’s lots of award for such a young age!
Anyway she’s coming to Melbourne on October but it’s such a shame I cannot be there. She will be performing on Rod Laver’s arena.
So I will just watch her performing Parla Piu Piano/Godfather’s theme, on YouTube again….

Skype for iPad – Released!
Finally!
Today I woke up and somehow I immediately grab my iPad and checked out App Store, looking for Skype for iPad app. To my amazement, the app is actually there, and the relese date is 2 August.. that’s today!!
Now I did not know it was coming! I never followed any news on Skype or whatsoever, so I guess it’s a pretty awesome coincidence isn’t it?
What’s With All The Talk About This Skype For iPad?
You see, all this time, we Skype users were forced to use the iPhone-optimized version of Skype in our iPad.
It works, but it is pretty fugly.
After months and months struggling with Skype for iPhone, we finally get the chance to have our own optimized for iPad version of Skype!
Yay!
Skype For Ipad – How Does it Look
It looks exactly like Skype for Windows.. I would say that you will have zero learning curve here if you have used Skype before. Video works like a charm and you can switch between front and back camera! YAYYYY
Alright folks, now go to your AppStore and search “Skype for iPad” and taste the awesomeness.
Victory Loves Preparation
So a few months ago I watched this action movie called the Mechanic starring the badass Jason Statham, and in the movie Jason was given a vintage handgun engraved with a quote that really can’t get out of my head:
Victory Loves Preparation
A really powerful quote I must say!
Really you should aim for ‘victory’ in your life, be it in your career, in your family, in your relationship.
But having a goal is not enough. You need to take action and you should plan them by making action plans. Seriously, if you don’t make action plans and adhere to it, you will end up forgetting about your dreams and going to the wrong directions.
So you want to achieve financial freedom eh? Good, the question is, when do you want to achieve it?
How can you achieve it?
What are the resources that you need? What are the skills that you need?
Who are the people that you need to get in touch with?
One of the success camp I attended years ago taught me to put the answer of the above questions in a giant sized board or paper, and put it in a place where you can see them every day.
So let’s prepare for our victory!
Have a great weekend.
Youtube Superstars: How Much Do They Earn?
I remembered when my friends and I were watching Freddie Wong‘s channel for the first time and our reaction was something like “THAT’S AWESOME!!!”.
And then one of us pop out the question.. “Hey, they must be so rich, they can make awesome videos every week using expensive equipments that cost thousands of dollars”
Really?
Well, apparently it’s the other way round!
How can they make such a good video every week, with that much amount of work… it’s simply because they earn money with their YouTube channels! Apparently, when done right, a YouTube channel is a cash cow.
The Nigahiga Case
Let’s take a look of NigaHiga.
Nigahiga has about the highest number of subscribers on YouTube. This guy makes funny skits and comedy videos that gone viral.
He reportedly make about $151,000 a year! That’s $12,583 per month, $3,146 per week or $629.17 per day!
Where did he get all that money from?
According to this site, Youtube partners make money from several ways.
The first is from video views. Every 1000 person viewing the video will bring home about $2.5 to $5.
At $2.5 per 1000 views, if you get 3,000,000 views, that’s about $7500 at the minimum! And that’s per video! Let’s imagine these superstars with dozens of video with over 3million views.. how much money do they make? Ka-ching~!!
The most popular stars like Nigahiga will earn $5 per 1000 views, which sums up to approximately $5000 per video he put up (I believe should be more, as he has at least 3 million views per video).
And that, sir, is a good $$$ for something that you really enjoy doing.
($_$)
Still think that’s a modest sum of money? According to the previous site, the second way for people to make money from YouTube is through Channel views.
A youtube partner will make $.01 per channel view. If a channel has 1,000,000 channel views, the person will make $10,000.
Nigahiga got 141 million channel views. So he has made $1,410,000 from channel views alone. One million dollars!
And that’s still not enough to make us common viewers drool. These youtube partners still make money from video ads and sponsors. And they also sell T-shirts if you notice.
So is anyone interested to become a YouTube superstar? Just grab a HD cam like Flip or whatever, record your funny ideas and make it viral!
