Too Close by Benjor
As you probably know, Karaoke is a big thing in the Philippines. Benjor, our talented young Filipino artist who designed this site, has been getting into singsnap online karaoke. He found a recording by Amber68 and made an animation that I’ll share with you. 🙂

Fortunately I was able to dig out some articles from our archives.
[Update: I’ve found some more of the content and will add them with a guess at their original posting date.]
Filipinos in Cambridge
"Technically speaking, Cambridge could be the most diverse place in Britain. It is a small city whose famous university attracts large numbers of people from around the world. And yet it remains very English, scarcely marked by its exotic but transient population – except at noon on Sundays. Then, in the suburb of Cherry Hinton, the St Philip Howard Catholic church throngs like downtown Manila."
