Libera's CNY Greetings

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, guys. Libera has posted a CNY greeting to all of us. Thanks to Art Artemis for the link. This was my dream that they'll do a greeting for CNY someday. And this year, my wish has came true :D. I was surprise that they spoke Mandarin. Ha ha! Well, practice more, guys, for your Taiwan concerts. They actually greet us in three words. The first one I'm not sure. But the two other words are "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (said by Cassius) and "Xin Nian Kuai Le" (said by Ben). I hear these words a lot during Chinese New Year. Guys, I won't blame you for wrong pronouncations :). Keep trying.

To all blog readers, have a prosperous year of the snake :).

Additional Concert to Korea

Update (12 January 2013, 10:42 AM): One more venue has been added to their Korea tour. Congratulations, Libera. Looks like they'll be having 5 concerts in Taiwan and 2 concerts in Korea. It's gonna be one busy Asia tour for them. But it's a great opportunity for the newbies who haven't been these two places yet ;). Now that all the venues for the concerts in both countries have been finalized, I can put the dates and times (the usual stuff) up here.

3 December 2012:
Attention to all Korean fans! Libera has announced that they will be having a concert on the 13 April, 2013 at the Sejong Center. Most probably it'll be after their Taiwan concerts. I'm glad they're going back to Korea for another great concert. I bet all their fans are happy to hear this. My vacation to Korea last February brings me back memories. I wanna go back there again. I thought that Libera will go to Japan after Taiwan. But it's Korea instead. Sorry, Japan. Maybe next Spring tour in 2014, perhaps :). 

Stay tune for more updates. Hope all of you guys can go :).

Update (4 November, 9:17 AM): I found another poster for the Taiwan concert on Facebook posted by Adrian. Looks the same from the Japanese concert poster I have at home, except the language is in Mandarin. He he.

3 November:

A friend of mine named Jean has tweeted on Twitter that Libera is coming to Taiwan next year for the Spring tour. Wow! Happy for Libera and other Taiwanese fans, plus Jean too :). Thanks so much for the great news, Jean :D. First this year is Singapore, now Taiwan. Looks like Libera is touring to new countries a lot. Hopefully they can come to my country next. Dates, time and venues are out now. Ticket prices are not announced yet. Will update more soon :). I hope many people can go.
Oh and by the way, many of you are hoping that Libera will come back to countries like Japan, Philippines, and Singapore. We are not sure what Libera has installed for us. But fingers crossed that Libera might extend their Spring tour to other countries after they visit Taiwan, okay? :) 
In other words, for those who are planning to go, please don't book your air flight tickets yet.

Libera 2012 Video

This was done by my great Japanese friend, Yuki. This video shows her concert experiences in 2012. She has been to all except Arundel. I'm so glad I got to meet her and her mom in Singapore, even though we only met once. And only in the concert venue. I would love to see her again :D. Please give her credit if you wish to re post her video anywhere. And do not remove the watermark if you want to screencap some of her pics from this video.

Happy New Year 2013

Happy New Year 2013 to all Libera fans out there. Hope this year will bring you good luck and happiness to you all. I wonder what Libera has installed for us this year, besides just the Asia concerts. Let's find out soon :D.

Libera Christmas Video 2012 + Loose Moose Show

Yes, it's finally Christmas Eve :D!! So, I should start with a greeting by saying, "Merry Christmas, everybody!" I'm so happy that I got to see Libera in Singapore this year after all the waiting and meeting my lovely friends whom I know so well. I don't know where my next Libera concert experience will be. But I would love to see them again if they come back to Singapore, maybe next two years. Libera just posted a Christmas greeting on YouTube. They are having a Christmas party it seems. This is the first time I hear Dylan talk as well. Happy to know that. 
Merry Christmas, everyone who's reading my blog and happy holidays. 

Loose Moose news:
Oh! And one more news. Loose Moose 5 have also send us a greeting and plus, their new episode coming soon. Ya hoo!! It's about time :DDDD. 

Autumn Tour by Libera

Their Autumn tour review is out now. You can read it all here. For many months, I still can't identify who's the writer, even though their style of writing is different. Oh well, whoever wrote about this, I have one thing to say: "Good job". What I love about this blog is that we get to see the boys wearing their casual clothes during their tour around N. Ireland. Most of the time you see them wearing their white/black hoodies or their blue polo t-shirts. But it's good to wear casual clothings once in a while and keep the polo shirts for M&G's :). You know what I'm saying. Ha ha! Enjoy reading.

I'm surprise that Mr De Occampo is there :D. 

Libera MV Voting

I just got an email from EMI Classics a few days ago, telling about voting for your favorite Libera MV. I'm suppose to post about this earlier but because of my exams, I can't. Now that  exams are over, I can finally go back to blogging :). Anyways, click on the link below to vote for your favorite video. You can also leave a message in the comment section, telling why you chose that video and why you love Libera. That's fascinating. Don't forget to buy the Song of Life Collection CD if you haven't.

Happy Birthday, Liam

Hello, angel boy :). Today is your 17th birthday. Yay! My favorite angel has all grown up. Sigh! Sadly, this will be my last time posting a greeting. Liam, even though you may left the group, but that doesn't mean you gave up on singing. Oh no! Keep on singing and composing :). You'll always be a part of Libera, no matter what. Good luck in the future. And I hope to see you acting more on Loose Moose Show. The picture above doesn't belong to me by the way. It was made by a Russian fan named Xenya. Thanks to her for the beautiful design. I also have a video specially made for his day. But something went wrong when I tried to publish my video to YouTube. The video will be posted later. So, please bear with me for a few days until I get it fixed probably after my exams. 

UPDATE (24 Dec): Here is the video I promised you all. If the video is not working or is block in your country, please do let me know. Oh, and a reminder, DO NOT reupload this video to your YouTube accounts. Thank you. 

Libera Dreams Competition

Libera Dreams Forum has hosted a competition where you can win some really cool and fantastic prizes :). I didn't know about this competition until Yuni posted on her blog. Thanks a lot :D.

Probably next week or this week. So check out the forum for the updates from them.

Libera The Christmas Album CD

I finally found the CD I've been wanting to get. Libera The Christmas Album. Yeah, I know it's from last year but it's still relatively new :). I bought it from the same mall I found it last year. Luckily it's still there. You could say it's an early Christmas present. Ha ha!

Anyways, below are some pictures, chorister list and song list for the Autumn tour. I noticed that Barney did not appear much in concerts now these days. And so was Liam.

Concert poster at St Philips

Oh before I end this post, I do apologize if I didn't post the concert date for the St George concert. It seems I got a little distracted by something (which I think some of you know. Hehe). Will try to post about it later if I can.

More to come soon......

Libera - Eternal Light (Director's Cut)

What a marvelous surprise. A user named LabSupreme posted a video of Libera's video of Eternal Light (Director's Cut), which means we can get to see some of the scenes which are not shown in Libera's official video of the song. All thanks to those who tweeted the link. I was suppose to watch this yesterday but I figured I watch the original version first. But too bad I didn't finish the video. Ha ha! Call me lazy if ya want :P. Below are some screenshots from the video. I'll try to watch both if I'm not tempted by Kpop songs or anything. He he! Enjoy!

Love Stefan here. Libera should use this scene for their next album.

They look so cute back then :3.

This scene is my favorite♥♥

Beautiful view of Chiswick House. I really wanna go to London now!
