Dear HOOQ, you keep me up at night

Dear HOOQ,

Since I’ve met you, I’ve never been the same. You keep me going until the wee hours of the morning, past my usual bedtime. My sister said I should get some sleep but I couldn’t help it. I just stare at my phone, smiling. Sometimes even laughing.  


Actually, it’s not only at night. You keep me entertained all day, anywhere and anytime I need it. All I have to prepare is an internet-enabled device (whether a tablet, smartphone or computer), internet connection, and a monthly subscription which starts as low as P199.

You’ve given me unlimited online streaming access to thousands of movies and TV series, both local and foreign [Hollywood, Filipino, Japanese, Thai, Bollywood]. I love it when I get to stream my favorite shows and discover new ones as I go.


I can also access you on up to 5 devices (2 can even run simultaneously) and download up to a total of 5 movies for offline viewing. You’ve definitely made movie nights something to look forward to!

While others critique you for having old taste [selections are not up-to-date], I think it’s not all that bad. Because, Richard Gere. Most of his movies are from way back and I don’t mind watching them over and over. But that’s me. I also enjoy seeing some of my favorite stars when they were younger, Like Natalie Portman for example.


However I still do hope you update your catalogue with updated movies and TV series. I can’t wait to do a marathon of all Harry Potter movies. It’s a good thing you had all episodes of FRIENDS!


Well, that’s that. The past 30 days with you has been a blast. I can’t think of any reason why we shouldn’t continue this relationship.

- HOOQ'd on you

HOOQ, in partnership with Globe Telecom, is the latest online entertainment service that allows you to stream local and foreign movies and TV series online using internet-enabled devices. It is Asia’s first video-on-demand service powered by  Singtel, Sony, and Warner Bros. They have a 30-day trial period so you can give it a try first before actually paying for the service.

HOOQ and Globe Telecom were major sponsors during Cebu Blogging Community’s first year anniversary. I was given a one-month free trial to review the service.
