MICHAEL JACKSON

I CANNOT EFFIN BELIEVE I DID NOT STAY UP LATE TO WATCH MICHAEL JACKSON'S MEMORIAL.

I really didn't expect (how stupid, I know) that it's gonna be THIS BIG. Now I have to satisfy myself with excerpts on the news. 

AND OMG NAIIYAK AKO SA MGA CLIPS. Grabeeeeeh. I super wanna watch the whooole memorial. I hope someone uploads a torrent of this one.

I remember in grade school, I danced ballet to the tune of Heal the World during our foundation day. Oh san ka pa diba? hahaha Yes, I used to dance ballet. hehe

Michael's death proved to me that we never really see someone's worth until he's gone. I took his existence for granted. But I think it was mainly because I didn't grow up during his super peak years. I mean, when I gained consciousness in this world, he was already filled with controversies so I had no idea how phenomenal he was.

I only found out when he died that the songs I've been singing in my younger years were his original songs. I didn't know Smooth Criminal was his song. I thought it was Red Hot Chili Pepper's original. I thought I'll be there is Mariah's song tapos ka duet si Michael. Baliktad pala. Jackson 5 pala ang original.

 

There are so many things I didn't and will never know about him. But no matter how crazy the controversies about MJ, I believe that the real Michael is still the good father that Paris and her brothers had and the great singer whose songs will forever live and even surpass this generation.

Rest in peace Michael.
