people are people…and knowing myself makes me know them, too!
There are up’s and down’s; high’s and low’s; good and bad…
BUT no matter what – LIFE GOES ON! Life ‘round me and you!

I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON AND I LOVE THIS SONG...though I'm not particularly sure why I have this tender love for this song. The lyrics is definitely not for girls but the melody is really nice. Maybe it's the singers and that during childhood, I often here this song played by my brother thus giving me some sort of feeling of deja vu.
Listen and here what this is...OR YOU KNOW THIS SONG PERHAPS???

Yes economically we are poor BUT that does not make us insignificant. We may be small, mere islands as compared to continents around the globe BUT that does not make us less proud.
Right now every Filipino is proud to be a Filipino. That yet again we are known all over for the unusual popularity due to characteristics hailed by most that not an individual possess but of all Filipino’s. If before you salute a Filipino, Efren “Bata” Reyes, for being “The Magician” the world of billiards knew, now you will probably raise and flick both hands. If you stood up with the standing ovations given Charisse Pempengco time and again as she gives goose bumps with her powerful voice in Oprah, concert in the Madison Garden or duets with world-class singers like Celine Dion (and almost with legendary Michael Jackson), now you may stood up almost unbelieving of what your eyes beheld. And if “The Best Boxer Ever Lived”, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao amazed you into surrender each bout he wins, this definitely will make you more than amazed at how can such group of individual in such number can be included in every body’s dream of being among Michael Jackson’s dancers!
Your eyes are not deceiving you. These are inmates or prisoners dancing with Michael Jackson’s choreographer (Travis Payne) and back-up dancers (Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid). Prisoners from a maximum prison, Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center of the Visayas region, that are supposed to be undisciplined, unmanageable, selfish, disrespectful or whatever mean thing one can think to describe prisoners. Remember though that they are FILIPINO prisoners. They come from the same lineage of warm, hospitable, striving, hard driven, witty, humble, and talented people. Let us not be the judge to them for being behind bars not knowing if they are just victims of injustice as some really are or guilty and is paying for it as absolution; that is the court’s place to decide. But be the spectator of a creation of art as a by product of brotherhood, unity, obedience, needing to uplift and prove self-worth and unique ability.
This is just one amidst many other performances these inmates have done, and some have focused in remembering and paying respect to legendary pop-icon Michael Jackson. Thanks to YouTube for it has been the path for this chance of sharing with the world such talent. These men are included in the This Is It tribute for our pop idol. A thing to be truly proud of, don’t you think?
Pop icon Michael Jackson NEVER stopped livingeven after his death months ago. His life is being celebrated time and again, just as it is ALL OVER THE WORLD with this tribute given him for the extraordinary career and life he lived; and how he touched many people’s life.
THIS IS IT premiers in theaters world wide that I myself so long to see. To, even just for a few hours, feel again the overpowering magnetism of this one-of-a-kind performer!
HE IS SOMETHING! He is a legend. He is a hero that we missed recognizing while he can still appreciate it, and not when he’s lying cold devoid of senses. Let this be a reminder to us of two important things:
1. Let it not be too late in expressing our love and appreciation. Life is too fragile and too short for us to hold something back for tomorrow. 2. Let our life not be a passing journey on earth. Let our lives be as fruitful as Michael Jackson’s by leaving behind memories that will make us worthy enough to be remembered.
Since June 25th, the feeling of loss is within me. And the memorial service made me gloomy all the more. Michael Jackson was not just a music icon, not just a king of pop…he was larger than life! My tears kept flowing throughout the service, more so with each revelation those close to him shared that is not known to all.
Personally, I salute him for the obvious effort he gave to show people in need that there is someone out there who cares a lot. And in his own special way he reached out. In as much as he can, he gave. That his life (being where he was) was not all fame. He gave a part of that life to charity. He made history with his selfless act of uniting black and whites; he paved a way for the government to reach out more arms to the major population; he gave happiness to children by making possible a little dream to come true with a “Neverland” (of all the billionaires in this world, who ever did think of such and make it happen? No one!); or even as simple as being visible in places individuals flee from in fear of their lives to somehow ease the victim’s pain and loneliness.
