The King of Pop is Dead

Another music icon died and he's no ordinary icon. He's the King of Pop Michael Jackson. The reason of his death is yet to be established. Investigations will take place. As for now, the whole world mourns his untimely demise.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's music. My brother was a huge fan and he had tapes of his albums. I began to like his songs as wells especially the ones that I can dance to. His moves are truly incredible. Who could forget "The Moonwalk"?! He danced like he was giving his soul. Through the years, I have shared this fondness with my bestfriend Lei and we seemed to know all his songs. I am not a very huge fan. I don't cry or will cry in his presence like the other fans that even faint at the sight of him. In fact I don't own any of his albums. It's just that Lei and I know that when we hear his song on the radio we won't be turning it off or change it to another station. We'd just listen. Sometimes sing along or if there's a space dance a bit. And every Friday, we make a conscious effort to listen to Magic Madness because we're sure we'd hear his songs.

There had been many controversies that had hounded him, even his appearance has been a constant topic. I am not affected by those. I don't like what he did in the,whether they are true or not. I just know he's a music genius and he's a big loss.

25 Random Things Part Two

My friend said that 25 random things about me were not enough. She said I needed to add 25 more. Since I've got nothing to do today, here's another set:

1. I enjoy watching cooking shows, especially the baking part.
   
2. I don't talk much in the morning when I wake up.
   
3. I used to have a small aquarium and I named the fishes: Rico, Dominic, Marvin and Vanness. The first one that died was Marvin, followed by Vanness, then Dominic and last was Rico. How did I know that order of death even though they all looked alike? I just know that Rico would (should) be the last to go.
   
4. I was an Atenean for one sem. I took a graduate course and enrolled in a three-unit subject. Then tinamad na ko because my class was every Friday night and I thought I should be having fun with my friends instead.
   
5. I don't like pink but my room color is pink.
   
6. I'm currently addicted to the computer game "Bejeweled Deluxe". As in walang tulugan.
   
7. I hope one day I can dance on stage with Gary V.
   
8. I comb/brush my hair once a day. That's after taking a bath.

12. I think I have a small urinary bladder. There are times that I pee like there's no tomorrow.
