When Kurt Cobain took his life a decade or so ago, I was floored. I was driving that day from school and I had to turn to another radio station to verify that I heard the right news. It was tragic. It was a huge loss. I was deeply saddened and angry at him for robbing us a pioneer in the music industry. A week ago, I got a call from P. She was a bit frantic and wanted to find out if it was true . . that something bad happened Michael Jackson. I was online and went browsing for news. Farrah Fawcett just passed away and that was the only headline. I kept refreshing the page to see any breaking news. Then a link came out . . MJ has died but the source was the tabloid medium, TMZ. I clicked the link but nothing was loading except for an hourglass that kept turning for a good 5 minutes. There was heavy traffic causing net congestion . . so it must be serious. I was prepared for the news, and indeed, another great artist has passed. Michael Jackson, dead at 50, from cardiac arrest. I grew up with MJ songs. He was huge in the 80's and 90's along with Madonna. I tried the moonwalk and did the "hih-hih-hihs" and "aaws!". He was such a phenomenon with unparalleled talent. Surely, he had flaws and some people ferociously picked on it. But it never deterred him to create music and entertain us with his talent. It may seem cliche but it is true that only do we realize the grave loss when a great person is gone. A talent like his only comes once in many generations. Michael, you will be missed. But we will forever remember your music, your dance and your passion to entertain. You are indeed the King of Pop and it was such an honor to know your songs, witness your immense talent and be inspired with your humanity. Thank you. No more lying friends Wanting tragic ends Though they do pretend They won't go when I go All those bleeding hearts With sorrows to impart Were right here from the start And they won't go when I go And I'll go where I've longed To go so long Away from tears Gone from painful cries Away from saddened eyes Along with him I'll bide Because they won't go when I go Big men feeling small Weak ones standing tall I will watch them fall They won't go when I go And I'll go where I've longed To go so long Away from tears Unclean minds mislead the pure The innocent will leave for sure For them there is a resting place People sinning just for fun They will never see the sun For they can never show their faces There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who will take more than he will give He ain't hardly gonna give The greed of man will be Far away from me And my soul will be free They won't go when I go Since my soul conceived All that I believe The kingdom I will see 'Cause they won't go when I go When I go Where I'll go No one can keep me From my destiny. |

Dear Kuya Kiko, You defined our generation. You redefined our nation. You gave a beat that shattered the silence of ineptitude and monotony. We marched with our head held high as we sing your songs and search for national identity. We wore the three stars and a sun with pride and joy. For these, we are eternally grateful and appreciate you for being one of the brightest stars that led the way. Salamat, Francis M.  Kaleidoscope World Francis Magalona (1964-2009) So many faces, so many races Different voices, different choices Some are mad, while others laugh Some live alone with no better half Others grieve while others curse And others mourn behind a big black hearse Some are pure and some half-bred Some are sober and some are wasted Some are rich because of fate and Some are poor with no food on their plate Some stand out while others blend Some are fat and stout while some are thin Some are friends and some are foes Some have some while some have most Every color and every hue Is represented by me and you Take a slide in the slope Take a look in the kaleidoscope Spinnin' round, make it twirl In this kaleidoscope world Some are great and some are few Others lie while some tell the truth Some say poems and some do sing Others sing through their guitar strings Some know it all while some act dumb Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum Some can swim while some will sink And some will find their minds and think Others walk while others run You can't talk peace and have a gun Some are hurt and start to cry Don't ask me how don't ask me why Some are friends and some are foes Some have some while some have most Every color and every hue Is represented by me and you Take a slide in the slope Take a look in the kaleidoscope Spinnin' round, make it twirl In this kaleidoscope world Photo taken from http://francismagalona.multiply.com/jou |

Even though I didn't vote for the guy, you have to recognize the historical impact and the excitement of his presidency. When he was sworn in, MLK's dream became a reality. He was different from the homogeneous bunch that took power in the oval office. Barack Hussein Obama. The name itself is so unlike the Smiths and Joneses that were familiar to most Americans but the nation welcomed it like a breathe of fresh air. Yes, he ran on a platform of change. But change takes time. Perhaps, in the hope of all hope, this is a best time to start that change. For change to happen, there must be a return to personal accountability. Then we all hope for the best. God Bless America |

I always thought I can create something similar. I just couldn't get my hand to start it. Enjoy. |

A couple months ago, work sent us out to watch the Tigers lose . . it was another bad season for the team as usual. I didn't go there for the game but to be with my friends. We had awesome seats, right by the Pepsi area. I love taking pictures of these masonic tigers. ( See the Tigers roar! ) |
