Tied a yellow ribbon on our nangka tree.

It was an Aug. 1. and i was at school receiving a text message from a friend when that happened. On the evening of that day, we had to go to a party. It was there they shot out 8 consecutive canon blows on 5:00pm. Those shots and us being silently sympathetic of a nation's loss was evident.

Goodbye dear Pres. Cort Aquino, after watching that wake and funeral, even if it's just on live feed, it was simply moving and spectacular to see that we're united after what an Asian democratic leader has done to have all of us one again. And now in the midst of her death, i know that there's that wee bit of hope that bounds us one.

permanent goodbye.

I was only preparing to what I thought would be a normal day. And BAAAANNNNGGGG! out comes a torpedo of sad news.

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation. -Yahoo! News

A permanent goodbye to a legend. I was a big fan of his music. I remember our family watching a Thriller DVD concert together. We enjoyed his dancing and music. I never was really into the drama of his alleged molestation days and everything else after that.

My parents have the album of the Jackson 5. I owned it as if it was mine and loved their music. 70's were much more pure in the music that time. I'm not a BIG BIG fan, but i'm a fan. period.

And here are his kids, unmasked. Credits to TMZ.
