tribute to a megastar

this maybe my first entry with honest words and direct title to match.
i woke up early today to send my dad to work.
and what a shock to hear that the king of pop died this morning.
the media reported that not much is known of how or what he really died of though some made claims that it was due to complications of the heart.
God knows if that's the truth.

Jackson was great.
he wasn't called The King for nothing.
who cares if he had some scandals which branded him a 'maniac', a 'whacko' a 'freak'?
the fact remains - he was, and will always be one of the unrivaled best.
and there was never a concrete proof anyway to support what they claimed he was.

being a legendary crowd-pleaser, michael had scores of supporters.
news of his death jolted hundreds to rush to the hospital where michael was rushed to.
the news was also broadcast on a screen in New York's Times Square where many more broke into sudden moan and tears.

few months back (probably later than most people), i found out that he was converting (or has converted) to Islam.
many have thrown claims that it was nothing more than another publicity stunt.

but again, who are we to judge?
we should wish for him the best if its true, and if not, then for sure he has touched many hearts and inspired many young minds even before.

a great man goes but everything he was great for will forever stay.
Michael Jackson will always be in the heart of those who have learned to love him.
may he rest in peace.

"dont let nobody take you down

just keep your eyes on the prize
and get your feet back on the ground
keep the faith, baby yea
because it's just a matter of time
before your confidence will win out
but till that day i said, you've got to keep the faith"
- Michael Jackson, 1958 - 2009 -

honesty of a big fat liar

"you can't give up,
looking for diamond in the rough..
you never know when it shows off..
make sure you're holding on..
cause it could be the one,
the one you're waiting on"

and so we are lost in a maze of our own twisted thoughts;
confused by our own feelings that we were so sure of a while back..

oh why is it so hard to answer to ourselves?
contemplating between reasons of the head or feelings of the heart..
weighing what is there to be gained and what will be lost..

let it go if; there's no one at the other end..
hang up; if nobody's listening..
fade out; if noone's watching..
but stop and think; if it means a whole lot more..
or is it of zero meaning to you?

by all means, wait if you must;
but never put up anything in exchange for what is vague..
unless you're so sure of the morning sun rising again;
and never burns you forever more..
for if it's meant to be, then it's worth the wait;
and only He knows best of 'what's and 'when's.


p/s: from a friend to a friend

it's 3 feet above my grasp!

"oh it's been ages since we've really been honest..
but i can make changes if you really want this"

who are we to judge?
are we ones who never make mistakes?
for mistakes are mere proof of our trials;
and those who make little mistakes, make little tries at life..

abandoned are hopes;
when we only criticize and not advise;
talk and not act;
point and not aid..

are you a doctor?

"so maybe i'll keep my mouth shut..
at least until you kiss me again"

boy: see those stars, darling?

girl: yeah, they're beautiful..

boy: for you, i'll stretch my arms to the grab the shiniest of all the stars

girl: you'd do that?

boy: only for you my dear..

girl: then do it now..

boy: *gulp*

ever been in that situation? if yes, then maybe you should stop using silly metaphors to show your romantic side..

if no and you're waiting for the right time to utilize your metaphors, try NEVER..

this just ain't the days brother!hahaha
