February 10, 2010


I’ve read a blog post yesterday about how sometimes you feel bad for someone who’s having problems, and all you’d want to do is help that person but you just can’t. It’s either they don’t want any help at all, or you just can’t help them because you don’t know how. I’ve related myself so much to this post because right now, I’m feeling the exact same thing.

There are times when people want you to mind your own business, or just don’t think about them and just leave them alone. Especially when they’ve got big problems on their shoulders, and they think that they can handle it themselves, and they want to actually handle it themselves because they don’t want to bother other people with their own problems. How big the problem may be, or how bad they might be feeling, they don’t want you feeling bad for them too. It’s like they’re shutting you out because they don’t want to give you something to think about or worry about. Well that sucks, at least for me.

For anyone who’s got friends or loved ones who have problems, the first thing that comes to our minds is how can I help them, or what can I do to help them? How can I at least make them feel better? How can I at least lessen the burdens that they’re carrying, and make them feel that they’re not alone? That there’s someone who wants to help them, who wants to be there for them, and who’s willing to help them. How will I be able to do that from a distance? And how will you be able to help if they’re not even asking for any help?

I know it sounds kind of “makulit” or “usisera” or “mapilit” but I think nobody should handle their problems alone. Or at least, let other people help you in other ways, if you don’t want them meddling with your own problems. Surely you’ve got to figure the solution yourself, but at least let them be there. You don’t have to shut them out, or shut yourself out from them just because you don’t want them feeling bad for you, or worrying about you. You don’t have to be alone because nobody wants to be alone. That’s why you have your friends and family. Talk to them at least, tell them your problems. Don’t hesitate to ask for their help because they are more than willing to help. It’s their job to worry about you and feel bad when you feel bad. It’s their job to make you feel better when you’re feeling down. It’s their job to be there for you at all times, or at least try to be. And at least, let them do their job because they want to do it. Just at least let them be there for you, and remember that they're around you. It might make you feel a whole lot better.

*Look for the missing text :)*

My first post for 2010; and tt's now the 14th day of the year 2010!
How's the new year been treating you so far?
I'm sure everyone's looking forward to what this year has in store for them.
For me, it's still a bit the same, but a bit different as well.
Just like after the holidays, for the previous years, after the holidays we go back to school. But for this year, I go back to work. Big difference right?
Oh well, I hope we all started our year right, and that all of us did enjoy the holidays. Me, my mom and my kuya went to church last January 1st, then we spent the whole day with other members of the family, on my mom's side. We had our family reunion which we always have during the new year. (I think that's why our family is still as strong as ever. :))

Now that it's the year 2010 already, I haven't gone back and looked at how the year 2009 has treated me. I haven't recalled the events that has happened in the year 2009 that has either made me very happy, very sad, excited, angry, or whatever. And now I'm gonna do it, just like what I've always done. It's like a summary report of my year or something. Anyway, here it goes...

JANUARY
What I remember is that I was really looking forward to the year 2009. First and foremost because of all the things in store for me that year. It was the first new year that I celebrated that I have a boyfriend, and I was really excited about that, because we were starting a new year together, and I know a lot of things would happen. Then, we have our graduation, it was pretty exciting but at the same time, it was a bit sad as well. But then there's also the excitement of what is out there once we have graduated. So this time, we were busy with school work, org work, and a lot of other 'work', haha.
New babies! -We had two new babies this year, Elyza and Cody. :)

FEBRUARY
Thesis Defense. -Passed! Though one prof gave us a hard time...pft! Well thanks to our thesis adviser Ma'am Cha, and to our outside support, and of course to my thesismates, Hanami and Joyce. =D
Valentine's Day. -I received my first ever bouquet of flowers, of course from my one and only, :)
ORG work. -We always had ORG work, I think...=D Especially this time, for the Eng'g. Week.
My first kiss. :) ♥
A lot of other school stuff. -SRM project, that we weren't able to submit on time.
(can't remember the other school stuff really, haha)

MARCH
Meet the Parents. -This was a program for the parents of the graduating students, I think this is only in Engineering. There was a parent speaker, a student speaker, and an AVP from each class from a certain course.
Baccalaureate Mass. -So much fun! Mass for the graduating students from the University of Santo Tomas, the walk/parade thru the Arc of the Centuries, party time, and of course, fireworks!
GRADUATION. -March 28, 2009 at the PICC. This was it, what we worked hard for, for 4 years. Although we already did other graduation stuff, the mass, the meet, the reservation and fitting of the toga, the orientation, I really didn't feel the graduation itself yet, not until I was there at the venue, wearing my toga, waiting for my name to be called, and waiting to go up the stage. Kuya also had his graduation, March 26, 2009. :)
Graduation Party. -The time I introduced Ifor to my dad. Not as my boyfriend yet, hahaha. I only told my dad when I got home after the party, and I got a looooot of advices. Then I told my mom the next day, and got another set of advices as well, haha. :)
Unfortunately, one of may dad's brothers died during this month.

APRIL
Nothing much for April, except maybe for the fact that I signed my contract for work during this month. And now I remember, it was during this month that Ifor was able to go to our place while my dad is there. I think it went well. :)
I've been missing school already this time, because I know I won't be going back anymore, with my classmates, school activities and stuff. And we weren't doing the clearance, the pre-sectioning, and the enrollment stuff anymore.

MAY
WORK. -May 4 was my official start date for work. It was supposed to be in April, but I asked if I could just start in May because my dad was still here that time.(April) Hmmm...I was kind of excited, but at the same time nervous. But I was lucky, as well as some of my other classmates, because we were able to find work immediately right after graduating.
Outings. -We had an outing, me and my cousins, during this month. We went to EK and then went to this place for swimming. :) We also had the company outing, during the last weekend of May I think.
New friends. -I've made some new friends! :) Some of the newbies I was with during the start of my training at work. =P
First salary. -I received my first salary of course on the 15th, and of course I treated Ifor, and my mom and kuya I think. Haha.
Half a year. -This was also our 6th month, me and Ifor, and still counting.:)

JUNE
My Birthday! -For the first time, I was the one who had to handle the expenses for my birthday celebration. :) Then I also received a cake from the office, which they always do for the birthday celebrants. I was also able to celebrate my birthday with Ifor. :)
PCD Concert. -The Pussycat Dolls concert! What a way to celebrate our monthsary. June 11, 2009 at the MOA concert grounds. I think this was also both our first concert to attend, and what better way to do it than with each other. :)

JULY
I think there was nothing much for July...or I just really can't remember, hahaha.
Oh, I remember now, this was our 7th month together and I bought the Sudoku board game Ifor had always wanted. :)

AUGUST
Ifor's birthday.:) - I had a really hard time thinking of what to give Ifor for his birthday. So I ended up with two cards, a shirt, and a Paulo coelho book. :) Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to his birthday celebration, because I wasn't allowed to, and because of an unexpected event.
Another unfortunate event, my lola, my last grandparent, passed away this month, really surprising us all.

SEPTEMBER
10th month - We're in double digits! Haha.
Other than that, I can't think of any exciting happenings during this month.

OCTOBER
11th month - We're nearing the 12th month! :)
As well as for this month. Except that during mom's birthday celebration, Ifor was there, because my mom had her birthday celebration during our monthsary. =P

NOVEMBER
11.11.09 - The much awaited date; Our anniversary. Played bowling for the first time together. :) ♥♥♥
Regular - This was also my 6th month in the office, which makes me a regular employee already.

DECEMBER
Yoshi's 1st year - Yoshi is 1 year old as well. :)
Reunions/Trips - Some of our relatives from the States came home for the holidays. Including my cousin, who was a surprise, which we haven't seen for almost 7 years I think. That's why we had a lot of reunions or celebrations and stuff. I also had my first trip at La Mesa Eco Park.
Our first EK trip; me and Ifor. Together with Ate Libay and Bryan.
For the first time, was able to buy gifts from my own money. :) - Once again, had a hard time thinking of gifts for relatives, and for Ifor.
Paskuhan. - We were still able to attend Paskuhan; me, Ifor, and our other college classmates and friends. And this time, it was super bongga! There were a lot of celebrities, and the fireworks were amazing. It was also a kick-off for the countdown of the quadricentennial celebration of UST. Thomasians, we should all watch out for that. :)

Have you noticed something about that summary or whatever?
He's always included in every month, right? Haha.
Well, that's good isn't it, knowing that although we're not able to see each other very often, still he's made his presence felt throughout last year. And besides, he was the latest addition in my life, and he made it more exciting. Or at least I was pretty excited about us, :)
Hopefully it's still gonna be the same for this year, but of course, with a bit of difference. Hopefully we get to see each other more often this year, than that of the last year.

Sadly I lost two relatives, but on the other hand, we also gained two!
Elyza, my niece, and Cody, my second cousin. :)

And of course, I know that there are a lot of other things that I wasn't able to mention here in my blog, but that doesn't mean that they're not of importance. Thanks to everyone who's been a part of my 2009. Hopefully I'll still see you in my 2010. :)

Obviously, here I am, blogging my last blog for 2009.
In a few hours, we''ll all be having our media noche and will be welcoming the year 2010!
I'm sure everyone's hoping for a better year ahead, and that we could all leave the not-so-good happenings for the year 2009.

I haven't been able to blog during Christmas because it was a bit busy, so I'm just gonna do it now. Luckily I was able to file my leaves for this holiday season, because I know that we'll be having a lot of "surprise schedules" or whatever you may want to call 'em for the holidays. Knowing for a fact that my mom's uncle and aunt went here from the States for the holidays, as well as my uncle and cousin. And, well, I was right.

I am proud to say that I have been able to complete the 9 days of the Simbang Gabi. =D
Although i've been going to the anticipated mass at 8pm, still, I was able to complete it. And I'm real happy that I was able to. Also, I am really happy that I was able to go to Paskuhan this year! It was really great, with the fireworks, and all of the other stars there, and the performances. I'm glad I didn't miss it, and I was able to see some of my classmates again! =D
Then last December 22, my mom and I fetched my uncle and cousin from the airport, and then bit by bit they surprised everyone, because only my aunt and my mom knew that they were gonna be spending the holidays here. Then on December 23, I had to do a super last minute shopping for my shoes and Ifor's gift. We also had a surprise birthday treat for my cousin that day. (her birthday was on December 22) Then on the 24th, we prepared for noche buena, then we had some Christmas eve shots together with the other members of the family. December 25th, we went to Pasay where we spent the whole Christmas day with the whole family on my mom's side, and with lots of fooooood. We went on the afternoon of the 25th to MOA, to do some girl bonding-slash-shopping, which was soooooo crowded, and luckily we were able to survive the mob of people there. I think I'm never going back there during Christmas day. Not unless we really need to.

December 26th was our rest day, then on the 27th, we had our family reunion, my mom and her siblings together with our cousins had lunch at home then we went to Manila Memorial Park because it was our lola's birthday. We spent the afternoon there and went straight to MOA (again) to have our dinner at Gilligan's. Then after dinner, we went around the mall, which has lesser people, and finally went home. The 28th and 29th were both supposed-to-be rest days in preparation for new year, but I went with my aunt and uncles and cousins to La Mesa Eco Park. The park was really nice, it was a nice day to just roam around and hang out, but it was tiring. Then we went to Greenhills, and Eastwood, and then went home. There's a lot more pending activities for us together with our cousin, we haven't even had our night out yet, haha.

Yesterday, the 30th, Ifor and I were finally able to see each other! The last time we saw each other was on the 20th of December, he accompanied me to MOA because I needed to buy some stuff, then because we were both busy during the holidays, we didn't know how we were to meet up. Finally, we were both free yesterday, so he went here at home, then I was finally able to give him his gift-polvoron and a headset/earphones. Luckily he agreed to come here, if not, then we were just to see each other after new year for sure. I really missed him, so I was really excited when he told me that he was to come here yesterday.
I hope 2010 will really be good for us, not just for our relationship, but for each of us as well. He'll be graduating this March, and hopefully he finds a good job after graduation, because I know he has a lot of responsibilities coming, and his dreams, most especially for his family. (hopefully i'm included...hahaha!)

We also had the family reunion on my dad's side, so we went to Bulacan to have dinner with family, and spend some time together. Then today, the 31st, I had my haircut with my mom this morning, and we bought some other stuff for later. New look for the new year, haha. I hope we'll have a good time spending new year's eve and eating the food for media noche. I even bought some fireworks for later, which I hope will be nice. And there's vodka! hahaha...

Well, this is my last blog for 2009.
Farewell 2009, Welcome 2010!
I hope we all have a whole lot better year ahead of us all. =)

okay, it's December already, and I just thought i'd do an end-of-the-year-slash-December blog or something..or that's just my excuse for just wanting to blog..=D

Today's December4, 21 days before christmas, 27 days before 2010! Can you imagine that, it seems like last week was just February, we were awaiting our thesis defense, the other day was just March and we were having our Baccalaureate Mass, and yesterady was just May and I was just starting with work. And now we're approaching a new year. Woah. Talk about fast!

But really, things have been different since I started working. I think I'm starting to understand what they say that you tend to age early or immediately when you are working. Because when you're working, or at work, time flies sooo fast. (especially when you're counting the hours/minutes to your time out) As in really fast, sometimes you'll just be surprised that the weekend's over already, and you have to work again, and then suddenly it's Friday already again. It's just so different. But I'm still missing a lot. Stuff I or we were able to do when we were still inside the UST campus.

One example is the feel of the holiday season. Compared to when I was still studying, I think it's only November but I could already feel the holiday season. That is, at school. Because you can see the maintenance people setting up the big christmas tree at the main field, or you could see them setting up lights on the trees along the lovers' lane, or they're already putting up decorations on the main building. And after classes when you walk around the campus at night, you could really feel the cool air. And you hear about christmas parties, or some other preparations for christmas activities and stuff from a lot of people around the campus or even just within our College. Compared here in our place of work, the preparations are different, simple, and there are really not that many christmas decorations outside. And yes I could still feel the cool air but I couldn't enjoy it. So see, it's just so different and how I wish I could at least still go around the campus with all the lights and christmas decorations, and even on my way home, I see a lot of lights and decorations, especially in Manila. And I'm looking forward to spending some time at night aroung the UST campus once again, before they remove the christmas decorations, haha. I just miss it. :)

We don't have christmas decorations at home yet, though kuya already set up the capiz parol outside. I hope we could put up the christmas tree at least before Simbang Gabi starts. Simbang Gabi starts on the 16th right? (15th for the anticipated mass.) Have you completed those 9 masses ever? I have, before, and I hope I could complete it again this time, just because I'd want to. It's just a different feeling when you're able to complete all the 9 masses, never mind the wish, hahaha. And I think I'll try to attend some of the masses sa madaling araw talaga, I miss going home after mass and eating newly cooked puto bumbong and bibingka for breakfast, yumyum! =D

Oh and another thing that I miss is the long holiday, I don't think it's gonna be like that here at work, or at least I could do that but I have to file my leaves pa, haha. And the Paskuhan, I don't know if I'll be able to go to this year's Paskuhan, but I do hope that I can, together with my friends and/or classmates of course. =D I'm missing a lot! Hahaha. I'm planning to buy a journal/planner. I just haven't chosen yet between the Belle de jour (not sure with the spelling, please bear with me) or the one from freespeech publications or something. The one with the "This journal will actually change someone's life!" or something. I think the Starbucks planner is just too formal for me, and besides, I'd have to spend a lot and take in a lot of calories just to be able to get that planner. =P Help me choose! Hahaha. I have to buy a planner/journal before christmas at least, baka maubusan ako, and of course i have to have that before the year ends! =P

P.S.
Regarding my previous blog, I wasn't able to go with my college friends last Saturday, we had to practice for our performance for the office christmas party on the 11th. Sayang, i hope there's still a next time. Goodness, i hope we'll do good on our performance, i'm nervous, i don't wanna mess up, hahaha.

P.P.S.
This is not an end-of-the-year blog pala, just a December blog maybe. I haven't summarized my 2009 yet e. =P

I wish I could just blog more often. But then...oh well, at least I could still blog from time to time. =))

Last Saturday, November 21, I went to Eastwood with some of my closest friends from college. That was the first time I was able to go out with them again after college. And that was the first time that I saw some of them since our graduation last March. HAHAHA. I know, ang tagal na nun!

The real purpose of that gala was to surprise Angeli. It's actually her despedida. The original plan was to watch New Moon then she will treat us or something, for her despedida nga. But since no one confirmed if they are available for Saturday, she thought that hindi na matutuloy. But Joyce thought that we could just surprise her. Fortunately, almost all of us were available that Saturday, and we were able to give Angeli a good surprise! It's so nice to surprise somebody and see that they really were surprised, hahaha.

We ate first, then decided to play sa Timezone after strolling around the new Eastwood mall, then nag-Videoke din. Inubos lang yung card sa timezone then we went home na rin. Napagod kami lahat dun sa last na nilaro namin, I can't remember what's it called, basta yung may binabato ka. And ang dami na naming bumabato, but na-fail pa rin kami ng dalawang beses, hahaha.

This Saturday, we will be watching New Moon daw, sana payagan ako, haha, because I really enjoyed their company again last Saturday, and I'm sure mag-e-enjoy din kami this coming Saturday. =D And we still have one more Timezone card para ubusin, hahaha...

*i'm looking forward to seeing my other college classmates as well! sana matuloy yung christmas party, =D*

I’ve waited 365 days for this day to arrive. It has been exactly one year that we, Ifor and I, have been together.

Very much unbelievable; very much incredible; that’s all that I can say. The way I felt when I realized that we were approaching the celebration of our first year together, the celebration of my first anniversary ever, I just couldn’t explain how excited I was. I never even thought about it that way, that we were to spend our first anniversary together like that. My first anniversary with my first ever boyfriend, my first ever relationship. I felt that we were so happy together during the past months, days, weeks, and I really couldn’t ask for anything more. We’ve shared a lot together already, and I know that there are still more to come. But I couldn’t help but notice that at least, in our first year together, we didn’t have any big problems at all. We enjoyed each other’s company, knew and learned new stuff about each other. We had some misunderstandings, some sort of petty quarrels and stuff but I think that’s normal in a relationship. But no big difficulties or whatsoever. And we’re very, very much thankful for that.

We talked about what we were going to do to celebrate our first anniversary. Of course it has to be special. It’s our day! We decided to play Bowling since it’s something that we always talked about, and that we haven't tried together. Ifor plays Bowling, though they do the duckpin instead of the 10-pin. And I told him that he should try the 10-pin sometime, and so we decided to do it during our anniversary; to be able to do something different, something we haven't done before together, something unforgettable. We met here at the office, and then we went straight to MOA and did our usual activities whenever we go there. We ate, talked about stuff, about us, about our anniversary, played arcade, and then we did the highlight of the day.

The first time we played, I think only 3 or 4 lanes were being used, so there weren’t really a lot of people. I have played 10-pin before but I’m really not that good. I just play, that’s it. He was pretty excited because it’s his first time playing 10-pin and I was excited because the last time I was able to play Bowling was last April. During the first game, he won, 91-85. At least it was a close fight! Hahaha. While we were playing, we gave each other our gifts. I gave him some homemade pastillas, which I personally did, as well as a letter. I couldn’t think of anything else to give him but I wanted it to be special and with a personal touch. It was supposed to be the scrap book, but I wasn’t able to do it. Then he gave me a card with a pop-up picture of 12 Hershey’s kisses which he personally did, which was really, really nice, and a CD with 12 songs in it. He was really worried because he couldn’t give me anything much more than the card and the CD but it really didn’t matter. Actually, those were the sweetest gifts he ever gave me because it had his own personal touch. And I like personalized gifts.

Then we took a little break, we walked around, played arcade where for the first time, we had a tie when we played air hockey, 4-4. Though some of the goals weren't counted, and technically I still won, but still, the score's a tie, haha. When we got back to the Bowling center, there were more people this time. He was sort of frustrated about his performance during the first game we had and he needed to make a comeback, or something like that, and we were both bitin with the first game, so we had a rematch. I really didn’t play well the second time, hahaha. But he did! His score was 161. And mine? 61. HAHAHA. E kasi naman, he had three strikes na magkakasunod, and I had one. Hahaha. Then after the game, I was hungry already so we looked for something to eat and after dinner, we went our separate ways again, we went home. (He didn’t forget his promise this time!)

I really didn’t want the day to end anymore. I was having so much fun, and I was enjoying myself with him. Even though we were only doing much of the same stuff that we are doing whenever we see each other, it really didn’t matter. It’s our day, it’s our anniversary, we’re together, and I think that’s all that matters. When I arrived home I wanted to immediately listen to the CD that he gave me because I was so curious of what songs are in that CD. There wasn’t a list included or anything so I really had to listen to the CD to be able to know the songs included in it. I didn’t finish the songs anymore because that was already kind of late, I just wanted to know really what the songs are. First song pa lang, it made me smile already. Kilig! Seriously! Hahaha. I mean, coming from him, and knowing that all the songs are for me, it was really sweet. The card was supposed to be the inlet for the CD, kaso it didn’t fit anymore so he didn’t put it anymore. (In the front of the card, it was written, ‘All for you’) I just smiled the whole time that I was playing the CD and I felt like my heart’s melting or something. Then after I listened to the songs, I went straight to bed and guess what…I cried! Can you imagine how happy I was feeling at that time! This is the first time ever that it’s happened to me, crying tears of joy. It felt weird actually, because I was smiling all the while and then I just cried. Hahaha.

But I never thought that it could actually happen to me. Or at least that he could do it, or at least that it would happen at that time. It was just a different experience for me and thanks to him! He didn’t need to do anything super special or super bongga to make me feel like that. Now I’m looking forward to all that could still happen and all that we could still share together.

*if you haven't watched the movie yet, I warn you, there might be some spoilers for you in this post...*


We were able to watch Michael Jackson's This is it yesterday on its first showing day. Of course a lot of people waited for this movie, and I say, it is really worth watching. Just like other MJ concerts, opening pa lang bongga na. The lightings for the opening of the concert were amazing. Of course his performances here were really not super energetic, but what the hell, I didn't care, this is MJ performing, and even though it was just their rehearsals, still I enjoyed watching him perform. He still gave it all though, and his moves were still the same and he sang his songs just like how he had sung them before. All I could do while watching the movie was to smile. If I could only dance or yell inside the movie house, I would. But everyone else inside the movie house was so focused when the movie started, and everyone was real quiet, paying much attention to the movie. It was really great seeing him perform after so many years that he wasn't able to, even if it wasn't even live or in a real concert.

I thought that the people with him during their rehearsals, his dancers, back-up singers,
those included in the band, and all the people in their rehearsal area were really lucky.
They were able to spend time with Michael before he passed away. (If he really did?) They
were able to get a feel how to work with him, and I’m sure they were able to know him a bit more than just the Michael Jackson that they see on the television. And it makes me think, why did he really die? I mean, what's the real cause?? Because if you would watch or have watched the movie, you will see how great he was while onstage. He was always energetic. You wouldn't see a hint that he was so exhausted already. He just continued to rehearse and rehearse. He performed like there were real audiences watching him. He still had his moves, his signature moves, and it shows how much he is enjoying what he's doing and how excited he is for the concert. Even if he had Kenny Ortega, or the other people working with him for the concert, he was hands on. He wanted the best for the concert, and he wanted it the way he used to do it. He wanted it perfect. The sounds, the choreography, the lights, everything. He wanted his fans to enjoy and have the time of their lives when they watch the concert. (Kahit rehearsals pa nga lang nag-enjoy na yung mga dancers niya while watching, what more if it was on an actual concert.) And while watching him perform, I felt envious of the people he was always with. I wanted to be there too. I felt like I wanted to hug him or something, coz he was so great. Maybe that's how his super avid fans felt, although on a much more intense level. But I also had mixed feelings, I wanted to feel bad for him because of what happened to him, but then I was feeling glad because the This is it movie was really great, and I was with my best guy, ha-ha.

He sang some of his most famous songs. Billie Jean, Beat it, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Jam, They don't really care about us, I just can't stop loving you, Earth song, Man in the mirror, Black or white, and many more, and even some Jackson 5 songs. (I can't remember the other songs, what did I miss?) And they had the original choreographies of course, as well as the original narration from the Thriller and the creepy laugh, which made it more exciting, like a blast from the past. Michael still wanted it old school, like how it used to be. They shot some short films (like what was in his music videos) for Smooth Criminal, Thriller, and Earth song. It was really great, and the set for the concert was really amazing. They had a really big stage, and like they wanted to relive his concerts before, they had the part where Michael was riding the cherry picker or whatever that was called. If you've watched some of his concerts, you will see that, the part where he was standing on something like a scaffolding and it was moved over the audience, and there was wind under it. It was so cool seeing how they were doing it again. They even showed in the movie the part where Michael was singing the Earth song, and how a bulldozer would enter the stage and how it looked like it was going to eat Michael but it stopped just right behind him. It was wild, but it shows how much planning they've put into it, and how much they really wanted to give everyone an amazing concert, something like they've never seen before. While they were doing everything, the rehearsals, the shoots, you could also see that Michael was really enjoying, and that everyone wanted to do all that they can to contribute and help to make the perfect concert for Michael Jackson. And Michael, on the other hand, was also helping in a way by correcting everyone and telling them to do this, and that, so that it would be better, and in a very nice way. Great artist, great, great person, really.

At the end of the movie while the credits were rolling, his newly released song, This is
it, was playing. It was a nice song, and it would've been nice if he was able to perform it
for his fans, live. Super sayang. Super. I wish I were able to enjoy his music while he was
still alive. Well, I enjoyed some of it, but now I feel like I miss him. Like I missed a
lot now that he is gone. It's just now that I’m really seeing just how much of an
incredible artist he really is, nobody could take that away from him, even if they say that
he is very much eccentric or weird, he still is and will always be Michael Jackson. The
artist who gave us a lot of number one hits, the artist who started out so young and yet he
was able to survive his career and music for so many years, the artist who had so many
different ideas for all his music videos making them very enjoyable and very unique. I
couldn't say anything more.

Michael Jackson is one of a kind. Not just a great artist, but a very remarkable and enjoyable person as well. He was always for the love. He wanted the best for his fans, for everyone. It would've been a huge comeback for him, that concert. But, all we could enjoy right now are the rehearsals for the concert that will never be. At least they were able to shoot some parts of the rehearsals for the concert, it's something worth watching, kahit paulit-ulit, I would never get tired watching it. And kahit paulit-ulit din ako makinig sa songs niya, I would also never get tired listening to them. But whenever I see him dance, or hear him sing, all I could wish for is just, hay, how I wish he was still alive. So I advice you guys, go, watch the movie, you won't regret it. =D

*I still got hangover from the movie...listening to Michael's songs while writing this
blog...that's how much I enjoyed watching it...=))*
