Michael Jackson dies at 50

Michael Jackson, 50, died of cardiac arrest June 25, 2009 in his home in Los Angeles.

The first Michael Jackson song that I heard was the 1972 hit "Ben" (I was born in 1981, ok?) and my all-time top Michael Jackson would be "You Are Not Alone" followed closely by "She's Out of my Life".

Rest in Peace to the King of Pop

Only You Can Love Me This Way

June,

Happy 14th month-sary! So that's a year and two months of patience, hardwork and trust. Hands down talaga ako.

You have an incredible amount of patience when it comes to my 'mood-swings', that's why this song fits perfectly for us.

Yes, I could have turned and looked at some other guy, went to some other place and met someone else. But here we are, still together...getting stronger as days pass by.

"And you're ALWAYS in my HEART, you're always on my MIND
When it ALL becomes too much, you're NEVER far behind"

The first time I heard this song, I thought of you and I cried (since it's my off from work and we're not together that time). I am actually fighting back the tears right this moment. I really am.

And I still do dream that someday we can stroll in the park, hands held tight. And live our dreams, together...

"And there's NO ONE that comes CLOSE to you
Could EVER take your place
'Cause only YOU can LOVE me this way..."

Roms

Jennifer Paige - Always You

In time of the Gay Pride Month, let me share you Jennifer Paige's "Always You" from her 1999 self-titled debut album.

I especially like the Gay Pride Remix by Junior Velasquez, which was used in the music video.

If you're feeling sentimental, try the sultry Ballad Mix and Acoustic Vocal Mix.

Miss California dethroned

Carrie Prejean has been dethroned as Miss California USA for "contract violations," including missing scheduled pageant events.

Isa lang masasabi ko, "Buti nga!"

Taklesa kasi.

During the Q&A portion, Christian beliefs daw eh parents nga niya divorced! And marriage should be between a man and a woman, asan siya ngayon? Punyeta!

Sensya na, di pa rin kasi ako maka-move on sa YouTube account ko. Kaya lahat talaga aawayin ko and I won't give a shit.

Another Reason to Hate ABS-CBN

NOTE: This is the 5th and final revision of this post. I tried hard to edit out as much "putang-ina nila" and "punyeta sila" as I can 'cos I'm really, really mad as hell.

ABS-CBN just deleted my YouTube account because of the Lea Salonga "Promise Me" MYX video that I uploaded last 2007! Pakshet talaga! As if naman yumaman ako sa pag-post ng video na 'yun?

Sana 'yung video na lang 'yung tinanggal, why does it have to be the whole YouTube account?!

3 years worth of uploaded videos, mostly my Weekly Top 7 videos na halos an hour to edit and produce nabura lang lahat!

Of course I created a new account but I'm not sure, I guess I'll be having all uploaded videos viewable up to 25 persons na lang or private na lang siguro.

I've seen some Kapalmucks and Kapamilyucks fans' YouTube accounts got deleted as well when they uploaded those never heard TV sitcoms and low-profiled teleseryes of the EBS TV station. I wonder how it felt to be betrayed by your own. Ewan ko na lang.

If that's the case, I will not be uploading or associate myself or this blog to the TV station anymore. Bakit nga ba kasi i-connect pa ba eh simula't sapol I loathed them.

I would have to change the banner as well. Can somebody please send me any high-res photo of Dingdong Dantes, Dennis Trillo, Aljur Abrenica, Alfred Vargas, JC de Vera or Polo Ravales so I could have them as my banner boy?

Please e-mail them to miong21@gmail.com

Right now I will be having Victor Aliwalas as my banner boy. It will be up tonight.

Bakit ba kasi pinagpipilitan ko pa i-banner boy ang mga punyetang nalalaos na artista ng EBS na yan?! Sus?!

Ang dami ko na ngang problema, tinatamad na nga ako mag-blog dahil feeling ko wala na akong napapala, ganito pa aabutin ko.

Guys, this blog is now at risk. If that TV station was able to delete my YouTube account, ito pa kayang blog ko? Tangina nila.

Now the next time you point your browser to http://miong21.blogspot.com and you receive a message "Blog Not Found", you know who to contact ok? Murahin nyo rin sila.
