crying again after a long time...

Last Sunday around noon, as i was scanning the channels for something to watch I accidentally got on a local station here where the artists paid tribute to Francis M.'s legacy.

Four of the most acclaimed singers sang one Francis M.'s most played song : Kaleidoscope World. And these are the lyrics:

Kaleidoscope World

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

We can easily see what he wants to say with his song (and with his other songs as well). He wants everyone to have equality, to help each other, to live better through a good interpersonal relationship.

As they started singing the song, tears easily flowed on my pale cheeks. I can't help but cry. Even though I only knew him as an artist and a showbiz personality, I just can't accept the fact that he was gone. He was such a great man.

In fact, this family opened his wake to the public so his fans can see him for the last time. But I'm glad to know that Pia, his wife, is showing a picture of strength for their children despite it all.

Another thing that showed how Francis was much loved by the music industry was that, even MTV made a their logo dedicated to him.

It was still a very sad moment.
He will be cremated this day, March 11, 2009.

the death of a star - Francis M.

...while in this school library about an hour ago, i received a text from my blocmate which really shocked me...Francis Magalona is dead..

i didn't know if i woulds believe this one until i received another message.

O-My-God!

my mind was unsettled.
my heart began to race.

i can't absorb the news - or i just don't want to take it.

for another moment, we lost a great star in the showbiz industry - the master rapper; an epitome of kindness and courage... he is an ideal model for the youth and all; a responsible father and a loving husband; a friend you can run to; someone who treats you as his equal; he was the one who bridged many people's dreams. he is a picture of hope and he shares this character to everyone - even in the distance. he is a person of wit and good personality - one of the best in the Filipino scene.

he even made his own mark with the brand - 3 stars and a sun, from the Philippine flag- which is dedicated for the refueling of the nationalistic flames in the heart of each Filipino.

after being diagnosed with leukemia, he readily had his treatment sessions with the guiding support from his family, friends and millions of supporters...in fact, many of them even donated their blood for him.

i thought he was recovering. they even planned to have a collaboration between him and ely buendia and i was so excited about this.

this is a really, really sad day not just for me but for the entire country. sure thing the Philippines is praying for him and his family.

I'm also praying that he may rest in peace and now live in the kingdom of our Heavenly Father. he deserves to be there, he always has.

microeconomics exam....so bloody difficult! da*n...

...oh my gosh..
i think i wanted to collapse...

our 3rd long exam in microeconomics really drained me...
we started the exam by 10:00 am and we extended till 12:35pm..
my tummy really growled so loud..
good thing we sat one seat apart...

pathetic...
i wanted to pass my test answers early, even before 12 noon...
i can't answer the latter part of the exam..

the first ones were so easy - i think some sort of a give-away...
but the last part exhausted all my remaining energy...
i don't want to think about it now...
i'll just do better next time...

hate blood tests!

i had my 2nd day of check-up yesterday. the cute nurse tried to get my BP four times and got the reading of 90/70 compared to 70/50 the other day.
the doctor suggested me to have a blood test to see if i have problems like being anemic or so. i am not afraid of needles but i can't endure pain (especially medical ones) and i believe the two seemed top be synonymous now.

i'd prefer to get an injection than for them to take even the least amount of blood from the weak veins,,,,oh, i think i would prefer to be anemic than to gut by blood sucked...,
what mess am i on??
