Gone Too Soon

It's been over a month since Michael Jackson has died, which I am very saddened about. Since then even more conspiracy has surfaced: "Who will have the guardian ship of his kids?", "Did he really have vitiligo?", "Was he the biological father of his 3 children?", "Who is Omer Bhatti?", "Jordy Chandler has confessed 'I lied'.", "Where is Michael's body?", "What really killed him and/or WHO?", and there's lots more...

People still haven't left him alone, even in his death. A lot are going around saying he was a paedophile, a skin-changing monster, and many more. Those type of things being said about him really bother me. It's crazy, people are now targeting him in their jokes even more. I won't even mention the jokes because it hurts to even say, god I can't actually post them on my blog! But there have been many great fans, doing all sort of tributes or just simply recognizing all the good things that he has done. So I congratulate them also. Whether they were fans ever since they could remember or just recently. But an even bigger 'thanks' goes out to those fans who have defended him for the whole time and knew that he was innocent and encouraged him throughout everything.

Yes, I might be a little hypocritical about the situation. I've been a bigger and a better fan after his death more than I have been during his life. I'm sorry, okay!? But sometimes you don't realize things until they are gone. Though I really don't remember making fun of him and believing that he was a child molester. I was too young to really make up my mind or even know. I've been told that it's been reported that he bleached himself and that he underwent many plastic surgeries, that's really all that I could know. But I also knew his music and his dancing and how much he has not only contributed to the entertainment world but to the world itself. He donated to many charities. He even wanted to adopt two kids (a girl and a boy) from each continent, he wanted to adopt twenty different children around the world and give them all the love that they needed, but of course that couldn't happen when the lawsuits came in to charge him for something he didn't do.

I don't buy it that he has done anything inappropriate to those kids. If he really did he wouldn't say that "It's okay to share your bed with children..." no actual child molester would say that! Sure it sounds a little weird, if just any other 43 year-old man came and said "let me share my bed with you", it would creep me out. But Michael was too good to do such thing to children. I don't know what it was about Michael, I think you could trust him and you could really hear it in his voice which was very soft, almost childlike.

He had to compensate, as he always said, for the childhood that he practically never had. At such a young age, perhaps when he was eight, he and his four brothers (aka the Jackson 5) were beaten on the way to fame by their father Joe Jackson, who refuses of doing so. Shame on him, it's one of the reasons Michael died. He felt lonely and tired of all the pressure. Even more pressure has been brought on his shoulders for the "This Is It" 50 dates tour.

Now maybe the kids weren't biologically his, but he truly loved them and that's what matters most. I think we shouldn't throw things at Debbie Rowe anymore, since Michael has said it himself "My children were a gift to me from her. She knew that I wanted children," but now she's tried to step up, so she'll at least get visits to Prince and Paris. Blanket? It's been speculating that Omer Bhatti's mother is the surrogate mother of Blanket. To be honest I can't say that I'm a 100% sure that all three kids are biologically his but I'm actually more sure that Blanket is his than the other two. And Omer Bhatti? I don't even want to go into that, really I don't know. I mean Michael would have to put him into his will.

I remember when I was 5, I saw his video clip for "You Rock My World" god! I was amazed, I had got a celebrity crush on Michael Jackson. It was so weird, each time the video came on someone was in the room, so I couldn't react, I tried to keep a straight face on. Haha. But the crush didn't last for too long, the video was rarely shown, so I moved on?

Lately, I've been really inspired by his performances, stage movements and everything. It's hard not to dance to his music or try and imitate one of his moves during dancing.

We've really lost someone! I know that we should have just as much of respect and sympathy for any deceased person so I really hope that their souls are doing fine like the numerous people who have died in wars, or died of hunger and had no where to live, or from diseases, or from comminting suicides, too.

This post is dedicated to all the great people that have lived. Michael Jackson's one of them.

Rest In Peace

1958 - 2009

But some say "1958 - forever"

PS.: If you really disagree, I don't want to hear it.

Has anyone noticed?

That the three main judges from three different American talent (either singing or dancing or both plus more) shows are British and mean. Although it's certainly a "DUH!" thing that Simon Cowell definitely deserves the "Most painful judge" award out of the three. But I'll admit that he's softening up and starting to smile more. I think they all are starting to get a bit more sympathetic. Actually that's probably too big of a word for them but I'm hoping that you get the point.

Sometimes I do enjoy their judging though. Like Nigel Lythgoe this season on SYTYCD is a joy, so far. Not too many of those memorably heartbreaking comments from him up to this date from the start of season 5. Let's hope that he can keep it up.

The Confessions of a Shopaholic

Just saying, if you want to watch this movie, don't watch it on the Internet. I've tried watching this movie with a friend and then later by myself and I just couldn't wait for it to be done. When I start watching a movie and try to give it a chance and then it gets to the middle, I must finish it. Well, that's how I feel.

It was quite boring to watch (especially on the Internet, knowing that you're sitting there in front of a computer screen watching something that almost puts you to sleep is horrible). The quality was bad because someone had video taped at the movie theatres. So, sometimes you see these people walking by or something like that. And the sound is horrible.

I'm sure that the movie is much better than that. Especially if you just rented the DVD and watched it on a Friday night, let's say. But I couldn't wait, I had to watch the movie. The illegal video taped copy was the only one out there.


But there were still some good parts. I'm not really sure why I didn't like it that much. Maybe it was the movie itself or the quality... I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch it but it's probably best for you to wait until the DVD comes out and then maybe rent it. (Or maybe it's already out?)

Am I a Whistler, Yet?

Yes, yes, fortunately I am.

Well, not completely but I'm definitely getting there. I hadn't googled "How to whistle" since the last time I've posted about whistling in my blog. So, I've decided to give it another chance by trying out different sites. Two links with whistling-help have been visited by me just a few minutes ago:

• The first one in a way helped, but it told me to press my tongue against the roof of my mouth. It worked at first but then it was too uncomfortable.
• The second link, I give credit. I think the steps were more precise and helpful it gave me a choice between pressing my tongue against the roof and/or pressing it against my gums or the back of my bottom teeth.

So you probably guessed right: the second option worked for me much better than the first one.

Now I'm not saying that I'm a pro or even good because every once in a while when I try it's either off or it's just air that's blowing. I could show you in person or on the phone. I'm new at this so it'll take time. Probably lots and lots of time.

They were both associated with wikiHow. I'm going to try to give out less URLs/links because that might've been the case that my previous blog got deleted.

Note: This post is a reply to my second post from this blog.

The 3rd Class Meal

Bread and butter, that is.

I'm not really sure if you could even consider it a meal. No, actually I don't know what I was thinking. (It's 11:48 PM and I'm sort of going out of my mind). It is not a meal. Even though it might be for the low class citizens, it shouldn't be.

Now, I don't come from the high class side. I don't think I've ever been on a coach side of the plain. I don't take vacations each summer. I don't eat in restaurants everyday. I don't wear designer clothes. I don't even live in a house.

I'd call myself a 2nd class passenger. Hm, that sort of sounds poor because all I can imagine is the Titanic and they weren't treated as nicely either. Maybe because I said passenger. I think middle class sounds better. At least to me it does.

Okay, anyway I'm supposed to be talking about bread and butter. So, the point of this post was: I like it. I hate jumping to the main point so fast so I'm going to need to type more..

Bread and butter is usually something that people eat when they're hungry and trying to fill themselves up because there's nothing else to eat unless you'd like to surf the trash or eat a rat. Uh, that's getting quite creepy.

So, people sort of look at bread and butter as if it were a trash can or something. I really like it. Sometimes I'd have it with my soup or as toast. It's understandable when people who have been eating only bread and butter for a long time will eventually get sick of it.

I really don't know where I'm going with this. I really wish that I had written this earlier or just tomorrow in the morning because I'm not really sure what I'm trying to get across. But anyway, I won't erase.

Eat My Shorts!

Here's a long sleeve shirt I begged my mom to give me about 6 years ago. It was actually a birthday gift for her pretty skinny friend (without any offense), she was sort of a fan I guess. But so was I, so I told my mom that I really liked it and I wanted it. She smiled and said "No" at first (I think) but she ended up giving it to me anyway.

Unfortunately, since last year, the shirt no longer fits me.

In grade 5, I wore this to school once and then my teacher called me out of class and said "Put your sweater back on and do not wear this school anymore." and then she sort of gave me a look. It was pretty embarrassing and scary. The reason I thought it would be fine to wear this shirt because one of my classmates wore a t-shirt that had "SEXY ARMY" on it. I wasn't following but I recently noticed that she never got in trouble so I thought if she's not getting in trouble then why won't I wear my shirt.

Some of you might be saying "Well, it's a BUTT!" and I say "Well, that shirt says 'SEXY ARMY' on it" so shouldn't that be just as bad to wear in grade five? I don't know, that's my opinion and I'm not planning on changing my mind.
