WHAT'S LIFE WITHOUT MICHAEL JACKSON

Ako na lang muna papalit kay MJ.

(para akong si El DeBarge hehehe!)

Imagine? Moonwalk lang ang pinaka-kabisado kong dance routine kasi mga dekada ochenta at noventa ang aking kabataan. Yung mga sayaw na para kikinsot, alam mo ba yun? Thriller dance yun at yung high kick and leg twist tapos ita-tap mo ang paa mo, Beat it yun. Meron pang isa, yung hahawiin mo sa side ng damit mo then pa-funky-funky yung kamay mo..Billy Jean yun..

Siguro lahat naman tayo, batang-MJ..Michael Jackson! Mayabang ako dati dahil may album ako ng Thriller, yung cassett tape pa nga uso nun... first dance ko sa Manila when I arrived from two years stay in Cebu, Michael Jackson ang sayaw ko hahaha! That't was 1985, tinawanan pa ako ni Buboy yung kababata ko sa Navotas na tumakbong mayor.Pati utol ko, parang nahihiya sa pinaggagagawa ko noon. E uso nga si MJ e. Asar lang sila kasi kakulay ko si MJ at MJ moves ako nun. I remember nag dance number pa kami nung high school under Mr. Morla, ewan ko english subject yun e, english musical dawe ... so Smooth Criminal ang ginaya namin... yung nag-lean forward si MJ dun.

Malaking impluwensya si MJ e. Para nga di nakakahiya, pag wala pang pambili ng pants dati, at bitin na ang pants mo... uuy! Michael Jackson ah..hehehe! totoo lang walang pera mommy ko nun.

I could say kahit complex ang influences ko sa music, Michael Jackson was a big part of my musical side. Nasa Saudi na nga ako last year, namba-bad trip pa ako sa mga ibang lahi, kasi may MJ vcd dun na music video..palagi kong pinapanood at ang sound malakas...habang nag luluto ng Sadike (Saudi cops..hulihin nyo ko.....).

Uniter si MJ ng black at white, maraming siyang music records na siya ang unang nakagawa, at mga records ng kasutilan syempre , ganun paman isa s'ya sa nagpausbong ng black music industry sa mundo. I don't need to talk so much about his life and career kasi konti lang alam ko jan..basahahin nyo na lang sa internet...pero as of now, maglalaban muna kami ni Wes, yung black na lawyer dito, sa paramihan ng kabisadong kanta ni MJ. Gusto ko lang i-dedicate ang isang portion ng blog ko kay MJ, that's it..bilang pasasalamat sa contributions nya.

Wala naman akong personal encounter with MJ, he is just an idol and I am a proud big fan. Anuman ang naging kulay ng buhay n'ya, para sa akin lesson at insperasyon na dapat nating pulitin, at i-absorb. H'wag tularan ang mistakes n'ya na palagay ko yun din ang ipapayo nya, pero gayahin natin ang ang diskarte nya tungo sa pag unlad.

h'wag natin i-deny, we all have skeleton in our closets... kaya sa mga may bad opinion kay MJ...

Beat it!

Anuman ang preference ni MJ...para sa akin, He's the Man!

Go peacefully with our Lord, MJ and teach the angels how to do the moonwalk.

Rest in Peace, bro.

111th PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY

I can stand now and feel proud with this shirt

LET WHATEVER WE DO SHALL BENEFIT THE NATION AT THE END OF THE DAY…

THE PRICE FOR FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE OF PESO NOR OF A PIECE OF MOMENTO,

BUT OF A PRICELESS FLESH AND BLOODS,

OF TEARS AND BRUISES OF THE HEART,

OF PAINFUL FLIGHT TO LEAVE THE FAMILY BEHIND,

OF PERSONAL SACRIFICES IN FRONT OF THE ELECTED,

OF EXPLOITATION, LIES AND TAKING LIFE,

OF EVENTUAL GRID,

AND CLENCHED-FIST CONTROL OF THE FREED MIGHTY.

THE FIGHT NEVER ENDS

STAND UP TODAY, OR NEVER FOREVER !

I AM AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY !

CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION NOT NOW..NOT TODAY!

DEFINITELY NOT ON THIS ADMINISTRATION!

OFW BLOGGERS ARE ONE AGAINST MIKE AVENUE BLOG

On Mike Avenue Pinoy Blog’s ‘Tsokolate’

MANIFESTO
So that the bloggerworld and everyone may know....

We believe in the right to freedom of speech as a human right.

We believe in the freedom to hold opinions without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.

We believe in the right to freedom of expression to receive and impart information.

We believe that blogging is an expression of one’s opinions, personal experiences, hobbies, commentaries, diaries and we further believe that every blogger has the right to publish his personal expressions and opinions.

We believe that the exercise of these freedoms is not an absolute right but carries with it duties and responsibilities, that may be subject to restrictions or penalties on specific grounds as prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests and protection of the reputation or rights of others.

We believe that majority of the Overseas Filipino Workers have chosen to leave the Philippines to seek and search for better livelihood opportunities abroad so they may be able to support themselves and their families back home.

 

We believe that the OFW’s search for a greener pasture is not at all that easy and yet hundreds of thousands of OFWs have created names for them and have excelled in their chosen fields of endeavor, setting the world standards for nobility and for hard work.

We believe that there is nothing wrong with doing an honest day’s work as a domestic help or as construction worker or doing any other menial and blue collar jobs.

We believe that OFWs whether professionals or not should be given honor and respect.

We believe that the OFW is the Hope of the Nation, Gift to the World!

 

With these guiding beliefs:

We regard Mr. Mike Avenue’s Pinoy Blog post on "Tsokolate" as one that lacked research and a flagrant ignorance of the truth about Overseas Filipino workers and expatriates.

We regard this lack of truth and ignorance as especially inexcusable from one who feigns intelligence and high learning and coax people into belief and following.

We regard his statements: “minumura ng amo kapalit ng dolyar” and “humahalik sa paa ng mga dayuhan” as blatant mockeries of the sacrifices of the Overseas Filipino Workers and expatriates and are hasty generalizations of the living and working conditions of the Filipino expatriates and OFWs.

We regard his post as tactless and offensive, trying to make a lame attempt to sarcasm that failed to be funny, at the expense of the Overseas Filipino Workers.

We regard his post as a clear display of arrogance, done in a distasteful manner with blind indifference and unjust condemnation of the millions of hardworking OFWs who work long hours to earn an honest buck.

We regard his post to have overstepped the bounds of sensitivity and responsibility of a decent mind and an accountable and sensible blogger.

Therefore, we as OFW BLOGGER are not dumb to let this kind of humiliation pass just like that.

 We strongly condemn this irresponsible blog post and Mike Avenue.

We consider Mike Avenue as an Anti-OFW persona.

We demand a retraction and an apology from Mike Avenue of Pinoy Blogs for this irresponsible blogpost!

We are Filipinos and we should stand together and strive for a better Philippines!
