6/26, What a day ;

Hello readers,

As you may have heard, music icon Michael Joseph Jackson passed away yesterday at 2:26PM. The cause was cardiac arrest, or heart attack. He was fifty years old.
I found out about this through Twitter updates when I was at the beach. Of course at first, I didnt quite believe it. When more tweets came into my phone saying, 'Michael Jackson is dead', that's when I told myself "Yeah, it's true...". By the time I arrived home, the first thing I did was to check news sites and Wikipedia, just to find out more sad thruth about it.

I grew up with his music though I cannot call myself a fan. But I can say I liked listening to most of his songs. Being called the King of Pop, he made the Moonwalk popular and made it his signature move. Not to mention the plethora of accolades, records and achievements he has made through his lifetime. Nevermind his downfalls and allegations, those were his problems. Ditch the childish jokes and focus more on his music, dance and charisma where he fully shines. A legend, a musical genius, that's the actual Michael Jackson he wants to show the world to.

In my deepest feelings, I felt heartbroken and very sad about it. Grieving for him is just as similar grieving for a lost family member. Not only that death is one of the worst things out there, it felt like he bid his farewell to us too soon. Very unexpected, indeed. Sixteen days before his first concert in eleven years, he had to leave. All fifty This Is It sold-out concerts over the duration of one year cancelled, and crushed hopes for his comeback into music because of his death. It sucks, isn't it?

In my honest opinion, he's not one of the best musicians in history. He's the best musician in history. At least, in my whole lifetime I'm sure I won't see anyone that can surpass the King of Pop.

Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson.
Sure, his life might have put to an end too soon, but another legend lives on.
His spirit, music and everything he left into this world will never be forgotten.

I think I have said enough.
Thank you for reading.
