Not another tribute?

The news is out, yes. Everybody knows that Michael Jackson has passed on so suddenly.

It's pitiful. During the days before he died, he was so indebted and encountered all kinds of endeavors, even the media put him in such bad light. But now after he died, only do people start to pay tribute to him and appreciate his work and existence. It's sad to see that people realize what are the things that are precious and worth valuing only after they have lost it, don't you think so?

The ordeal of Michael Jackson has definitely made me realize something - that life very unpredictable. We KNOW that life is short, we KNOW that we should cherish every moment living on earth, but how many of us really think that this is so important and remind ourselves to be grateful for everyday given to us?

Well, I'm not trying to judge anything here because I'm included as well. I create bucket lists, resolutions, dreams and goals. My aim, all these while, is to experience and explore as many things as I can in life - and that's good. But now I start to realize, that I've included everything on my to-dos, but I was lack of one thing - to cherish the people who love me most, my family.

Those who know me well would have known that I do encounter a lot of family problems all my life. Well, no matter because I don't deem them as problems anymore but simply a part of me and my family. The point is, did I actually detach myself from them instead? Have I really adopted a fresh perspective of the matter, or have I actually ignored it entirely?

The question remains.

Tonight, let me end my post with this short video clip that I've bumped into on Youtube, featuring Paris Jackson who spoke at her father's funeral.

Be empathetic. Put yourself in her shoes and try to feel how she felt. Foooh! It's incredible I'd say.



Good night everyone.
