Eklaboo!

We were all in a state of shock after hearing about the passing of Michael Jackson.   Reading Lisa Marie Presley’s blog brought MJ from a mere icon to a real person.  That he is in fact someone needing someone.  On Lisa’s blog on MySpace, she said that when she and Jackson were still together, he hinted at ending up with the same fate of her father, who died in August 16th 1977 due to prescription drug overdose.

“At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, ‘I am afraid that I am going to end up like him (Elvis Presley), the way he did,’” she quoted Jackson as saying.

Her post is a heartfelt one.  In her words..

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together

I feel for her.  Not that I have gone through exactly the same pain.  I hope she knows that she is a blessing to MJ.

I was browsing through my oldest email account and uncovered a letter.  For some reason, I cried after reading.  Each word just means so much, then and now.

Dated: January 16, 2002.

…And I never realized na me being “manhid” like they said kay dili man ko basta-basta ma-ilad sa kinsang gwapa (mi-andar na pod ang pagka botboton), would eventualy be caught by a gentle, loving and sweet Ann not because of any “gayuma” but because of a prayer that has been answered.

And for no reason at all, Ann, I tell you this:

I love you because I love you. I’m very grateful to God that He’s opened my heart to see you. The gentleness of your touch, your kindness, your thoughtfulness, the sweetness of your lips, your love. All these, He has allowed me to have although I’m not worthy of it. Ann, let’s pray to God that our love will be forever. That neither time, nor differences, nor distance, nor problems, nor tempations, nor anything would ever change us.

I love you Ann, plain and simple.

… because he made me laugh.

Here’s the story:

A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: ‘Talking Dog For Sale .’ He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.
‘You talk?’ he asks.
‘Yep,’ the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’
The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’
‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down.. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’
‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says.
‘Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’
‘Because he’s such a liar. He never did any of that stuff.
