Michael Jackson: The King of Pop (1958-2009)

it has not hit me yet actually. i think it was sudden. i think it was too soon. michael jackson is dead. he was only 50 years old. i remember growing up as a kid hearing his music playing at every radio station i would listen to. i even remembered a then teen-ager cousin of mine who would mock jacko's signature moves. that's where i begin to like his music. though i love the song "thriller", i used to be afraid of seeing it's music video playing. maybe because of the scary scenes in the video.

but now, the king is gone.
and his legacy though will forever live.

michael was found unconscious and not breathing at his L.A. home.
he was rushed to UCLA Medical Center.
at the emergency room, the doctors tried to revive him for 42 minutes
before he was pronounced dead at 3:30pm local time

Rest in Peace Michael....
we will surely miss you!
