Teen Hearthrob in the 80's Found Dead

I bumped into a certain blog that features celebrities that shocked me a bit which I am already out of the news circulation since I arrived here in Thailand.
So many things had happened, knowing that my favorite celeb back in the 80's died already just last year.
To make the news more clear and proven to be true, I copied this entry from another blog just to clear my unconvincing mind. This news really surprised me, wherein the last time I saw him youtube was with Corey Feldman(his archrival then) discussing about their upcoming movie together.


Actor Corey Haim, best known for his 80s roles as a teen star including his part in movie The Lost Boys, has died. Police confirm the Canadian actor died in his apartment, in Los Angeles, California. He was only 38-years-old. He collapsed in his bedroom and four bottles of prescription drugs were found nearby.
Haim collapsed in front of his mother, after a suspected accidental drug overdose just before 1AM. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 2:15AM. Police were called to St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, CA, shortly before 4AM PT to investigate. His mother is the one who is thought to have made the 911 call.
According to TMZ, Haim suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001, and he was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center. He also reportedly was in and out of rehab 15 times, and cleaned up in 2004 after moving to Toronto. RIP Haim (1971-2010
).

WHO'S INSIDE THE COFFIN?


Got this pic from the Twitter account of Chuckie Dreyfus when I updated my Twitter...this pic was taken during the death of the late President Cory Aquino when the guards took it outside.
I can't believe that a journalist took a mistake of writing an entry without checking them doubly...hehehehe.
I just hope the Malancaniang Palace won't give their bad reactions about this news paper.

NINOY AQUINO'S LOVE POEM FOR CORY


The late national hero Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr., wrote this poem for his wife, former president Corazon C. Aquino, decades ago. Composer and singer Jose Mari Chan later set the piece into music and included it in his album, Constant Change.


I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
She was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain.
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;

So it was in those eighteen years and a day.
’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she’s our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope.
on her shoulders felt the burden of Life.

I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade

Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid.
she is calm and composed,
she is God’s lovely maid.

This poem was made by Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. for Cory at Fort Bonifacio on October 11, 1973.Former President Cory Aquino was in a great battle against cancer when Kris and Noynoy announced it publicly.She was the first Filipino woman who became a leader in the country and even the first in Asia.
The poem is telling of a strong love of Ninoy to Cory when he was in captivity and confined in a chilled prison.It tells of inspiration and description how Cory was a strong woman during the martial law till Ninoy was in jailed ,which she was solely taking care of the Aquino kids in the absent of Ninoy. Cory fulfilled the dreams of Ninoy by fighting against the dictatorship of Former President Marcos.She led us out from the hands of the Marcos regime to freedom,she brought us back the democracy that once being stolen from us.EDSA Revolution was born when she continue to fight not just for Ninoy's assassination but for the Filipinos.I was only an elementary pupil when Ninoy was assassinated in the old MIA.
I was then a High School student in Olongapo when the Revolution was born in EDSA..we supposed to have our field trip in Manila then but it was postponed because of the chaos happening during election.
I am very much affected of her death because I am a fan of Ninoy and witnessed how a mother was trying to protect her children from a cruelty of militaristic rules.It was her who widen my understanding about democracy and learned how we were suffering and witnessing the death of a thousand Filipinos during Martial Law.Her memory shall be remembered always as we are enjoying the freedom we have right now in memory of her and Ninoy.

REMEMBERING FARAH FAWCETT




This is one of the longest I have gone without blogging for sometime.I just let my twitter account to be updated of myself everyday.
Well, I'm back now and ready to wash out images again after the sad feelings I had of MJ's death.
Another sad news that shocked me was the sudden death of my fave actress Farah Fawcett. She's one of the original members of Charlie's Angels way back midst of 70's - 80's.
Right after the proclamation of MJ's death was also the announcement that she passed away after the long fight of cancer.Farah Fawcett was no longer active in the showbiz scene about late 80's. Among the original members,she's the most popular and the only blonde which the entire young women back then used to mimic her hairstyle.
She wasn't my crush eventually, its Jacklyn Smith the other member.
I can't even tell you how much pleasure I have derived from watching these shows. It's a total trip to nostalgia event while I was young and adoring these sexy and angel actresses of the 70's number tv show.
it's knocking loose all kinds of memories from when I was a youngster and indulge the entire show with my kins being addictive of the show.It was the most successful series of the 1970's.The 3 women who first played Charlie's Angels were Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, and Kate Jackson.
In spite of being famous for her swimsuit pose, which was replicated on millions of posters, it wasn't until 1995 that she agreed to pose for Playboy. That issue sold over four million copies, which made it the magazine's biggest seller for the decade
.
I can still picture some of the scenes of the tv show...She would be always my fave and can't afford to forget her.

REMEMBERING MICHAEL JACKSON


It took me a while to update my blog..honestly,I'm so much affected of this global crisis things..it sucks.Just this morning,a certain news broke me into silence while listening to an FM radio station when they announced the sudden death of Michael Jackson known to be the King of Pop.
I really have to say this,though it may sounds me annoying or corny but I am affected its because I grew up on his songs.Its like loosing a friend when you are used to see and hear his musics being played around on the air.
The moves,the songs, the voice, the screaming of the crowd when he is singing on stage is not easy to forget.The music industry is loosing one of the best icons in the world.It was really shocking when I heard it, its like I can't simply believe my eyes that one certain favorite is dead.
Among the songs that I simply played on my MP3 is "One Day In Your Life", "Happy",& "Music".

Really, I can't believe his death is so soon...according to Chuckie Dreyfus one of the famous child actors during his time : "Like a comet... blazing across the evening sky... Gone too soon..." God be with you, MJ. Rest in peace"
To be exact, we are loosing the best performer in the world and his memory lives on forever...I really adore and loves his songs.Michael Jackson would always be Michael Jackson.
Here are some of the videos that I love to view every now and then.
