> Francis “Kiko” Magalona (Mga Kababayan Ko song)
Your music will live forever, so have fun up there.
***
Francis Magalona, also known as FrancisM, Master Rapper, and The Man From Manila just passed away because of multiple organ failure on March 6, 2009 at 12:00 noon that day.
***
It’s a blessing for you to see great people during your lifetime before God finally take them back. They may not have directly impacted your life but every pieces that they share to the world, it makes you proud that you have been there during their time.
***
I first heard of the name Francis M. when his hit rap song “Mga Kababayan Ko” played in the airwaves. I immediately became a fan. You know, dressing up like the way he does (I even have the same dress as what he is wearing in the picture below), rapping (I long been admitted to myself that I couldn’t), and everything. I remember before, I used to sing the song “Mga Kababayan Ko” without even understanding the lyrics, even if it was in Filipino. When I gain more experiences through each passing time, it was where I understand that the song became a hit not because it has catchy beat and lyrics BUT it’s because of the message that it conveyed to us Filipino. Everytime I will hear the song this time, it was like Jose Rizal rapping how he has opened our hearts to what is right and must be done.
***
He has other hits that have messages about love, life, friendship, youth, faith, and family. To name a few of his songs: Kaleidoscope World, Kabataan Para Sa Kinabukasan, Freeman, and Cold Summer Nights.
***
He was 44 when he passed away. Too young of an age to leave everything behind. A beautiful wife and 8 lovely kids.
***
Below are some lines from Francis Magalona’s hit, and my personal favorite, Kaleidoscope World:
+
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
+++
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

(October 4, 1964 - March 6, 2009)

Rest in peace.

(blessed is the feeling to see your hero wearing the same exact dress as what you have) THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC.

Have A Magical Evening
I worked before in a travel agency account. We process flights, hotels, and cars. Flight is the most challenging to process, second would be hotels, third would be cars. Cool. They’re in respective manner.
I could discuss all three but I will just talk about hotels. Especially my experience in calling a Walt Disney hotel.
Each hotel has actually its own opening and closing spiel when you call them. Each has its own spiel, but it’s all the same… really. It only change in the name of the hotel. You know, “Thank you for calling…” for intro and “Thank you for calling…” when you say goodbye.
One day I called a Walt Disney hotel. First time. I was greeted by the generic greeting “thank you for calling…” I was expecting it. I booked a room for two with a kitchen and has an ocean view. After that, I said goodbye. I was expecting the generic closing spiel again. And the representative said…
“Have A Magical Evening…”
Then she hang up.
When I heard her say their closing spiel. I was enchanted. They really lived up to their name. I was really amused. In astonishment, I called up the number again just for me to hear her say their closing spiel again.
I dialled the number.
This time, a male representative picked up the phone.
Opps.
For a second, I thought of hanging up. But I did not. I continue talking to him and I inquired a room on purpose and then I said goodbye. And the moment that I’ve been waiting for came.
But he just hung up.

The Question Of All Question
Most people would still ask even if they have the answer in front of them.
I just noticed.
When I was in grade 6, I was a baseball player. Me and my buddy stayed on the side of the diamond to watch a game, suppose to be. Unfortunately, we did not. We just stood near the diamond and talk. To make the long story short, my friend got hit by a baseball on the head. Don’t ask me how fast the ball was because I did not notice it either.
I saw him rolling over the ground while holding on to his head. I knew immediately that he got hit by a baseball on the head. Well, it’s just between a baseball and a baseball bat that would hit his head.
Obviously.
With his face showing how extremely painful he was feeling, I asked.. “are you okay?”
…
People rush through the scene, those who have witnessed, and asked as well if my friend was okay.
