Michael Jackson's Death

It's a total shock. Even for me. For everyone.

Michael Jackson, age 50, died last June 25 at 2:56 PM. It was a worldwide tragedy.

The King of Pop was a very popular singer-songwriter, dancer and businessman, dedicating all his songs to his fans, working hard for his moonwalk dances, and sings for everyone's entertainment. Back in the 1980's, he was the top of all music charts that rivals Elvis Presley and the Beatles.

His death obviously resembles that of Elvis's, who died at age 42 in 1977, which made a great impact on all his fans as well.

But why did Michael have to die, anyway?

He collapsed at his rented house at Los Angeles, California. His personal doctors tried to use CPR on him but he still wasn't breathing. He was then sent to UCLA Medical Center, but was reported dead a few hours of resuscitation later. His death cause was unknown but he was already reported to have cardiac arrest, a rare condition wherein the heart suddenly stops beating, maybe due to stress, or some kind of medicine.

His songs were very popular, even in the MTV charts, even from his youth. His "Thriller" album was the most popular, hearing it on different radio stations worldwide. His death also caused the online networks in a craze, including Twitter, Facebook and Google.

Philippines was also one of the countries who heavily mourned for his death, most likely celebrities and government officials who were his avid fans. Even me, the author of this very blog, after hearing the news from my classmate, I cried silently for 30 minutes, because the song Thriller, was the very first MJ song that I watched on Studio 23 when I was still a grade school kid, and I really loved it.

His song "Billie Jean" was also among the ones I heard on the radio. I watched some videos around the internet, including YouTube, and I honestly can't stop myself from crying again because I didn't expect this would happen.

The greatest death in history.

The King of Pop...no one can ever replace him. No one can ever grab his moves from him. It will always be Michael Jackson as the King of Pop for everyone.

But all we can do is accept the truth...that we cannot bring him back anymore.


As part of my short article-tribute to my pop idol, I present him with the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and Awake by Secondhand Serenade.

Michael Jackson, born August 29, 1958, died June 25, 2009...We will not forget you. You will always be in our hearts, our memories...And your songs will continue to play in our life. I hope you rest in peace.


Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now hes dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away

Mama oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody, Ive got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama oooh... (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,

I sometimes wish Id never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me
Galileo, galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro magnifico
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! no, we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....




Awake - Secondhand Serenade

With every appearance by you, blinding my eyes,
I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do.
You're an angel disguised.

And you're lying real still, but your heart beat is fast just like mine.
And the movie's long over, that's three that have passed, one more's fine.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe, I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

I'm trying real hard not to shake.
I'm biting my tongue, but I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I've won.
You're my key to survival.
And if it's a hero you want, I can save you.
Just stay here. Your whispers are priceless.
Your breathe, it is dear. So please stay near.

Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe, I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.

Say my name. I just want to hear you.
Say my name. So I know it's true.
You're changing me. You're changing me.
You showed me how to live.
So just say. So just say,

That you'll stay awake for me.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I don't wanna miss anything.
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string, I just don't wanna miss anything

Let us all offer our prayers to the King of Pop while we still remember him.

A moment of peace...

Rikku Mitsuganae's Biography AND Vampire Knight Chapter 51

No intro pics for this post because I'll be posting something good. I apologize for the late post again ^_^

Here goes. THE NEW 3RD DIVISION CAPTAIN. She finally became a Captain after 15 years of training. She has achieved Bankai in a sort of different way, not Yoruichi's or Gotei 13's way... Just a secret way no one will know, not even her creator... LOL

++++

Name: Rikku Mitsuganae
Age: 19
Birthday: May 17
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Gold
Rank: 3rd Division Captain, replacing Gin Ichimaru
Lieutenant: Momo Hinamori, since Kira defects to the 5th Division
Appearance:
She wears casually, though. Her captain's sash is worn as a second skirt, and she dresses like a street girl. But actually when she goes into a serious battle she removes the outer attire and reveals an outfit that resembles Soifon's.
Personality:
The same as Unohana Retsu, the 4th Division Captain, in usual situations. But when in battle she is as cold as the 4th Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer. Despite having dual personalities, Rikku is still able to stand tall among the others being cheerful in the midst of a problem.

++++

Abilities:

- Sonido
Impossibly, Rikku is the only Shinigami living to ever use Sonido, a technique a level higher than Flash Steps. She said she experimented it with her own reiatsu, and ended up overlapping the Flash Steps technique she once learned.

- Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant
As the powerful 3rd Division Captain, she is very powerful to be able to take an Espada or a Lieutenant all alone, just like the former Captain. Rikku often uses Sonido along with barehanded physical attacks, making her hard enough to attack in both close range and long range.

- Master Swordsman
It was already shown in the story that she is highly and efficiently skilled in swordsmanship, and while in battle she is still able to twirl her Zanpakutou for added effect. She holds her sword horizontally, the blade facing the enemy. She explains that she twirls her Zanpakutou to taunt her own opponent. She fights in a normal style as well, but with the use of Sonido, she is extremely deadly, since she is very excellent in controlling both.

- Great Spiritual Energy
As the 3rd Divison Captain, she boasts a very large amount of spiritual power.

- Master Strategist
Being the most tactical division of Gotei 13, Rikku, while in the middle of fights always plans ahead her next attack. She is also able to read her opponent's moves, but, then again, she says it's all part of her taunting the enemy. Knowing the reason why, she never wanted to answer.

- Enhanced Strength and Durability
Despite being hit a lot of times she is still able to stand up, that is because of her huge amount of reiatsu. Rikku intends to fight enemies closer to her size, but she says she doesn't mind taking in bigger ones as well.

++++

Zanpakutou:

Raimeiryu (雷ドラゴン, Japanese for "Thunder Dragon")
Her Zanpakutou is like a kodachi, having a squared tip at the end of the blade. The hilt is colored blue, and the guard is a spiralled thunderbolt. Like Soifon, she keeps her Zanpakutou on the back by the waist.

Shikai: The shikai is activated by the command "Descend from heaven" (天から降ろしなさい, Amakudaru). Twirling her Zanpakutou while raising it to the skies, as the command is executed a thunderbolt will zap the sword and it will change into a blue, long scepter. The scepter itself resembles Shiba Kaien's Nejibana, but the tip end there is a gold jewel encircled in a thunder design from the scepter's base. In this form, Rikku had changed her way on twirling the scepter: both hands. She can hold on two enemies with this scepter.

Shikai Special Ability: Combining her Sonido with her Shikai, Rikku is proven to be the "Killer Angel from Heaven".

- Ryu no Abareru (ドラゴンの激怒, The Dragon's Rage) This special ability is very powerful despite coming from a single scepter. In actualization, Rikku demanded that if anyone really wants to see her cold side, she needs to have two scepters. In this attack, Rikku holds her scepter on the base part and raises it to the clouds, a thunder cracking, and the skies darkening. Then, with a wavedown of her scepter, hundreds of thunderbolts strike down the enemy, dealing major damage. She added that even in it's shikai the Zanpakutou itself is still very powerful.



Bankai: Tengoku no Katakiuchi (天の復讐, Heaven's Vengeance) To release her Bankai, Rikku holds her scepter in a horizontal way, saying the name. It's appearance made it possible to describe it as "majestic", as two scepters are now in her hands, and she herself gets to summon thunder dragons. In addition, the Thunder Dragon God is there as her helper, and it wasn't summoned---it was actually together with the Zanpakutou. She said it wasn't easy to defeat the God before she could ever get her hands on the sword itself, and declared that it is the most powerful and dangerous thunder Zanpakutou ever wielded.


Bankai Special Ability: When used in other thunder dragons, it uses small amount of spiritual energy... But when used to the Thunder Dragon God the user needs to draw a huge amount of reiatsu, knowing that the God is summoned for that purpose: to help its user. The damage it deals to enemies is very deadly, electrocuting them to death. As expected from the Captain of the 3rd Division... It leaves the user very exhausted and left with half amount of reiatsu.

++++

Trivia:

> It is unknown where Rikku learned the Sonido but she just said she "experimented" it.
> Rikku bears a close resemblance to Soifon when it comes to her abilites and her outfit, but not her personality. It is implied that her fighting style is the same as hers as well, the difference only using Sonido.
> She despises humans, because she wanted them to know that Shinigami existed, even though no one would believe her.
> Rikku is obviously the second youngest Shinigami Captain, the first being Hitsugaya Toushiro. She's 19 years old, while the others have already reached 25+.
> Believe it or not, Rikku's biography was created before the creator herself was able to start a story. The creator said that "Rikku's character is pretty much like her so it was ironically easy to create, and she didn't want the story to get ruined by editing the character profile daily."
> Her "hate-for-fighting" attitude wasn't mentioned because she rarely shows it to everyone, even though that person is close to her.

++++

All right! I finished it! I got---2 translators for the Kanji and the Romaji terms above. It took me a total of 3 hours to finish this biography....IT'S REALLY HARD! I even based her character on Soifon's!! XD

I feel stupid but I was still able to create this kind of long and detailed biography. NOSEBLEED ON THE ULTIMATE ENGLISH PARTS. :D

For Kurama Uchiha's profile...I'll put that up sometime soon. Please be patient! :D

EDIT!!!: Vampire Knight 51 is already up an hour just now! GEEZ, I was deadly waiting... FINALLY...We get to see more of Zero and vampire Yuuki...(AND Yori and Yagari-sensei too..) ARIGATO, Hino-sensei!! :D

Argh. This life is so stupid(but yet I enjoy every single bit of it, hahaha...). BUT STILL! I am now a fourth year high school student...AND GUESS WHAT. IV-CALLALILY. AAARGH! I hate our section name. UGH. Oh forget it. Life's like that. I am currently enjoying World History and English, so no prob.

BUT, I am heavily buuuuusy this year because there will be loads of assignments, projects, and reports...That's why I don't know if I will still be able to post here weekly. The only time I have is Saturday...so I'll try to find a newer idea to post here weekly. ^_^

GOOD NEWS! I now have Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle volume 21. I ordered it last Tuesday, and it arrived this morning. Ashura-ou is the best king EVER. Oh, and I am also waiting for new Shojo Beat issues and VK volume 7. AND I AM STILL EXPECTING VAMPIRE KNIGHT CHAPTER 51. RIGHT NOW. *lol*

About the dialogue on the previous two posts... OMG! I promised, right?! GOMENASAI! *gets bullied by Kaname and Yuuki for not keeping her promise* Sorry a MILLION TIMES! At least right now I got the time! Stop the bullying!

I promise you. This time it's going to be sad. It would be payback to those who bullied me and were forcing me to continue in such a baaaad mood.



Zero: Mizore... I'm sorry, but...I have to...leave.

Me: But-but...why..?!

Zero: There's a mission I need to accomplish, now that I am the new head of the Hunters Association. I won't be back for a month. I know it hurts you, but I am really sorry.

Me: You'll come back, won't you?

Zero: Yes. I promise I'll come back.

Me: Don't forget...I love you.

Zero: And I you.

*then Zero turns and walks away from the crying Mizore*



Ahahahaha... I know it's sad but it's like that...It's also sweet, as you can see. The farewell was a little mushy so I'll try making up for the upcoming dialogues. Sorry to disappoint you. ^_^ *again, Kaname and Yuuki bully her, now together with Aidou and Ichijou* WAAH! You two!! Don't do this on meeeeeee......

[STANDBY FOR 30 MINUTES]

A rainy afternoon...

The afternoon's pretty cold and rainy today, and it's already the school week. (Good for us, our classes are still in June 15. Long waits, huh? That's a consequence. :D)

Ah, yes.

I won't be cheerio this afternoon because the weather affects my health so much, and the dialogue continuation will be posted instead this Saturday, I'll just edit this post. Here are the updates for Killing Loneliness! A total of three chapters!

Chapter 38: Shattered Hopes

Chapter 39: Back in Hell
