Iconic Deaths

Short note written last August 2, 2009 at 6:58am

It's kinda weird that really important people in different fields (historic people) died in the 1st half of the year. (year 2009)

first, it was Francis Magalona who was considered the "Master Rapper" who also stirred Filipino patriotism through his songs...

then, we have Michael Jackson who was the "king of pop" but i would rather call him "the Greatest Performer that ever lived" who transcends race, religion, nationality through his music (e.g. Heal the World)

and now, we have former Pres. Corazon Aquino who made history through her contribution in the People Power Revolution at EDSA during the Marcos regime (thou i will not give her the entire credit for EDSA I coz there were also other impt. people who contributed to that historic event like the late Jaime Cardinal Sin), where she became the symbol for democracy and the world was awed by that bloodless revolution - kinda like Mahatma Ghandi revolting in peaceful ways. (but then again, Ghandi was 1 man and EDSA I was an entire nation)

their deaths kinda makes one think..."what legacy will you leave behind when you die?"
