FRANCISM
I am not a big fan of Francis Magalona, but I am a fan.
Naaastigan ako sa kanya! I have always admired artists who do not just perform but inspire and influence as well. Francis M. is just one of the few Pinoy artists who were able to inject meaning into their craft. Admiringly, he was able to combine patriotism in his works, whether it be his music, his shirt designs or his web journal. His music is actually likeable, not like most rap music today where one will hate the lyrics/content as much as the beat.
Contrary to what everyone is saying, Francis M. is not a big loss. Our country (not only our country's music industry) has benefitted a lot from this man. He has left a legacy. Time might come that his music will be outdated or his style outmoded, but the meaning that he was able to embed in his craft will remain.
God bless what Francis Magalona has left -- his family, his friends, his followers, his legacy.
Francis M. in his first performance at Eat Bulaga after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Uhh, yes, pinicturan ko ang TV namin dati lang para jan. Sabi sa inyo di ako big fan eh. :P
In that performance, he sang Super Proxy with Ely Buendia. They were both in recupration that time (Ely from his heart attack and Kiko from leukemia). Pinicturan ko din kasi gusto ko si Kiko, tapos gusto ni Nikki si Ely. :P Tsaka astig ang combination nila. :)
I survived Sagada!
We conquered Sagada! ^_^ Nikki and I went there with his officemates (Bottom L-R: Joe-e, CJ, Noreen and Altair) last Saturday. They’re a bunch of cool and fun-to-be-with guys! =D
Sayang lang talaga na halos 24 hours lang kami nakapag-stay dun dahil sa haba ng byahe! But there are plans to go back this June.
Sana matupad! =D
I’m not in the mood to post other details (as always =P), just take a sneak peek of our Sagada adventure
here. =)
Will update the album with pics from Joe-e and Noreen soon. =)
