I got to watch Michael Jackson's This Is It on Wednesday night. Truly a great experience, since it gave me a wonderful glimpse of what was supposed to be the This Is It concerts.
I was amazed at what was being planned for the concerts. From the bulldozer and tragic mini-film in "Earth Song" to the 1940s-style mini-film for "Smooth Criminal" to the actual performances of the songs ("I'll Be There", "They Don't Care About Us", "Billie Jean", "Man in the Mirror", etc.), it was just so wonderful. Michael didn't perform at his very best, which I understood anyway since he was saving it for the actual thing. And that's why it's also so sad --- this plan would never be materialized because the star has left the world.
I gotta say that this film gave me some closure on Michael Jackson's death, though it's still sad to see that Jackson will never be able to perform the actual concert. It would have been so beautiful and so spectacular. Still, one can't help but be happy because of the display of greatness from the King of Pop.

On other stuff, I do hope some of you can also take on the task of posting news in theOtaku. These past days seem so uneventful in the news nuggets section, so I hope some of you can post some newsworthy stuff there.
Also, I'll be looking for a new place to have my internship in human resources. For now, I have to make my application letter and resume first.
That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY.
1. This is it. Here I am. I've come back in my World, I feel grand.
2. Well, it's been a long time since I've posted something in the Cafe. Hopefully, everyone's doing well.
3. As you can see in the picture above, I'm gonna watch Michael Jackson's This Is It at a nearby theater. I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing it and having a glimpse of the King of Pop do his thing one last time.
4. There's a reason why it took me so long to post here. I failed to do well in one of my courses, that being Abnormal Psychology, so I needed the time to calm myself down and do some personal reflection.
5. This was my first time to suffer such a fate in a subject in school. If I may borrow a few words from the Michael Jackson song Stranger in Moscow, it really felt like a "swift and sudden fall from grace". I'm so glad I've settled these things already.
6. Ah, sleep. So simple yet so powerful. Who would've thought a simple 2-hour nap in my school would be the key to putting an end to the misery that I've felt when I suffered that fate in that subject in school?
7. I went to an anime/game/comic/hobbies convention recently held inside a mall in the city. Not exactly a very memorable experience for me, since it was below my expectations. Good job on the effort, though.
8. Why wasn't it memorable? Venue was small. Booths could be barely seen since it was covered by the crowd. There were exhibits for breast cancer from a different organization which, I believe, affected the venue and the booths.
9. Cosplay was okay, though there were missed opportunities. Two groups did an anime parody and a song number on stage, which could've worked if only they utilized a mic or pre-recorded audio. Also, some cosplayers didn't know much about who they were cosplaying, which affected their presentation.
10. I'm having plans on doing a cosplay in the near future. However, I need to clear out a few things before I do that. And yeah, the first item was inspired from the "This is It" single.
'Till next time everyone. Have a nice day!
