Four months ago, my uncle gave us a cute 2 weeks old white puppy and we named her Whitey. The pup is so small that even other pup within her age seems to be big if they were compared toe to toe. Then as months goes by, this cute little pup grows bigger and become more adorable. By then, she's been the noisiest dog that we have that barks with her very tiny and high pitch voice and it tends to annoy you and breaks your ear drum every time you'll hear her barking. All our friends, neighbors, visitors, and relatives that visit our house got easily hooked-up in playing her and even kids likes her to bring on their homes. She also catches attentions of other dogs that they like to play with her. It gives everyone joys and happiness in our compound.











But suddenly, the happiness is been broken. She passed away and the only thing she left to us is just a fond memory that she never failed to bring to us.

This afternoon, as I was enjoying watching one of the segments in the noon time show Eat Bulaga which is the "Sa Pula, Sa Puti", the host Allan K. stops the program in the middle of the game for a quick commercial break. The stopping of game in EB is not usual which the game usually ended before the second round. And then, the EB resumes it's programming and suddenly all the host of the TV show are on the stage and the main host which is Vic Sotto speaks solemnly and announcing that the Master Rapper Francis Magalona has passed away.

I was surprise on the news, although we all know that Francis M. is suffering from a major illness and his chances in surviving is very minimal, the man was able to hide his weakness by telling the nation how he survive all the obstacles he encounters.

As a fan, I’ve idolized this man as a great and talented artist, not only on the type of music he created but every music he made shows his patriotism and awareness on our nation and society. He's been a foundation on the nations rap industry, an Idol and Icon for those who like and dislike his music and an inspiration for those who dreamed to be on his shoes. He also designed a shirt to show and to unite all the Filipino by proudly wearing the Philippine symbol. He is a host, an actor, a model, a writer, a photographer, a film maker and a father.

Though I don't personally know him, this is a man with a big dream, a big heart, and a big hope. A great loss to the country's music industry, very talented artist.

Farewell Idol, good luck to your journey.
