Michael Jackson's Burial

At last, after 2 and a half months of mourning, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has already been laid to his final rest. Earlier today, his burial took place at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

There were over 200 mourners who joined the Jackson family in their final mourn. A number of celebrities close to Michael one way or another, have been spotted at the funeral service. Some of them were Gladys Knight, who performed at the event, Stevie Wonder, Elizabeth Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley, Michael's former wife, Barry Bonds and Macaulay Culkin, who is said to be the long time friend of the King of Pop.

The security for the event was very tight and close to the public for safety reasons.

Goodbye MJ and may you rest in peace...

UFC 103: Franklin vs. Belfort on September, 2009

On September 19, 2009, UFC 103 event will feature Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort. After the much talked-about UFC 102 Fight between Randy “The Natural” Couture and Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Noguiera, where Noguiera won, the UFC 103 is another MMA (mix martial arts) event that should Photo courtesy of en.wikipedia.orgnot be missed.

The said event will be held at Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center and will be simultaneously broadcast in the US and Canada on pay-per-view (PPV). This will be the first UFC PPV to have a total of 13 fights.

Just a quick trivia on the Franklin vs. Belfort fight: On July 20, 2009, it was announced that Rich Franklin will headline UFC 103 against Dan Henderson, but on July 31, it was officially announced that Belfort will take Henderson's place instead.

Senator Mar Roxas Gave Up his Presidential Candidacy To Support Noynoy Aquino

Senator Mar Roxas has already announced, minutes ago, that he will give up his aspiration to run for President this 2010 election and support his friend, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III for his presidential candidacy.On the other hand, press are now trying to get Noynoy's reaction regarding Roxas' declaration but he asked to give him more time to make up his mind and decide on the matter.

If you have been following this news, after former President Cory Aquino's burial, many supporters have been urging Noynoy to run for president, as they strongly believe that he will be a great leader as his parents, Ninoy and Cory. At firs Noynoy was unsure but later it is clear that he is interested to the position.

Anyway, in my opinion, Mar's early declaration of giving up his candidacy for presidency and Noynoy's asking for more time to decide is the party's way of getting the pulse of the masses of whether they approved of the decision or not. I mean, why asked for more time to decide and not confirm your candidacy if Mar had already confirmed it in a way? What are they trying to prove?
