Music is Life by Francis Magalona

Nov.17, 2008 7:17pm

I still hear the voices of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Tupac Shakur, Kurt Cobain, The Notorious B.I.G. and Frank Sinatra to name a few. And their voices rise from their graves.

I am lucky to have been a recording artist and one day when I leave this world, just like the names I mentioned, my voice will be heard. Always. At a touch of a button or switch, I am "alive" again.

In essence music is life. Music is immortality.

-Francis "Kiko" Magalona (from his "Happy Battle" Multiply blog)

"you are indeed alive and well. everytime i play your songs, you are here..thank you for the memories and thank you for the music my friend..miss you always!

“I look forward to the pain as I know my journey is on full speed ahead. I will not be bold to say that without asking a favor from you all. Please pray for me as I undergo treatment. Your prayers, as always, have sustained me. And am sure the Lord will listen to all our prayers. To His will I submit myself."
- Francis "Kiko" Magalona

"vaya fácil y descanse bien a mi hermano, bendiga su alma en nombre del padre, el hijo y el Espíritu Santo .. amén."

Love Actually

"General opinion's suggesting that we live in a world of hatred and greed - but i dont see that - seems to me Love is everywhere. Igniting laughter, wrecking havoc, breaking hearts, daring commitments, forcing choices, catapulting spirits, forging inroads, creating risks-ecstatic, exciting, unexplained, unwelcome, inconvenient, inexplicable, inelegant, unequaled. Love is actually all around..and im falling ..helplessly...

bon appetit!

today i cooked some nice home-style dish at my work place. my chef was kind enough to let me inside his kitchen and do my thing. i cooked "tinola" or should i say "chicken stew" Philippine style.

it turned out fine and chef was delighted about it...haaay, i miss home, i miss mom and her cooking...

big thanks to Chef Anand Pant..and for letting me wear the chef uniform!
