4/7/2014 The magic moment“When you have a special gift you don’t realize it because you think everyone else has the same gift.” This scribble is once again dedicated to my passion, writing. I love having that 'magic' moment when your muse shows you a wonderful scene for in your book. It's the moment where time stands still, where you escape cause he takes you on a trip into the world of your 'protagonist' like 'a fly on the wall' you experience it all. Then comes the challenge to get it 'perfectly' on paper. Simply exactly, you don't THINK, you just let your muse take over and you type what you see, what you hear and before you 'realize' it... The scene is 'alive' on paper or on screen. “The song writing process is something very difficult to explain because it’s very spiritual.. You really have it in the hands of God, and it’s as if it’s been written already – that’s the real truth. You’re just really the source through which the songs come. I feel guilty having to put my name, sometimes, on the songs that I do write but still... It’s a work of God.” “You give of your talent, your ability that was given you by the Heavens. That’s why we’re here, to bring a sense of escapism in time of need. If you’re a writer, you write... " Indeed, even when I'm not getting ONE letter on paper or screen. I'm a writer. I plot, I experience, I live, I soak up knowledge, story lines... Then, when I do write I bring love, escapism, awareness cause I've been given the gift to express what others can't. I can live different lives to give people Bliss and a voice to debate how life is lived... "You give people some love and some bliss and some escapism to show that you truly care from the heart and be there for them. Not just from a distance but show you really care. You be there for them. And that’s what I did. It’s an important thing.” So, the 'magic moment' will always be a moment where I pick myself up. The moment, I remember why I'm still here to bring Bliss and awareness and above LOVE... "Do you feel your music?” ~ Michael Jackson ~ Written by Daz. Copyright 2014. 4/1/2014 Mixed feelingsHello peeps, With the recent news of a NEW album, YEASH, the NEW Michael Jackson Album called "Xscape" , my Muse was fretting to jot down my point of view in case other peeps had the same thoughts like me but didn't really know how to voice them. So, here I am... We're once again on the fore evening of another 'hurricane' rushing through the FAN Community that always seems to be split in half... I won't give them a name here but you got the ones 'excited' and you got the 'sceptics' and just maybe a fine line between them. The ones who walk the yellow brick road! That's why I called this scribble "Mixed feelings". Part of me is 'sceptical' cause Michael isn't here any more to have his last say on whatever they promote now and we know Michael was a perfectionist. So, that's where the mixed feeling comes from... Would he have liked the cover? the track list? The 'pumping up' of his demo's to today's standards? I guess, we never know, do we? On the other hand, when I laid eyes on the track list, I couldn't help but feel a sizzle and I'm even happy to see Michael in the local newspaper with a decent article only about the music! That's worth a mention here... I really get the 'sceptics' that say that it's $ony only promoting their Xperia phone and stuff like that but WHY see everything in a BAD light? I mean, they could have promoted one of the current artists and FORGET all about Michael, duh! So, it's a two edged sword... That's what it really is... You can hold onto the grudge or you can forgive and HELP them in building Michael's legacy! No need for wars or digging up old heifers to vaildate your grudge. NOW, it's time to show Michael what we learnt from him... “Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it, I know I will live forever.” ~ Michael Jackson ~ So, Please LET Michael live FOREVER NOW. Written by Daz. 3/24/2014 Different but blessedHello Sunshines, "Just call my name and I'll be there" Time for a 'reflection' or 'scribble' again. Today, I'd like to reflect on how I 'perceive' the world around me. This inspiration came to me during an 'exam'... Yeah, Indeed... I get ideas on the most 'inappropriate' times and I have to try to keep my Muse quiet then. Anyway, The exam lasted an hour... The first half was a 'screening' and the second half had a written deadline to it. The inspiration came to me on the first half when I observed the people around me. We were with 40 candidates mostly nervous and jittery and I seemed quiet and collected. "Whatever you believe, you become" There is where I can shine in my 'different' and 'blessed' state cause Michael was keeping me sweet. We had to sit at a table and touch nothing. That was not hard for me as I was facing a wall and Michael was 'protecting' images on it. I only 'fretted' that I couldn't sit there smiling like a grinning idiot but the half hour whizzed by before we knew it while others around me fretted, sipped from their water, had to rush to the restroom then and so on... I saw the lady next to me wondering why I was so calm and collected.This was after all, an important exam, you know. Even in death or I rather say his residence in heaven, Michael still knows how to keep me calm and collected to reach my goal and to make my dreams come true... "I am forever" It made me wonder why others around me were so noisy and vibrating energy that I had to block them off but then I realized, it must be the 'force' Michael that makes me shine even through a stressful situation like a 'state exam'... That's WHY I still feel BLESSED to have Michael 'guide' me and I'm FOREVER grateful that we got 'in touch'. Love does indeed live forever... Written by Daz and Inspired by MJ, the ONE that lives in heaven now. 3/21/2014 Save one child and give hope"To save ONE child is a BIG step forward..." This Blog article will warm your heart. Do you remember the ‘lost’ 4 year old boy Béla Farkas that Michael Jackson ‘saved’ cause he paid for a NEW liver and all the treatments the boy needed? I’m sure, you have heard the story about little Béla Farkas, a Hungarian boy, who was saved by a liver transplant, paid for by Michael Jackson 20 years ago. Michael first met 4 year old Bela Farkas, an orphan, in August 1994 at Bethesda Hospital in Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian Sun interviewed Béla Farkas, who has just become the proud father of a beautiful, healthy baby girl! He wants to thank Michael Jackson for saving his life. THESE are the KIND of stories the world NEEDS to know about! I’d like to ‘repost’ the English Summary here from "the Hungarian Sun" kindly translated by Agnes Spent. Bela Farkas was the little boy whom Michael met in 1994 in Budapest while visiting a hospital. He never before gave an interview. The little boy at the time needed a liver transplant but at the time no such operation was performed in Hungary and it was very expensive abroad. When Bela was born his parents left him so he had no hope to get the money. When Michael visited the hospital he asked why the boy was so thin and yellow and they explained it to him. He immediately said that he would pay for the operation and the treatment. Not only he paid for the operation but all the treatment that was needed after that and he continued to send Bela gifts too. Shortly after his operation he was adopted so he grew up with loving parents eventually. When Michael went to Hungary for the HIStory tour, he met Bela again. The boy then told him: "You are as if you are my dad." Michael laughed and told him: "Then you are my son." They remained in contact until Michael's death. Michael sent him cards, gifts for his birthday, for Christmas and Bela sent him drawings, photos. When Michael died Bela cried as if he lost his dad. He is 24 now and just become the dad of a healthy girl. He says the doctors predicted he would not live past his 18th birthday and here he is at 24 still doing well. He's very grateful to Michael and he's sure he's in Heaven now Thanks to Agnes Spent for sharing this wonderful story! This is the REAL legacy Michael left behind! Shared with L.O.V.E by Daz. 3/14/2014 Stressed out"I respect the secrets and magic of nature. I love the Planet, I love the trees. I have this thing for trees - the colors and changing of leaves. I love it. I respect those kind of things." Hello peeps, Back with another scribble... I've been feeling stressed out lately. Juggling job hunting with passions, family, spring cleaning and admin is sometimes pushing your brain over the cliff and your body gets dragged into the abyss too. What do you do? NOPE, NOT sit there like in the piccie. There is ONE beautiful solution to this... Reconnect with nature... Just for a moment, forget the deadlines, the injustice, the unfilled dreams and go for a BIG long walk to go tree spotting. feel the grass tickling your toes... Watching how a butterfly graciously flutters by... See the beautiful blossoms waiting to bloom... Of course, when we feel stressed out, the first thing we do is SHOP till YOU DROP or STUFF ourselves with COMFORT FOOD if you're allowed to eat it anyway... Though, we're giving our body the 'wrong' treats cause it may be a quick fix like a 'sugar rush' to your body but it's soon quenched so TRY to 'avoid' this 'death trap' and find your way to the local park or forest. Besides, it's more HEALING and above all FREE... So, put on those trainers and stretch your legs! I really do love trees cause they stand there so mighty and tall and only want to be loved. They don't demand anything else. So, whenever I feel stressed out from the daily chores, I go for a long strong walk to say 'hello' to the magnificent trees standing proud and tall. "Let's take care of the planet." 3/5/2014 Hold my hand" I'm married to my fans, to G-D, to my children and to life" Today, marks a day where I still feel 'lost'. It's tough to explain peeps who haven't lost anyone how you feel. It's an aching and void feeling. Still you have to claim you're okay cause 'life goes on' hey. It was however, a glorious day 5 years ago, Michael was on the brink of a new adventure and we were all invited till some 'prick' had to ruin it all... "I'll see you in July" These words still 'haunt' me cause I'll be forever waiting for July that will never come, right? "I will treasure your devotion and support forever... You are my Inspiration." "I am forever. I'm the one who came when you fell down..." So, I decided to stroll around in town, get my mind off it... Lift my spirits by discovering new stuff. It was like Michael lead me to that store, beautiful and romantic, a typical English store. It really felt like a piece of Neverland right there. It eased my heart to discover all these pretty things. Oh, I did even buy a romantic cover to lay on my sofa reminding me of the day when I was lost and Michael took my hand and lifted me up. "I am your joy... Your best of joy... I am the moonlight... You are the spring... Our love is a sacred thing..." 2/26/2014 Shine for me"It's your time to shine, we'll be there right with you" This is what Michael told Orianthi during the 'This is it' rehearsals. It was one of the 'lessons' in success we got from our Michael. He just knew how to get the BEST out of people and make them shine. With his encouragement, he opened doors you weren't even aware off. He took you to places you've never been before. Me, being shy and all, dared to stand on a stage and dance for a crowd cause that's what Michael does to you. He makes the 'impossible' happen. This quote has become somehow like a MANTRA for me. A FORCE that ‘propels’ you forward into BLISS. and above all HOPE for a BETTER tomorrow! “You give of your talent, your ability. The talent that was given you by the Heavens. That’s why we’re here, to bring a sense of escapism in time of need." I know that a lot of people wonder WHY we are so LOYAL and WHY Michael? The answer is simple though, Michael has this SPECIAL quality to unleash your TRUE spirit! It’s tough to explain. I mean it’s like explaining why you fall in love with someone. It’s the SOUL connection. “Forever, continue to love, heal and educate the children. " This is what made Michael so darn 'special' ! He watched and studied the great masters on earth and became even bigger! He taught us ‘valuable’ lessons on how to succeed. Perseverance and sacrifice is all part of the plan to become a 'pioneer' in any field you like to shine in. Always believe in yourself, no matter who's around you that's being negative or thrusting negative energy 'vibes' at you, totally block it off cause whatever you believe, you become! Sincerely dedicated to Michael Jackson, our Brightest STAR up in heaven! 2/14/2014 Be my valentine“You never know how long you have with someone, so don’t forget to say I love you while you can.” ~ Michael Jackson ~ Today, marks the day where we 'celebrate' sweet Valentine, the day of the lovers. To me, there should not be just ONE day of L.O.V.E but all the days of your life and beyond you should honour the one you love. I feel Blessed to have known the love Michael shared with us till the Good Lord took him HOME. Yeash, we can fret that it was too soon and even hate the one who 'kicked' him HOME so soon but that will not get you any peace nor solace. It's hard getting your heart broken but you are never alone and eventually the broken pieces 'melt' together again. Reinforced with scars to let the light in. “The courage to be honest and intimate opens the way to self-discovery. It offers what we all want, the promise of love.” ~ Michael Jackson ~ Indeed, 'the promise of love'. It's 2014 now and I'm even baffled on how I feel now. Have I healed? Have I let go or has my heart finally given it a place? Could be 'the promise of love' too that made whole again! Grief and love are funny things! They can either hurt you or heal you at the same time! It doesn't mean the pain is gone. Losing someone you love can never close the gap left in your heart but it can be filled up or closed with a sticker, not just any sticker but one of L.O.V.E. Either be it memories of your loved one you cherish or someone that loves you and understand you've changed but still they wanna be part of your life. “I’m a gentleman, call me old fashioned if you want.” ~ Michael Jackson ~ The cherished memories I have of Michael are now enough to keep me happy and alive cause his L.O.V.E is indeed FOREVER. I admit, I do love Daryll, my perfect boyfriend, but I know I could never give my love to another 'living' boy cause my heart still belongs to Michael. It wouldn't be really fair to the 'man in question' if I won't put him first. That's why I broke off the engagement I once had with a fellow. I realized that I could never love him the way that I love Michael. Sounds silly, hey? Nah, wise I would say! Michael came into my life when I was only 10. Well, going on 11 and the 'spiritual bond' we grew can NEVER be broken and lives on beyond the boundaries of death cause death is merely the beginning of a new life in heaven. Happy Valentine, Michael! Forever yours, Daryll. 1/15/2014 The Power of Michael“Be humble, believe in yourself, and have the love of the world in your heart.”- Michael Jackson Okay, this blog or scribble is dedicated to what I experienced today... Yep, indeed the power of Michael! As you know by now, I'm studying at College which brings many challenges and cool experiences. Right now, we're having 'exams' which is of course quite daunting! We had one on Monday, I wasn't really pleased with that one. I keep fretting that I'm sure I bleeped that one up so whenever in doubt and turmoil, I turn to Michael who encouraged me to just ace the next one. It made me think of Off The Wall vs Thriller. I mean Michael was disappointed about the sales of OTW and promised himself that the next one would blow everyone's mind so I set out to do the same. I pulled out all the stops to really study this one and I think I quite aced this one cause I really had no probs typing up all the answers. "I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am." "Work like there's no tomorrow. Train, strive, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree." ~ Michael Jackson~ So, how did I do it with the power of Michael then? Well, whenever MJJC radio plays, I feel like I'm much more focused and it still staggers me what I'm able to achieve. Coming home, I pondered over it and could only come to this conclusion. My brain still 'feeds' off Michael's energy just like in the good ole' days. I thought for awhile, I lost it but it's back! You know, it feels like when my brain can listen to Michael, it feels 'save' and it allows me to do other stuff too like writing or studying. It sounds scientific or even weird to put it this way but your brain has different operating systems, one that controls all your organs and your breathing, one for movement so I can type this here and of course one for thinking and soaking up knowledge. It seems like the last mentioned operating system ONLY functions 'properly' when my brain hears Michael's music and voice. It's been like this for over 30 years now but ONLY recently have I discovered the 'glitch' when I do stuff without Michael's influence. "I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am." "The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work." ~ Michael Jackson ~ So, with that 'glitch' found... I can move on and become anyone I want with the power of Michael, right? I know, peeps fret at me for being DIFFERENT, duh! I, indeed, have a disability but NOT one that 'destroys' my ability to be SOMEONE in this ever cruel cold world. I owe this mission to Michael, I owe it to myself, I owe it to all the ones that NEED that sparkle of HOPE that having a disability doesn't mean the END of your life but just a NEW exciting beginning to live MORE profoundly then the other that takes everything for granted. "If you don't aim for something, you'll never know whether you could have hit the mark" Your sincerely, The ONE hand writer with the blue brace named Daz. 1/13/2014 Embrace youHello Soulies, Since I read that January is the 'Blues' month, I thought why don't I write an 'uplifting' piece to sooth your minds and lift your hearts. For me, December is more like a 'depressing' month cause it's the end of another year and you make up the balance of what you've done. Maybe, people do this stuff in January with the 'intentions' for the NEW year. Anyway, first piccie really describes what made the HUGE change in my life. When Michael was suddenly swept from under our feet, I found it truly hard and almost impossible to forgive his murderer. So, it meant I lived in a kinda of an 'ivory tower' too for about 4 years 'till I suddenly realized WHY he kept me captive? Ultimately forgiving him, was the missing piece in the healing progress! Let me state that I really don't approve now what Flousy did but holding on to a negative vibe is NOT helping Michael's legacy and from the moment I realized that, I set myself FREE! Next BIG thing was, I fell in LOVE again... Yeah, indeed! How could that be possible if you've lost someone? LOVE is the ONLY thing that HEALS! That's ONE profound lesson I've learnt from Michael. Who's the lucky one then? NO, not just some prick or idiot but Michael as 'odd' as it might sound. Now, everyone reveals what a TRUE gentleman Michael really was, how PROUD and PROTECTIVE he was over his kids, how PASSIONATE he was about his art. I really hate to use the word 'WAS' but then again... It simply made me fall in love with him all over again. LOVE DOES INDEED LIVE FOREVER... It transcends 'death' cause death is mere the beginning of his life in HEAVEN... It gave me the chance to know about the REAL Michael 'buried' under the 'tabloids' and 'hidden' away from the world. I should really print out this quote and hang it above my bed or on a visible place in the office cause this sums up what life should all be about... I mean, I finally found out what I love to do in life! I've finally LOVE what I do! So, it's NEVER too late to start doing stuff that you always wanted to do! Life is indeed simple... We are the ones that make it hard cause we put value in the wrong things and in happiness we loose out! I've seen the edge of heaven... I've even seen the bottom of the abyss but I'm still standing! I fell down hard but I got up and started living my dream, totally unexpected! "It's staggering what a person can do if they only try" ~Michael Jackson~ Today, is the FIRST day of your life! Live it now... Daz. |
AuthorI'm Daz and my Muse is called 'Michael', he likes to keep me awake with his 'inspiration' but without him. I would not be the same person and probably not a writer too. Archives
