Today is indeed a sad day. Michael Jackson isn’t the only guy the world lost today. Farrah Fawcett’s death too is making a huge buzz earlier than MJ. At age 62, Farrah lost her life to that two-year battle with anal cancer.

I know her a lot because my mother used to admire her during the 70s. She was one of the girls behind Charlie’s Angels! She was successful in her time – she was followed around by paparazzi and fans used to admire and even imitate her look. Her curly locks are the ones that seemed to launch her to the popularity of her career.

Farrah Fawcett will not be forgotten too.

I just woke up today to learn the news the Michael Jackson, the famous pop icon singer, just died from heart attack. He’s only 50.

He was rushed through an ambulance to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and in later news he was found out that he was not doing well. At 3:20 PM doctors were unable to revive him from his cardiac arrest. He was declared dead at that time.

Despite the disturbing controversy with the children that Michael Jackson was accussed of, I still came to love a lot of his greatest hits songs during the height of his career. I used to sing “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” in my parents minus one collection. His famous “Thriller” too was something I enjoyed in my childhood years. “She’s Out of Life” was also something that made me teary.

I used to love his dark skinned appearance before he decided to switch his skin color, which Michael attributes that to a skin disease.

This video features a young Michael Jackson singing “Ben”.

One of the best ways to keep kids learning during vacation is by letting them attend summer camps. These Summer Camps are a terrific way for these kids to supplement what they had learned in school.

In summercamps.com there are a variety of summer camps that cater to the different interests. Does your child love nature? Wilderness camps may cater his interest. Does she dream of being an actress? Let her attend film camps. If your kid loves geeky stuff, those geeky computer camps may be the ones that will delight your kid.

I went through the summercamps.com and realized that this one is isolated to a specific location or country. This is indeed an international website that attempts to list down summer camps in several countries. The site does not only list down US-based ones which are dominantly featured on the front page – a careful search shows summer camps offered in Canada, Ireland and France. Although there are many countries listed on the website, not all countries were able to get their summer camps listed on the website.

I’ve taken the widget from the site and featured that below for your convenience – check out the events that are featured on those summer camps located near you.

Jodi Arias surely made her name famous, not because of a great deed, but because she is the primary suspect on the murder of Travis Alexander.

Travis was killed by a gunshot and some 27 stab wounds on his body. Apparently, the evidence points out to his former girlfriend Jodi Arias, who was at the site of the crime when it happened. His digital camera’s memory card spoke well of the few moments of his life, even if the camera was attempted to be destroyed. Aside from the nude pictures that the couple had with each other, police were also able to find pictures of a person that was bleeding on the bathroom floor.

Travis Alexander is a motivational speaker while Jodi Arias is an aspiring photographer. Travis grew up in the Mormon faith, and he had somehow influenced Jodi to convert to that faith. Despite the fact that pre-marital sex in that religion is not allowed, the couple always had their several sexual encounters even after their break up.

I think the police are doing a good job at finding out the killer. Jodi Arias fully denies the crime, but the strong evidence points out that she was the one who took out Travis’s life.

Today my internet connection isn’t working on my favor, so I decided to leave home and spend the rest of the day outside. The day started out fine, I sent off my kid to school (something my father does for me), then went off to pay the bills.

After that, I spent the rest of the day contemplating my life goals, and what I really want to do. A few moments later I eventually I found myself wishing that I am on a vacation on the southern part of my country (Philippines), or visiting some South East Asian country, just like what my still-single-and-no-kid college batchmates had been posting in their Friendster profiles.

If life turned out differently for me – still single and having no kid at this age, then I would have also be like them, spending part of my earnings travelling to places in and out of my country. Like my old schoolmates I would have ventured into adventures that I can also show off. I would probably be booking an accommodation that I like from Accor Hotels City Super Sale to enjoy the beautiful Singapore.

But life turned out differently for me, so most of my earnings go to meet the needs of my kid for her education and her future. Those awesome vacation plans will have to wait for a while - eventually my kid and I will soon find a way to spend time together and enjoy the city of Singapore, and not just watch much of Crooked Houses on TV
