"In a world filled with hate, we must dare to hope.

In a world filled with anger, we must dare to comfort.

In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream,

In a world filled with distrust, we must dare to believe"

~ Michael Jackson ~

I have been tweeting since 2 years ago, - and it's almost 2 and a half year since Michael passed away! I can’t believe time flies as a blink of an eye.
And you’ve realize everything has changed when you see your followings suddenly decreasing, which means s/he deactivated their accounts (not that I’ve been blocked, lol) – your timeline is not moving as fast as it used to be, which means they’re less active as they used to be, or.. when you realize you have more followers than your tweets (that’s me!), which never had I imagine I’d have this lots of followers, more than 8300 followers meantime.
But one thing remain, the love that will never be dismissed, even with time.

The way of the Love may change, but not the essence of love for Michael. For a year after the tragic and sudden news on 25 June 2009, I used to cry whenever I watch him on the television, hear his songs on the radio or any public space, noticing that he had gone for real, noticing that my dream to meet and hug him is now only a...literally a "good night dream". And as the time pass by, lately his songs on the radio brings smile in my face. Why? Because I know his words are true: "Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it [my music] I know I will live forever.” (~ Michael Jackson), and he does, he is now living among us through his music which contains all his messages.

We can never bring him back, that’s for sure. We do want for justice, Michael said there were a conspiracy around him, "In my Sony Catalog, is all the Beatles music, ahem, all of the music I own – I own Sly and the Family Stone, I- I own such a volume of so many, I own Elvis – so many Elvis songs and it’s a huge catalog, very valuable, it’s worth a lot of money. And there is a big fight going on right now, as we speak about that. Now, I can’t say whether or not – I can’t comment on it, but there’s a lot of conspiracy, I’ll say that – conspiracy going on as we speak." (~Michael Jackson, 2005)

and of course we want them who involved are given the punishment as it has to be! Murray has been found guilty, but we also know that he’s only the fall guy. They are many of them behind his death, namely $ony and AEG, and other who conspired againts him, even the media that influenced public’s view on him, that’s my opinion. But look what they done lately: documentary movies, post-humanous album, tributes, books, and the list continues. He really is WORTH more in dead. I’m mad, I’m in rage, I’m so upset everytime I hear this news.

Even more, the exploitation of MJ3, most of public – even the fans seem to forget his efforts to protect his kids: “I’ve been living in a fish bowl all my life, and I want my children to have a normal life.” (~Michael Jackson)

Ironically, Prince and Paris seems happy for doing those things, they love their father so much and this is one of many ways they know in order to give it back. Could we blame it to the Jacksons, knowing that Michael had made some distance with them before he passed away? and now they used his children for this???

Prince and Paris are 16 and 14 now, too young to have a comprehensive understandings of what had happened during his father’s 45 years achievement in the entertainment industry, or even Blanket... So I will say, too sad that *maybe* THAT's the only way they know HOW to give it back, *maybe* no significant others around them who can tell them what to do. And, *maybe* if Elizabeth is still alive, she can tell every single thing about it, a lovely lady that Michael loved and TRUST so much.

You know, *maybe* isn’t an answer, though we always try and make the answer more than maybe.

Anyway, I think I’ve gone to far (lol), my point is, there are many ways to show your love for Michael, I kinda keep distance from the twitter or any online activities lately. My love for Michael is personal, none of those tributes, documentaries, books, and any of those profitting things would decrease nor increase my love for him - simply because it's not directly from his own.

I have a dedicated blog for him – but then, I’m not a good writer, and English is not my mother language, so I do have some problems with it. I also have youtube channel, but I’m not a good movie editor and I’m lack of HQ video of him. And I do have a tumblr page, but noticing that tumblr has lots of talented artists who dedicate their artworks, edits, and gifs for Michael, it makes me quite inferior. So, most of it, I have a twitter account, a more simple way to do, the only thing I have to do is read his books, read or watch his statements, interviews, speeches, home videos, or anything, then quote some great words that are his messages for us. My blog, youtube channel, tumblr page, and especially my twitter account: @MJacksonwords are just several ways to show that I’m still be here for Michael.

If people think that I only quoted his words from those “quote sites” on the internet, have to say that I’m sorry but I don’t rely on them because I need to read or listen to the complete sentences, and apparently they usually has no source of the quotes.

Sometimes I’m selfish, I quoted words that I needed him to tell me. For instance, when I feel down of visioning not gonna achieve my dreams, my favorite quote is: “No matter what, no star is too far to reach. And you never give up.”(~Michael Jackson) - I even collected and post his words on my blog post here: "Keep the Faith" - Those words will keep me stronger to move my feet again.

Or when I feel so much blessed after seeing a beautiful sunset, which I always love sunset and sunrise, I quoted: “You see the most beautiful sky where the clouds are hues of orange and purple. God, it's so beautiful.” (~Michael Jackson) - or this one: "There’s a reason why God made the sunset red or purple or green. It’s beautiful to look at – it’s a minute of joy. Escapism and wonder is influence. It makes you feel good, and that allows you to do things." (~Michael Jackson), and I know that he was there enjoying the sunset with me.

Other times, I just want to encourage other whom I see were feeling down, I tweeted so they remember Michael’s advice: “My best advice is to believe in yourself, know there’s a tomorrow, walk tall... don’t pay attention to the garbage.” (~Michael Jackson) – even though those words are meant for the tabloid, but it was how Michael dealt with the negativism around him.

There are also sometimes when I just want him to be remembered as a human being, like us, who like to do things like we do: “I made a wish every time I saw a shooting star.” (~Michael Jackson) – well, we do make a wish, too, right? :)

And, remembering how playful he was, “I love a good water balloon fight.” -- "If you’re wondering why I love supersoakers so much, it’s because if you come to Neverland, it’s a rule that you are bound to get wet. Either be thrown in the pool, or you have a water balloon fight or a supersoaker fight. And… [smiles] I love all of the above." (~Michael Jackson) - lol remember when he said this? This was from the home private movies ^_^

(lollll)

"I'm the Michael Jordan of water balloon fight." ~ Michael Jackson ~

But mainly, my twitter account is to spread his messages, which is love.

My favorites are from his books, especially Dancing the Dream "I wrote a book called Dancing the Dream. It was more autobiographical than Moonwalk," (~Michael Jackson),

or from the Oxford Speech: "the foundation of all human knowledge, the beginning of human consciousness, must be that each and every one of us is an object of love. Before you know if you have red hair or brown, before you know if you are black or white, before you know of what religion you are a part, you have to know that you are loved." (~Michael Jackson),

and others are from his songs: “Man In the Mirror” ♪♫ If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change ♫♪ very powerful message!!

Oh, my favorite is “Earth Song” – which I usually followed with this words: “We've been treating Mother Earth the way some people treat a rental apartment. Just trash it and move on.” (~Michael Jackson)

One of the best for me is from the Shmuley's tape (I know, I don’t like that man either...), "Follow the Golden Rule. Be kind to your neighbors, love them as much as you would love yourself, do unto others..." (~Michael Jackson)

And so on, and so on and on on... lol
There was some times when I don’t have time to tweet, since I don’t have time to re-read his words again, but then the keep increasing followers encourages me to do so. I like to think that as if Michael reminds me to keep spreading his words, lots of people need those words, like I do most of the time. A dear friend of mine said even I can not tweet every single hours, at least do one tweet per day. And so I’m trying to do it now. So, forgive me for not being able to be on twitter everytime, but I will try to keep maintain my account, and hopefully with many followers who RT MJ’s words, his messages will always be remain in the heart of the fans, and touches all people generally.

Last, but not least: I never say this on twitter nor I ever express how much I’m very thankful for following my twitter account: MJacksonwords. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Thank you for has been with me for 2 years, I love you all, and I love you most, Michael!

"What one wishes is to be touched by truth and to be able to interpret that truth so that one may use what one is feeling and experiencing, be it despair or joy,

in a way that will add meaning to one's life and will hopefully touch others as well.

That is art in its highest form.

Those moments of enlightenment are what I continue to live for."

To Make My [His] Father Proud

The young kid who wanted to make his father proud, and his mother smile ♥

on 3:06 ~ his name, 'Michael' itself means 'who is like God'

lyrics:

To make my father proud

To make my mother smile

I need not conquer worlds or fame

Nor set the pace for style

If I can follow through

On what they gave me as my tools

I'll find a way to sail my course

Avoiding ships of fools

If I don't come up, number one

I'll stand not well apart

As one for numbered numbers

When knowing in my heart

I've done all to be done

To always do my best

By listening to me, myself

So he can do or else

For without compromise,

shall flower the fruit of constant care

In my eleventh hour,

I'll be a man when

To face whatever falls my way

Prepare that utter shame

To just be called a part of God

For which I have been named

A man and woman's youngest son

While growing, still a child

And that will make my father proud

And make my mother smile

Proud

I do not own all these clips, and all these clips are from the movie of "Motown on Showtime: Michael Jackson, the Legend Continues" (1988)

Keep the Faith

Suffer from low self-esteem?

Don't believe in yourself?

Have lots of doubts in life?

BUT you still wanna succeed in life?

Still have dreams to reach?

Hey, KEEP your FAITH!

Here's what Michael taught us:

"You can't do your best when you're doubting yourself.

If you don't believe in yourself, who will?

Just doing as well as you did last time is not good enough.

I think of it as the "Try to get what you can" mentality."

~ Michael Jackson ~ [Moonwalk]

(In Photos: Michael Jackson wrote this in the early 80's in his home in Encino California. This really defines how Michael wanted to become the greatest by not only working so hard but also conditioning his mind. First thing that comes to my mind after seeing this is I want to share this amazing writing to everyone especially to young MJ Lovers out there that like Michael, every dream is possible as long as you are willing to put your heart and soul into it. Passionate Michael became THE GREATEST because of he is willing to work so hard (no short cut), to sacrifice and also condition his mind. He fights for his dream. No wonder, everyone looks up to Michael and wanted to be like him. Michael will continue to inspire... It's up to us now how we will fight for our dream like Mike. Or it can never be done :) FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAM #MJFAM! )

If you wanna be like Michael, on @MJJPhotos has said it all :)

REMEMBER this:

"No matter what, the most powerful thing in the world is

the human mind and prayer, and belief in your self and confidence and perseverance.

No matter how many times you do it, you do it again until it's right.

And always believe in your self.

And not matter who's around you that's being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off.

Because whatever you believe, you become.

~ Michael Jackson, 2001 ~

I believe, Michael's fans, MJFam want to be mike-like,

and as Michael's ambassador, we should practice his words in our daily life.

If something or even someone bothers you, in every precedents of life, ask yourself, 'what would Michael do and/or say?'

"Even if you're sweeping floors or painting ceilings,

do it better than anybody in the world, no matter what it is that you do.

Be the best at it,

and have a respect for others, and be proud of yourself..

and to honor; be honorable,"

~ Michael Jackson, 2001 ~

I'm not always have confident on myself either, I have low self-esteem and many doubts, but yes, I still have many goals to reach.. and reading these words has made encouraged me to step forward realizing my dreams.

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved

and you leave this world knowing the same,

then everything that happens in between can he dealt with.

A professor may degrade you, but you will not feel degraded,

a boss may crush you, but you will not be crushed,

a corporate gladiator might vanquish you, but you will still triumph.

How could any of them truly prevail in pulling you down?

For you know that you are an object worthy of love.

The rest is just packaging."

~ Michael Jackson, 2001 ~

Here's my favorite quote of Michael that had triggered me moving out my comfort zone to reach my dreams and goals:

"And no matter what, no star is too far to reach and you never give up."

~ Michael Jackson, 2005 ~

Do Something in Our Small Way

Continuing my previous post, here is something I want to share...

It was last week when me and friends met to laugh and chat about anything concerning our life events where then we ended up in questioning "What is life?" from our point of views. There are many answers,

#1: "My scenario of life has been written, and we're the actor/actress of the scenario that we have to act the best we can be"

#2: "I see me as a puppet that some higher force taking control of me"

#3: "Life is.. up and down"

#4: "Life is.. when tears and cheers meet and blend onto each other"

On that conversation, we started to talk about the phenomena that we see and watch almost everyday...

the war in the middle east,

the corruption that never stop,

the twisted history that has been written,

politician with their hypocrisy and lies,...

and also those the ironic and unfair life that we meet almost everyday:

beggars in every road site,

homeless children,

physical disabled people that keep struggling to live their life

Until we then turned to ourselves, Us: doing nothing about it.. !!!

But, then, we kept saying:

~ "How can we help?" ~

"I don't believe any organization that already interrupted by their hidden agendas"

"If we give money to them (e.g: beggars), then we only help them for some short time. Not to mention that they all ARE managed by someone who used them to gain moneys"

..............

~ You know, perhaps that excuses are true, but those were ended by this story:

It was after Sunday services when they saw a lady selling her cakes.

One of them wanted to buy, so they called the lady. And beyond their belief, the price was so expensive for the cake. But it was too late, they decided to buy it instead.

The one that wanted to buy at the first place said, "Why is it so expensive? Ohhhh, I doubt that lady really needs the money!", angrily of feeling disappointed and being used of her generosity.

And the other replied, "Hey, why upset? We just wanted to help, but if our intend is being used, then it is beyond us."

I think that story answers any excuses.

"But if someone wants to do something good, they just can.

They don’t really need to worry about all that other stuff.”

~ Michael Jackson ~

Then, suddenly the cafe played "Man in The Mirror"....

- long silence, as we realized the sign of approval from above-

♫ I'm starting with the man in the mirror


I'm asking him to change his ways


And no message could have been any clearer


If you wanna make the world a better place


Take a look at yourself and then make a change ♫

and if there's any excuse that may come up later,

then we should realize that the main problem is within us,

the problem is... us!

Last Friday was the Earth day, that coincidentally also Good Friday -

Team It's All For Love-blog posted a very touching story that I want to quote the bible when

Jesus said, "Anything you did for any of my people here, you also did for me."

(Matthew 25: 40)

Have we done anything for HIM?

And what have we done to make this world a better place for living?

I simplified the question: What have you done to yourself to make a better person?

Is it enough just to talk about it?

Is it enough just to make plan?

and what is our concrete action?

"We are all doing too much sitting back, and reading and watching TV

saying how awful it is and NOT actually doing something about it."

~ Michael Jackson ~

Remember this song....

♫... Maybe you and I can't do great things

We may not change the world in one day

But we still can change some things today

In our small way...

♫

Thank you, lovely Elizabeth

Grace with beauty, charm and talent

I've posted quotes of Michael about Elizabeth in my previous blog, "What a Friendship Means.." tho those words are not enough to express how special their friendship was..

Q: "So you're Wendy and Michael is Peter?" I had asked Elizabeth Taylor afterwards.

Elizabeth: "Yeah.Yeah.There's a kind of magic between us."

"Elizabeth is also like a mother–and more than that.

She's a friend.She's Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, the Queen of England and Wendy."

~ Michael Jackson ~

Have you ever feel a true friendship?

A friend who will speak on your behalf when you no longer can say a word

A friend who will be there for you when the world leaves you alone

A friend who facing the triumph and disaster with holding hands together

A friend, who publicly defends you when no one believe you..

and a friend, who love you as being you, because no one is you-er than YOU..

And the honesty is there,

and that's enough for a true friendship...

“Elizabeth’s friendship is like the perfect jewels she owns — indestructible and eternal.”

~ Michael Jackson ~

So many tribute had been made to honor Michael and Liz' friendship, from making graphic artworks, Gifs, video, and even a dedicated side for Elizabeth, here are my favorites:

by @MJJ777HeTheWo

Last, but not least, a dedicated site for Dame Elizabeth Taylor: http://elizabethweloveyou.tumblr.com by @MyMJJTribute

here's one of her artwork:

More glimpse of their friendship:

“It is 1993, and this will be Michael Jackson’s very first Christmas.

It has taken me… I would think about 5 years of talking him into celebrating Christmas at Neverland because I understood that if you are a Jehovah’s Witness you don’t celebrate Christmas.

When he quit being a a Jehovah’s Witness I said to Michael,

‘I think Christmas is a wonderful way of celebrating love. It’s a celebration of love.’

And I can’t see Christmas without Michael or Michael without Christmas.”

~ Elizabeth Taylor ~

source

Michael: “But what Elizabeth didn’t know was that I was planning a surprise for her also.”

Elizabeth: Gasps “Oh my God! That’s amazing! I love it! Oh thank you!”

Michael: “You’re welcome.”

“The gift that I gave to Elizabeth, to me, it was unique. It looks like a painting but it isn’t. It’s a tapestry. This guy did it piece by piece.” ~ Michael Jackson ~

On February 19, 1994, at "The Jackson Family Honors" event held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Today we honor Elizabeth Taylor for who she is, as much as what she does.

For me, Elizabeth Taylor is the ultimate humanitarian, because she is the embodiment of love, compassion, faith, and integrity and she has been that ideal for hundreds and millions of fans over the five decades of her illustrious career.

Elizabeth began her career when she was nine years old and since then, has starred in some of the greatest of all American films. She has been, and she continues to be, one of the most celebrated women of the twentieth century. I know, from having the honor of being a friend of Elizabeth Taylor's, that she's in no need of another trophy or plaque to recognize her humanitarian work on behalf of the fight against AIDS.

And I also know Elizabeth is here tonight not for any ego gratification, but because this gives her another chance to get the all important message out to the public. The message of AIDS awareness and the need for compassion and the efforts to find a cure.

To the formation of AMFAR in 1986 and her own Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, no one has done more to fight this dreaded disease.

But in knowing Elizabeth, I know her reward comes from the work itself, from the small battles won in the all-out war, from the gains she's been responsible for by eliminating the problem for the world to see and from the unspoken things of the victims who's lives she has enhanced during their times on earth. In the midst of my recent trials and tribulations, Elizabeth stood by my side with unwavering strength and support.

Elizabeth stands for truth.

She's immune to criticism and unfearful to any challenge and places the highest truth in the wisdom of her own heart and the direct knowledge of her own intuition.

She is not swayed by public opinion, because she knows in the end truth always triumphs.

Elizabeth, I love you and we honor you not only for what you stand for, but also for the magnificence of who you are.

The world is a better place because of your existence.

Because Elizabeth is so unselfish in her devotions to humanity, it is doubly fitting that she be the recipient of the Jackson Family Honors award."

~ Michael Jackson ~

I've wrote a poem about friendship few years ago,

and I thought about this poem when I heard the news about Elizabeth, and flashed back on their special friendship..

“BE COOL and RELAX”

'Cause I’ll be there when you need me

I have two eyes to look after you

I have a mouth to advice you

I have two ears to hear you

I have a nose to smell

and warn the danger that may came after you…

But…. That’s not all…

I still have two hands to lift you up

when you’re down

And I still have two foots to walk beside you

when you’re alone

So.. Don’t Worry….

'cause I’ll be here for you

Just… Be Cool.. and Relax..

And my mind are full with our memories,

that always kept in my heart

...

"[Elizabeth Taylor and I] we're like brother and sister, mother and son, lovers...

it's a potpourri... it's something special." ~ Michael Jackson ~

source

♬ Remember the time I was alone

You stood by my side and said:

"Let's be strong"

You did all these tings

That only a true friend can do.. ♬

♬... Elizabeth, I love you

The world knows your work now

Above the things on Earth now

I pray one day I'll be just like... you... ♬

source

"It's so wonderful to be with her [Elizabeth].

I can really relax with her, because we've lived the same life and experienced the same thing"

~ Michael Jackson ~

and so, this beautiful friendship continues in Heaven,

lovely friends re-united again, only this time, it will last forever...

source for this gifs creator

Thank you, lovely Elizabeth, for always be there for Michael,

We love you more...

Both of you are safe now from those tabloid junkies :)

We promise, to keep your legacy alive, to spread your messages, and to continue your humanitarian efforts...

"If it is not to make the world better what is money for?" ~ Elizabeth Taylor ~

I've saved @DameElizabeth's tweets in here, if any of you want to re-read them again: http://mjacksonwords.blogspot.com/p/dameelizabeths-tweets.html

Will You Be There

27th Nov, 1991

On occasion of MTV's 10th Anniversary Show, he appears live on stage to perform songs, 'Black Or White' and 'Will You Be There', the latter being included in the videoclip as part of a montage of other stage performances of the song.

A gospel choir of various ages joined Michael for Will You Be There, with an angel, performed by Angela Ice, flying down to Michael and putting her wings around him symbolizing hope.

--------

"I wrote "Will You Be There?" at my house, "Never Land" in California. ...

I didn't think about it hard. That's why its hard to take credit for the songs that I write, because I just always feel that its done from above. I feel fortunate for being that instrument through which music flows. I'm just the source through which it comes. I can't take credit for it because its Gods work. He's just using me as the messenger."

~ Michael Jackson, 1992 ~

"I call it my giving tree, because it inspires me.

I love climbing trees in general, but this tree I love the most, because I climb up high and I look down on it's branches, and it gives me -- I just love it! So many ideas! I've written so many of my songs in this tree.

I've written Heal the World in this tree, Will You Be There, Black or White, Childhood."

~ Michael Jackson, 2002 ~

Hold me like the River Jordan

And I will then say to thee

You are my friend

Carry me like you are my brother

Love me like a mother

Will you be there?

When weary tell me will you hold me?

When wrong, will you mold me?

When lost will you find me?

But they told me a man should be faithful

And walk when not able

And fight till the end

But I'm only human

Everyone's trying to control me

Seems that the world's got a role for me

I'm so confused

Will you show to me

You'll be there for me

And care enough to bear me?

Hold me, show me

Lay your head lowly

Gently and boldly

Carry me there

I'm only human

Carry, carry

Carry me boldly

Gently and slowly

Carry me there

I'm only human

Lift me

Lift me up carefully

I'm weary and falling

I know you're there

But do you still care?

In Our Darkest Hour

In My Deepest Despair

Will You Still Care?

Will You Be There?

In My Trials

And My Tripulations

Through Our Doubts

And Frustrations

In My Violence

In My Turbulence

Through My Fear

And My Confessions

In My Anguish And My Pain

Through My Joy And My Sorrow

In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow

I'll Never Let You Part

For You're Always In My Heart.
