Goodbye Francis Magalona. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC.

Known as “Master Rapper,” Francis M. is considered as one of the most influencial icons in the industry of rap/hiphop music. Francis was diagnosed with leukemia August of 2008 and was supposed to have a bone-marrow transplant this year.

He passed away at the Medical City in Mandaluyong around noon today, Friday 6th of March 2009. Condolences to the family and friends of Francis Magalona.

RIP Francis M.

Here’s the article from GMANews.TV

Vic Sotto confirmed the news over GMA’s noontime show Eat Bulaga and asked for a minute of prayer for the eternal repose of the singer-composer’s soul.

Magalona’s battle with leukemia was made public last year. In a public statement last April 14, he admitted he was battling with the malady.

A blood drive was subsequently announced for the singer.

Unknown to the most, the 44-year-old singer-composer recently survived a delicate medical condition days before he was dispatched from a hospital.

“Akala ko kasi magki-Christmas ako sa ospital, e, because I had a very, very, very close brush with death last December 4. I went into septic shock and it was a very scary moment,” he said in an earlier interview.

It was announced last year that Magalona was scheduled for a bone marrow transplant.

“My doctor said I’m in remission right now after my third chemo cycle. So, my next move would be to do the bone marrow transplant and I’m very happy to announce that I was able to find a match. One of my sisters from the States we have the same tissue typing so she would be my donor,” he added. – Amita O. Legaspi and Mark Joseph Ubalde, GMANews.TV

These two hotties are the latest Pinoy singing sensation in YOUtube. Behind the name Rin and the Rox are Rin or Erin Paula is 20 years old and pure Filipino while Rox or Roxanne, 21, is half-pinoy half-white. They are both based in California, USA.

“Recently, I found these two singers on the internet. These two girls are singing in the bathroom. So they are fantastic. If you are watching right now, please, please come on the show if you are watching. We have a wonderful bathroom here… But seriously, you are great. So please, please come on the show if you would like to,” Ellen said.

Hope Rin and the Rox makes it big in the international music scene.

Twilight mania is just all over the world. Here in the Philippines it’s been in the big screens for like a month now. I was kinda late in watching the film since I didn’t want to watch with a massive crowd.

Suddenly, everyone wants to get a hand on the book version of Twilight and it’s continuations, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn. If you’re satisfied reading pdf files, then you’ll thank me for this – here’s a link to all four books: CLICK (5.7mb)
