RIP Whitney

 I would be lying if I say that I was never touched (at least emotionally) by Whitney.

In the 80's, there were times when our dad would play Whitney in the car.  In the late 80's up to the early 90's, we would hang out in our neighbor's house and one of our favorite past times was to sing on their karaoke.  She had those minus one and multiplex casette tapes with Whitney songs such as Saving All My Love For You, Greatest Love of All and I Wanna Dance With Somebody.  Of course there were Gary V songs, and a lot of Debbie Gibson's and Tiffany's too...  Hahaha! We sure didn't have much choice then!

I also remember watching The Bodyguard with my sister in a small cinema near our village.

A few years back, I attended a birthday party of one of my childhood playmates.  We really had a Blast From The Past when she suddenly surprised us with a song number... "Clock strikes upon the hour and the sun begins to fade, Still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away...". Ok, name that song....  

And then, a couple of weeks back, my encounter with something Whitney was when my favorite DJ Chico and his fellow DJ Gino were belting out "And I.... Will always Love You..." after describing their 'moment' during their book signing while being escorted by bodyguards in and out of the mall.  It was so hilarious.

And so this morning, when I read Z's text that Whitney is gone, i thought that I really had to post something about it.  Chico wrote something really touching, and I must say, well said.  Check it out here.

RIP Whitney.
