Switching On the Sun

Even that of what’s beyond could as well be a subject under the sun…

Class of 1985

Establishing an identity through the 80s, a time possibly considered as the best music era, it would be unlikely to have not been attuned with Michael Jackson’s music. Speaking of which, we have been swayed, in any way, by how cool we thought we were singing or dancing to the tune of “Beat It” or “Billie Jean”. At some point, “Thriller” lived up to be indeed thrilling.During such phase when music played a big part in molding our youth into prominence among peers, what we sang was who we were so to speak… As it is, music is influential; it has been and will always be. More intervening is the voice behind it though. That time, our influences somehow were the likes of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Madonna and yes, Michael Jackson among others. A few weeks back, our class of that generation met up not just for the organization of our grand reunion scheduled for next year but to also put up an aid organization of some sort. Seeing old faces doubly meant something as we’ve also grown old from that up-and-coming stage. Changes brought about by the years that passed were evident but the 80’s spirit lives on. We’ve set on possibly perking up the occasion with “down memory lane” for a theme.In a time we’re nostalgically reminiscent of the good old days, from what was “it” then to everything associated with the 80s, an eminent figure from that of our budding stage passed away. Michael Jackson was 50. Visualizing our get-up then induces amusement. We were expressing ourselves to look like local versions of those idolized figures at that time. Opposite the music was how 80’s dress is deemed yet we felt so cool with it back then. Presently, we dress up appropriately. Except for the color of his skin, Michael Jackson, however, has supported the same look over the years. It was sort of a trademark only he can pull off. And together with his music, it’s a legacy.Learning from it, allow ourselves to be induced by an 80’s figure once again if only to leave a legacy. MJ’s death may have been caused for everybody’s realization about the importance of leaving something for the next generation or class not just to cherish about but also learn from...In our case, slowly getting our batch mates together for some cause, we need to make use of having been along that formative period and prove we can be as leading with one voice. The pledge from that of every plan could lose its promise if it will remain as such. Putting it into action could be a journey like that of MJ’s; along the way he was castigated but his music is his redressing foundation. There will be ups and downs as we have our share of “musical disharmony”. Nevertheless, with whatever good we can generate, it may not be enough to vindicate our “out-of-tune” moments but at least it will serve its purpose for all its worth.Certainly, we can’t pull-off dressing up like somebody if pretension would be the driving force. We can sing one tune though and ascertain our class to be from that of the best music era… “Remember the Time”? Or we could just “Heal the World”…

Substantialiscious

When one is almost able to say something yet can’t seem to put it into words with the right term at the tip of his tongue, it’s perhaps due to the composition of different words conveying the same meaning. Of all the possible terminologies, there could be one that can be used as fittingly as to express the exact message.Despite these many words, language, vocabulary, expressions, terms, dialect, idiom, lingo or what have you (case in point), neologisms are still created. Is there a need for new words if what’s already spoken or written is understandable as meant? Another thing, there are even considered highfalutin words of which its usage isn’t preferred if only because of its pomposity. I believe that the only reason as to why these supposedly ostentatious words are considered such is because it’s not often used for fear of being misunderstood. “Ostentatious?! Can’t you just say grandiose? Or even that’s considered pompous, I mean showy?”Duh? time… I mean, the time has come when “duh?” is commonly used more than its now understandable connotation “Are you stupid?” The use of simple words may be all that is needed to basically get your message across but is that of what’s being imparted precisely comprehended. For instance, where words play a vital part in manifesting feelings, “love” and “adore” could mean the same but saying “I love you” could be just that compared to the frankly more passionate “I adore you”.There is a good reason as to there is an advantage for the formation of as many words. However, simplifying a word isn’t the use for a simpler synonym but its rate of recurrence in usage. Getting used to hearing or reading it renders it to be as ordinary. The rebuttal of the majority to understand the expediency (oops sorry, I mean suitability) of word usage confirms their ease to rather settle for unfussiness (I could have said simplicity but…) perhaps or bears out their contentment with “just that” more than “that’s it!”Substantialiscious is a neologism I’ve read from a Sneakers’ wrapper meaning: the weight of something when you weigh it with your tongue. Is there even such a word? Well, until now there is. It’s not common as it’s not ordinarily used considering the point being who would even bother to know that feeling with your tongue. Does it have a synonym? Highfalutin? Could it be used to describe that seemingly mind-boggling weight at the tip of your tongue when weighing up for a better term for something?I really don’t know if you understand what I’m trying to get at. I can’t effortlessly explain it the way it would be more comprehensible. I can’t quite find the right words. It’s at the tip of my tongue. It’s substantialiscious…
