Can you guess what date is today?

It's 1994.

Yes.

It's seriously 1994 and it's August.

To go back on Michael's case, he settled the case with millions of cash because... HE. HAD. TO. GO. TO. REHABILITATION CENTRE. AND. RECEIVE. TREATMENT. I mean...rehabilitation centre? You can imagine how tough it would've been for Michael. I can't even...

And guess what? Locals are saying that MJ settled with money because he wanted to hide his guilt. His guilt my ass. They don't see how much the INNOCENT man was struggling. Ugh. Enough with those. I'm still very disappointed at locals and I swear I want to go back to my own country like RIGHT NOW.

OH. Good news. Michael got married.

Again, yes...

The wedding was held very privately. Guess who's the lucky bride. Ms.Lisa Marie Presley. Oh my Lord, trust me when I say THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER. What makes me happier? Michael seems to be very happy with her and so does Lisa. They're literally the cutest couple I've ever seen. Oh my God.

They made their first appearance as a married couple at MTV VMAs. And he kissed her on stage. YES. MICHAEL DID THAT. I can't stop thinking about that moment because it was so sweet and warmed my heart, till now. I really wish Michael's having the best time of his life now. A big congratulations from me, Michael and Lisa. God, I love them so much.

So... I bet you're wondering why I'm not feeling jealous or sad at all. Well, I was shocked to hear the sudden marriage at first. And there's no reason I should be jealous of Lisa. She was there with him during his tough time and I wasn't. That's the point and it's not a surprise to me that Michael fell in love with her and married her. Why do I even need to feel sad? All I want is my man to be happy in his life and to be happy with somebody he truly loves. That's all I want. And there it is.

On the other hand, Bethany and I are now managing the whole studio. During the last months of 1993, the studio was about to fall apart because of the lack of budget. So, Bethany and I tried to save it by buying the whole thing and changing all the systems and stuff. Guess what? It WORKED. We managed to make more money by giving workshops in different towns.

Now, I'm confident to say that I'm a real dancer who is very well educated with dance knowledge. So is Beth. And our friendship grew more and more that our families are even very close now. We should be because we're handling the whole dance studio by ourselves. We're the bosses. Haha.

Ugh, I forgot to mention about the biggest surprise of my life. My parents officially gave me permission to bring dancing as my career.

.....

.....

.....

WHAT? YES. THEY REALLY DID. They've been watching me enjoying my work for months and finally, they let me do it as my life career. I still can't stop being thankful for that.

1996.

'Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley announce divorce-'

What the heck? It's only been two years and what?

"Ms.Reimers?"

"Oh, yeah, let's continue."

I'm now in Venice and I'm giving workshops in three places. It's crazy how Bethany and I grew in two years. We've been giving workshops all around the world since 1995 and Italy is my last stop.

Sometimes, we can't even travel together. We may go separately to different countries and work at the same time. And...we managed to open two more dance studios in New York and Miami. I'm still surprised that we actually had enough staff and budget for that. Look how much we've grown. It's really crazy.

Update on Michael's music : he released HIStory:Past, Present and Future albums. Yes, "albums" because it has Book I and Book II where Book I includes new songs and Book II contains his old hit songs. And boy, it's BOMB. Michael even included some diss tracks like Money, Tabloid junkie and D.S. WOOP. MY MAN SNAPPED, BABY. And he's about to go on tour again. Little busy-bee as usual.

Speaking of Michael..... Sometimes, I wonder... if he even remembers me... Call me crazy but I still charge the cellphone he gave me, hoping to hear at least a call from him. But it never rang... It's actually no surprise because he's been busy with everything - the divorce, the album release and so on.

*phone rings*

"Hello?"

"Hey, sweetie."

"Mom! Hey!"

"Are you busy?"

"No, just finished my workshop. What's up?"

"Dylan just left and guess what he brought for you."

Oh, Dylan. My new...boy. Hehe.

"What?"

"Michael Jackson's new album, magazines and posters."

"WHAT?"

"You didn't have time to buy them, right?"

"It's been a year but yeah, I couldn't buy one. How did he even get it!?"

"Ask him yourself, honey. You're gonna see him tomorrow maybe?"

"Yeah, I'm coming back tonight and maybe I'll be there in the evening? I don't know. I forgot the flight time."

"Haha, take your time."

"Bye, mom, I gotta go."

"See you!"

We hang up and oh my Lord, Dylan just made my day. We've been dating for some time and today marks the day of the sixth month. I admit I had to take some time to get over my ex-boyfriend, as we know, Michael, and yeah, I managed to find more of happiness and love with Dylan as he was there for me listening to all my non-sense words. Maybe he's the only one who can bear with my busy schedule.

Do you notice something? Why do I always have to be in a relationship where one has tighter and busier schedule than the other? Hahaha. This time, it's me, eh. I'm not saying Dylan is unemployed. He works in his father's company during the day and plays guitar in a band at Will's Bar. Yes, that's where we met. I used to go there with Bethany every week and trust me when I say he was the first one to fall in love with this potato. Oh, wow.
