Just Stand Up....

okay, i'm a sucker when it comes to songs sung by various artistes haha. i'm not really sure why..could probably be because of the group synergy and the voice projections from each and everyone of them in their own unique and signature styles :). anyhow, i kinda like this song...not because of its catchy tune (interesting yes, but not the least catchy), but because of the motive behind the song...to stand up against cancer.

cancer is a disease not to be joked with..it can be deadly and anyone can get it without ever knowing... that is until it has progressed into something critical.

research has shown that cancer can be hereditary, and i am not ashamed to admit both sides of my family has a history of cancer and i wouldn't be surprised if one day (touch wood) i would be diagnosed as having one as well haha. but seriously...even before knowing what the disease really is (and even before i started smoking hehe), i've always imagined that if i were to live until old age there would be only three types of ailments which may take away my life..cancer, heart failure and kidney failure hahaha :). will talk about this someday because the entry this time is about a song for us to stand up against cancer hehe. so listen, enjoy and do take note :).
