The Chicken that Crossed the Road



Move on. The dreaded two-word statement that I already consider a paragraph. Masyadong malaman.

In your obsession stage maiisip mo 'yan, pero 'di mo gagawin 'cause you don't want to, not because you can't. So, I researched ways on how I can be of help to those who are nearing the crazy line (accdg to te's previous post). Coincidentally, I landed on a post that hit me, the method on how you can.... terminate your feelings for him. Coincidence? I think not!
Click here if you want to see.

For sure, magdadalawang isip ka i-click 'yan. Haha. The aforementioned post is actually helpful, that's what I always do whenever I want to forget that strong feeling I get from being a fan girl at ng matigil na ang walang humpay na pag-stalk sa iniisip kong makikilala ko din at makakatuluyan in the future. Apparently, you have a different level of obsession when your dreamboy is somehow "easier to reach", local ba. Masmatindi. Kasi, kaya mo siya masundan kung nasan siya, through the help of his updates and your persevering nature to meet your goal---- ang makilala siya at makilala ka niya.

Magsasawa ka rin naman sooner or later. And the love that you feel for that person will be replaced with just adoration. That's where it all started anyway, right?


To help speed up the process, another thing that you can do, which I recommend (not that I'm a specialist or anything) is to find an outlet; gumawa ka rin ng blog like what we did, or better yet, fan art.


Art therapy is helpful. It is an expression and release of what you feel. Kumbaga sa timba, kapag umapaw na ang tubig, kailangan mo itong gamitin/ bawasan para 'di masayang.


"It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight."


Quoted here.


You don't have to be an artist to do this, and you don't have to conceptualize that much, 'di naman severe ang case natin. More on the depression, stress and gaining insight ang focus. There's no harm in trying right? Remember: no effort is wasted. If ever you do not succeed in something, you always learn from it. Malay mo ito pa maging daan para mabawasan ang creepy fan girling mo sa kanya.


Here's what I did:

























And here are some that we found in the internet:

Segue: look at Andi Eigenmann's tweet. Even the prettiest of the prettiest has her fan girl mode on!



Dumarami na talaga tayong mga hopia (hoping) but I'm happy to say that somehow I'm already moving on :p And you should too! Do not forget that you also have a life to live. Be in awe of your dreamboys but know your limitations ;p Hope this helped!

See you again soon my fellow Hopias! :D

Getting It Bad

If I can pour my heart out on this post, I'll just type "I LOVE YOU JERIC FORTUNA" until the end. I already saw other girls saying this online and this is also true for myself: "Ngayon lang ako naging fan girl dahil sayo." Dahil sayo, Jeric Marco Fortuna

I believe that there are thin lines between fangirling, obsessing and just being plain crazy. And right about now, I'm not sure if I'm already bordering on the crazy side. So I actually sought for help.

(credits to Ms. Faye Favis' formspring account and thank you ma'am for answering my question.)

I know I'm not the only girl going through this. Pero bakit ganon Lord, why can't I be the one who's famous then tweets naman ng ibang tao yung di ko mapapansin sa sobrang dami? Or why can't I be one of those lucky people whom he's close with. Bakit di niya ko naging kapatid? Or at least kapit-bahay? Para naman di siya masyadong hard to reach.

Selfish questions. That's when I know I'm getting it bad.


*
Just recently, a girl whose sister is diagnosed with Cancer asked him through Twitter if they (Jeric and her sister) can meet. These were his tweets: 
Read Tin Salonga's blog here.

No one would be heartless enough for that blog. I was crying when I finished it. 

Namamaga na sobra yung mata niya and I asked what’s up and she said “Talo sila Kuya Idol.” Makikita mo yung lungkot sa mukha at boses niya. She also added na “Last year na niya to. Ayokong malungkot idol ko. Kapag gumaling ako, pupuntahan ko siya sa UST tapos sasabihin ko sakanyang wag na siyang malungkot kasi sobrang galling niya para sakin.”
It also crossed my mind that this might not be legit, lalo pa ngayon na madami nang naglalabasang fan fiction involving the Growling Tigers. Nevertheless, I still pray that this is true -not the child having cancer, but with the child having hope to surpass her sickness because of Jeric Fortuna.

Nahiya ako bigla sa sarili ko.

Remember when older people told us, "Okay lang magka-crush, ok yan para ma-inspire ka." This is supposed to be the way for Fangirling. Just like what Tep said in the previous post, we fan girls dream. We stalk. We fantasize.

Maybe the obsession comes from dreaming that someday, the prince and I will end up together. Some fan girls actually did it. A famous example would be Lucy Torres Gomez, who believed in the law of attraction (everything your mind can conceive, you can achieve.) and is now happily married to her teenage dream.


But seriously, what are the chances? Kailangan ba mala-beauty queen ka muna? 


Reality bites. And when it bites, it tells you to wake up from your reverie and just be grateful of what you already have. I'm not saying that we have to stop being fans. I'm just saying we have to do this moderately. (Which is most likely a note to myself.) Hindi yung tipong naddown ka nalang forever tuwing di ka niya napapansin, or tuwing may ibang swerteng fan na nakapagpapicture nanaman sa kanya samantalang ikaw di mo parin siya makita ng personal. (Aray!) OR yung tipong wala nang ibang nagawa araw-araw kundi sumubaybay nalang sa whereabouts niya.


Being a fan is supposed to be liberating and inspiring - not obsessive and depressing.


So next time we realize that we're getting it bad, let's stop for a while, take deep breaths, and go for doing something that is more productive and beneficial for us. Fan girls shall forever be fan girls. And I guess our crushes and idols would appreciate it more if they inspired us to achieve this and that instead of loving them so much that it drives us crazy.

Temporary Bliss

What happens in the mind of a fan girl who comes across another world where she wishes for it to be the one she's living in? In short, sa day dreamer.

People, tend to think that you are very much lucky to have an imaginative mind, but actually, it has that connection to your heart that slowly kills your reality. Okay, some become exceptional writers, artists, directors, etc., but what about the others? Hmm.. Great way to start the blog tep, very inspiring... not!


But seriously, that's how I see it. Been there, done that ika nga nila.


See here:


First, you develop a pea-sized crush on someone.Then, you start researching his fb&twitter account to see photos and updates, and the next thing you know, you already have a giant beanstalk in your backyard! Surely you know what I'm "sTalking" about. Emphasis on the word "stalk". ;p


YOU know what I mean. >=] yes, YOU! Guilty-little-fan-girl-who-spends-a-lot-of-time-checking-on-his-whereabouts-and-dating-him-in-dreamland-not-realizing-you've-already-wasted-an-hour-of-your-life-you-could've-been-productive-in. Phew! Used a lot of hyphens there. Let's put it this way, it's as if your world stops and you elope with your dreamboy----piggyback rides, heartmelting moments and fireworks (that's my korean daydream btw) and by the time you're back in reality you're still hoping that someday, somehow, you will end up together. Oh, cruel world!


In my coming posts I will share instances where I, too, have written and directed my own perfect love story, in my mind of course. Honestly, sobrang dami I'm having a hard time remembering them. I was planning to include it in this post but my memory failed me, thus, the sudden shift to this paragraph. :(


For now, here's a list of those I adore and date in dreamland ;]


•Christian Grey (yes, I'm in love with a fictional character)


•Johnny Depp (he's just amazingly beautiful)






















•Lee Min Ho (his smile makes my heart beat a million)





















•Jang Keun-suk (he looks so gay that it's manly, haha weird)

















•Jeric Teng (I'm not into basketball but by the time I saw the recent ust vs admu game in uaap, he went bang! bang! straight to my heart)






And and and...
•Brendan Fraser - jungle cutie 
















We would also like to hear from you, your own insight and stories, please feel free to comment or shoot us an email so that we can feature it here. :)


Yahoo! First official post!

Introductions

Every meeting begins with an introduction. And we meet this way- we post, you read. :))

I'm Te. I'm 22. I work in an office on weekdays except holidays and stormy days. I spend most of my free time reading,
writing on secret blogs, studying online and doing what other normal people in their early twenties do.

The idea for this blog was born on a direct message via Twitter on October 25, 2012, days and weeks after we realized that this Fangirling is not going to leave us sooner than we've thought.


So for you, who happened to stumble upon our blog either by chance or by our own plugging, we hope you enjoy and learn something from us as much as we learn lots in the whole process.


That's it for me. Happy reading! :)


♥,

Te

Hello world wide web and cyber friends!

As much as I'd like to leave my name anonymous, unfortunately I'm not techy enough to edit out my account. So, I guess you now know who I am (unless I feel the urge to change it) :p This is my first time contributing to a blog so please bare with my writing as I am not really a passionate and perfect writer. Expect a lot of errors and inconsistent storyline but I do promise to give you that "kilig and oo nga noh factor" with my posts.


Sorry, can't think of a way to conclude my intro so I'll just end it with a smile. =]
