    Be Careful of What You Wish For.



    A few weeks ago, I remember looking for a new something (tv show, book, celeb, movie.. basta whatever) to go fannish over.



    Yeah, it's an affliction of some sort. My affliction.



    Fall TV season is still months away and for me, that's too long a wait.



    I need something to look forward to, something to jumpstart my energy level, something to keep me stupidly smiling all for most part of the day.



    I need it to feed the rabid journalist wannabe in me.



    Weylll, I think I might have gotten more than what I've bargained for.



    One lazy Sunday afternoon, I've unexpectedly stumbled upon a new fandom.  And after two weeks of being in hyper research mode, I'm afraid I have fallen headoverheels toptotwinkletoes addicted to it.



    Say hello to the culprits.



    Ok Ka Lang?



    Heh.



    Hindi funny ha. Even I don't understand it. I mean... halllerrrr I don't like reality tv. I don't watch star search kind of shows. It's why I didn't get caught up in Survivor and Amazing Race and why I didn't even bother with Starstruck or SCQ. Not to mention American Idol and the barrage of local versions it spawned.



    It's not that nagfi-feeling elitist ako. Or that I don't appreciate raw talent or feel a certain morbid fascination while watching competitive "team" spirit at its worst.



    It's the whole backbiting, scheming and moneymaking politicking in those contests that turn me off. I don't like investing in and rooting for an obviously talented contestant for weeks on end only to watch in slow motion and sit in stony silence as the not-so-talented-yet-popular-and/or-rich contestant bring home the bacon millions.



    Pweh.



    At isa pang pweh.



    I know that the world is anything but fair pero it still breaks my heart when shit like these happens.



    Kaya this whole SCQ thing?



    Yeah, it's baffling.



    Imagine. I haven't watched a single ep of the contest. I've only seen a few minutes of Fanatic before launching onto nethead mode.



    Yet now, I've all the signs and symptoms of a junkie.



    And sa lagay na yan, I don't even get to watch MTB and Reload on account of me still being at the office.



    Ohgod, I am junkie.



    Oo, Ok Ako!



    Yata.



    I mean, I won't deny that I'm no stranger to fangurling on local celebs. I distinctly remember going through roughly the same thing with Gimik.



    *cringe*



    Pero duuuude.. nung highschool pa yun eh. So parang feeling ko, meron pa kong *ahem* "excuse" sa pinaggagagawa ko dati. *lolz* At nung humupa na nga ang "kahibangan" ko, ipinangako ko sa aking sarili na, "never again" akong magpapaka-"fan" nang ganoon. Unang una, magastos. Yung tipong bibili ka ng mga kung anik anik na fan magazine "for collection's sake." Pangalawa, nakakapagod. Kasi shempre, asa Pinas ka, asa Pinas rin sila. Alangan namang hindi mo naising masiyalan at magpa-autograph *snicker* man lang sa kanila?! Pangatlo, lubhang nakakapagod talaga. Dusa ang aabutin mo maging bahagi lang ng live audience ng mga lech na noontime show/fans day na yan. At shempre, papayagan ba naman ako ng mga magulang ko na mag-isa pumunta?



    Diosme.



    *facepalm*



    Basta, kahila-hilakbot ang Gimik days ko noon.



    Kaya nga ayoko na sanang maulit pa yun.



    Ngunit batay sa mga kaganapan sa aking buhay nitong mga nakaraang araw, masasabi kong huli na yata ang lahat.



    Kay bilis ng mga pangyayari!



    Ibang lebel na itoh. Lubhang nakawiwindang 'teh.
