Fangirling ...

I fangirl over Daniel Padilla, EXO, and 5SOS but there's something about James Reid that made me fangirl over him the most.

During the time that I was fangirling over Daniel Padilla, I entered a fandom where I even signed up to be an official member of the group. I even bought the official t-shirt. I was one of the most active members in our group here in our province.

The most prized possession I got from the moment I fangirled over Daniel Padilla was the signed album of Princess & I.

The thing why I am not that attached to my fangirling over Daniel is because of his on-screen partner, Kathryn Bernardo.

Kathryn is a nice girl but I just don't like her. I don't like their team up with Daniel. I even shipped Daniel and Liza Soberano during their Got to Believe soap opera because yeah, they looked good together.

One of the best days of my fangirling life was the time I saw Daniel Padilla in person. It was November 23, 2014 at the Centennial Gym in Laoag City. Thank goodness, my mother allowed me to go. It wasn't a night event anyway.

All they did is play basketball. Bonus is that, I even saw other artists like Jon Lucas, Young JV, Manolo Pedrosa and other more Star Magic artists. Alexa Ilacad was also there!

Although Daniel didn't speak nor I didn't have the chance to take a photo with him, I still treasure that day, and always will.


For EXO, I became a fan because of a friend. EXO is the only KPop boy group I've fangirled over. I am not really into KPop. I like KPop music, I like KDramas, I love South Korea. But, never did I plan to be attached in a KPop group for I barely understand them and to me, they all seem to look just the same. Lol.

All I got as an EXO merch was a t-shirt (WOLF 88 with Luhan print in the front). I just can't afford the shoes and the MCM bag.

Worst part of my experience is that when they have an event and our internet connection decides to be really friggin' slow like ugh, I am losing all my patience and all I see is a circle, just circling around and never gives me the video I wanna watch. Tss.

The most prized possession I got from fangirling over EXO is ther Overdose album. It was really expensive. I even waited for several weeks before I got mine but it was all worth it. It only had five songs tho. Hahaha. But I like the packaging. It was really nice.

Now, I do not belong in this fandom anymore. Issues came. Some members left (including my bias, Luhan) and I lose all the interest. I am not that attached to them anyway.

But I will miss OT12. The fun times. The sad times. EXO Showtime was one of my favorites. It shown the other side of EXO. It was funny, it was good, it was real.


Another is the Aussie band, 5 Seconds of Summer. I loved their She Look So Perfect song but I didn't become a fan of them just yet. It was only then when I saw their Don't Stop music video. Luke Hemmings was beyond handsome in that video that I searched them right up and there, I became an instant fan. Hahaha.

What I love about them is that they're crazy. Instead of being annoyed by their "green mentality" and childish acts, you'll just got to love them more.

I also like their music genre. Their songs are so catchy. It's not a hardcore rock, it's more of pop rock. I also like it when they released their song Amnesia. It's kind of a sad song but for me, it balanced their usual kind of catchy songs.

Only their album LIVE SOS is onhand with me and that is what I consider as my prized possession. 5 Seconds of Summer (their first album) was out of sight in the record store so I just bought that one. I can't really say that it's better but listening to it gives you concert feels. The ad-lib, the side comments, the cheer of the fans, those makes it wild and fun.

I do plan to buy their second album tho. But I'm just goin' to buy it when I go to Manila.

The sad part right now is that they've changed, especially Luke. Well, not really a bad kind of change but maybe I think it's too soon. I'm not yet ready for a matured 5SOS. I'm just goin' to make a separate blog post for this. Lol.

Actually, there's a good news. 5SOS will be having a concert in Manilaaaaa! The bad news is, I can't go. Manila is like 8-10 freakin' hours away. The concert tickets also cost like gold. Plus, I don't have any companion so I will just listen to their album on March 12, 2016. Sigh.


So before I get more emotional over 5SOS and their upcoming concert, I will now proceed with James Reid.

I am sooo hooked with him and I don't know why.

From the start, I've been a fan of JaDine, yeah, JaDine. I like them as a team. But when their show On The Wings Of Love came out, I came to love James as James alone. Although I still love JaDine as a tandem.

Maybe James' role is a big factor why I love him this much. Clark Medina, his character, is very charming. He is not the cliche rich guy with a bad boy look but his smile is enough to catch the hearts of girls.

July 26, 2015 is another most unforgettable day of my life. For in this day, I saw James Reid, up close and for free! I really wanted to go to their concert in Laoag but I know for sure that they won't allow me because it's a night event. But the important thing is, I saw him even just for a few seconds.

Everytime that I hear or pass by Hotel Luna, I remember him.

I swear to Gods, he is like a vampire. I still can't believe that I saw him, If given a opportunity, I would hug him. I really wanna hug him.

Also, despite the issues that he had been involved, I might get really sad and disappointed sometimes but I still wanna stay by his side for he inspires me in a way no one else can do. He inspires me in a different way. I don't wanna elaborate in details as to why. He knows it, if ever he happened to read my DMs to him.

And yeah, I send him DMs in IG. I started sending him DMs on November 1, 2015. It's not everyday that I send him DMs. Just when the times that I feel like it. But yeah, I really do hope that he already read my DMs to him.

It's actually my first time to be this understanding and supportive. Understanding in the part of his issues and supportive in the part of buying stuff and exerting all the efforts for him.

All I have right now is his perfume "to my Mrs. Reid." That was my first ever transaction online. I would really do anything if I really want something. And I also got the Candymag ish where he is the cover.

I am also planning to order a customized pillow with James' faces on it but I still have to think about it for it is a little pricey.

For his album, I don't have it yet. But I hope it would still be available the time that I go to Manila.


Fangirling is frustrating, it makes you cray cray, it makes you sad, it makes you happy. Never a single minute that I've regretted being a fan girl. Yeah, it's hard especially when you know that you're exerting a lot of effort and money for a person who doesn't even know your existence but it's all worth it because it's the happiness that they give me and that is one thing that cannot be bought.
