Loving Him Was REiD

June 26, 2015-- the very first time that I saw him in flesh.

I have known about their concert in Laoag but unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a meet and greet ticket because the ticket price is quite pricey.
After our class, we went immediately to the hotel where the meet and greet was held. A lot of fans were there, patiently waiting for JaDine's exit.
We were situated near the gate bars. When people were starting to come out from the hotel, the roar of the crowd got louder.
And when that guy in white came out, we all lose it. It was just for a few seconds, or milliseconds rather, but it was enough to make us crazy.

November 23, 2015-- another chance had given to me.

A rumor was spreading about JaDine arriving in Vigan to shoot some scenes for their show. I was all ears for inside scoops so I can track where JaDine is heading.
Actually, I have a class from 2-5PM but fate was so good to me. Our prof had a meeting so he wasn't able to meet us.
We went to the lagoon immediately to watch their shooting but BaiLona is the one shooting their scene. I am also a fan of them so I was sooo happy to see them.
Bailey is the "fetus Justin Bieber" (as my ex-belieber fan tagged him) but I can't agree more because yes, he is like Justin Bieber. I was able to stare at him for long during their taping. My closest interaction to him is when he was inside the van. He was sitting near the window. The window was tinted but I can still see him clearly. I was looking at him through the window. He was just a window away from me. If the window was open, I can really touch him and smell him.
For Ylona, she is sooo cute. Although I wish that her make up was a little lighter because I want her simple. The first time I saw her is when she was still in the van. I looked at her through the window and when I saw her, I couldn't help but to shrieked.
After that, we went in front of the Cordillera Inn. A lot of people were also there.

And after patiently waiting for almost two hours (just imagine how tired and hungry we were), JaDine finally went out the door. The crowd was unbelievable! The cheer of the crowd were so loud you can even feel the vibration. It also felt like my eardrums were about to explode because of the intensity of the cheer.
He smiled and waved the moment they went out. I was really about to go insane.

After that, we ran to the Vigan cathedral because they are to shoot in there. We went inside the church but JaDine was in front of the cathedral, delivering their lines.
But there was a moment when they opened the door. Although I was metersssss away from their location, I saw clearly how masculine his back is. He even took a gaze inside the church so I saw his beautiful face again.

Unfortunately, we were sent out of the church for they are going to shoot in there.
When we went out, I was trying my very best to take just a glimpse of them but too bad, I wasn't tall enough to see what was happening. The crowd was really that big.

November 24, 2015-- a hopeless day turned a happy one.

By near 11AM, someone sent me a message telling me that they are going to shoot in the empanadaan. Because we just can't get enough of him, we ditched the seminar and went to their location.
They were inside the van when we got there. I also saw Nadine (through the tinted window of the van, thank you sunlight for lighting her spot so I can see her) and Bailey (when they slightly opened the door).
I really want to wait for them to get out of the van but I have a class which is a major one so I needed to go back to school.
By noon, they told me that JaDine already left to Ilocos Norte. I wasn't expecting anymore. I went home immediately after our class.
Just when I was surfing the net, I received a text from a friend saying that JaDine is still in Vigan and they're shooting in Calle Crisologo.
After hearing that, I was soooo frustrated. I was mislead by the info saying that JaDine went to Ilocos Norte.

I was in total bad mood. I was in the edge of crying until my sister called me saying that they saw the truck of ABS-CBN in a nearby brgy in our town.
My sister went to that location. I told my parents about that so I can also go there but they didn't believe in that info so we were left in the house.
I called my sister and she told me that the camera is rolling so she needs to stay quiet. Goddamn it, that was the time that the tears raced down from my eyes.
I was soooo frustrated. I was soooo .. I don't know. I can't even express how intense I felt that time.
I was sooo hopeless to the point that I was talking to his magazine cover. I was wondering if I was that bad in my past life for me to experience these kind of things.

My mom must have known. She called my dad to fetch us so we can also go to their location.
When we got to the location, a number of people were there, watching their shooting. I can only see Bailey, Kiko and Axel from our view. Until Nadine showed up. She's just really pretty. She's so flawless. Her jet black hair suits her well.
And the crowd got wild when James showed up. He faced us, smiled and waved. Goodness, that was one of the best moments of my life.
He was showing us his back. I was really contented just by looking at his back. Sometimes, I can see his side profile though.
Then he disappeared. But thanks to my observant eyes, I spotted him at the door. He's talking to someone and from what I can read from his lips, he's saying something like "in the car." He was really cute in that moment. He looks like a child asking his parents for something. I can't help but to admire him more.
Not long after, he went inside the car. I was looking at him through the tinted window. He was sitting in the middle part. He glanced in our part and I swear, I think I saw him looked at me. Immediately, I said "hi" and waved. If it wasn't that dark, I would have determined if he really looked at me. But just by the thought of it, I am about to go crazy. Whether he looked at me or not, I'm already contented.
A staff was stopping us to go to the window and take a glance inside the van but thanks to those who are taking pictures with flash, it gives light for me to see his face. Ohmygoodness, he is one heck of a handsome guy. His white complexion, his pinkish lips, his messy hair, his perfectly defined eyebrows, his eyes, ohmygooosh, his pair of brown eyes are sooo .. I don't know. Expressive?
Luckily, the staff went to check on something so I grabbed the chance to sneak a peak inside the van. He was busy with his MacBook. I even saw his iPhone saying 8:45 PM when it lighted.
It was dim inside, yes, but I don't care.
There was also someone sitting near the window. I was just a freaking window and one person away from him but that was already close enough.
I was able to stare at him for long. I saw how pointed his nose is. I saw how handsome he is.

Too bad, they already needed to go.
I am now very contented with my experience with him.

And yeah, I'm talking about James Reid,
Loving him is hard, with all the issues and stuff going around, I got hurt, yes, but I don't know. I can't leave his side just yet.
I don't know how long will this last but I am very sure that I am not going to leave his side for now. This is one heck of a rollercoaster ride and I am enjoying it (including all the downfalls).
