My #FanGirling 101

Apart from cycling, my world outside my family has been pretty much uptight. In a corporate world wherein you are bound to implement strategies & vision, study market behavior & global financial occurrences, it has never occurred to me that I would come to a state of hard-core fangirling. Yes! I have that crazy thing inside me, far from the world of corporate meetings, conferences, business travels etc. 

It was that fateful night 5 months ago when I accidentally came across of a youtube clip of Forevermore, a television drama show back in Philippines. It caught my attention. The lead stars were so refreshing & raw. They register so much chemistry on the screen that you'll want to see more. Right there & then, I became an instant fan of the show more specifically fan of the leading stars Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano - LizQuen as they are popularly called by millions. It was the very first time I actually came to love a loveteam. I have never been a huge fan of teleseryes and dramas back home as I find the stories cliche, repeating, and yes, 'baduy.' But these two changed my perspective. They being so raw & real makes you feel the connection, that kilig, that sense of hope that "may Forever nga." The overflowing look of love Enrique gives Liza every time he would look at her.I watched the show every time I could find extra time. I have them in my IG feeds, wanting to follow their journey from reel-to-real.  Even bought magazines online where I could read articles about them. I just felt that I need to see more.

When I visited Manila for a business meeting, it was right on time that their first movie together was being shown. And dang! I found myself queuing up first in MOA and then in Greenbelt! I have done it twice. It was a new experience, refreshing, funny & real. A worthwhile experience. I am seriously in-love with these two.

Back in my being a corporate slave, things went back to the usual routine. Several weeks have passed. There was nothing on TFC worth watching. Until that one night of browsing youtube clips that I bumped into the teaser of an upcoming teleserye On The Wings of Love. I barely knew the leads stars but seeing the teasers made me feel good, made me smile.

The show started and yet again, I found myself doing something for the first time. I subscribed to TFC.tv to make sure I won't miss any episode. I would spend long nights waiting for each upload every weeknights. It was all worthwhile. The show truly catches my heart as an OFW. #PusongOFW. Gagawin ang lahat para sa pamilya. It warms my heart seeing show like this, exemplifying all the sacrifices of a Filipino working abroad, to what extent we would do for our family. The show as it is truly more than worth what I paid for. 


But there is a bonus to it. I came to know James Reid & Nadine Lustre - JaDine to millions. I read about them, watched their previous shows and realized that what made them stand out from others is their mystery. They are not real but they are. I felt that they have intentionally built a wall between themselves, holding back something. It truly amazes me how much feel-good I could get just by watching these two. Witty, sensual yet funny. Nadine Alexis Lustre, many would say is not beautiful. Yes, she is not. She is more than beautiful. She is a gorgeous young lady who exudes real Filipina beauty. I find her funny, witty, sensual, & really talented. James Reid is undoubtedly beautiful young man who could melt millions of hearts just by smiling. But there is more to him than just meet-the-eye. The guys seems to be really deep & mysterious. The attributes that make him real sexy. These two have so much to offer. Destiny would tell if they would end-up together in real life. But even if they are not, what they are giving the crowd is already enough for me to love them. 

LizQuen & JaDine, these two loveteams are my escape to fantasy. They are the ones helping OFW ease that certain longing back home. They give so much joy, love, and kilig helping us go through to life with lightness & positive vibe. I am off to my long nights but who cares, I have that smile on my face and ready to wake up to another day of reality.

And that's how it all started. My fangirling thing.
