Overwhelmed...

...best describes what I feel lately.

A lot of F4 fans have been sending e-mails to me, supporting my obsession and shameless actions. Some of them, I think, are crazier than me. I guess they have their own boundaries, and I have mine.

Most of the e-mails are asking for photos of Jerry (to which I tell them that they're not mine to give). Some shared their own stock photos of F4 (which, sadly, I already have). Some even offered to share their precious DVD, VCD and CD collections with me (which was awfully nice. Kinda made me realize, that I wouldn't let anybody with a ten-feet pole touch my F4 memorabilias). While some asked about some facts and info about F4.

The most memorable encounter so far was when somebody called me at the office.

May: May I speak to Ruth?
Me: Speaking.
May: Ikaw ba talaga to?
Me: Opo. Sino po sila?
May: Ako si May. Forty-one na ako, may mga apo na ako. Nagtatrabaho ako dito sa Podium. Gusto ko lang sabihin na nagustuhan ko ang sinulat mo. Kasi, yun talaga ang nararamdaman namin bilang fans. Ikaw ang boses ng lahat ng F4 fans sa Pilipinas

I am the voice of F4 fans? Whoa! Wait a minute...

I think I'm a pathetic excuse for a voice. I can't even update the members of my mailing list with the latest tsismis for fear that I might leak some stories that will come out in two to three day's time.

The Voice? Shit, isn't that the title of Carol Banawa's charater in the soap, "Bituin"? Frankly, I'd rather be the listener and receiving end of all news and photos of my beloved.

But as it is, I can't be the idle founder anymore. So, I'm plugging our mailing list, flowingstars@yahoogroups.com. Those who are interested can join anytime.

Now excuse me, while I think of objectives for the flowingstars. A member already asked for it, and I had no ready answer.

I think lots of girls hate me for being so... brazen. But I refuse to apologize for what will always be the highest point of my twenty-something life.

"Ate, pinagmamalaki kita. Sinasabi ko sa mga classmates ko na gumraduate ka ng UST. At tuwing nanood ka ng concert ng F4 eh front row ka. At nasa tv ka nung nag presscon si Jerry.

Walang biro, ate, sinasabi ko talaga sa kanila na 'ate' kita."


Arfie, my cousin who's in highschool, told me on the telephone after he got me to agree to do another project for him.

--Ate, malapit na kitang bilhan ng Gameboy.
--Talaga? Kelan naman?
--Sa birthday mo.
--Lapit na ng birthday ko ah.
--Merong square at triangle. Anong gusto mo?
--Triangle.
--Katulad ng sa akin?
--Oo.
--Merong white, black, yellow at green. Ano ang sa iyo?
--Green na lang, favorite ko yun eh.
--O sige. Bibilihan na kita ng Gameboy.


Promise given by my 6-year-old cousin, Dondon.

And people still ask me if I get lonely being the only child and all.
