So Be It

I created a livejournal account to separate my fangirling from this personal blog. I thought it would work out that way. I guess the line separating my "rediscovered" love for the Japanese culture (okay my love for Arashi, other JE boys and jdramas to be specific) and my "real life" seems to blur out on its edges.

The people I know find it bizarre. They can't really get why I'm so into this. Here you have a Filipina who was crazy over anything Western. I reveled in Orlando Bloom (okay I still do), Christina Aguilera, etc. Western movies were the only thing I'd watch.

I tried to shy away from the Asian culture. The invasion of dubbed Korean shows was too much for me. I can't stand dubs because I'd rather hear the real actors and actresses say their lines. I would rather have subtitles.

I found it all "baduy" and stuff. Pardon the term but when you grow up in my home you'd get what I mean. I just could not understand it. It was something so foreign to me despite of the fact that the Asian countries were closer (well duh) than the Western mindset I carried throughout most of my life.

Don't get me wrong I was into the Meteor Garden fever way back. Much to the amusement and slight chagrin of my father. He would not let me hear the end of it I tell you. I also had a brief affair with a few anime series but that was rather fleeting.

So what happened now?

I have no idea.

But I do have something to tell you guys: Wakarimashita or I understand.

I can get why you don't get it. Huh?! HAHA I understand that you won't get my fangirling. Am I trying to justify it? Yes. Looking for acceptance? Maybe. Forcing you to like it too? Definitely not.

I've decided to enter this on my own. Call it the Jun-bait (this whole thing started with HYD anyway). Call it whatever you like. I just got into it and I know this isn't some temporary thing now.

It's a great de-stressor for me. When you see me smiling rather foolishly that would probably be connected to Arashi or Hana Kimi or Yamada Taro. I've found a good source of happiness. It's a warm and fuzzy, sometimes a "kilig-driven" place.

Who knew I'd turn out this crazy? No one probably expected this, I was the self-proclaimed Westernized girl. I have shifted gears and turned completely around. Definitely no regrets. I'm having the time of my life right now. I've even gotten a few people hooked into a few stuff and that makes me happy too. Maybe I'm not so crazy after all.
