That "Boy"... Young JV

"Who's Young JV?"

"Is he famous?"

"Where can I watch him?"

Those are just some questions I encountered last January 21, 2011 on Young JV's mall show and whenever my not so secret, secret is exposed. Yeah, he is not as "sikat" as Sarah Geronimo and other singers but then his capacity to become a star like them is great.

Young JV is an Ilonggo like me!!! And I am so proud of him not just because I am his fan but because he is an Ilonggo!!!

Before, I am already aware that Young JV existed and I'm proud as an Ilonggo. That time, I am not yet so into him. I saw him first on KC's morning show before in ABS-CBN and give no much attention to it for he was just given a short time to promote his album "READY OR NOT". And also, that time I am simply a citizen of the country who watches television and that's that.

Until...

Being so addicted to JACIA lead me unto chillin' out on ASAP CHILL OUT - a chatroom and livestream of ASAP. Usually, A-POP (JV's group together with sam, nel and jaco) and the GIGGER BOYS are the hosts on CHILL OUT. And that time when the PBB Teens were featured as guests on the said online forum or something, I spotted YOUNG JV. He was so cute and hot that time, plus he sang a bit of his single "That Girl". I was like, oh! Nice song, great voice, gorgeous face! Wow!

Then I started checking out his website, http://www.youngjv.com and browsed of the facts that I may learn about him and his songs as well. So, that's the time that I started my addiction to JV. :)

Yeah, I am addicted JACIA as well as to JV. :)

With JV, I had my first ever experience with mall shows!! Never participated before, I watched, yes, but never participated. For the first time, I entered the SM CITY EVENT CENTER and was seated on the first row!!! I experienced throwing posters and calendars to the audiences, lined up for autograph signing, and had a picture taken with a celebrity!!!! Hahaha...

My friends and cousins especially were amazed of my craziness! They were also surprised that I joined and did all those stuff!

From then on, I've been an active member, became a CERTIFIED YOUNGLING (Young JV's Fans Club). Whenever JV's here in Iloilo me and the other Ilonggo Younglings try to have a meet up with him.

The best meet up I may say was that of last April at Starbucks. He was so kind. And of course how could I forget that meet up where in we've waited for him for almost 3 hours!!! When he arrived? All the frustrations banished. Just a smile and we're all lost!!! Hahaha...

Oh well...

more moments with JV to come :)

By the way, JV is the boyfriend in my dreams. Hahaha... He is that boy... :p
It's kind of funny because I had his photo as my phone wallpaper before. Many asked, who's that guy? And I answered back jokingly, "He is my boyfriend....in my dreams (in my dreams were spoken softly..hahaha)". A lot believed that indeed he is and a few doubted >_<. Hahaha! And of course, many said that he is handsome and that they want to meet him as well.

If ever my dream is true, don't know how will I deal with things. I'll be proud, yes, but for sure I will receive many criticisms. And maybe, I'll receive threats as well. :p

Well, I am not really so into this dream. I know it's impossible. So, I'm kind of okay with just having Young JV as my inspiration, have the chance to be with him and have pictures with him, listen to his songs, continue to support him and witness his soothing smile. :)

The wait, is it finally over?

Dated: June 30, 2011
Published: 070111

Had a very long afternoon today, when I received the news that I’ve been waiting for so long. That one of the ultimate waits in my life is over. Yeah, hopefully it really is and this is not just a hocus pocus or something. Hmm…

This morning, together with my schoolmates, we attended the STI COLLEGE ILOILO ORIENTATION. The administration, faculty and staff were presented to all of us as well as the school’s policies and everything. Well of course, during the talks and presentations, students (including me) were getting bored and sleepy. Thanks to the intermission numbers that we had the ice broken. We also had a game, and I won two National Book Store Gift Certificates worth 100php. J

Before the orientation concluded, Mr. Grabato announced that we won’t have a class this afternoon. Well, as expected, everyone was joyful with that announcement. Who won’t? We’re going to have a break from school!

I stopped by for lunch, bought some stuffs and headed to my boarding house. I told myself to keep myself busy on reading the pocketbooks I bought but wasn’t able to because I feel sleepy. So, sleep I did. When I woke up, I still feel bored so I read one of my pocketbooks. I’m in the middle of the “kilig” moments when I received the news!

Me and my colleagues had been waiting for this for quite a “loooooooooong” time now and receiving this or knowing about this is really big news. This means that I should really control myself on buying stuffs I don’t really need. And that includes my collection, for along with this news, for sure I need a hefty sum of money. Hahaha!

Why is this news a big deal? Well, that’s for you to find out on the days to come. J

JaCia is the "unkabogable" one :)

Who would have thought that I will become so addicted to celebrities? Even me, can't believe that I am so hooked up in this kind of thing. Being an active fan, was quite out of my league before. Yeah... before. Because before, I'm okay with just watching my idols on television. But now, I am so participative on the forums, tweets, fan pages and blogs such as this.

Who are these celebrities anyway?

Well, they're none other than JaCia. James Reid and Tricia Santos. Familiar? Well, they were the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010 house mates. James, or bebe Jaime for us was the PBB Teen Clash Big Winner. And Tricia, or bebe Trish was well, we hoped to be the Big Winner or part of the Big Five but she got evicted from the house because of that questionable "Vote to Save and Vote to Evict" scheme.

Among all celebrities and love teams, why did I choose JaCia? You may say stuffs like, "di naman yan sila sikat", "di naman yan sila nakikita sa TV together"... followed by the question: "Bakit sila?Bakit JaCia?Pwede namang BretZie, TriVan, JamLi, Jaevon, JoeVon, etc."

Well, all I can say is that... In JaCia, I have found the so called "chemistry" between them. The spark! From the Live Stream, Prime Time, PBBTC Uber Episodes and even just with the pictures you can really tell that there is something between the two of them. That they compliment each other. And the fact that "Bagay Sila!"

Yeah, other LT fans claim that the LT they support got the chemistry and the spark. They claim that they were the one. But for me, JaCia is the one. JaCia is the unkabogable one.

With JaCia, I can see how their faces glow in the pictures whenever they were with each other. Compared to other LTs? Oh well... JaCia shines!

What saddens me and the rest of the "bebes" (that's how we're called) is the fact that until now JaCia got no  project together. Even just a simple production number in ASAP, we were not given that chance! Unlike to James' other LTs! Yeah, it's unfair. Very unfair. But what can we do? The management themselves won't give us that opportunity. 

Yes, we have a big fan base. There are a lot of JaCia Bebes all around the globe who look forward on seeing JaCia together on TV. And they were all out in supporting both James and Tricia especially the "globies" (bebes who resides outside the country). We did everything that we can do. Tweeted for requests, had petitions, sent emails, etc... yet we gain nothing. Even a JaCia Get Together Party was not approved. And we've been waiting for a year now for that party to happen. Many were frustrated, disappointed, and pissed with this, but still everyone's holding on. Everyone's looking forward for the day that JaCia will appear on TV and that the Get Together Party will push through.

Why continue holding on, believing, and supporting JaCia Love Team? 

Simply because, I, we believe that they are real. Real in the sense that we know they like each other.It can be seen on the LS videos, pictures and the known conversations between them. Of course, we shouldn't forget the "offcam" moments between them. I continue to hold on, believe and support for the reason that we exist and we will continue doing so. And an addition to that, by supporting JaCia, I have found and met new friends. Friends that despite the distance from each other, the strong bond is undeniable. This is not just about JaCia, this is also about the friendship nurtured. 

We will wait for the time that JaCia will be paired up. We will continue to support them even though they will be paired to someone else. The importance is that we are recognized by them, by James and Tricia. And that we believe that JaCia is love, and that JaCia is real.

Check out this video by one of my fellow bebes, "ahmpness"... some of the moments treasured by all of us. Compiled here were the photos captured, videos when they were still inside the PBB House and that of when they were already in the outside world (especially the "A Day With the Kids" videos by the bebes).

"STATUE" by 'lil eddie

Remembering How We Started and How We Ended

Like any other people around, I've also experienced the thing called LOVE. Well, I may say that what I've experienced was one of the most complicated experiences I've ever known. But, one thing is for sure. Despite what happened between us, I am grateful to know Gabrielle Isaac Aquino. He had been my best friend more than a boyfriend, I admit. And like this very moment, remembering the memories shared with him still affects me like the good old days.

I can't say that I have totally moved on, that's quite difficult. But I've let go :) I've got no claim of him. I discovered, I was fooled. He already got someone special before me. Still, the bitterness, the pain and all the drama I feel can't deny the fact that without him, I can never be the "ME" now.

These poems were all about him, what I've felt when everything between us started and ended. The poems that depict what I really felt during those times. ^_^

SILVERSOUL

So down,

nothing to hold on to…

I cried,

to ease down the pain inside.

Feeling so down,

deprived by everyone.

Stayed in one corner,

watched others go round and round.

Then I saw something bright,

one blinding light.

A figure came out,

and lead his way to me.

He comforted me,

urged me to stand.

Said I must go and fight,

He is just there by my side.

I look up and saw his face.

The very face owned

by the foe and the friend I know.

The person I adored for so long.

Indeed I stood up.

Knowing I have him to support me.

I did go on,

Coz I know he will fight with me.

For just quite some time,

the failure I mourned,

the hurt and pain I felt

were all gone.

The blinding light that this guy brought,

gave a new meaning to my life.

He enlightened the dark phase of it

and brightened more the new life ahead.

A new chapter of my life opened.

New adventures unfold.

The foe and friend I adored,

Now, the love of the life I owned.

Oh! I've regard of him as my hero, before... 

And he ended up to be "THE HERO WHO BROKE MY HEART" (lol)

HERO

i had my hero...

he was not like the usual one.

he was simply being him.

and he did things for me,

for me to be where i am now.

he lifted me up

when i fell down...

he had been there for me

when i needed someone...

he made me smile,

on times where im sad...

he had been my shoulderto cry on

when i needed one...

but now...

i can't find my hero...

i can't reach him,

even though i wanted to...

i thought he will be there

forever...

but i guess...

heroes get tired too...

for the whole time

that my hero had been there...

ive got no regrets...

coz ive been happy...

the memories we've shared

are memories i will never forget...

yeah...only memories will be my treasure

for the hero...

the hero who made me feel

amazed...

dazed...

pissed...

sad...

mad...

glad...

and loved...

Meeting "Mang JV"

June 26, 2011...
A day for the Ilonggo Younglings to meet up, buy tickets for the What Love Is concert, and find a after party venue. Actually, I was late...and I just followed my little sisters in the "after party venue". There, I discovered that they've got a communication with 'Nang Bing' one of the Kapunan Family's staff. And they asked for some available tickets from her which of course we will buy. :)
It's kind of a roller coaster ride for us, because of the schedule of when will we fetch the tickets from the Kapunan Residence and of the other option that the tickets will be delivered straight to us by them (Nang Bing and the family driver). In the end, we decided to fetch the tickets. It is the chance for us to see where Young JV lives, so why not grab the opportunity right?
So... Ann, Maimai, Joan and myself journeyed home...chos!!!

Walking towards Young JV's home :)

When we reached their gate, we were so ecstatic...

and as you can see, had our pics taken outside of their gate...

(maimai)

(ann)

after ann's turn, the gate opened!

They noticed that we are there because of the damn 'flash' of my phone!!!

One of the guards peeped and asked us what we need.

Guiltily, the three of us immediately said "Maimai", in order for Maimai to answer the guard.

And Maimai said that we're looking for Nang Bing, and the guard called her.

In a rush, Joan's pic was taken.

I am kind of paranoid that the guard would be back any sec!!!

And he did with Nang Bing :)

(Wasn't given the chance to take my photo outside the gate because they came back soon!)

She recognized Maimai and jokingly told her that she is the cutest of us all.

Nang Bing lead us inside and told us to take a seat.

We were quite surprised to be welcomed by two charming little doggies...

Mocha and Oreo!

They are soooooo cute!!!

It's just that I don't know their breed >_<

Anyway, Maimai was so scared that the little doggies might bite her.

On the other hand, Joan and me gave attention to the doggies :)

For again, they are so cute!!!

and now... meeting JV's dad....

Nang Bing told us to say 'Hi' to JV's dad....

Col. Eduardo "Red" Kapunan Jr. (PAF, Ret.) 

Of course we're shy of doing so and again Nang Bing lead us towards the garden.

And hey!!! 

When JV's dad said his 'hello', he also introduced himself as "Mang JV" and welcomed us in their humble abode ^_^

ain't that cute?hahah...

We left "Mang JV" at the garden, and waited for the secretary (she had tickets).

While waiting, I looked for Mocha but can't find her.

Oreo's left with us so we decided to have some pics with him.

Oh! Oreo's the doggie JV's with in his Friendster account before.

The official photographer of the day... Me!

Joan's really fond of dogs that she's so comfy with him.

Maimai here is quite afraid of Oreo but nonetheless, had the picture taken in order for her to have a remembrance with Oreo.

Ann's so comfy with Oreo as well. 

Looky here... Oreo's eyes!!!

Since I am the photographer of those three...

had the standing pose with Oreo...

he is small...but he is quite heavy...hahaha...

Wanna take this doggie home...especially Mocha (no pic, she's quite a busybody kind of dog..hahaha)

we had the ticketssssss....

(folded tix)

Before leaving, we wished to have a pic with "Mang JV"

and we told Nang Bing.

But one of their 'pasaway' stuff blurted that out to "Mang JV"

he accommodated us and gave us the chance to have a group picture with him.

some of their staff complimented and told "Mang JV" that he is handsome.

now we know where JV got his looks...

when we finished taking the photos, he said

"Next time naman kamo pa autograph ha?"

we laughed...

And we bid our goodbyes...

He thanked us for visiting them and their home :) 

and of course said that we're welcome to come again.

Had this photo taken at the Palm Tree near the gate. Hahaha..humabol!!!

We're flattered. And we're very happy that we decided to be the "PASAWAY" us...

and that we decided to fetch the tix...

The roller coaster ride is worth it...

A day to ponder.

A day to treasure.

That's today....one of the best days!

Meeting "Mang JV", their household staff, and of course...

Mocha and Oreo.

^_^
