Top 10 Reasons I'm Thankful I'm a Fangirl and I Love Being One
10. My grades got higher. When I was in my first and second year high school, I was really into anime. Not that I hate anime now; I still do love them. But beware, if you don’t have self-control like me, it’ll drag your grades to hell. You see, I was salutatorian when I graduated elementary school then dropped dead to 9th on first year then dropped dead again on nowhere at all on second year. :D
You know, there are many mangakas and animators out there. And each one of these people make many mangas and anime. You can see them all over the terebi and the internet. There are so many to search. Yet, they are still just characters which look almost exactly the same. Is there another Chinen Yuri you could find? Or Nakajima Yuto? Or Tegoshi Yuya? Or even Yamada Ryosuke?
No. Damn no.
There could only be one person like each of them in this world. So if you’re crazy about these ikemen, you still can’t possibly get too many updates everyday all day online. You’d still have to take it slowly. Then you’ll have time to study. You see, I managed to climb back to 4th last year. :D
9. I’m more inspired to study. Or maybe not really. Or maybe I don’t know. But what I know is that when my mom tells me to go study my lessons, I just think of my idols and get really fired up! :D
8. This might seem like a really impossible dream but anyway it’s just costless to dream that you’re lovey dovey with your ichiban ne? It’s just a universe-high and universe-wide dream anyway, but is there anything wrong if it does come true? :D
Rather than dream of being lovey dovey with someone made of pencil lead, paper and color (I remembered I dreamed being one with Kanmuri Shigeru-kun of Yakitate Japan! four years ago… XDD), just do it with a real man. Or a real GORGEOUS man. When I dream that way, I could ease my problems out of my mind. Just thinking of them makes me feel I’m in heaven. At least there’s possibility ne? Rather than dream and dream until you die with that dream when we all know you’d really die like crazy dreaming like that when you know it’s never gonna happen.
In other words, let’s make the topic particular. The reason why I’m thankful I became a JE Fangirl after being an anime otaku.
Daijoubu da yo, I’m still an anime otaku. But please don’t ask me anymore what would I choose between fangirling and being an anime otaku because that could only mean two things:STUPIDITY and DOING IT ON PURPOSE. Sorry about those words anyway, but what I mean is that it’s already DAMN OBVIOUS so asking me would be nonsense. :D
7. I found my very special friends even though they’re very far away from me.There’s someone from Europe, from the States, or locally speaking, there’s someone from Bulacan, Cebu and other places as well. I’ve also got my bestfriends here that share the same interests as mine, but through the power of the internet, we have the saying “The more, the MERRIER”. Isn’t it really merry to have someone you could flail with? :D
6. I’m now prouder to say that I’m into something Japanese. Maybe this’ll sound like I’m just using my dear and precious ikemen, but even my nonfan-girlfriends in the class sometimes borrow my Duet magazine to see their beauty. Not that they really are so crazy about them as well. And although they still find it weird of me (us) to get hooked in everything Japanese, but at least there’s progress ne? Unlike when I was in first year and second year, when the atmosphere is so normal in class, we treat each other like really close friends or something. But when I switch my anime mode on, I really need to close my world to anyone but my friends who understand my interests. If only I wasn’t born as crazy and noisy as I am now, everybody would witness a real life Nakahara Sunako anime otaku version. :[[
5. Let’s make the topic particular. The reason why I’m thankful I’m a fangirl from outside Japan. I already flail too much when I see them just on the net, in magazines or on terebi. What else if they’re even closer? I could die anytime by now, but since they’re not, I’m not yet dying and I’d rather not since I still have more dreams to pursue before my dying day. Besides, with all these fangirling, I’m already so damn inspired.
And since they’re idols, even though I dyingly love them, I don’t need to hear them say they don’t love me back since I’m not desperately hoping for it anyway and I am just a random fan to them, unlike being inspired by a senpai that you really like but doesn’t like you back and even gave you words of rejection through a letter when you never confessed to him at all right before you finished your third year of high schooling. Sometimes it really hurts especially if it’s top quality admiration you’re giving. Well, anyway, I don’t give a damn on crying for a foolish man; well, not yet, not as long as I’m still young and you gals are still young. Just FANGIRL, and I’d even die recommending that verb for Webster’s dictionary. :D
4. People around me always tell me it’s BADUY [corny]. Of course, we all do hate corny jokes or corny whatsoever. But sometimes, we still do laugh a bit if we hear or see things that we think are corny ne? Also, there are so many common things that people don’t find corny, yet the BADUY thing they are talking about is JPop. Meaning, the BADUY thing is something like biodiversity. Or an endangered species that only exists in Japan. Or why the heck am I making this longer when the shortest words for it are rare, unique, genuine? And in other statement as well, the BADUY thing that people find in JPop is what actually made me hooked in it. And if I’m BADUY because I’m into something BADUY, therefore I’m UNIQUE! :D
Side Story: I remember I won the Spelling Bee when I was in Grade 1 because of the word unique. XD
3. I wouldn’t stand being called a COPYCAT Fangirl. Because again, I’m UNIQUE! XDD
2. I never felt so rewarded until then that I became a fangirl every time I get updates about my idols. Would it feel so rewarding to get updates about Western Artists or even about those rising KPop Artists? I don’t know but I don’t think so. International and local terebi and zasshi do them anyway, so what’s the use of struggling hard to get them if they’re already in front of you? In other words, just spare the struggling and rewarding feeling to us JPop/JE Fans okay? OKAAYY?!
1. I aim higher to reach my dreams. Even though some of my dreams seem to be 99% or 99.99% impossible, let us still believe that even the remaining 1% or 0.01% can still make things possible! Besides, my idols themselves told us that Dreams Come True ne? :D
But you know, I still have an extra reason left in here but I won't list it in the Top 10 because it is the most important. And that reason is...
I JUST SIMPLY LOVE BEING A FANGIRL!!
Anyway, do we have to find reasons why we love being one? :D
