A lot of things had happen the last days. Our year started with a BANG! The MOA New Year Incident killed a lot of POPPERS and a lot was admitted to the JAMLI hospital. We've been blown away by the SHOUT OUT moments - when Ann celebrated her birthday and James was the surprise. Well it was not really a surprise since Ann already knew about it because she read the script :) Still, the start of the year for us POPPERS was overwhelming.
Then, the DARK CLOUDS came to our own world. Out came the bashers and spread their evilness towards Ann in BBB. Poppers protected and defended Ann. Every night there are a couple of bashers but they always end up going home as losers. Thanks to all the POPPERS who never got tired of guarding BBB and protecting our Princess. We all thought that we would only be facing the evilness of the bashers, until a certain group became too personal. I've read in BBB that someone texted Ann's handler trying to ruin her reputation. Trying to ruin her career, but they never succeeded. The handler still believes on those who sent in emails as a support for Ann.
But then, another major storm hit our kingdom. A lot of us got affected. A lot have quit and a lot had let go of James for one reason, he was with some other girl --- and the girl was not Ann.
I have been silent for a long time about this issue, and I believe that talking about this now on this blog would somehow lessen my burden and yours too. I'm not writing this post to convince or to force you to believe in what I believe in. I'm writing this post to let you know that you are not the only one who was hurt. You're not the only one who got disappointed and you're not the only one who shed tears.
But did it ever occur to you that maybe there is a reason behind all of this? That maybe this happened because we will learn something from it. If I remember it right, one popper once asked James on what has he done so far to defend Ann against her bashers as it was quite evident that poppers were doing their fair share of protecting and defending Ann. As per the poppers who witnessed that incident, they did not hear an answer from James, but it was clear on his face how worried he was when he asked Ann "Is that true?" After that time, we witnessed a lot of moments from James with some other girls. As I can remember, there was this one incident when Poppers invited James to a certain event and he already said yes when the other camp also asked James for an event on the same day. James then cancelled the date with the poppers saying it would be fair if he wouldn't say yes to any group, at least Ann won't get bashed.
I admit that I got hurt and am still hurting with the turn of the events. But looking back to the old JAMLI moments, the old simple hanging out, the old kulitan sa SKYPE, their SIMPLE TALK --- something hit me. It made me think, isn't this James' other way of protecting Ann? That he's only doing this to lessen her bashers knowing that a group of her so called fans are planning on ruining her and her career? Yes Ann is hurting too. Because James is her best friend. They used to hangout together, they used to share fun and happy moments together and yet now, James is hanging out with someone else.
Yes I am hurting, but I will continue to hold on to JAMLI no matter what. It is because of JAMLI that I've met true friends. It is because of JAMLI that I smile at the end of the day even though I am hurting. I'll take this event as a journey full of lessons to learn. I know this incident would not only make us poppers stronger, but it would also make James and Ann stronger and matured.
I am a SOLID POPPER from the start, and I will support JAMLI together or Ann and James as an individual. I will continue to hold on, because it was the JAMLI FRIENDSHIP that made me trust other people whom I haven't even met yet. It was because of JAMLI that I found TRUE FRIENDS that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I MAY BE HURTING RIGHT NOW, BUT I AM A SOLID POPPER AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. JUST HANG ON TIGHT POPPERS --- ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE'S ALWAYS A RAINBOW AFTER THE STORM :)
