The Poppers' ANNimated Princess

Hello everyone! It's been a while.

I know I've been gone for a while and I have not updated this blog with any post that has something to do with JAMLI lately that will somehow uplift your popper spirit. A lot of issues has gone out of proportion and a lot of poppers have been hurt. Well, this post will not be discussing about kilig moments. This will simply be expressing my own feelings on what has been happening.

Please bear with me as this may be one of my longest post.

I have been a popper for almost 11 months now and I still am even without updates and even with all those BVs. Id say I'm not the usual popper who's active on all JAMLI pages. I'm just contented on being a lurker and getting JAMLI updates. And yes I am a PBB Live Stream viewer. I sleep and wake up the same time with the house mates. Being a SOLID POPPER, I think I have the right to voice out my opinion on what has been happening and on how they're treating our dear Princess.

Let me start on how I became a fan of Ann Li. As we all know, she has not been given enough PRIME TIME exposure when they were still inside the house not like the other house mates, hence only few of the PRIME TIME viewers knew about her. But not the Live Stream viewers. It was because of LIVE STREAM that we saw who they really were. It is through LIVE STREAM that I for that matter became a fan of Ann Li and I bet most of the poppers are also watching LIVE STREAM during that time.

Ann Li, as what has been said during her PBB Intro is a Deligent Daughter. But that's not the only thing that we saw on her on LIVE STREAM. She's the normal BUBBLY TEENAGER. The over hyper and talkative girl. She brings smile and laughter inside the TEENTERS house, of course aside from KIMBANG. She also displayed her wide variety of talents which was never even showed on PBB (maybe the STAFF and the ABS like more DRAMA than what is real). She have shown her leadership skill during some challenges where she was chosen as the captain and she showed her MATURITY at a young age when issue arises inside the house.

A lot of people don't know that the age range of the poppers are teens from 15 to early 30s. I have known those younger poppers who always check for updates on the page everyday. I even asked a couple of them on why they like Ann and chose her instead of the other housemates, and their only answer were "Because she inspires us to do better and strive hard in achieving our dream. She is a GOOD ROLE MODEL." These teens were very diligent in voting for Ann when she was nominated the first time. They even saved their allowances and sometimes skip their breaks just to save the money and save Ann from the nominations which was somehow effective because Ann Li became a part of the TOP 7 housemates.

Now for my sentiments: I just can't accept the fact why the management keeps on ignoring Ann and why they kept on ignoring the efforts of her fans. I firmly believe that Ann Li has the MOST SOLID FAN BASE out of all the housemates. All the requests has been made. All surveys has been won. But why is it that she is still being IGNORED? I know a lot of us has just kept quite after she has been voted out of the house. We kept quite even if we knew that somehow we never wavered in supporting her and voting to save her. A lot of GLOBIES had sent out their support by giving loads and by buying E-PINS for Ann. She did not make it to the BIG 6 and we kept quite.

Then we poppers/Annimateds waited for her PBB UBER appearance that never happened. We questioned the management as all the ex-housemates had their stint in UBER and 1 housemate even had a week stint but we never received any answers from them, WE GOT IGNORED. So we moved on and waited for Ann to be featured in Manila Bulletin just like all the other ex-housemates, but we got disappointed again. A week, 2 weeks had passed when Ann was last seen inside the house but there where no Manila Bulletin feature for her. Again, WE GOT IGNORED. Out of all the housemates, she's the only one who has not been featured on UBER and on Manila Bulletin. We voiced out our complaints and sentiments, WE GOT IGNORED again so we moved on and decided that we will just continue supporting Ann and JAMLI.

Then, one big opportunity came for all of us poppers. THE ASAP TWEEN POPSIES. JAMLI was nominated along with 3 other love teams. We've fought a fair fight. We've voted to our hearts contents. Loads and cash from outside the country pour in to vote for JAMLI. Everyone made their own little sacrifice (although cutting your savings for your plane ticket going back to the Philippines is not A LITTLE SACRIFICE) to vote for JAMLI and to show everyone how strong our forces are. We won the battle --- 56% compared to other love teams. At last, all our efforts have paid off. Then we got the SHOCK of our lives, when another girl was paired up with James on ASAP BAGUIO episode a week after JAMLI won the TWEEN POPPSIES. If it weren't for poppers bombarding ASAP with tweets requesting/demanding for Ann to be in BAGUIO, they wouldn't even consider bringing her their. Another big effort of someone trying to DISREGARD all our efforts on the TWEEN POPSIES. Great job to the management!!! Thank you for IGNORING US AGAIN!

A lot of poppers have voiced out their sentiments on the TWEEN POPSIES incident on twitter and all sites of ABS. But it seems that they never noticed those comments. (I found this POPPER SHOUT OUT on the official site of JAMLI)

We continued supporting JAMLI whether as a pair or as an individual. JAMES was being paired with the other girl. Other housemates has been given projects while Ann was left at the side. Then shoutout came. Another opportunity for the poppers to be heard. They say that the show would simply showcase the talents of the teen idols while fulfilling the SHOUT OUT of the youth. Poppers bombarded the official site with JAMLI Requests but it was always JAMLI with the OTHER GIRL and JAMES was paired yet again with the OTHER GIRL (talk about granting the SHOUT OUT of the viewers). So another disappointment has been slapped right at our faces.

Then the biggest opportunity came. THE 3RD ANNUAL TWITTER SHORTY AWARD. Poppers and ANNimateds showed their support by nominating Ann on the FASHION CATEGORY. Yet again, all our joint effort paid off. Ann Li won the SHORTY AWARD FOR FASHION in New York City. We were all proud of her for winning. I guess as a fan we wanted to see how proud her HOME NETWORK was for her. We twitted them (abs personality and shows) but we never got any acknowledgement. The only person who acknowledge at the early morning after Ann won the award was Ogie Diaz (Thank you for the acknowledgement). Poppers and ANNimateds did not stop tweeting hoping that someone from the management would notice but  GOT IGNORED AGAIN. The only time they twitted they're congratulations to Ann was after the OTHER NETWORK twitted it. No news was broadcasted about Ann winning the Shorty Award for FASHION on her HOME NETWORK but the other network namely GMA 7 was the one who featured Ann on her WINNING NEW YORK MOMENT.

Yes I am a POPPER but my ANNimated heart is more powerful right now. They may keep on IGNORING all of our efforts, they may keep on IGNORING Ann. One thing is for sure, the hundred thousand fans of ANN LI will do everything to bring her to the TOP. We've already shown them our support by WINNING THE TWEEN POPSIES and we've already showed them how strong Ann's support base are by bringing her to NEW YORK and making her win the TWEEN POPSIES.

I know that a lot of you will agree with me if I say that, if they will keep on IGNORING Ann, we will bring the SPOTLIGHT to Ann. One thing is for sure, wherever Ann will go whether she'd be on another network, the ANNimated POPPERS will go with her.
