When I first found out about the sudden death of Aj Perez, I was shocked.
I quickly surfed the net to find some news and updates. But despite the confirmations, I still refused to believe it. Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. I was intensely depressed.
I even cried when I started to reminisce my memories of Aj Perez.
Nope, we're not close.
I cannot even call him my friend because honestly, he's not.
We're not even related to each other.
I am just one of his "fangirls".
Aj is just one of my local celebrity crushes.
But I know deep inside that being his fan is not the only reason why I am mourning.
I am sure there's something more than that but I cannot explain it.
OA na kung OA pero super affected talaga ako. :-<
Maybe because, Aj really became a part of my teenage life.
I can still remember waking up at 10 in the morning every Saturday to watch Abt ur Luv.
I can still remember shouting "Hindi nga tomboy si Nelle, ikaw gusto niya!" even though I know Josh cannot hear me. =)))
I can still remember giggling and rolling on the bed whenever Josh and Nelle tease each other.
I can still remember the non-stop talking with my friends about the latest episode of Abt ur Luv.
I can still remember fighting over the boys.
"Akin si Blue!"
"Akin si Bill!"
"Akin si Josh!"
I can still remember watching the mall tour of Gigger Boys at Alabang Town Center.
And last but definitely not the least, in fact it is the best among the rest, I will never ever forget our Candy Fair moments. We've been there for three straight years! Sometimes, whenever my friends and I remember those moments, we cannot help but laugh. We even called those memories "our jeje days".
We line up just to ask the Candy Cuties to sign our magazines.
We roam around the venue, asking the Candy Cuties to have our picture taken with them.
We drive at least two hours just to attend the fair.
Sino ba namang gagawa non diba? =)))
But even though for some of you those memories are full of "kabaduyan", for me, those memories are special and I know, I will forever treasure those moments.
Candy Fair will always be a part of our lives.
I guess it is one of the reasons why my friends an I are closer than ever. :">
And now that Aj is gone, I am sure Candy Fair will never be the same.
Candy Fair 2009 (Ondoy)
The most memorable Candy Fair! Maybe because, we surpassed so many obstacles just to be able to go there.
Imagine, almost 8 hours yata kami sa daan. And according to the magazine, the fair will end at around 4 or 5. Super wala na kaming pag-asa na may maabutan pa kami kasi mga 4 ata wala pa kami sa venue. =))))
But when we got there, the emcees just called Dino and Aj. Super duper saya na namin after that. Super okay na, kasi sila lang din naman ipinunta namin dun eh. Haha! :">
At dahil konti lang pumunta, hindi na mahirap makipag interact sa kanila. Hihi! Super sarap ng feeling after nun. The best.
And now that Aj is gone, Candy Fair will never be the same.
