Stars Creation-Fans Obsession

One of my past times is surfing the net. Watching movies online and other people’s videos, and reading blogs of my friends, to not my friends, to totally unknown people. Sometimes, I would even end up in a celebrity’s blog site. It’s not that I know everything about everybody. It’s just that I found interesting things everywhere and putting it all together, I always come up with ideas.


Just recently, I was hooked up on following Japanese blogs. Some of them are celebrities. I read in some blogs that people are quarreling. Some blogs are being hacked. The most ridiculous thing I found out was posers are everywhere. Celebrities and ordinary people are being followed, have fans clubs, and unknowingly, there are people who pretends to be them. Ridiculously annoying, isn’t it?
I don’t really get it. 

Fans are good when they are in front of the idols. The bad side of them comes out when they are not in front of the well-known. They try to follow celebrities everywhere and treat them like some kind of Gods when the fact is that they are just mere mortals whose talent was discovered. Usually fans go gaga over their idols which are very insane.
I just have a question and I hope to get an answer in the near future.

If they wanted privacy, why would they put their pictures publicly in their accounts? They could use their pet’s pictures.

They would keep on posting blogs which contains their writings saying “Please fans, this is the real ______, stop fighting or bad-mouthing me. I’m not a fake. I have this and that and… You can ask him and her and… blah blah blah.” 

If they want to, they could just create fan pages. Or do what Justin Bieber is doing. He made his own way of connecting to his fans. He got a twitter account. Also Jin Akanishi, who sometimes, respond to the fan's tweets to him.
Obsession has two types. 

The bad obsession is when you become stupid. You scream outrageously because of your fancy mania with the celebrity with no valid reason at all. You throw things at them when they’re on stage. You stalk them everywhere. You try to hack their personal accounts online. You sleep outside their houses. You spread rumors that are not true. And you pretend to be them in some social sites. Isn’t that so ridiculous?

The next thing we knew, fans are already fighting at each other. 

For the side of the famous: Okay, so they knew about things like this. And all they would do is to plead that fans shouldn’t do such things or say that this certain site is theirs, etc etc. (I’m talking about the bad obsession part.) So I saw several blogs that proves it. When they’re spammed with hate comments already saying that the owner of the blog is just a bogus. They would send some sort of plead replies telling the sender that it is in actual fact them. They next thing you’ll see is the owner, telling his/her/their followers that they will transfer to another blog or social site already because they can’t take what the bad fans were doing. This also applies to normal people who have posers.

Is that all you can do? Going to another site because it’s killing you knowing that you have posers or some people are being bad to you because they wouldn’t believe any word you say? If you can’t take what the bad people are doing, what more if it’s already personal? If you can’t take it while you’re still in the early years of stardom of life, what more in the future? Hah! You’ll never survive in this world if you don’t know how to fight for your rights. You’ll never be someone worth of a personality star if you would just kept on running away from ghost who’s not even an inch worthy to be your impersonator.

Being someone unique to the eyes of the people has consequences you have to face. And as the owner of that soul, body and mind, you must know that it is your rights to fight for your own personality from someone who’s trying to steal it. And if you’re brilliant enough, you know they can’t do anything but talk bad about you. As long as you know who and what you are, you don’t have to plead for their mouths to shut up from pissing you.


People get famous because there is something about them that is cool. They create an impression to the mass people and they perform according to their skills to make a living or enjoy doing their skills while sharing it to other people.


The people who like them are called ‘fans’. They are the followers. They follow the famous people, they buy stuffs that the famous people endorses or creates, and they get addiction.


But there are different types of fans, good, stupid and the bad fans.
But there are also different types of famous people, good, bad, and in between.


Hey peeps, this is the online world where people could connect from all the sides of the world. I can’t blame anyone for this. But I can judge anybody for ruining ones personality because of his/her/their unruly obsession over someone. Trying to copy and pretend to be someone else is as dirty as trying to eat your own feces, do you know that?


The Good one is when fans support them by following their official blogs and saying Good Lucks, have their music in your player, you have posters or pictures of them and your know things about them. I mean things that were officially said from them of course. Not some make up stories and ideas. You support them 100% and you don’t fight with other fans. And you’re happy when they are happy.


The bad thing is, when the one you’re actually having fight with is the true one. You just won’t believe him/her/them.


All I'm just saying is, whether you're a fan or the star, be yourself, believe in yourself, and always be brave and good. In fresh result, you'll get more blessings.

Philippine Election - Small things can cause big outcomes...

Who are to blame? Should I trust them?

They said this… They said that… 
They promise here... They promise there.

In every country, there are rulers.
Every ruler is chosen by election process.
In every election, there are candidates.
Every candidate has to undergo different processes of selection in order to be approved as a candidate.
Every election period, the COMELEC releases DO’s and DONT’s for the candidates.

Do’s and Don’t’s on how they could campaign so the voters would know them.
Therefore, each candidate knew very clearly where they could put their fliers, posters, banners etc. They kept on promising that they would improve the lives and position of the people and the country if they were elected. Are they telling us truths or just another lies just like the previous candidates who were elected and had done nothing good to us and our country? They kept on promising things to the Filipinos but would they really do it afterwards? Why don’t they just do it now?

I’m just thinking about it. Good thing I’m still not a voter. If I am, I would probably not vote anybody. Why?
Simple things but if you sum it all, it could be a great disaster to the whole universe. I don’t know if I’m making sense to the readers, I just want to blurt out the opinions I have in my mind. 

What do you think of trees? To me, they’re living things. They are part of the nature. And they give balance to the whole Earth. The Hydrogen and Oxygen cycle, the Water and Evaporation Cycle, and the Flooding and the balance of nature. They have feelings, just like humans. They can get hurt and feel sadness, bitterness, happiness, jealousy etc. Taking care of them is like a laughing matter now to those people who are very uncaring. I don’t know what to call them. They are those people who think they own the Hollywood-like world. Socialites, always on the pubs and party’s, always going out for some goodie happy-go-lucky trips, always spending money for not worth while things, and doesn't care about the world, environment, and people who are not like them. 

Going back to the real reason why I’m writing this. I am very disappointed to the candidates of this year’s presidential election. I heard in the television that candidates cannot put their fliers, posters, etc. to some particular places. Like in private walls and properties… and the TREES. But as I was on my way to my province for a short vacation, and back to Manila, I was really sad to see the trees that were full of campaign materials from different candidates.

I can’t stop myself from telling my grandmother that I am now beginning to dislike and hate every candidates running for whatever positions they like. How am I going to let these candidates rule my country when they are not yet in the position to rule us and the country and look at what they’re doing already? They are destroying the Nature, buying votes, killing each other etc. 

Trees are not just trees. They shed millions of tears in every stapler bullets or nails that were put to them. They cry for help in every burden brought by those campaign materials they have to carry and keep posted, put by the minions of the candidates. And they know how to get revenge when all of them realize there are too many people who doesn’t care and aware about their real existence already.

Another thing, they got so many fliers. So many papers were made into campaign materials like that. Giving it all away like it’s just a piece of crap. But if you try to analyze it, how many trees were cut just to make all those fliers and posters? Yes, they are good campaign materials. People who saw those materials would remember who to vote and not to vote. But after the election, what will happen to those plastic posters and papers? 

They could have just held a big campaign meeting-de-avance-like in every barangays or cities. And continue meeting people, greeting them, shaking hands with them, etc. 

They could have just put the money they used in those campaign materials into more good use. Like they could give a feeding program and worthy workshops to people below poverty line and others who have difficulties looking for jobs. 

That’s a worthier deed.
That is a simpler action that could give deeper impact to the people. 

Now tell me, readers… Are they worth our votes, trusts, and lives? When even the simple “No campaign materials to be put on trees.” policy, they can’t even follow. They can’t even think of a worthier strategy to show that they really mean what they say. How could they make the Philippines a better country? Or maybe, it’s because they really don’t mean it?

Sorry to those who already have someone in mind to vote… Let me have the benefit of the doubt.


Sincerely,

Philippine Election -What's in it for me?

I'm just wondering. Since it's election time again, many are 'nagkukumahog' to run this time. And seeing what happened to the Philippines for the past few years, I wonder what could these bunch of runners can do for the country if ever they win the votes of many. 

Seeing the Philippines right now, it seems like there were really no good things that happened to make it a better living place. So many shortages, wars, inflation and unattended pending help from those who were struck by the calamities we have encountered.



Just recently, in my Economics class, we had reporting by groups. My group tackled about the Finance thingy of the Philippines and the next group discussed about the Trading thingy. The Galleon era and the era now. We have learned that the current 'utang' (debt) of the Philippines in the World Bank is about Php 300 billion now or something close to that. (not really sure)




The Philippines was born to be one of the most blessed country in the World. So gifted.
But how come we belong to the 3rd world countries?
How come we can't even pay our debts?
How come Filipinos were born very gifted but people chose to be so dumb instead?
We're an agricultural country but how come we can't even supply our own with the basics needs?
How come we have so many laws but we're so poor in following it?
How come we have so many buildings and techs like 'nakikipagsabayan tayo kahit papaano' but then, so many children can't go to school?
How come they were fixing the roads and the industrial buildings but can't fix the needies?
How come there are people who dies of being hit by cars just under the overpass?
How come there are so many talented Filipinos but they kept on focusing the fame to those who brings so much money for themselves and not for the country?
How come most of the successful businessmen are foreign and not from our own race? And we tend to make 'samba' and use these foreign items when ours are more beautiful naman?
How come 'ung sariling atin, mas mahal'?
How come we have so many 'libreng school para sa mahirap "daw"', and yet so many Filipinos can't attend schools?
How come there are so many 'how come's? Can't we make a difference?
How can these candidates of 2010 Elections serve the Philippines? Can they make a difference? Is that difference going to be good or bad?




Pinapalaki nila ung mga daan kasi daw para di na masyadong trapik. 

Totoo ba? nabawasan ba ung trapik? Hindi naman. Madami kasing makukuha dun. Wala un sa daan. Nasa gumagamit un.



Bakit sa Japan at States, maliliit ung mga public highways nila pero maayos naman? Diretso pa mostly ung mga daan, hindi paliko-likong parang spaghetti. Wala magulong trapik. 


Kasi maayos ung laws nila. Hinuhuli ung dapat hulihin. Inaayos ung dapat ayusin. Walang kotong. Walang gitgitan. Nasa iisang lane kaya hindi buhol buhol.

Ung bicycle lane nila, para lang talaga sa bicycles at skaters. Sa ibang bansa nga, may Horse lanes pa. Bakit satin hindi pwedeng ganun??? Kasi pati ung bicycle lanes ginagawang car lanes or paradahan. Anong silbi nun?




Gusto kong makasakay ng malayo sa kabayo pag may lakad akong hindi ganun kaimportante. Gusto kong maranasan mag-skates or mag-bike when going somewhere without thinking that I might not be safe cause I might get hit by a car or something.




Gusto kong makakita ng kandidatong nakikipagkamay sa taong grasa. 


Gaano ba sila maka-tao? Gaano sila mapagkunwari? Gaano nila makakayang humalik sa lupa?



It's not about kung sinong galing sa mahirap.

It's not about kung sinong they thought is para sa mahirap.

It's about kung sinong tatayong magpapakahirap.

It's not about kung sinong mag-aahon satin sa kahirapan.

It's not about kung sinong magbibigay satin ng tulong para yumaman.
It's about kung sinong maglalakas loob to make the lives of each and every Filipinos pantay pantay.
Walang mahirap, walang mayaman. Nagtutulungan, nagmamahalan, nagbibigayan.



Gusto kong makakita ng kandidatong namamalengke sa wet market para magpakain ng mga malnourished people, hindi nangangampanya sa dry market with his/her bodyguards with matching banda's.




Gusto kong makakita ng tunay na pagbabago. Gaya ng pangarap ng mga taong tunay na nakakakita sa reyalidad na nangyayari sa bansa at sa mundo.
