Coming Out

So my sister and I have been fans of Charice for quite a while now and consider ourselves as Chasters but we've never attended any Chaster gathering or met up with any of them during Charice's concerts / appearances. 


Because we've met a lot of people who uncontrollably expresses their dislike for Charice, we've become experts in controlling our facial expressions, our hands, our words, and our emotions in order to come out as the better person in every encounter. 


What we weren't equipped for, is meeting someone with uncontrollable love for her. So we made sure we steered clear of that sort of person. And since there were two of us updating each other and feeding on our Chasterdom, the need to connect with another Chaster was not of immediate necessity.


Then came this charity project we believe in (Chasters' Voice of Love). Well, of course, in order to join and be a volunteer, it only makes sense that we show up, right? Yes, we could have just sent in cash donations electronically but some sadistic Chaster (I'm looking at you beda026) specifically included in the write-up that it is not encouraged to do so. And we were also invited to attend the final meeting of the project's committee members.


So my sister and I went out to meet up with them (1) to express and display our interest, support and commitment in said project and (2) to finally come out and meet Chasters in real life. For reason #1, we exchanged ideas, assigned tasks, and over all had a very productive day. As for the second reason, it wasn't what we've been dreading - meeting them felt natural, as if we were just waiting to meet, as if we've been friends for a long time.


And so the story of our self-imposed Chaster-seclusion ends. Unfortunately, not in a happily-ever-after fashion. Haha! Because now we've got tasks to complete which we haven't even started on yet. Manager better cut us some slack (notice the blog post time below). Those tasks require brain usage after all.


Hah! And now I had to go on plurk and sign up. The things I learn as a Chaster. My karma better go up. =P
