Letter from a Reader: The Nosy and Noisy Fan

Dear FP,

I am one of those quiet readers of your blog and often I wonder where you get your sources. However, more than the stories, what I like are the views of your readers. Anyways, I would like to narrate an incident I personally witnessed while in the MRT last week. It was around 8pm and I was on my way to Makati.

These two girls boarded the train at Quezon Ave. My attention was caught because one of them was speaking very loudly. Apparently, both of them came from a network taping. Girl 1 was talking about how she went to several tapings; her “Ate T” was taping for her fantaserye; how a certain PA left this celebrity so this celeb and her sis had to carry their bags; how another personality had to change her “panty” during a taping (Girl 2 was quiet all the time until she corrected Girl 1 to say “underwear”); how some fans of Ate T got held-up and lost their BBs while on their way somewhere, among others. Girl 1 even said she attended the taping of a talk show of the sis of her Ate T. That was when I finally figured out who she was talking about.

I wanted to shut her up but the crowd got thicker and I did not want to leave my seat. Despite the distance and the crowd between us, I could still hear that fan yapping. My thoughts were full of pity for the celebrity who was being talked about one of her fans in such a public place with so many people hearing even if they do not want to. I only wanted to share this experience to let your readers from the different networks know how certain fans behave publicly (and then they question the credibility of your BIs).

Thank you.
