I've been sitting on this for a long time na. A part of me doesn't want to comment and let the issue die a natural death but recent posts made me decide I can't keep silent anymore.
I am not related to James and I can't boast of us being friends because we're not. We've seen each other on several occasions but until he calls me by my first name and not greet me by a generic greeting, I am still an ordinary fan.
I've only been here in this group for less than a year but I can safely say I know everything that has happened here kasi I reviewed all the messages since the group's birth. I understand that everything about James is our concern and whatever he does and says is our business but we ought to draw the line somewhere.
This is the first time and hopefully the last I will comment about James' love affairs. My heart goes out to Nina, Nina Ricci, Paula and Kris for they all got violent reactions from almost everybody here. Their supposed sin: wala lang naman, they got involved with James.
Nina, for they're not together anymore and she still gets maligned and ridiculed in this group. I've never met her, used to see her at the games before and all the talk here of her being panget is so not true. I do find her pretty. Whoever said she's not has a problem with insecurity and should consult a shrink. The issue just recently discussed here about her was FYI, old news. I just don't have the time to check who brought it up and resurrected the issue but the forum post quoted was two years old already. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I do remember reading that item when I was reviewing past messages here in this group. James was still in UE then, so how old would an issue be before you consider old?
Nina Ricci, for creating quite a stir and be labeled a flirt. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and were able to come out unscathed before things get out of hand. Good for her.
Paula, for having her Friendster account gets checked out a hundred times a day and having been swamped with invitations just so people could confirm if she and James are indeed going out. I'm wishing her all the best and may people not find fault in her to avoid getting her name in their hate list. May she have the patience to put up with people all trying to befriend her all because she is James' new girl.
Kris, for yet adding another thousand to the growing number of people who hate her for being Kris Aquino. Whatever relationship they have at the moment, wala na po tayong pakialam doon. If they choose to hang out with each other, it's not for us to decide. We cannot choose for James and he is not obliged to ask our opinion on who he's going to be friends with. No matter what we think of Kris, if she and James are really good friends, there's nothing we can do. Hindi po sa ipinagtatanggol ko si Kris, I don't like her either. I used to like her but after the Joey brouhaha, I've given up on her. She's not perfect but so are we. James included. We may not like her for James but be reminded that there are always two sides to the coin. Showbiz people and the general public see James as an insect trying to ride on the phenomenon that is Kris. Kung hindi po natin s'ya gusto para kay James, hindi rin po nila gusto si James para kay Kris. Argue with me on the popularity issue but the glaring fact is, Kris is more popular than James. James become known only to the general public because he got linked to Kris (as my showbizzy friend would prove to me). Everybody knows Kris, there's no escaping her.
Madali po kasing magsalita ng kahit ano laban sa isang tao, ang mahirap ay tumingin sa salamin at itanong sa ating mga sarili kung may karapatan ba tayong magsalita ng masama laban sa kanila.
If you have things to say, na hindi po maganda about sa mga taong nasa paligid ni James, talk to your friends, in private, huwag po post sa buong group. They may have friends and relatives na member din dito and natural lang po na masaktan sila sa mababasa nila. Kung tayo po ang nasa kalagayan nila, maha-hurt din naman tayo, 'di ba?
Again, I would like to reiterate, it's not for us to decide who James see or date. We can only wish James the best of everything he gets himself into, that is, for him to be more successful in his basketball career and to find true happiness with regards to his personal life.
If you have any comments, reactions (negative or otherwise), feel free to e-mail me. Don't send it to the group, send it to me directly.
Good day everyone.
