James Yap Yahoo Group Membership Privileges
Join This Group!
The moment you clicked on that box you are doomed, er, entitled to great things. Let me count the ways.
1. You become an official member of the group (of course, silly).
2. You get to interact with fellow James Yap fans and maybe even end up being friends with your co-members.
3. You get updated on what's happening with James and the team even if you didn't understand what Jason Webb, Dominic Uy, Eric Reyes and Peter Martin said in their reports.
4. You don't need to buy newspapers, magazines or visit their websites for news about James, Purefoods, the PBA, and Philippine basketball in general. Lots of good souls here who share them with us, thank you very much.
5. You start to realize (first time in your life you have been presented real proof) that people are so different from each other, you now stop wondering why the term "world peace" can win you crowns in beauty pageants.
6. You tend to be shocked at the words used by your co-members to emphasize their points. Really, people, forgot what they taught you in GMRC class?
7. You're torn between exasperation and disgust (well okay, pity) at Friendster, Myspace, hi5 and Ringo invitations sent to the whole group. (Ooh, you've got a lot of friends, great! So how do you know Dobby? What, you don't know who he is and you've got him in your list?! Whoa, this is a popularity contest!)
Same goes to forwarded e-mails that do nothing but clog your inbox.
8. You begin to accept that not everybody who has an e-mail account knows how to reply to e-mails. You just have to be patient, look for it in the middle, at the bottom of the page and sometimes replies come with the wrong replies. It will force you to ask yourself if it's just you or your computer, which is which?
9. If you haven't realized it yet, you have now, the group, the perfect example of what's wrong with our society. That you can always ridicule, malign, curse to oblivion, and insult a public figure (in our case, the players, the coaching staff, the management, James sometimes and the girls in his life) and be perfectly fine with it. But the moment you do the same thing to non-public figures (that means all of us here) it's like you've just committed the most heinous crime known to mankind.
And if you try to be clever by giving someone a dose of his own medicine, that someone will cry foul and tell the whole group how mean you are. C'mon, you reap what you sow, man!
9. Patience is a virtue. So they say. So if your co-members said something stupid, just grin and bear it. It's your choice you joined this group.
10. This may sum it all up, being a member of this group forced my gray matter working double time to answer a question that popped up on my mind the first week I'm a member here. Why do the members here hate every girl who gets involved with James?
Why indeed?
See, these are all but just few of the reasons why you are so lucky you are a member of this group. So just sit back and relax when you're reading your mails.
Important Rule:
There is nothing wrong with voicing your own opinion but everything comes with responsibility. Remember the golden rule. Treat others only in ways that you're willing to be treated in the same exact situation. And please, please don't speak about things you know nothing of.

James' Social Life
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.
