Dear Carding, Gusto kong malaman mo na masaya ako na nakilala kita, sa mahigit isang taon nating pagiging magka-penpal, lagi mo ako napapasaya, lagi mong sinasabi sa akin na, gusto mo ako, na mahal mo na ako kahit hindi mo pa ako nakikita.

Carding, hindi ko alam kong ano eksakto itong nararamdaman ko, pero I think I’m falling in love with you. Lagi kitang iniisip, paulit-ulit kong binabasa ang mga sulat mo, nalulungkot ako pag hindi ka sumusulat at sabik akong buksan ang bawat sulat mo. Sino ba ang mag-aakalang aabot tayo sa ganito Carding samantalang milya-milya ang layo natin sa isa’t-isa?  Sana hindi ka magbago at sana magkaroon ako ng pagkakataong umuwi dyan sa Pilipinas upang personal kitang makita at makausap. Hihintayin ko ang sulat mo.

Nagmamahal, Cathy.

The Rewards and Costs of a Celebrity-Fan Relationship

Chapter 1

Introduction

Huge posters, ecstatic faces, loud screams --- all of these present in a celebrity-fan gathering. In a country where everything is a hype, from the latest fashion to the presidency, celebrities and fans are a common sight.
            They always go together. A person cannot be called a celebrity if he has no following and of course, there won't be fans if there is no celebrity. Jenson (1992, 10) said that, "The fan is understood to be, at least implicitly, a result of a celebrity - the fan is defined as a response to the star system".

Celebrities in the 21st century may be considered a celebrity in a lot of ways. They may be "extraordinary or they are 'just like us'; they deserve their success or they 'just got lucky'; they are objects of desire and emulation or they are provocations for derision and contempt; they are genuine, down-to-earth people or they are complete phonies" (Turner, 2004).
            Celebrities come in many forms. They could be from the tri-media: television, radio and the newspaper. These include performers, newscasters, anchors, disc jockeys, producers, directors, even reporters. Some, as Turner mentioned, are extraordinary and some 'just like us'. The Reality TV shows for one, is a breeding ground of people 'just like us' in becoming celebrities. The Kimerald¹ and the Melason² phenomena have captured the whole nation during and after Kim Chui and Gerald Anderson's and Melai and Jason's stay at the Big Brother House as part of the Pinoy Big Brother³ (Teen Edition) and Pinoy Big Brother (Double Up Edition) shows, respectively.
            Ordinary folks who became celebrities were Efren Penaflorida⁴, declared CNN Hero of the Year in 2009 and Charice Pempengco⁵, a now world-renowned singer, discovered via another medium which is the Internet, specifically YouTube.com⁶.

The "Optimus Prime" of Gay Language

  Chuk chak chienes. Chika. Ching. Chenelin. Etchos. Etchoserang palakang kokak. These are just some of the words in gay languages across time. From parlor talk to entertainment talk and now, becoming part of the mainstream talk for some high schools and colleges and industries such as the call center industry, gay lingo is one variety of language that is as interesting as French, as old school as Latin, as romantic as Spanish and as both simple and complex as the lingua franca of the world, the English language.
