Have you ever felt so proud about people around you? Even if you just a small group of people, you still feel proud having them around?
I just experienced this lately.
And maybe you know what I want to talk about. Yes, it is. My tiny fandom of Surabaya Chankapaanas.
Lately I feel really proud whenever thinking about them, whenever thinking about how fate can group us together, how that 4-member group can thigthen us who have never met before.
It's a strange thing when I take a deep analysis about it. By meeting them, I really realize that everythings happend for a reason. Our meeting happends for a reason. I still don't know what exact reason it is, but the one that I know is I've met an exact person in exact time.
Let me tell about a funny coincidence. In my university, there are many clubs that the freshmen can join. Usually they will hold an event to promote their clubs and then all of freshmen come to choose which one they like. Personally I look at a club that has Japan influence in it, so that time when I still a freshman I want to go into Japanese culture club (actually it's a foreign language club that divided by many division according the foreign language, and Japanese is one of them) and kendo club. I've registered myself to that two clubs, so I just came to ther welcome party next.
But it didn't go as my plan. My first two semesters were so busy with my department's interal event, especially it set for the freshmen. Because of that, I didn't have any time to think about the two clubs because I'm too busy to attend those events (well if I think about it now, it was my fault to not having a good schedule for myself). So I didn't go to those welcome parties and I've never come to their meet-up routine, until now when I've been in my fourth year of university.
Time flies, I've discovered a lot of new things, met with a lot of new friends, including those Chankapaanas in Surabaya. My meeting with them was a really memorable one that always make me giggle everytime I remember it. Let's say that our meeting was guided by fate so we can gather like this. Ah I want to talk about it later in my next post maybe, about my history in loving NEWS.
We've come this far, until I discovered one thing that make me realize that everythings happend for a reason.
Two of my Paana friends are from my university, one of them has been graduated while the other is my one year senior. And guess what, one of them was a member of Japanese club and the other one is still a member of kendo club.
I was like, "OMG we should have met before!"
Yes.
It's so funny to think that we should have met earlier if I choosed to attend the two clubs that time. We should have laughed together earlier if I can keep up my schedule to attend clubs meet up routine.
But that time I haven't love NEWS so I think we just become a usual friend even if we met earlier. So it make me think that I've experienced that "meeting an exact person in exact time". No one know if we can this close even if we met earlier or later. We just met at the exact time, and that's what make us unite now.
That's why I really love this tiny fandom.
Even if there are many big fandoms out there, I still proud of my own fandom. Even if we just eight person fangirling for four idols, I still treasure this always-lovey-dovey fandom. And I've never been this happy being in tiny, minor fandom.
Because meeting them is my destiny, so I'll treasure it forever.
I miss you girls! *chu
my thought : destiny,
fandom : news
