Because of Kimerald

One year into KG addiction and my life has never been the same. My life has turned several degrees, enough to create some changes in my life that even I myself was surprised. :D

One of the 'drastic' change in my life was my lack of enthusiasm in reading books anymore. If my friends from my book forum would read this, they would have gasped collectively in surprise. LOL That's because I've been one of those fast readers who could read a book in a day or two, especially if it is very interesting. I could talk about books nonstop and have a lot of opinions too.

However, since I got hooked on Kimerald, books (especially romance books, which i'm very fond of) have lost their appeal to me. I have picked up several of the books I bought but I got bored with them immediately. Thus, I havent read books for months since I've been tickled pink by Kim and Gerald's real chemistry. The hopeless romantic in me was touched and nothing else could match the giddiness, thrill, exhilaration that Kim and Gerald brings.

Because of Kimerald, I finally devoted a lot of time in writing. One of my ambition before was to be a journalist and almost took up journalism in college. That's because I've enjoyed writing eversince I was in high school. For several year's, one of my new year's resolution was to devote time in writing. And for those years, I despair at the end of the year when I look back at my NY resolutions and found out that I had not done any writing at all. But since I decided to write Kimerald fan fiction, I found myself devoting several hours each time, painstakingly writing chapters for KGFFs. And I noticed that as time passed, writing was not as difficult as it was before, especially if I devote time to do it each night.

Because of Kimerald, I could finally say to myself that I'm a writer. LOL Thanks to the inspiration they bring, and thanks to the KGFF readers as well because they pushed me to challenge myself - and finish one full-length story as well as several short stories.

Because of Kimerald, I have become very opinionated - with regards to the showbiz. Before, I could care less what others would say about the stars I like, but with Kimerald, I had engaged in discussion and argument and sometimes even fights with those envious people who put Kimerald down. I used to be passive and indifferent to the local (and even international) showbiz, but with Kimerald, OMG, I have a lot to say.

Because of Kimerald, I've been very industrious in sending emails, when before I am one of the worst email correspondents even to friends and family. I think sending emails took a lot of time but with Kimerald, I hardly think its an effort at all.

Because of Kimerald, I've become a frequent YM chatter. I had no patience with chat before but since I've made friends with fellow Kimerald fanatics, I've been immersing myself in YM just to get the latest update on Kimerald or simple drive myself insane about Kimerald with my other fellow Kimerald certifiable.

Because of Kimerald, spoiler has been deleted from my vocabulary. LOL When watching movies, tv shows or even reading books before, I get annoyed when somebody would spoil the ending for me. But with Kimerald, I wanted to know immediately what happened like in Tayong Dalawa for example. Thanks to Gina and Dawn and the others who patiently type the play by play of TD each day in BAOs thread, TD is already spoiled for me when I watch it at home. LOL

These are just some of the changes in me ever since I got hooked on kimerald. If I remember something else, I'd make it into part 2.

What about you? Has there been any changes in your life or your preferences since you got hooked on Kimerald too? :D
