(Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive)

How many of you still remember being obsessed with the Backstreet Boys (BSB)? How many of us are ashame to admit that you used to go nutz over these 5 gents from Florida? You know what? I need closure. So forgive me, in advance, if I had embarassed you in any way possible or mentioned something that may not sound close to being true... hey, I'm the one writing this story now aite!

How long has it been? For me it started about 10years ago. I was only 15 and cute guys like Nick Carter made me blush! I was one of the rare girls who adores BSB when everyone else talks about Take That. I felt left out but not once did I care.

I remembered one afternoon in school Francisca announced that BSB will have an autograph session in Tower Records that very day. I could almost felt my leg giving way. Its an opportunity I couldn't possibly miss. So we rushed home quickly to change, there's 4 of us, Rose, Salyza, Francisca and myself...

We got disappointed when the Tower Record staff announced that there are no more entry passes left. Nevertheless, we continued squeezing in the queue line and probably we were meant to meet these boys as Mr. Security actually let us passed! I can see the other girls glaring at us in envy! I felt like it was the best day of my life, ever!

Its a day we girls relived over and over again. We relate the story to every girls' envy. Haha... it felt awesome. Years passed and the obsession grew. I spent hundreds of dollars every month on magazines, CDs, imported CDs, track singles, merchandises and many others that I could not even recall right now.

There's nothing more exciting then to meet fellow BSB fan on the street and be proud for what we believed in. You have no idea how many people I've known and befriends with thanks to BSB. I will name them, I will... I am so proud to tell the world, BSB had built so many friendships of mine. Jane, Susanah, Stephanie, Lindsay, Lianne, Kym, Kate, Rina Marini, Rachel, Siti, Yam, Jessica, Shireen, Josephine, The Backdoor Girls, ... darn, I forgot some names but its alright. Its the thought that counts.

So the legacy ended a couple of years back and what remained is the friendship. We don't find the need to talk about BSB no more. They "left" us for good. We accepted the fact that they did so we moved on. Over the years we had grown up and learned to not care anymore. Hehe... and guess what! They came back? Like F**K!

I just saw them on MTV Diary and damn I hate watching them now. Remember Frick & Frack? Looks like the Frick & Frack now is Howie and Nick! AJ's Mr. Oh-I-Can't-Go-Near-Alcohol and the other 2 are Mr. I'm-So-Married. What the f**k is going on! This is so anti-climax. Actually I would expect such since they're not the age they used to be back then. Kevin was 28 when they started, how old do you think he is now? Nick Carter still thinks he's the BABY OF THE BAND! *sigh*

They had accomplished so much the first time round that now, they're out to have fun, or so they say. I would have really wished those guys would have acted their age and try not to think as themselves like they were before 10 years ago. Its just so... passe!

By the by, I've finally let it off my chest. To my boyfriend. who's still sleeping at this point of time, YES I used to be a BSB fan and I am saying it oh so proudly. I'm over that phase now... I got my closure ... *clap clap*!
