Reminiscing: remember the old songs (boyband fever)

I am a part of the generation who got so caught up with the boybands and that their songs ruled over the radio airwaves since I got in my sophomore year in highschool. Among my batch, who would forget the songs like This I Promise You, My Love, Like A Rose, Shape of my Heart and All or Nothing? My girl classmates all shouted for the names like Ben, Shane, Bryan and Justin with the big posters they bought somewhere not to mention that these posters cost more than the amount they get for their dafily allowance.

Recently, I browsed some of my old stuffs and found a copy of my favorite boybands album but it cannot be played anymore since it has a lot of scratches already in it which makes me a little sad considering that I spent some hundreds to buy it and now, I can't even listen to it. Sad. Makes me believe that at 20, I am so old...haha. But my optimism never failed me, I logged in to YouTube and tried to look for the songs and I found copies of it. Haha. Lucky me!

When I listened to the songs, I can't help but remember the grueling times I had upon graduating elementary and entering a new phase they call "highschool". It makes me reminisce the time when I go to the nearest bookstore or newsstand just to check if a1 (my favorite boyband,THEN!) has released a new album or the song magazines have had a new interview about their private lives or anything like that which may fancy me....hmmm...I wonder how much I spent buying those things... I hope I just saved it so that I could watch their concert here in the Philippines in 2001...

When you were a kid, a young kid with no real responsibility and has little obligation and has all the liberty to do everything you want as long as it does not interfere with your parents' parental power and does not require you to be out of their sight. You can mess with a lot of people and still, they won't mind you because you are young....But reality strikes... just like your favorite boyband which got disbanded because of their own personal reasons.... we also grow old... we need to grow up and we will never be boys forever...never be LITTLE boys forever...
