Erich: You'll Never be my Heroine!

The world is about to end…. No, it’s not because I got the email about the third message that the Our Lady of Lourdes gave Lucia…. It’s because Hero Angeles might be paired with that Erich from Star Circle Quest 2!

I remembered I did an interview for that same show asking me who my Top 5 are. I have to admit again I don’t get to follow that show religiously so with the coaching of some insiders from ABS-CBN, they gave me their own personal Top 5…. And Erich was one of them. And with blind faith to my insider friends, I announced on national TV that Erich will be one of my Top 5! So when I learned about Hero and Erich, I wanted to call ABS-CBN to not air my interview anymore but it was too late. The interview was aired days ago I learned of that pairing and I just had to resign to the fact that I sort of endorsed Erich.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve never met Erich and her face doesn’t even register to my mind. She hasn’t done anything to me but the mere fact that she’s being paired with Hero, she’ll never be in my Christmas list.

My friends who watch Star Circle Quest 2 say that Erich is a very strong contender. She’s always gets the highest marks from the judges and text voters like her. It won’t take Sherlock Holmes to say that she can be the winner since a) she’s a girl b) she’s a potential pair for Hero c) it would be perfect since Hero is a Grand Questor, why not pair him with a fellow Grand Questor?

Oh well. I might as well accept the inevitable. But honestly, I’ve never felt affected when Hero was paired with Sandara. Maybe all along that I know she’s not exactly his type…and that Sandara is really going out with Joseph Bitagcol. In fact when Sandara left for Korea, Talent Center sent me an official statement about her going to Korea. I just felt indifferent. It didn’t make me feel elated because now I know I’ll get Hero on my own. I really felt nothing….well except the letter made me laugh a little because it ended with Sandara’s trademark “Mahal ko kayo.”

Anyway, back to Erich (does she have a family name by the way?). Friends expect me to hate her and I won’t let them down. But poor Erich…..for her to be the receiving end of my hate feelings just because she might get paired with Hero. But she’s an artista, already a public figure and is fair game for opinions towards her, whether good or bad. Yet in fairness to the girl, I would feel this way to any other one paired to Hero!

Rikka Dylim (PR of Talent Center) told me that she's been receving a lot of emails that they like Hero for Erich. I certainly respect their opinion but i secretly told myself if I can bribe people to send emails saying that Erich or any other girl isn't good for Hero, I'd do it! If only I can rally everyday in front of the ABS-CBN studios to NEVER pair Hero with anyone, I’d certainly do that. But reasoning and what’s little left of my sanity is what’s keeping me to do that. Besides, I have family and friends who would miss me if I don’t show up anymore to them because if ever I will proceed with my rally, I’d be so devoted that I’d be in ABS-CBN 24/7 just fighting for my cause!

A lot of times, I was tempted to call Hero… to confront him if this were all true… that he likes Erich and that there’d be no chance for us anymore snag our Hero. But again, some mysterious force keeps stopping me to do that. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just afraid for him to think I’m some psycho who wants Hero all to himself. But if ever he thinks that, he couldn’t be farther from the truth. I just don’t want him to think that me being a borderline psycho is indeed the truth!

I admit I’m turning green, blue, red, orange and pink with envy towards that Erich girl. For her to be called “sweetie” by Hero…. For her to be the potential pair of Hero….

Again, don’t get me wrong. I’m sure Erich is pretty. I’m sure she possesses some iota of talent. I’m sure she has a certain X-factor for her to come this far in Star Circle Quest….

Don't take this personally Erich. But this should serve as a warning to Erich and to anyone who would be paired to Hero…. You will never be my heroine!
