Getting older

Wait, what? She's younger?! When did they become younger?


I started following H!P, more likely Momo, back in March of 2009, when I was only yet 13 years old.

At that time, I was seeking for a figure to look-up to. And it started that way. Momo was cute, she was talented, full of personality. It was interesting how these girls were almost my age, but were doing things that were way, way above an average person like me can ever do.

Somewhere into 15-16, I began to fall in love with Morning Musume, particularly Platinum Era, even though at that time the actual Momusu was transitioning to Colorful era. I was at the age where I was developing into a young lady, and these gorgeous, young women that were far more talented than the kids I got used to might had been something I desired myself to be. Even now I believe that the personality I have acquired or developed into years after was heavily influenced by H!P, in general.

So while I'm following Momusu of the present (joining of 9ki, 10ki, and so forth), I was also tracing back their history (Haromoni's, Hello!Morning's, Alo-Hello's). Then of course, no matter how awesome the past was, you can't also help but love and even more appreciate the present for that.

So I began picking here and there of the girls I find interesting and I like, well, since you can't bring back the past, graduated members. I've also began to love Kyuto for their long history and well, yes, they're gorgeous. So I found Ishida here, Uemura there, generally I follow the entire Momusu except for few. Masaki is cute, I am hopeful for Ogata, Honey's interesting too... I really like Ishida. She's funny, she can be real gorgeous at photos (well I've never seen her in flesh) and a very good dancer.

Then I found out that she is the same age as my younger bro. They share the same birthdate.

Wait. What?

It feels like when you had to double-look to make sure you're right about the thing you thought you saw.

Well my younger bro is just a year younger, so it's not that big of a difference but still,... It did feel like I had to look back, because it was only then I realized, everyone is now younger.

Younger.

They are younger.

I'm older?

Damn.

It quite left me puzzled. It felt different to be aware of such fact, to come to know of it. Maybe it feels weird, because I no longer hold the same reason I followed them in the first place. It was new. It's new.

Because maybe I'm as lifeless I could get, that I still sought to these girls to fill me with some kind of happiness. of enjoyment. I was beginning to understand when they say wotas treating/lavishing on it like a hobby, no, I'm not on that lavishing part yet, but I guess I now share the same sentiments they probably have.

It's almost like a hobby.

While this is not absolutely true, or they had chosen it themselves, for me it was because my past/free time is consist of nothing.

So I go back to their videos, check updates, have fun, enjoy their little successes, laugh at their antics, amaze at their improvement, admire their beauty and their flaws altogether. Because I have nothing else to do, they're the immediate entertainment, and yeah I'm still interested no matter how a teeny-weeny bit of myself wants to outgrow it.

Yeah, H!P.

I'm still here.




Without the Elder club and OG members, all we have left in H!P are the young members.

Momochi and Maimi are the same age as me but everyone else is all young...ah.
