Hmm… I gifted AA a paracord keychains during the AshDres fan meet, but let’s be real, paracords aren’t limited editions. They’re widely available, so having one doesn’t automatically mean it came from a particular person.
One thing I've really appreciated throughout all of this is the encouragement and advice from fellow fans who know how to speak with both logic and compassion. The ones who stay gentle, positive, and understanding, but are also firm when needed. Noong May dami kong nababasa. Past and recent posts.
This fandom needs people like you. You help calm the anger, disappointment, and confusion. You help fans like me make sense of emotions that sometimes feel overwhelming and difficult to move past.
Honestly, I don't think I would have recovered from everything that happened in April without the support and perspectives shared by many of you. So thank you. 🫶🏻
I still have a few doubts lingering in the back of my mind, but I know they'll eventually fade. At one point, I was only holding on by 10%. Now I'm probably at 65%. Healing takes time, but it's happening.
What I've learned, though, is that boundaries are necessary. Loving and supporting someone shouldn't mean losing perspective. When we don't set boundaries, the disappointment hurts so much more. We need to question things, think things through, and avoid believing everything immediately. It sounds basic, but it's easy to forget when emotions take over.
To the Keepers who stepped away, come back when you're ready. The plaza isn't the same without you, and it's always nice to see familiar faces around. But this time, protect your peace too. Set boundaries with your feelings so that if things ever get difficult again, you'll be able to recover more easily.
And to my fellow Keepers, let's not be too quick to judge or criticize fans who were hurt or disappointed. I've been there. It's not easy mentally or emotionally. Encourage people to come back, but also encourage them to approach fandom in a healthier way. The community is always more enjoyable when more people feel welcome and safe.
The best part of this fandom has always been the positive energy. Let's try to avoid unnecessary fights and drama. If Ashtine ever saw us constantly arguing with each other, I don't think she'd be happy about it. More importantly, carrying that negativity isn't good for our hearts or our everyday lives. Conflict has a way of spilling into other areas of life.
It's okay to call out behavior that reflects poorly on the fandom, especially when it affects the image of the people we support. But if someone refuses to listen, sometimes it's better to block and move on rather than keep fighting.
As for bashers and tabloids—report, block, and don't engage. They thrive on attention.
I think Andres, and especially Ashtine, have already endured more than enough criticism and negativity. We don't need to add to it. From what we can see, they seem okay privately, and that's something I choose to believe.
At the end of the day, I just want peace—for them, for the fandom, and for all of us who genuinely care. Hindi lang kilig ha. :)

Exactly Ashtine. When your joy comes from God, it isn’t dependent on people’s opinions, circumstances, or what others have. It becomes a kind of peace that no one can take away.
