I can’t understand why these are happening. I actually lost track of them in 2009-2010 :(. It started with an old school video MMMBOP. I was actually checking videos in the 90s then I came across with Hanson’s most popular song. Little by little, I realized that I was re-visiting my old self. In December of 2011, I started being active in social sites that were related to Hanson. Then it became a habit. I signed up to TWITTER, YOUTUBE, hanson.net, myspace and other social sites just to get updated of what’s happening to these brothers.

Let’s travel back in time:). Year 1997, I was in my room, doing something at night. It was May. My radio was on and I heard a song: mmmbop badu badup badoo bap doo ba dap…From that day on, I told myself I wanted to see them. Then I saw MTV TRL, who else could ever forget this. Seeing the video of Hanson for the first time was really an amazing feeling. I had a huge crush right away on the piano guy. His smile could take my breath away. I was only 12 that time. All I knew was Taylor Hanson. My bedroom wall looked like a collage of his face. I loved him more than Zac and Isaac. I would even fight about him when boys would tell that he was gay. Then there came The Moffats whom I hated. Of course! If you’re a Hanson fan you’d understand me.

During my high school years my life revolved in Hanson and other singers like Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. I would listen to other singers and group as well but NO ONE could ever compare my addiction to these people. My high school friends could testify how my life was affected by Hanson, Xtina and MC while I was growing up.

But of course when you reach college life, your priorities change. In 2003-2007, I realized that I had to focus on my studies. I was really pressured in school. I didn’t think of anything aside from school. I still got time to be updated on them but not as what I used to be. Another reason I didn’t want to hear any news from Hanson was when Taylor got married. I hated him a lot to the point that every time I would see his face I cried. But I came to realize that I had to move on so I didn’t follow them that much.

In 2011,I saw the video GO where Zac’s the lead vocal. This was the start of my Zac addiction.

Fast forward, in January of this year, I found out about Shout It Out Tour. I was really excited when Philippines was part of it. I didn’t miss the chance to see them LIVE. I told myself that I had to do everything and made up for the years I wasted, especially when I missed the 2004 ALIW theatre concert. So there, I bought 2 tickets. One for me and my sister. I followed them wherever they were in Manila except in their press conference because I was in North EDSA that time waiting for their CD signing where I got to hug Zac. I went to the airport for their arrival and in Shangrila Hotel where they stayed at. I thought that hugging Zac would be the best day of my life. BUT, there was one thing that made their tour here SPECIAL. I am a member of hanson.net Fans club. Each member got the chance to have a moment with the band called MOE Members Only Event. I even got a picture with them.

Now that Hanson is not here in the Philippines anymore, I am having a hard time moving on. This Hanson hangover is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!:P I just don’t know how long it will last. FOREVER???
