That Feeling

by Paula Jae Bacolod


Everyone all over the world has different opinions. We all have our likes and dislikes, however, I believe that everyone likes music. It is like nature already for everyone... There are different kinds of genre in music and of course, we all have different taste as well all over the world. When there is music, there is an artist, when there's an artist, there are fans.

The world can be fans of anything, a fan of food, a fan of books, a fan of an artist and a fan of music. A group or community of fans can be defined as a fandom. The most popular usage of fandom is when using it as a fandom of a band. When there are bands, boy bands, and other groups, there are fangirls and fanboys.

In the Philippines, there is a term where no one can describe in English. My mom had said that there are no words that can be translated to that feeling.

"KILIG" is the word I am talking about.

It is the feeling of having butterflies in your tummy and excitement built up inside you. When you can't control yourself and just want to shout because your crush just said hi or when you met someone new. It's the feeling like it is Christmas morning.

I know that most of us have experienced this, and for the fandoms all around, they have called this "fangirling".
