it didnt really sink in yesterday. i mean there was a snowball's chance in hell that i would be totally unaffected by Gayle's shock elimination. last night at caldecott, i was saddened and felt that it was a real pity that such a promising contestant got the boot. today however, it was a totally different scenario. it slowly began to sink in. i've nth to look forward to on wednesdays, thursdays and saturdays. there's a huge void suddenly. thanks for allowing me to accompany you on every step of this fantastic journey, i wouldnt have done otherwise. just to see your face light up at each roadshow and at yesterday's event was more than i could ask for. so now dear gayle, the next step may be a fresh journey, but your final destination at stardom shall never waver.
put up the Gayle #1 placard and the I <3 Gayle placard in my office cubicle today. it's my little tribute to a girlish girl who believed in her dreams and never once forgot her fans who undertook this wild ride with her. may her infectious smile be a permanent fixture on that delightful face.
