Despite being shy and uncomfortable meeting new people, I met my first fandom group, Via Astris (Star Trek Philippines). That was back in 2005. I even volunteered as an โAssistant Librarianโ to get comfortable dealing with people.

From there, my circles expanded, I met new people, and eventually, them becoming close friends.
@fredc@mastodon.online Via Astris, too! ^_^Last ko was sa Makati pa, I think it was the ENT days. Si Mark C. nagdala sa akin dun, VOY days when I joined.Most recent activity ko was sa Megamall ata ‘yun, during the premier of Abram’s Star Trek.
