I have been trying to post this since Monday morning but there’s something wrong with my browser.
Well anyway, here it is.
This was the bouncer’s ID. He was right in front of us…I mean the bouncer. HAHA :P
I see Taylor Lautner up close ONLY in MY DREAMS and in MY
IMAGINATION. This fairy tale-moment came true because of a Bench event.
It was a meet and greet but we (Mia, Mona, Charlene) weren’t part of
that. I think the event was on a first-come, first-served basis and you
need to buy something from Bench. We arrived at 2-2:30pm and the event
was at 3pm so you know how we didn’t qualify to be part of that.
We were waiting! From left to right, Mia, Me, Mona, Charlene and a little photo bomber. heehee
It didn’t start on time but we patiently waited until Sam Oh came out,
said some things we didn’t understand, by the way, the audio was BLAH!
Talked, talked, and finally called Taylor out! We planned to be at the
back so that once he comes out, we’ll see him so close and THAT WAS A
SUCCESS!
He just got up the stage and Sam was talking to him. (Sam Oh has met a lot of international actors!)
He said some things but the only ones I understood were Mabuhay and
Mahal ko kayo, partly because the audio was BLAH! and partly because he
was so MESMERIZING. He started signing posters, hugging girls (damn
those girls! haha), and kissing some (again, DAMN!).
We decided to go somewhere far so that we could see the whole thing:
him, him signing the posters, hugging some girls, kissing some (!), just
everything that was happening. We went up the 2nd floor, to
get a better view. When the meet and greet was done, he went off the
stage and started signing autographs on random fans’ papers and things.
It was a unanimous decision to go down and go back to the place where we
were (we like to call it THE backstage; D). He went to every corner,
well not really, facing the audience, he started on the center, to the
left, and then finally to the right. It was magical. It was like a movie
in a slow motion—him slowly moving towards our direction. I was not
exaggerating when used the word magical. I can’t even explain. Every
word that I can think of is like an understatement. I mean it was TAYLOR
LAUTNER! COME ON!!!! And he finally got in front of us. He was just
right there! Sharkboy, Elliot, Jacob, Willy, Nathan, Andy, TAYLOR
LAUTNER! I stretched my hand and showed him my notebook for him to sign.
AND HE DID SIGN IT! Dang that was JHGHJTYJCRDRCJHD! It’s UNEXPLAINABLE.
HE WAS SIGNING MY NOTEBOOK!!!!
Mona did it too but she was holding her phone and he signed her phone case!
HE WAS SIGNING MONA’S PHONE!
Borbs (Charlene) tried to stretch her phone out too but it was almost a riot out there. I couldn’t see Mia
but I was sure she was enjoying and appreciating everything that was
happening too. After the signing and all, he took off through the stairs
that led to a basement or something.
See the video HERE!!!!
It was HEAVEN! We were on CLOUD 9! It was CRAZY!
UNEXPLAINABLE!!!!!
But we were sure IT. WAS. THE. BEST. FEELING!
It still feels so good.
It was a once in a life time moment that we will NEVER be ashamed of. NEVER!
Oh Taylor…we can’t top thinking about you, talking about you, just….
It was the HAPPIEST MOMENT.
And hey! We had dinner at Shakey’s and wrote goals. HAHA
What can you say about my friends?
This is the summary of our WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL day!
Cookie Butter from Mia (THANKS!), my notebook and Mona’s phone signed by Taylor, the earrings I bought for TFs, and the time capsule.
Thanks, Mia, Mona, and Borbs for that experience. It wouldn’t be the same without you. :D CHEESY. :D
