August 15, 2008
It was as if all the stars in the sky aligned to make this day one of the happiest days of my life.
I met, up close and personal, my super crush Jon Avila! (yeah.. he's worth blogging about. haha. ;p)
I attended my review the morning, and was texting Sandy, excited on her arrival from Manila for a weekend visit. Her first reply was that she was on the same waiting area as Jon on the airport which made me so envious. And so, after the 3rd or 4th exchange of text messages, she wasn't able to response anymore, which I'm guessing, meant she was already on board the plane. An hour later, she texted me again and exclaimed that she and Jon have boarded the same flight except that they were on different rows, but even though, it made me even more jealous. But on the other hand, it only meant one thing, Jon was in Cebu!
Lunchtime! The thought of Jon in Cebu got me so excited prompting me to text my co-diva Lionel on the sitch, just to let him know our uber crush was on the same island. Haha. What came through my mind that time, was that maybe Jon has a gig the day after at some mall like Ayala or SM. So we have to make sure that by the end of the afternoon, we know where he's going to be.
After having my usual lunch of 'chili con carne' at one of the few decent dining spots in colon, our usual lunchplace Greenwich, Janson and I decided to get our NBI Clearances which we filed days ago. And as soon as the jeepney we rode passed by the Robinson's, my heart was just flipping out like crazy! There it was, on that simple yet adorable tarpaulin, March 15, 2008 | 2:30pm | Meet and Greet Jon Avila" My hand was then moving like crazy, grabbing both my fones and texting, calling frends about it. It was like information dissemination frenzy! Haha!
When we arrived at NBI 1:30pm, I was able to convince Janson to go with me to the event, as well as Sweet who worked on a building beside the mall, and Armand, sad to say Lionel had prior commitments and was not able to make it. By 2:30 Janson and I arrived at the event, held in the supermarket! Which was a huge plus for us, because the place wasn't crowded at all. We were a tad late though, but we didn't worry much because we were still only a few steps away from my one and only love! Haha!
He was sitting near the first counter with a small desk (for autograph signing) and a bottle of mineral water. The catch was that, the fans had to purchase grocery items like tide, downy, pringles, and etc. And while i was tugging
Janson, making kulit on buying pringles (alangan naman kung tide..), all of a sudden, a super kind lady heard me and offered her receipt! We kinda talked awhile, gave her my super thank yous and immediately proceeded to the information counter to have it exchanged for a numbered card which served as our ticket to meet and greet my love. Haha! And then came Armand with his never failing Nikon Camera and we snapped our way back to the booth.
And so, what else happened but our lovely time with him. It was less than 5 minutes and we had our pictures taken with him and as we moved on to give other fans their moments, he said in his accented voice "thank you guys!" Wahaha! I felt like fainting! haha! And so while I was blissfully watching him on the sides, time to time, taking his gorgeous pics, recording a short video of him singing 'Ngiti', I came to the realization that my afternoon was fulfilled. Hahaha!
After he left, we proceeded on helping Janson get his LCR at the City Health and afterwards chilled at Ayala Center and met up with Lionel. The End. Next stop, Enchong Dee!
I'm such a FANATIC! haha.. ;]
Wall-E hearts Eva!
