"First and for most, I would like to make an apology to my viewers due to not posting much on this blog and I'll try to make it up to you guys by posting at least once or twice a week."
Funny that I have entitled this as UNEXPECTED PLANS because this really was unexpected. This thing happened last November 29, 2012. The reason why this happened is because me and my fellow Mr. Pogi Fanatic admins(Me representing @weareBAMsters, Nics who represents @iamKELVINatics, and Aubrey who represents @mrpogifanatics) had a surprise for Kelvin Engles; it was a simple fan-made shirt that we've agreed to give to him that says "Keep Calm and Love Kelvin Engles". We also had a piece of the shirt for ourselves(Haha souvenir!). The initial plan was, we're supposed to go to Broadway Centrum last Nov. 30, 2012 to give the shirt but since Kelvin's unsure if he's going to be present that day on Eat Bulaga that's why we've decided to go to the event below.

The NEW GLORIETTA VIBEI've read about this event few days before(the admins of @iamKELVINatics told me about this event) and I couldn't get any happier because Kelvin Engles will be there(well, since he was a model before he joined Mr. Pogi). I was accompanied by of course my fellow admins Nics, Aubrey, and Jezlaine. It was really an exciting event for me and Aubrey because it was our first time to meet Kelvin in-person.
On that day, I couldn't get any more ecstatic to get out of the office. Nics and Aubrey had their schooling and Jez was at the province before they went to Glorietta. I was the one who arrived late because I went off the office around 5:30 and our calltime was 5pm(Haha late as usual).
During the event, there were a lot of models and big stars from the fashion and TV industry. The purpose of the event was to break the Guiness World record for the Most number of people modelling on the catwalk.

Maybe the funniest thing that we did that night was being paparazzi for Kelvin. That was the first time that we did such a thing. We were like following Kelvin all over Glorietta which feels kinda awkward at first but we got the hang of it especially when we captured those shots(see above photo), simply breath-taking.

#TeamGloriettaVibeMy fellow admins(above photo), #TeamGloriettaVibe is how we call ourselves. It's funny how Twitter or any other social networking sites connect people who have never even met in-person to be friends just because they share or like the same ideas/topics. Well, I have to say that our ideas and experiences about Mr. Pogi or even non-Mr. Pogi made us to even have a closer ties together. This was also very shocking to myself since I'm not usually an outgoing person and not to much open to new friendship circles but with Mr. Pogi, that habit has changed. Now I love mingling around on Twitter and even on Facebook and I've met lots of great and trusting people just like them.

Unexpected Mr. Pogi
Well, that night just got even more exciting with the arrival of these 2 Mr. Pogi; Bonz Militar and John Paul Duray. We saw them when we were waiting for Kelvin after his done modelling. We were definitely shock yet delighted when we saw them. It's like hitting 3 birds with one stone.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
I call this one a successful mission for we happened to gave Kelvin the shirt that we got for him(He's gonna have a photo wearing that shirt on Valentines Day). For the next statements I'm gonna write, let me express my thoughts in my own language: "Grabe, hindi ko kinaya nung nakita ko si Kelvin ng personal for the first time. Ang pogi pogi nya tas magalang pa haha. Actually nagpapanic ako nung nakita ko siya, ung emosyon ko nung nakita sila Bonz at JP ay mas lalong lumala nung nakita ko si Kelvs haha. Sabi ko pa nga ata kay Aubrey nun: Pwedeng pakisampal ako? Haha gravecious lang talaga. Kilig na kilig kami ni Aubrey kasi unang pagkakataon lang namin siya nakita kaya super saya namin. Syempre memorable ung gabing un as in. Diretcho kaya ako sa laptop nung paguwi ko para iupload ung pics haha. AKO NANG ADIK SA KANILA haha".
How I wish that the night would never end that day because of what happened to us. Probably one of the best memories that 2012 gave to us. I mean you can't see all your idols everywhere except when you watch TV you know. Well, it has been 2 months since I saw them and I've been wanting to go to Broadway Centrum. Maybe one of these days, I can go and meet them again, hopefully this summer of before those times. I really hope they still remember me. HAHA XD
