My personal encounter with the stars
I am sure a lot of us have many memorable moments in our life. It maybe bad, good, scary and so on. For today let me share you one of my most memorable story while working at a service crew way back in 2003.
In 2003, I was hired as a service crew in Auntie Anne's Pretzels. They are known for the best pretzels in town and freshly squeezed lemonade. Most of their shop are located in malls and I was assigned in Greenhills Theatre Mall. Usually Auntie Anne's store is not your typical fastfood chain because it only sells pretzels and drinks but mind you it is the bestest pretzels.
The location of the store where I was assigned was inside a theatre mall in Greenhills. This mall is a little famous because a lot of celebrity are going in and out this area. Most celebrities are watching movies in this place too because it isn't crowded area. When I was still starting as a new crew, my crewmate would always tell a story that they encountered a celebrity as a customer and most of the time they passed by at the front store. The exact location of the store is actually in front of the cinema so you could always see the people going in and out of the cinema.
As days goes by, I also encountered seeing celebrity passing by the store. There's a school near Greenhills where a lot of celebrity went by. The name of the school is OB Montesorri. I would always see Chynna Ortaleza wearing her school's uniform and her ex boyfriend roaming around the area. She really looked like a barbie with her bare face. I also saw Aga Muchlach love child with Janice de Belen wearing his school uniform laughing with his classmates.

There's a lot more local artists that I have seen in my whole duration of working there. It was nice to see them without being chased by fans or being photograph by a paparazzi. They lived like a normal people and well as for me I can't stopped being star struck at their beautiful and handsome faces. One of my most memorable encountered would probably the one with Kristine Hermosa. She dropped by at the store to buy pretzels. At that time she was with Luis Manzano and her sister Kathleen. She was really a goddess in real life. I was the one on the counter that time and she ordered some pretzels. She then changed her order to a new flavor, the problem was that I had already punched her order so I had to refund it. There was a policy in the store that the refunded receipts should be signed by the customer. At first I was so shy to let her signed at the receipt but I had no choice or else it will be charged on me. I told her about it and she willingly signed the receipt with her name with a heart. She is such a sweetheart.

After her I still encountered few local artists in our country dropping by at the store. It was such a nice experience specially for a fangirl like me. And working in a place where seeing these stars roaming around like an ordinary people is such an honor too. But of all these encounters with the stars there was still one thing that I cannot forget. While my co worker and I was going home after our duty we saw Patrick Garcia in flesh. He was my ultimate crush back in AngTv days. The feeling was surreal after seeing him that I guess I dreamt of him that night. 😂
