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.

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.

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. 😂

Meeting a star celebrity is fun,but mostly on here they are been crowded by their fans who would want to see him,I've never encountered any experience with a star but hopefully very soon I would.
When I was living in the province it was hard seeing them because most of them are in the city. I only got the chance to see them most when I move here in the city:) Hope you would see them too.
Ang dami mo na nakita na mga artist sis. Grabe. Si Kristine Hermosa grabe ang ganda talaga kahit sa tv mo tingnan sobrang ganda niya talaga until now. Di nagbabago kaya hanga ako sa beauty niya.🥰 Nakita ko lang si Maja Salvador sis, Lovi Poe, Sam Milby, Joross Gamboa, Miguel Tanfelix, James Reid at si Bianca Umali.
Oo sis super ganda nya talaga, iba talaga kasi yung makita sa personal kesa sa tv tapos nasa tapat ko pa sya sis, bait bait pa.
Grabe matulala ka siguro sa ganda niya sis.
Sinabi mo pa sis, akala nya nga siguro eh nagpapa autograph ako dahil sa pinapirma ko sya sa resibo
Hehe. 😁 Ang ganda niya din naman sis. Sana all sis dami ng mga artista nakita. 🥰
Dito kasi sa Manila sis normal na makita sila unlike pag sa province na napupunta lang sila kapag may mga fiesta
maybe you've been obsessed with being an artist and famous after meeting them, I once felt the same way when I saw my friend become an artist and being famous often made me passionate to pursue the same thing, but I realized that my path was not like her. It's also great to see when you meet them and maybe receive some inspiration from friends.
Oh I don't think I wan t to be an artist, I just really admire most of them. I am glad you have a friend that is famous, I am sure you are proud of her.
yes indeed I am proud of him but must also think that everything is the same as we are in this world because everything is temporary, maybe only as a person's view they are in a position like the level above but for me we are all the same. want to be an artist or not it's the same my friend.
I used to attend the same church with Piolo, Sam, Yeng and other celebrities, I live near BGC kasi and the victory church there ang puntahan ng mga celebrities as well. There were some sunday services when I met Julia Barretto and her other siblings, it was Kids Church back then, I was 12. May times din na naencounter ko sila Angel Locsin sa isang family gathering kasi our 2nd cousin's a director na kaclose ni Angel. I agree, Auntie Anne's pretzels are the best!!!
Grabe noh sis, with all honesty nakaka starstruck talaga mga mukha nila, maybe because with all the enhancement and all. You're so lucky kasi you see them every now and then. And gwapo kaya ni papa P.🥰
True sis. Ka gaganda at gwapo talaga. Ang tatangkad pa.
I remember about Billy Crawford, Zeus at petite, they went to our hometown because it was a fiesta. They were performing so good at ang ganda ng kamay ni billy hahaha
Ang kikinis nila sis, kelangan kasi sa work kamusta naman kaya yung kulay natin compare sa kanila.hahaha!
Ae ang layo sis haha
My unforgettable celebrity encounter was meeting Draco Malfoy aka Tom Felton, if you're familiar or a fan of Harry Potter movies, you know who I am talking about. Hehehe. I met him in Tokyo, Japan. I have encounters with Pinoy celebrities naman.
Yep I know him sis, kaya lang super hate ko sya harry potter. Hahaha! If given a chance na makameet ako ng hollywood star gusto ko si Doctor Strange hehehe!
I have seen a lot of celebrities din in Trinoma when I worked there and in Mercato :)
Dun kasi ang usually mga puntahan nila sis no, yung mga sosyal na mall lalo cguro sa rockwell
Yes sis..Maganda Rockwell kasi ")
I never get a chance to see Filipino celebrities in person.
Soon sis makakita ka rin, pag dito kasi sa Manila parang normal lang sila, minsan nga nakasabay namin si Valerie Concepcion sa simbahan ayun nakatayo din sa labas kasi puno na sa loob.😁
I already made an article about my idols. I got to meet Patrick Garcia in Glorietta mall when they have shows for Ang TV too. And Rico Yan, Marvin Agustin, Dominic Ochoa and Claudine Baretto at Greenhills too. I am looking for the pictures and will make an article soon.
Wapo wapo ni Patrick no? Makalaglag panty talaga sya hahaha!
I always see a celebrity in malls but I am not really a fan of celebrities hehe.Maybe we grew up in a household that do not watch teleseryes often. I am more on Youtube videos rather than television.
Mas may mystery kasi ang mga artists noon dahil wala pang social medias, curious mga tao sa artista pero ngayon parang wala na kasi open na sila sa buhay nila through instagram kaya nawalan na din ng gana mga tao.
Ay sana lahat nalang ako, if sa malapitan na nakadaop palad or even nakita lang never pa ako naka encounter. Pag fiesta may banda at artista na napunta sa bayan namin pero sa malayuan ko lang sila nakikita. Ewan ko ba boring akong kasama at kahit may artista sa malapit diko rin lalapitan. Mejo di ako fan ng artista ee hahahaga
Hahaha! Mga oppa lang ba sis ang trip mo? Pag dito kasi sa city parang normal lang na mkikita mo sila pero nung nasa probinsya pa ako grabe dinudumog talaga sila ng tao. Kaya noong bagong salta ako dito tuwang tuwa din ako hahaha! Fangirl lang pero nung tumagal wala ng effect😁
They say Kristine Hermosa had the most beautiful face in showbiz. I had seen a lot of celebrities' too when Mateo G launch his Mateo X Avel ( it's pants). A lot of celebrities attended like, Sarah G, Aldean, Belo and hayden. Mostly artist from ABS CBN. Iyong katabi ko lng sila sis, hehehe I was one of the crew.
Sarap ng feeling nun sis parang you are one of them. Hahaha! Oo super pretty si Kristine up until now di nagbago mukha nya:)
Kaya nga, ganda pa din! Haha si Hayden ang gwapo personal sis.
Syempre sis jowa nya si vicki belo😁
I think most of the people there were not surprise when they see in personal those famous celebrities. One thing that never been seen before seeing those in personal a celebrity.
Omg patrick garcia crushshiee ko yarn tapos ate gandang ganda din ako kay kristine hermosa. Kahit kamukha ni jinkee pero parehong gandesa eh. Ako naman may iilan na din ako nakita. Luis manzano, iya villana, liza soberano, si hipon girl, kiray celis taga dito lang samin dati.
I beg to disagree hehehe! retokada naman si jinkee while kristine super ganda up until now. Wapo wapo ni Patrick no.
Ayyy uu nga pala ate naalala ko retokada nga jinkee.. what if ung mukha talaga ni kristine ang bet nya no??
Swerte mo naman sis nakita mo sila in person.. Ako konti lang yata nakita kong artista, yung Kathniel, si Robin Padilla, di ko na maalala ang iba pero konti lang talaga.. Buti ka pa nakita mo si Kristine, sobrang fan niya ako, ang ganda niyaaa
