How did I get so lucky to have met these amazing and wonderful YouTubers? Well, the secret is persistence. I tried joining every giveaway there was and fortunately, I have won some. Basically this was not just pure luck so if you really want to meet your fave, you really have to do everything it takes and be as creative as you can. Some giveaways would ask you to post a picture, others require you to upload a video. It takes a lot of guts to join but it definitely will be worth it at the end so take a shot, sweaty.
So here it goes, the fruit of my labor lol. The highlight of my YTFF experience, my meet and greet with my loves. The first youtuber that I met was Janina Vela. I have seen her already from the last fanfest and we had a picture together then. But the picture was an epic fail. It was shot with a potato and we are so close up you can see my large pores. So this time I wanted our photo to be perfect. I was already planning for a pose while we were still in line. Oh btw did I tell you that while we were in line we saw Bailey May sitting right across from us? Lol he was just sitting there and we haven't even noticed. When we did, he had to leave already so that was kind of a bummer. Her loveteam Ylona also walked past us. I believe they were there because they are endorsers of Jollibee which is one of the sponsors of the event. ALSO ALEX, KYLE, AND AARON WALKED PAST US LIKE BRUH THEY WERE SO NEAR YET SO FAR. This just proves that a lot of things can happen while you are in line. I even met Janina's mom and she was holding a camera I guess she was vlogging. She was so cute and nice. I also saw her younger brother and father like wow Janina's family is so supportive they are goals. It did not take much time before I met Janina herself. The staff there, though, was like "we need to hurry up. there are lots of people still in line", and I totally get him so I just told him that I'd be quick. When it was my turn, I approached Janina with a hug and she told me that she liked my denim jacket. I saw that she was wearing one as well and I said "TWINNING!" and I felt so basic saying that but we were literally twinning I can't help it. After that, we quickly proceeded to take a photo. I was shaking though and I had no idea why. LOL. Like I know meeting Janina does not make me feel nervous so I guess I was shaking because it has finally sunk in on me that everything was happening, that I was there and I was meeting all these youtubers. It was crazy and Janina noticed that she even exclaimed "YOU'RE SHAKING" which made her hug me tighter and that was really nice of her. With that very tight hug she gave me, I think I recovered so I could finally talk. I asked her if we could take another photo with our hands together like a gun and pointing at the camera. When I told her this, she was hesitant at first and told me "but i don't support murder". I laughed but we still did the pose anyway. It turned out cute and I wish I could post it but hey, I am branding myself as anonymous. Huehue. Before we parted ways, I apologized to her for shaking. Janina is a very nice and humble person she deserves everything that is happening to her and I admire her so much. The next person that I met was Lauren. I was kind of panicky because Lauren, Megan, Matt and Jayden were doing their Meet and Greets at the same time, meaning I had to hurry up to catch up on each one of them or I won't be able to meet them. I chose Lauren first because I had this gift for her on a paper bag that I was holding and I would like to give it to her first before meeting the rest. While we were still in line, I could not help but stare at her. I was questioning whether she was real. She does not look real. Lauren is a goddess especially with her cute outfit on. I also prepared some gimmicks because I wanted my meet and greet to be something that is not common. When it was my turn, surprisingly, I hugged her. There was a staff talking to her so our hugging moment lasted longer than usual. It was not awkward although I felt like a monkey hanging onto her mother because Lauren was waaayyy taller than me. When they were done talking and her attention was on me, I immediately asked her if I could touch her dimples. I got the idea from a previous M&G that I attended where this one person asked if she could touch Bethany Mota's dimples. And I was like yaaasss gurl I am so going to do that with Lauren. Lauren had no problem with that she even bent her knees so I could reach her. She said "okay are you ready?" and I have everything on film and I watch it every single night because Lauren was ssosoooososo kyooot. If you're wondering, yes, her dimples are real and they are deep af. I feel healed just by touching them. For our photo together, I had another request where I asked her if we could do a pinky promise and she agreed. She even had her tongue sticking out and I really looked like a midget beside her. Now it did not end there. I gave her my gift and she instantly saw the duck whistle and said "OH ALEX IS GOING TO FREAK OUT", which is the reason why I was giving it to them. Now for my last request, I got this one paper out and I told her "alex adopted me last year so i was wondering if you could---" and there, Lauren saw the adoption paper and read it. She said it was funny and that was the first adoption paper she signed and I feel so #blessed to be the first official Laurex child. LOL. My parents are the best and I said "thanks mom" then hugged her again before going. The bouncer was already mad I probably took the longest time but I couldn't care less because I wanted to do so much with so little time. I gotta say that was my most favorite M&G ever. It used to be the one with Alex but I think Lauren has got the spot now. Sorry dad. My next M&G was with Megan Nicole. It was a really fast one the bouncer was already rushing us since we were the last ones in the line. I just hugged her and we took a photo. Megan looked so dainty with her little dress. I really admired how she chose to be comfortable with her flat shoes on. She looked so smol and innocent and all so cuddly. I wished I had more time to interact with her. She was also with this guy, I am not sure if that was her boyfriend but gurrrlll that guy was so hot, he and Megan looked so good together. We also made it to Matt's M&G which is also a fast one. I hugged him and Oh My Lord I could feel his abs. He asked how I was while he was still hugging me and I said "i'm good. how about you?" but I did not hear his answer because I was too preoccupied with his abs. LOL. I don't know but Matt looked tired maybe because he had met so many people already so I wanted our part to be kind of interesting so he could be awake. Since I noticed that he was inches taller than me, I asked if he could put his head on top of mine and do the kawaii pose with his hands on his chin. Ya get what I'm sayin? Yeah, that. People around us were like "aww so cute" and I thought my mission to keep him awake was a success. Before I left, I hugged him one last time to take advantage of his abs, again and he said "nice meeting you" but in my head I was like "oh it was my pleasure". Last but definitely not the least was Jayden Rodrigues. Of course, there was a rush again so this time one of the staff asked if we could take a photo as a group. I was with my cousin and his one friend. I came up with this pose where everybody could get involved. We hugged Jayden right away and he noticed my cousin's shirt and said "oh lloyd cadena" I was kind of shocked that he recognized the shirt. LOL. I asked Jayden if we could like fight over him for the photo and he was so game for it. I was pulling one of his arms. My cousin was hugging him from the back and his friend was pulling the other arm. It turned out reaaaallllyyyy cute because Jayden was also acting for it. I laughed when I saw the photo. I realized that it is a good thing that we took a group photo because if it was individual, I would've asked him to dab with me and that would be where I lose all of the 3 friends I have so I am glad the dabbing did not happen. Jayden was really nice and the guy is a hugger. He gives tight hugs and Oh My Lord I will never forget his and Matt's hugs LOL JK. I told him "it was so nice meeting you" before we left and he replied with "pleasure meeting you" and God I forgot how beautiful his accent is. Well these are just some of my meet and greet experience and I feel happy looking back that I did those crazy things. They may be embarrassing but those things I did make the moments even more memorable and interesting. I am surely going to do more crazy stuff in the future, and hopefully I get to document them again. I feel so blessed to have been able to meet these great people and shared some memories with them that I will treasure forever. I am never taking this for granted and I hope they continue to inspire more people like me. I LOVE MY LIFE AS OF THE MOMENT I HOPE THIS FEELING LASTS AND LOOK AT MY MOTIVATION TWO CONSECUTIVE BLOG ENTRIES I CANNOT BELIEVE MYSELF THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LOSE INTERNET CONNECTION AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO WOW PATS MYSELF ON THE BACK
