I Met Bethany Mota, Niomi Smart, Remi Cruz, Abby Asistio, Donnalyn Bartolome and Kiana Valenciano11/20/2017 I went to It’s A Girl Thing in Manila last November 18. This was my Meet and Greet experience. My whole IAGT experience is on another blog post: whoapotato.weebly.com/home/its-a-girl-thing-manila-2017
When we reached the M&G tent, I was surprised to see the lines were already long. Remi and Niomi’s schedule were at the same time. We went to Niomi’s first. She looked so simple yet classy with her dress. She was like a living doll tbh. I was not prepared on what to tell her so I just hugged her when it was my turn. We took a quick photo and I requested her if we could do the Titanic pose. She said “Oh the Titanic pose? Sure.” I love her accent so much. She happily did the pose right away and it was so funny how she had unintentionally completely blocked me out. She was taller than me and I was behind her. It was an epic fail but Niomi still looked adorable. To the kuya who took our photo, you could’ve done better. Smh. We ran to the other side of the tent to line up for Remi. She asked for my name which I think was so sweet of her. She actually tried to talk to everyone. She saw my hoodie and told me that she loves Troye. I, an awkward bean, didn’t know what to respond so I told her “We love Troye”. Well, don’t we sisters? Lol. Kuya who was taking our photo was becoming impatient but I requested Remi if we could do the gun-pointing-at-the-camera pose. She didn’t understand at first so I showed her and Remi looked so cute on the photo. I didn’t, as usual. Note to self: gurl don’t raise your chin too high on photos. While waiting for our next M&G, we saw Anne Clutz walking with Jeya, her daughter, to the venue. We asked for a photo and she recorded us. OMG are we in Mommy Anne’s vlog?! Yay fun! Our next meetup is with Abby Asistio. She also seemed sweet and we did this pose where each one of our arms and feet was raised. It’s not that complicated, I’m just bad at describing things. She asked me if that pose has any meaning and I told her that it just means that we’re happy. Lol idk my cousin just started that. Before leaving, I told her that she’s so tall and she said it was because of her shoes then she showed me. Next up was Bethany Mota. Everyone lost it when she came out of the tent. I think her line was the longest. Someone from IAGT was also giving out free M&G passes which was kind of unfair for those who joined the giveaways tbh. Anyways, the line was moving fast and I was not prepared. When it was my turn, I just told her about her last M&G here where she would meet the first 500 people in line. I told her that I was number 501 and she felt sad but then I said she was so nice because I still met her that time and she was okay with it. Then we took a quick photo. As usual, I asked for another weird pose. I requested her if we could do an awkward pose. She was so game for it and she told me she’s never done that pose before. Wow I feel honoured. I told her that I got it from Connor Franta but in the back of my head, I knew I got it from Shawn Mendes. I don’t know why I said Connor. These meet ups are making me forget how to think and talk properly. After that photo, I asked Beth if I could touch her dimples. I could feel the bouncers being impatient already but I didn’t care I wanted to do everything while she’s still here bish. Fite me. I bet Bethers gets this request all the time so she’s just used to it. I told her before leaving that touching her dimples is actually one of my dreams and she laughed. I met Donnalyn after that. She was so petite and I couldn’t help but tell her that she’s such a smol bean when I hugged her. She told me that I was a smol bean too. Wow I finally met someone who’s not taller than me lol. Then there goes Kiana. Contrary to Donnalyn, she was super tall. Well, she’s wearing high heeled shoes but still. Her hair was up in a bun and she looks so simple yet classy. I was awkward I didn’t know what to tell her so I just hugged her and said “It’s nice to meet you”. But I wished I told her that I met her brother last year and my goal is to meet the entire Valenciano family. So there we go, that’s how my M&G sessions went. I realized that I was just so calm all throughout the experience. I think I’m getting used to these meetups since I’ve met lots of YouTubers already. I no longer freakout like I used to. I never take this for granted, though. I still feel grateful to have been able to meet these amazing people. Also, kudos to the team. It really feels like a Meet and Greet since we get to have an actual conversation with them and not just “take a pic and leave”. Well here’s to more stories I’ll be sharing and Youtubers we’ll be meeting in the future. Cheers, G.
