March 18,
2016. It was just normal day for us. Attending classes, having lunch, doing our
float, and chatting with friends. Everything was so ordinary until we attended
an event wherein we celebrate a birthday of a celebrity. What’s great about it?
Benjamin himself, the celebrity from the movie “Sana Dati” went to our school
and celebrate his birthday with us. Now our day became so extra ordinary.

As we
enter the venue, there’s so much cakes that’s been displayed. But we are not
excited about those cakes, we are excited about seeing Benjamin Alves in
person.
The event
started with a short game called “Pinoy Henyo”. The two players came from different
school. One from SoMA and the other one from SOE. Everyone are cheering for
them. Thou they didn’t won, both of them received a pepero as a reward for
participating.
Everyone
gone wild the moment he entered the venue. All of us are so star struck by him.
We didn’t expected that he would actually came. We welcomed him with a warm
smile and an energetic birthday song.
As he was
taking in front, all of the audience are focused to him. Not a single person
lost its attention. Maybe it’s because he is very inspirational to watch.
The main
purpose of this event is for Benjamin to judge the top three of the Slam Poetry
Contest. In the end, he appreciated each and every group’s performance. To be
fair, as a writer himself, he recited his very own poem composition. As he
recite his poem, everyone was touched by him. He was able to express the
feeling he want his audience feel. It symbolizes that he’s a very good writer.
After he
recited his poem, some students are given a chance to ask him a question. While
there’s a Question and Answer Portion happening, there are staffs that are
distributing foods to the audiences. After that, Benjamin distributed some
humble gifts to each and every one of us. Everyone formed a line for a chance
to receive the gift and hold his hand.
After all
of those happening, in the end of the event, I was able to take selfie with
him.
He is such
a very nice humble guy. You won’t determine that he’s a celebrity because if
his humbleness.
