Benjamin Alves Birthday Celebration

     Last March 18, 2016 Benjamin Alves celebrated his birthday at Asia Pacific College with the students from the courses of Engineering, Multimedia, and Business. Most of us knew him from the movie "Sana Dati" which I also did a blog/film review. Check it out here: Sana Dati: Film Review. I'm really happy because this is actually the first time I ever saw a celebrity in person and I'm kinda overwhelmed. The GMA news crew were also there filming and taking photos on his visit.

     Benjamin Alves didn't just celebrated his birthday he also performed and read a poem he wrote a long time ago. Along with the other contestants chosen from different courses, they had poetry reading. It was interesting because each group has its own theme and own way of delivering their poems.

     Some students were lucky because they were able to ask questions about him. He answered every questions as honestly and as humble as he can. He also get to talk about his experience about the movie "Sana Dati" and how lucky he was for being part of that movie. He was so thankful for us watching the movie and hopes that we keep supporting for him for his upcoming projects.

     But let us not forget her, she was the host for the event and she really did a great job on that. She was very funny and did a great job on keeping the momentum going while we waited for Benjamin Alves to arrive. It just shows how professional she is on handling different kinds of people and different kinds of places. Some students also gets to play "Pinoy Henyo" the famous game from "Eat Bulaga" where you need to guess the word by asking questions and answering back with only yes or no. Though, they were unable to get the answers right it was still fun.

     We're really thankful for taking time to celebrate your birthday with us even though it's just for a short while. Thank you for inspiring us and enlightened us on how writing poetry and stories can really help broaden our mind.
