Heart to Heart: ALL AT ONCE

Holy Amazingness! It all started with a small group of lovely ladies wanting to meet one famous star, the one and the only Ms. Sandy Andolong. Our dream came true when she said "YES, SURE!" to our invitation. We were mesmerized by her beauty from the first time we saw her. Neither of us can utter a word but a "SHRIEK!". To cut the story short, photos of the date were uploaded on Facebook and Twitter and lots of people started befriending us - they were sick with jealousy and happy for us at the same time. 

JALEKAMINICA: DATE WITH NANAY SANDY

We've received plenty of comments/tweets from people we know as well as people we don't know - asking if there's a chance that they could also meet her. We wanted to share the happiness we've experienced so we thought of making them feel "HIGH" by finding a way to make their dreams come true.
One that they will never ever forget.
At first, we decided to name a group (only for M&G's sake!) - ended up with FREELANCE PRODUCTIONS (FLP), may dating hindi ba?!  

We're all reluctant but concluded with a Meet and Greet . But how is that possible? We were all hesitant-shy-scared to talk to  Ms. Sandy about the plan. Since I was the oldest and the most unreserved, I sent her an sms asking if it's ok to call her, Blah! Blah! Of course she's agreed, I phoned Mirah if we could do a conference call with Ms. Sandy. And so we called her... 

This is the beginning...

WHAT: Heart to Heart Date with Ms. Sandy Andolong de Leon

with special Guest, Mr. Christopher de Leon
When: June 3, 2012

Where: Congo Grille, Tomas Morato

Time: 3-6 PM

3rd of June, 2012, the first-ever Meet and Greet I have attended that we have organized. Meet and Greet will be a opportunity for all to come out and meet people I had only known through my computer screen.  I was nervous and a little exasperated for I have to travel from my dear province to Manila. Good thing I was able to persuade my husband to come with me. 

HEART TO HEART: THE PREPARATION

The Organizers cut a deal to be at the venue at 1PM (sharp daw?). Nica was the first to arrived, followed by Yours Truly. We still have two hours left before the event and the function room was still being used. Nica decided to make some finishing touches on her assigned task in time (bravo!) and I was calling the rest on their whereabouts. 

Mirah showed up carrying 3/4s of her house stuff. She's really a sagip-buhay. She brought 1 big speaker, 2 laptop speakers, microphone and one JURASSIC LAPTOP!

Soon after that, Leyselle and Carmina popped in with their allocated assignments. Leyselle brought the stick-on name tags. Carmina, on the other hand, shouldered 2 beautiful tarps, FLP pins, and collaged photo of Ms. Sandy Andolong as a souvenir. (Well done gurlz!)

Kate made it before the program started. She brought a camera with her for some clicks!

Heart to Heart: THE GUESTS ARRIVAL

"2 minutes, nandyan na kami...", said Ms. Sandy on the phone. We gathered in front of Congo Grille to welcome our dear guests. A black Ford Everest just pulled over - then and there, a very Macho-Gwapito (which made our eyes twinkled in admiration) in an all-black attire, got off the car. You're right! We shrieked! (can't be arsed!)Yes, it's the loving husband of Ms. Sandy Andolong, none other than the "DRAMA KING" himself, Mr. Christopher "Boyet" de Leon.

Everyone was highly excited inside the function room, which made us feel more acutely uneasy. 

As they came in, everyone's gone mad. Flashes of camera were unstoppable. I can't even start the program because I just want to stare at them. 

Heart to Heart: THE PRAYER

The program was started with a prayer, led by Leyselle. 

Then Mirah welcomed everybody with her opening remarks.

Heart to Heart: THE INTRODUCTION OF MS. SANDY ANDOLONG

You’ll have moments in life with extraordinary people that are so intense, it’ll feel like you’ve been electrocuted. This has happened to me. Here I was humbled to introduce the one and the only, Ms. Sandy Andolong de Leon.

And it goes...

“Ang dami-daming artista pero wala namang mga artista.”

There are too many claiming to be actors and actresses, but there are only very very few ARTISTA left with star quality.

If you have not heard the name "SANDY ANDOLONG", then you must not be from the earth.

She is famous for her acting career. She was armed with a degree in acting when she joined showbiz. She actually finished an acting course in a university in New York.

For a while she concentrated on being a wife to actor Christopher de Leon

and a mother to their five lovely children.She would choose her family first before a any lucrative offer.

Sandy Andolong is a thoughtful friend and a forever grateful child of God. She is a brilliant actress who

does the real drama. She is the type of performer who delivers, so

to speak.

She is an epitome of simplicity and humility with a kind heart full of

great love. Alexandra Andolong de Leon is a well composed and admirable being, from her lovely face (lots of people described her beauty as "tamang tama lang.")- the type that grows on you down to her amusing personality.

She inspires a lot of people with her kindness and humility and she always put a colossal burst of sunshine into

everyone's life. She also is a pious person that begets everyone to get closer to God, indeed she is one of God's 

manifestation of how amazing every individual really is. She is a woman in control and a very sincere type of person, hence making other people happy gives her more reason to live. With utmost sincerity, 

Sandy is truly a

woman with pure heart and a very dedicated personality. Because despite of her being flamboyant she remains humble

and simple -- that makes her a peerless jewel..

We are really blessed that Behind the scene (FACEBOOK/TWITTER), we have formed a

closely-knit "family" of our own.

SANDY IS GENUINELY, MESMERIZING!

 (April and Janice - Thanks for sharing bits with me Pangga!)

Heart to Heart: WELCOME AND THANK YOU MESSAGE BY MS. SANDY

She welcomed and thanked everyone who came. She's sincerely very thankful and has repeatedly thanking and showing her appreciation to the "CORE GROUP" for organizing the event. She said that she couldn't believe the fact that up until now, people still love and support her. Indeed, she was very happy.

 It was me again thanking her and her behalf for gracing the special event. Soon enough I had to give the floor again to Ms. Sandy so she could properly introduce the man behind her smiles.

Heart to Heart: Thank You Message from Mr. Christopher de Leon

As Mr. Macho-Gwapito stood up and flashed his smile, the crowd went wild. 

(He was actually blushing!)

And when he started talking, I'm telling ya, we were so KILIG! 

His voice was very manly! 

We are just so blessed to have them together in one event. 

Mr. de Leon was very appreciative and grateful that he was as well invited.

(And so are we!)


Soon after giving his message for everybody, we requested and asked them if they're ready for some photo snaps with the attendees. They both said "Yes, sure!", without blinking an eye. 

Here, check it out...

Heart to Heart: SMILES with MR. and MRS. DE LEON (1)

Heart to Heart: SMILES with MR. and MRS. DE LEON (2)

While everyone was extremely occupied with some photo ops with the STARS, 

 staff from Congo Grille served the food.  

Heart to Heart: YUM YUM YUM!

Nay Sandy led the prayer. Grace before meal. In all honesty, we could hardly eat. 

The feeling of fullness was there, but it wasn't the food that was filling us up.

I bet we took less food, but more of SAVORING THE MOMENT with THEM. :)

Heart to Heart: IT'S CHOW TIME! 

During which time, an AVP for Nanay Sandy (belated Mother's Day Presentation) 

and for the couple was shown. 

It's the way we feel her heart...their hearts, immediately.

Nanay Sandy was deeply touched, yeah, that was real. 

They're very pleased at that moment.

(Kudos to Nica!)

Heart to Heart: AVP

Following the past 3PM lunch and AVPresentation, we demanded to have pictures taken 

with them, but this time, it's ONE by ONE. :)

They couldn't say NO! It's never allowed. (Lol)

Heart to Heart: SANDY with FANtastics! (1)

Heart to Heart: SANDY with FANtastics! (2)

Heart to Heart: CRUSH ng BAYAN, MR. DE LEON with FANTASTICS! 

Heart to Heart: CRUSH ng BAYAN, MR. DE LEON with JALEKAMINICA (Kiliiiiiiig!)

After the "Kilig Moments" with them was the autograph signing.

The collage picture of Ms. Sandy with her personal message in it was given to the attendees as a souvenir.

They were generous enough to grace us with their presence 

but they were unexpectedly THIS generous to bring T-SHIRTS (WOW!),

The T-SHIRT says...

Heart to Heart: I ♥ CHRISTOPHER and SANDY DE LEON

Heart to Heart: AUTOGRAPH, SOUVENIR from the LOVELY COUPLE

Heart to Heart: FANSIGN :)

Everyone was inspired. They were there not just to make us feel delighted but mostly to inspire us. This is actually part of our happiness project. I was surprised how quickly the time passed. 

We're not gonna let them go without a Group Snaps.
SMILE! :)

Heart to Heart: NANAY SANDY with JALEKAMINICA and CHELSEY

Heart to Heart: THE LOVELY COUPLE with JALEKAMINICA 

We looked (we are!) so happy in this picture, we're just crazy in love with this

TWO beautiful people.

Acting wise and the way they treat people from different walks of life, they never fail to impress us.

It's not always easy to be light and happy hearted, but their go-with-the-flow attitude really made us feel 

high in spirits.

When we all screamed "KISS", they gamely obliged.

They made us feel LOVED and IN-LOVE. ♥

Heart to Heart: SANDY AND CHRISTOPHER KILIG MOMENT

It might be more difficult not to be mellow {for me} but the reward exceeds the effort(s) we put in. 

Happiness is contagious and I am sharing this blog to spread some cheer! 

You are probably wondering where this is coming from.

Let's just say that there is someone in my life (our lives) that most of the time gets to me (us). 

To all the attendees, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

You're lovely.
We will all see you again soon. The more the merrier! :)

Heart to Heart:  CANDID
