Oblivion Red Carpet Premiere
Nevermind everything else, I got a picture with Tom Cruise.
‘Nuff said.
Oh yeah and I saw God in person. He gave us humans a thumbs up.

This was actually my second time to meet Tom (so we’re first name basis now lol). First time was during the Rock of Ages Premiere:
He is one of the nicest man in Hollywood when it comes to dealing with fans. He arrives an hour or so earlier than the rest of the cast just so he can sign autographs and take pictures with the crowd. Plus, he is super friendly and easy to talk with! He takes his time signing for everyone, with his helpful assistants around him to accommodate fans’ requests. Being a guy from the Philippines, a country that’s thousands of miles away from the US and where we only see these stars on TV and the big screen, seeing a Hollywood celebrity in person is a dream come true. I never thought I’ll see the biggest star of them all but here he is, right by my side and smiling with me! These surely are events I’ll remember for the rest of my life!
Thank you so much, Tom!

On The Road Red Carpet Premiere
Welcome to the AFI Fest 2012! 6 gala premieres in 8 days. Hitchcock premiered last Thursday (Nov. 1), then Life of Pi on Friday, and then On The Road yesterday. I went to the Hitchcock premiere and I got disappointed for not seeing any of their big stars. Anthony Hopkins and the other stars were apparently filming that day while Jessica Biel was on honeymoon. Good for them but what a waste of my time! I wish I was the one she’s on honeymoon with instead haha. I was wondering if any of the stars would show up for this one. I already got the idea that this festival is not taken as seriously by the actors compared to other gala premieres. It’s still nice to be optimistic though. Looking forward to seeing Kristen Stewart! As we all know, The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2 is premiering in a couple of days and there’s no hotter names in Hollywood than these Twilight peeps right now. People from all over the world are now on their way to LA to witness the ensemble hit the red carpet in this one momentous occasion for the very last time. Due to previous commitments, I will not be around for that one so to all of you campers, have fun and enjoy the premiere!
Okay back to On The Road. This film is directed by Walter Salles. Along with Stewart, it also stars Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley and Amy Adams with Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst. Here’s the trailer:
I also really wanted to see Viggo Mortensen as I am a big fan of The Lord of The Rings. He was a no show though, as well as Sam Riley and Kirsten Dunst. But I’ll tell you who’s there, the star of the film, Garrett Hedlund!
Let’s see who else. Oh, Amy Adams!
And last one. Whew. I’m just so glad she came! I might miss the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere but at least I won’t be missing all of it for here right in front of my very eyes (or camera lens) is Kristen Stewart!!!
That car above that partially blocks the shot, by the way, is an Audi. The official sponsor of the AFI Fest 2012. It will soon be mine. Mwahaha.
