Penshoppe Fan Conference 2012: Zac Efron

I got two free tickets of "Penshoppe Fan Conference 2012: Starring Zac Efron" from INQUIRER.net because I joined their twitter contest last September 27. That contest chose 30 winners and I'm one of them. One upper box pass is equal to P1,200 – P2,499 single-receipt purchase.

My guide to Inquirer's office

I really didn't have any idea where their office is. That's why I did some research at my phone. I traveled via LRT to Vito Cruz; then I called a taxi. I even showed this map to the taxi driver when we were in Pasong Tirad because we got kinda lost there. It really helped us a lot. I arrived at the Media Resource Building at lunch. However, I need to go home as soon as possible because I would have group work at around 1pm. That's why I kept standing while in the office's lobby. I'm in hurry and I'm glad Ms. Irene is very accommodating person. She entertained me even it was lunch time. She took a picture of me holding the free tickets. On my way home, I rode a jeepney. I asked the security guard from the office if there is a jeep that would travel to LRT stations. From the office<go to the left side>, I walked about 2 blocks then I saw the jeepneys traveling to the left side. I arrived at Gil Puyat LRT station and went home.

I arrived at MOA Arena around 7:15 in the evening. The gate opens at 6pm, but I can't go that time because I have classes from 4pm-6pm. After the classes, I went home first and change my clothes; then, off to MOA Arena. I and my sister traveled via LRT Gil Puyat. We are supposed to ride the jeep there to MOA; however, we don't have any idea where Arena is. Therefore, we called a taxi. Thanks to my friends, Maris and Audrey. They reserved us seats. I think around 8:30pm that the conference started.

First, they announced the 100 ticket numbers that will be able to meet and greet Zac Efron instead of 30. They did it by 20's until the countdown started. "The Crew", "La Divas", "Never the Strangers" and JayR are the performers. For every performance, Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, Ian Somerhalder and Mario Maurer are featured. Penshoppe shows clips of them. UP Pep Squad also performed wherein Zac Efron showed up at the stage.

Boy Abunda hosted the fan conference. He interviewed Zac and asked fast track questions such as Hot or Cold, Rain or Shine, Coffee or Soda and Sweet or Spicy. One thing I can't forget is that when he told Zac that while Zac is Penshoppe Boy, he(Boy) is Penshoppe Girl. Another is that when Zac threw his jacket to the audience. I think some fans fought there because security guards came there. Some fan girl said to Zac, "Be my first Kiss". Zac went to her and gave a kiss on her cheeks.

I don't have any picture during the fan conference since they don't allow us to bring cameras. The phones that I brought are not good for taking pictures. This is my first fan conference ever, and I'm glad that Zac came here in Philippines. Thanks to Penshoppe for bringing him here and thanks to Inquirer for the promo.
