An Eyeball with Garnier Philippines Brand Ambassadress Georgina Wilson

 

Garnier Philippines held a meet and greet, question and answer forum, and photo opportunity with Garnier Philippines Brand Ambassadress Georgina Wilson at SM MOA last June 2, 2012.

 

Georgina is the perfect brand ambassadress because she uses Garnier products ever since she's in England.

 

Hundreds of fans brave the stormy weather just to have a glimpse of Garnier Philippine's Brand ambassadress Georgina Wilson.

Georgina Wilson as Garnier Philippines new brand ambassadress gamely posed with her fans. I am lucky enough to be invited to interview her for the event. As expected a lot of people lined-up and bought Garnier's products just to have a photo opportunity with the vibrant and intelligent Georgina Wilson.

I had a photo opportunity with Georgina at the photo booth.  I actually met her in person last January when we covered the media launched of Fila at the Polo Club.

 

I met one of Georgina's fans. (S)he was so excited to finally meet Georgina in person, she even dressed up for the occasion and had her hair styled for the Photo opportunity.

Luckily, I was invited to the formal opening of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf last night, June 1, 2012 at their Adriatico, Malate store.

It was drizzling and after two and a half hours of commuting plus walking, I finally reached the store. It's my first time to reach that area near Remedios Circle so I was so relieved to have finally reached the place without getting lost. I was welcomed by the event organizer. After signing the sheet, I was given my press kit.

He then ushered me inside. Upon entering, you will be welcomed by the staff at the drinking station. Various drinks are being offered by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at their Adriatico, Malate store.

I don't drink alcoholic beverages. The woman manning the drinking station offered me water and pointed the location of the water pitcher.
