It was a fun-filled afternoon of songs and casual-chit with young, talented
actress-singer Julie San Jose. I was so thankful to be one of her blogger
guests to experience a fun afternoon via video-ke sesh with her yesterday
February 5, 2012 at CenterStage Tomas Morato.
Before the invitation, I didn't know that it will be MyJaps (as most
popularly known to her fans) who I am spending an afternoon with. I only got
confirmation a day before the actual videoke session that it was relied to
me,that it was indeed Julie Ann SanJose.
The welcome banner for the #JamwithJaps
I have met MyJaps a couple of time already during the many presscons that
I've attended with GMA 7 and the most recent is during on location shoot of the
movie she did with Elmo Magalona, Just One Last Summer. We also had the chance
to interview her but this recent experience is much way different from my other
encounters with her.
If the experience is exciting for me then what more for the 4 lucky fans of
MyJaps who joined us at CenterStage Tomas Morato.
Yes, not only the bloggers had the chance to meet Julie Ann San Jose
"more" up close and personal. MyJaps had a twitter online promo for
all her fans/followers. The 4 lucky winners are @Quimmey..
I arrived just on time for the videoke sesh. Good thing we left the Dunkin'
Donut presscon for Derek Ramsay a bit earlier. So glad also that some bloggers
who were at the Dunkin' Donut presscons were the one's who's also going to
CenterStage.

Anyways enough for those "not-so-meaty" part of the bloggercon
for MyJaps. I know you're raring to know how the videoke party went on.
For the first part of the event, the host ask Julie started with her
carreer. But I don't wanna bore you my "Kwento". I'm letting you on
the meatyand juciest part of the event. I know you guys and most especially her
fans want to know who is MyJaps In and out. So what I did is I compiled the
most interesting things you would want to know about MyJaps.

I have met her a couple of times and I must say MyJaps is truly a one of
the nicest persons you could ever meet in the Showbiz circle. Up close, she can
be just anybody whom you can treat as a friend-very warm, approachable and
always kept her feet on the ground. Maybe that’s why all her fans and followers
love her and support her.
MyJaps, I just hope that you continue to be the sweet, warm, outgoing and
talented person that you are. Just enjoy what you have right now and keep
aiming high.
