Bench x Ronnie Salvacion - 25 Things I Learned From My Bench Shoots - An Art Installation

Ronnie Salvacion has been working for Bench for years. One day, he gave Mr. Ben Chan a simple gift... it was a collage of photos from the past Bench photo shoots that he did which included some of the local and international stars that have been with Bench for the past 25 years. 

It was so touching that Mr. Ben Chan made it into a book, and got it printed as is. Aside from that, a whole exhibit cum art installation was also done at the Basement of the new posh Bench Tower. I've been so blessed to have been invited during the Lee Min Ho presscon, and this event came after that. Simply, it was nostalgic looking at these photos.. let alone the celebrities that were there too to witness the occasion.

You might know some of them =)

Mr. Ben Chan saw in Ronnie Salvacion something that nobody did, it was the artist in him. Congratulations on this great show! Now, here's a glimpse of the whole exhibit in a few minutes. Enjoy!

BENCH presents: LEE MIN HO "My Everything" Press Conference

This is actually my second time seeing him this near and mind I tell you he's got almost creamy flawless skin. I've never seen anyone this smooth, this approachable and appreciative at the same time. Oppa was a delight to hear while being interviewed. He was a little tired but he didn't show it. It started a little bit rough on the venue because everyone wanted to see him, take shots of him and videos too. So imagine the throng of people fighting their way in the front so they could do this. Yes, I'm part of that crowd too. It was hard, but I know I've got to at least give you what you wanted to see. Did you catch my live tweets? :) You should check @kumagcow on Twitter because I covered pretty much everything. But here's an even better treat for you guys.

I had problems where I had to take shots. See this crowd? This isn't even half of it.

Then when everyone was settled... he came in... of course I've heard screams!

He immediately said hi to everyone and proceeded to his seat in the middle for the interview. He waved a lot to his fans and to the media. He was a little tired I think from the trip but he kept smiling all throughout the interview. He inaugurated the building, this was held on the 21st floor of the new BENCH TOWER. =)

Don't you guys just want to melt every time he smiles like this?? =)

Sam Oh of ETC hosted the program. She was fun and bubbly. She made it easy for Lee Min Ho to get settled and the conversation was fun.
