Senator Loren, this is Lauren, the first Pinoy blogger, Mike Abundo pulls the reluctant Lauren towards Senator Loren Legarda.

Finally my Lauren meets the Loren, that people often mispell her name for. Lauren gets really annoyed whenever the Starbucks’ barista label her coffee cup as LOREN! Lauren being Lauren spells it out to these baristas. It just shows how popular Loren Legarda’s name is, huh?

I had no idea why I was invited to an event in Manila Peninsula . All I knew was that Mike Abundo was going to be inducted as Vice President of something which Lauren couldn’t recall. The little I know of Mike Abundo is that he is often in cosplay , gaming or anime thing.

Upon reaching the Manila Peninsula banquet hall, I was surprised to see a signage of the Philippine Internet Commerce Society ([tag]PICS07[/tag]) plastered by the door. What a relief that it wasn’t some cosplay event. To add to my pleasant surprise, Aileen Apolo, the birthday girl , Juned, Jayvee were also there to give support to Mike. Aww…

10 Thoughts on “Lauren meets Loren

  1. I just love that picture of her with roses. She looked so innocent but we all know the truth..hehe.

  2. Noems, my dearest Lauren may claim to be “flailing at life” yet cannot stop herself from revealing her showbiz personality.:D How cool is that? I like the photo with the roses AND her new colored hair (is it tinted midnight blue?). I’m looking forward to more interesting “flailing” Lauren photos with provocative captions.

    love,
    Lorna
