A Tale from 2 shot event with @veJKT48

On March 28th and 31st, 2014, JKT48's Fashionista, Jessica Veranda, is giving her fans a chance to have a photo shoot session together with her. Fans that had bought her solo photo-book from January 17th to 26th, 2014, were entitled to share and capture a special moment with Veranda, we call it, 2 shot. Fans were excited as they had been waiting more than 2 months for this event to be held.

 There are two type of 2 shots that were handed out. Type A and Type B. Each type will determine what outfit Veranda will wear during the event. Since the outfits that are going to be used are undisclosed, more than a few fans, including myself, opt to buy 2 photo-book in order to get both type. Of course, some fans also decides not to just get both types, but also more sessions. Pretty amazing when we really think about it.

DAY 1: March 28th, 2014

On this day. the event was held on a day off from Theater and together with Nabilah's Photo shoot . At first I was skeptical because I thought the event will be held at the ordinary 2 shoot room which has TERRIBLE lighting. Apparently, that was not the case as we were told to register and line up to enter the theater. There we saw where we will be having the session. It has background and actual photo studio's lighting. I was like "wow".

For some "Jakarta" Reasons (read: Traffic Jam) as it was Friday and Veranda had a class on that day, she arrived late. By late I mean, VERY LATE. Not that I can blame her lol. I myself went to the theater after messing around around her campus area, so I understand her reason. It's just that I thought it was really sweet of her to come out just after arriving and address us. She felt so guilty, I could basically see that in her face as she was so close to me (well, she was kinda in my face actually lol).

On this day, Veranda opted to wear a wig which I don't actually like. However, it still went well because she was very obedient (I know, that sounded really wrong LOL), and did the pose I asked her to do. Nothing major in this day except the crazy long line of people. I guess because Nabilah's Photo Shoot was done on the same day. Overall, it went really well.

Here's the shot from the first day


DAY 2: March 31st, 2014

As with the first day, I arrived early to avoid the long line. It worked really well as I became one of the first 50 people to have photo shoot with her. Also, I was helped as some of the guys in front of me freaked out and switched places LOL.

Veranda arrived and asked us if we had waited long. Some jokingly responded "Too Long!". She wears the option tires, I mean the option outfit that many of her fans adore, the white dress with the light blue denim Jacket. She also let down her hair. I was astonished and blanked out for a few seconds. She looked so beautiful. Casual, but stylish. Kinda like she just went home from having a night out.

As the line moves along. One of the 5 girls went into a mental breakdown and switched place with her friend. Funny to see it first hand but she kinda took a lot of time.

Then, my turn came. Here, It was amazing how our little conversation about pose and expression turned out.

Me: "Hari ini kita gak usah pose. Yang penting ekspresi. Muka kamu bisa garang gak?"
Ve: "Oh bisa dong!" (folding her arms and facing the camera with the super 'jutek' look)

I'd be lying if I said I was not shocked. I did not expect that kind of response from her. Maybe I should since she had jokingly did the "judes" face on me during one of the high touch session after I criticized her on twitter about her unwillingness to become Center. However, she has always been so kind and calm, no one would expect her to be able to pull that kind of attitude and facial expression. Especially not the way she did to me. lol.

In the end, in this second session I learned that there are more than Jessica Veranda than meets the eyes.


Ve, If you're reading this. I wanted you to know I had fun in both session. Maybe I need to use my last 2 shot card on you again. See you next theater ^^

P.S.: I probably should have saved the Black Shirt for the second session, right? Ah whatever. What's done is done. Next time I would wear cooler outfits. Maybe my love-love pinky shirt LOL
