I wasn't able to bring my dslr to this event, good thing I bumped into my old college buddy Bea of Clickthecity, who was kind enough to lend me her spare point and shoot camera. Thanks so much! I owe you big time!
Personally, after Lost and Rules of Attraction, I haven't really been following Ian Somerhalder's career. In fact, I have never seen a single episode of The Vampire Diaries. So I really wasn't prepared when it came time for Q&A when he answered questions about his offscreen passion, The Ian Somerhalder Foundation, and his thoughts on society's relentless pursuit of beauty and eternal youth, I was simply blown away at how charming and intelligent this man really is. He can now consider me a fan.
Anyway, some photos from the event:

That's it.
Thanks to Jad of PRAsia and Rocel of Penshoppe for the invite. =)
