Dreams really do come true!!!

[tativale]

Oka okay okay.... lol I'm going try to say everything that happened into words...

 

 

I really cannot stop thinking about what did happen.

 

First of all... everything started on Dec. 18th when I got a call on my cell phone from a lady from Canada. At first, I thought it was one of my friends teasing on me - talking in english. Just when the lady said my name with a very strong accent that I realized it couldn't be any friend of mine! LOL I was driving when

she called me and I barely could herar her cause in Brazil it is not allowed to drive and talk on the cellphone so I had to set my cellphone into the speakers.

She asked me to call me at 8PM my time. I got home and at 8PM sharp.. the lady

called me. During the conversation she asked me so many things - she asked what I like the most in Celine and I answered her: "Well, the fact that beside all the money and fame she has, she still is that little girl from Charlemagne, a simple person, humble, down to earth." The lady replied me: "ohh she really is!"

 

We kept the contact from time to time and they asked us pictures when we were a kid, with friends, family etc. Then, a few days before I leave, the lady told me a time to meet her. Saturday 20th, at 7:30PM at the colosseum entrance. From this time, I knew something was going to happen. Because they told us the interview would take 30-45mins and it would be individual. I tried not to think about cause I didn't want to expect something and then it doesn't happen.

 

 

I left Brazil on Jan 12th and I got in NY on Jan 13th. I met Mireille at the hotel room in NY. As soon as she got there we went to walk around and later have something to eat. We haven't done much this say cause both were pretty tired about a long flight. I got 9h30mins from Rio to Atlanta then 2h from Atlanta to NY.

 

The next day, as soon as we put our nose outside... I was freezing! LOL It was so cold! We went to have breakfast at Starbucks cause I was freezing! LOL We walked on the 5th Ave. We went to apple store, yeah we use their internet for free...lol hahaha I almost bought a notebook for me cause it was so cheap, 1.500$ - never in Brazil I cna buy that wonderful machine for that price. In the night we had dinner at a nice italian restaurant and after we went to see Chicago -- I didn't like it at all. Very boring! I almost slept during the show lmao lmao lmao

As soon as show ended we took a taxi and went to our hotel. We have to pack and sleep cause our flight to Vegas was very early in the morning. We had to wake up at 5:30am.

 

We got in Vegas a little bit after noon, on Jan 15th. We recorded ourselves arriving in Vegas as they asked us for the DVD project. Then, after we decided to rent a car. We got lost LOL cause we were tired and very hungry as we couldn't have breakfast on that day. Then, the first place I saw to eat was In n Out -junk food bleh lol - and we went there to eat. I was so starving! After eating we could think again... lol and I on the driver that time. We arrived at our hotel,Bally's and we asked for a better room cause we wanted to see the strip. Our room was fabulous! We took a rest after that 5hoours and something flight from NY to Vegas. Later, we had dinner at the hotel and I gotta tell you.. I totally slept at 9PM! LOL

 

 

Okay okay better make it shorter... I tried to see LOVE from Cirque du solei but I couldn’t get a ticket... sucks! lol

 

Wed. Jan 17th - Our first show. The show was very weird. Celine didn't talk to the audience at all. It seems like nobody was there.

 

 

Thusday 18th - As soon as we got at the Colosseum we saw the fans who were selected for the 'meeting' on that day. some of them were right behind us and we asked then what did happen. They told us that they met Celine, we were so happy!!! I don't know if it was good or not... lol to know before the real thing.

Tonight show was amazing completely different from the last night.

 

 

Friday 19th - My friend and I were woken up by my friend Estevam who called us from the airport at 5:30am!!!!!! He couldn't stop send me msg to my cellphone. At 10am he got in the room and we left for breakfast. The place we like at Paris hotel was very busy so we decided to go to Cafe Lago. It's not that good I don't like the food there.. but at least it was empty! lol At night, we got ready for the show. Again, it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Saturday 20th - OUR NIGHT!!!!! At 2pm Mireille and I went to Caesar's to meet Marisa for the surprise. I was really nervous on that day. I wake up at 6 oclock and had breakfast with Estevam at 7:30! LOL Mireille was like:'I want to sleep guys!" lol During the surprise that was a backstage tour as we imagined --- I was nervous for tonight. I couldn't stop looking at my watch. The backstage tour was great, I was really tense... lol and I was amazed by the fact that from the stage it is really possible to see the last seat on the 2nd mez! AMAZING!!!! I don't know how Celine can be stand up on stage.... lol cause in less than 5 mins my legs were hurting me lol and I was wearing a tennis shoes!!!!!

 

Back to the hotel.. I took a great nap. We got ready for the show at 4:30pm cause we were 3 in the room and we had to get there a little before 7:30pm. We left the room around 6:10pm but the valet was pretty busy so we asked Estevam to pick the car for us lol the traffic was terrible too! We filmed us on our way to the Collosseum that night. We also filmed us getting ready in the room. I still can't believe that I let Estevam recording me while I was drying my hair!!!! LOL

 

At the entrance, we met Ramona and her friends. All of us were going to meet Celine. Then we met the lady- Nadia- and she told us the we were not going to meet Celine. I already knew the truth...lol I almost laugh! LOL She took us inside and the cameras followed us everywhere. Inside we met Patrick and his assistant (sp). they took us to the elevator, downstairs. We entered in the green room that is actually orange. We can see many photos from the Miracle project.GORGEOUS!!! Then, Patrick said: You will meet Celine here! I got even more nervous and shy. I tried to think about something to tell her but I couldn't think about anything - just 'I love you'. When Celine came to the room we did stand up and she said 'hello' to everyone. I don't remember much. I just know we had to follow a line. I was right after Estevam who told Celine so many things - that he sold his car to see her first concert in Toronto. She was really touched. Then, it was my turn. Patrick introduced me to Celine saying: It's Tatiana and she is also from Brazil.She then said something I don't remember - Kimberly told me she said 'Hi Tatiana' lol and she shacked my hands and I just remember that I kept looking into her eyes - she looked into my eyes and I looked into her eyes and I could be there forever... LOL -- I don't remember what happened after that I just know that she came over to Kimberly and they talked,then she came over me again. I heard the woman from the production telling me:'Tatiana, tell Celine how many times you saw the show!'. I was completely shy and speechless! Celine then asked me: 'Oh it is your fist time in the show right?' I said: No, I saw the show 16 times! lol hahah and she said: 'I cant meet fans who havent seen the show, it's nto a new day for anyone!' LOL then, I gave her my little book with my texts, poems that I wrote. On the first page I worte an introduction and I wrote : Celine Little Flower and in handwriting 'Petite Fleur'. That was the first thing she saw 'Petite Fleur'. She read it out loud and she got a so cutie smile that I will never forget!!! She was really touched by it. She told me she was going to read it after the show cause she didn't want to read it in a hurry. Kimberly told me that she actually 'promised me' that LOL. I was like: OKAY OKAY Celine thanked me a lot for the book and I was like 'You're welcome, you're welcome" LOL I looked like a robot! She held my hands. She took the picture with Kimberly and I didn't remember that at all lol I swea tto God that I thought that Kimberly was with me on my picture with Celine LOL .

Then, Celine told me 'Let's take a picture!'. I put my arms delicately around her waist and she put hers around me on my shoulder. She then 'push' me very gently like saying :come closer. My heard did lay down on her arms and I got a HUGE smile and they took the picture. I don’t remember the rest... I just know that I was supposed to turn my left and I turned my right... and I just heard Nadia calling

me: "Tatiana, itis this way here" lol and I said: "ohhh I'm so sorry!" lol I met Kimberly and we waited for Mireille. Then, they filmed us going to our seats and I cried like a baby during the show. They filmed me crying!!!! lol I cried during a new day, if I could, pour que tu m'aimes encore, my heart will go on.. many

songs LOL after the show, my friends Estevam and Mireille went to do the interview. I changed mine for Sunday afternoon after Ramona.

 

After the show, Ramona gave me something I'll never forget. She gave me front row ticket!!!

 

Sunday 21st - I couldn't sleep very well, my friends only arrived at the hotel at 2:30am. I kept thinking why I couldn’t say anything to Celine etc... lol I woke up early and went to have breakfast with Estevam who was leaving a few hours. Mireille and I took him to the airport as we have to return the car. we paid for the car and took a taxis back to the hotel. I took a nap here and there... and as soon as I got in the room I got ready for the interview and the show. My interview was at 4PM. They took me a little bit later and I went to the green room again. Everything that I couldn't tell Celine in person I said in the

interview.

 

When it was 8PM we went inside and got our seats. I couldn't believe how closer I was! heheh Then, Rene showed up on the stage and it was super cute!!! He was a bit shy and when he talks about Celine - anything - you can see how much he loves her, his look changes completely!

 

After Seduces Me was over, Celine pointed at me and asked: "Do you wanna try that chair?" and I was like: "Hhmm who?, me?" and she was like: "yeah, you girl!" like saying yes with her heard - body-face language. And I blushed and she kept smiling at me like saying: 'you're so shy, girl" lol

 

I was amazed by RDMH - what a amazing performance! I'm not a big fan of this song... but LIVE it changes completely, it's the BEST!!!! Whhoooo When the show was over, I couldn't believe that I had to come back home. I didn't want to come back to Brazil...long flight....

 

On Monday Mireille left very early, at 5:30am and I couldn't sleep anymore. I called Estevam and I felt alone. I tried to sleep a little bit and when it was 7:30am I took a shower and get ready to leave. I had a fast breakfast, I couldn't eat that much. I didn't want to come back home. I swear that if someone ask me to stay there I wouldn't think twice and I would have change my airplane ticket! LOL

 

This was the best trip ever to Vegas. Not only because I met Celine... but for everything. The people I met there.. I'll never forget!!!!!! It probably was my last time in Vegas before Celine leaves. Still not sure about the last show.I don't want to say goodbye. I think I'll cry a lot! lol And I have to save money

 

for Europe it will be more expensive than Vegas... LOL

[Scully Dion]

[Salla]

Aww, nice review Tati!

[Celinefreak05]

Tati, great review!

 

The reason why you dont remember me taking my pic w/ Celine was because it was after you!

 

I think it went like this.... she talked to you, and you were shy. She talked to me about FANatic. Then she talked to you again and you gave her the book. Then you took a picture with her and left the room. Then I got my picture with her.

 

HA HA HA...I think that is how it happened?!?!?!

 

Kimberly

[Cheerfuljane]

Excellent review Tati. You're so funny.

Friday nights group were so excited to meet Celine that we were all in such a haze. We had to get together afterwards to put all the pieces together.

Suus says: Did you hear what Celine said between saying I'm crazy and she's crazy too?

Jane: No. Everything is just a big haze. Maybe they'll give us a copy of the video.

[tativale]

Hahahahhaha they should give us a copy of this amazing moment!!!!! lol

[Mireille]

Hahahahhaha they should give us a copy of this amazing moment!!!!! lol

[tativale]

[Mireille]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

nope.. i think i was AGAIN on another planet!!!

There was so much to see in that room, so many things happened at the same time.. and then sometimes you can't remember parts of it..

I remember that Patrick winked at me before he introduced me to Celine!

[tativale]

Hahhaha I think we alll were at another planet LOL

[Elaine]

Tati, I guess I'd have the same reaction as you did if this ever happened to me!!

 

Can't wait for December!!
