hi guys Nicole was amazing last night! i couldnt believe i was so close to her!
she kept cursing the whole time saying things like modafuka, ****, f*ck etc. lol i met her three times outside the venue although we didn't really get to take pictures cause she's always in a hurry and undercover to avoid commotion.
i was already at the venue 10 hrs before the show (it started at 2am) one fan and i were waiting at Nobu hotel when we found out Nicole was out touring Manila with Apl de ap of BEP. we asked the hotel staff if there are any VIP entrance and she said no and that Nicole passes through the main entrance everytime. she mentioned how sweet nicole is and always says hi to everyone. We got so excited after hearing these words. The staff also mentioned how nobody comes to Nicole to take a photo, most of them just got intrigued and surprised that she is actually Nicole Scherzinger. after a few hours still no Nicole then we saw her dancers upload photos on instagram so we were like "omg they already have wifi, they must be in a stable area already" so we started looking for them and kept sending messages to her dancers asking them where they are but they never responded. Didi was the only dancer who responded to me days before the show and she also said "Ok" to me when i told her "see u today!"
one of the fans (carmi, who by the way got a picture with Nicole cause of her Nicole tattoo, i'll tell more about it later) called the event organizer to ask where Nicole is, he said Nicole is at the venue doing soundcheck. so we ran and started to look for her. we waited in front of the venue and kept asking everyone who goes in and out if Nicole was there.
it was so stressful cause one will say "yes she is in there" and then some will say "no shes not" we waited for hours again and realized maybe she's not really there anymore cause it's been hours and what the hell will Nicole do inside the venue for 2-3 hours? Me and one of the fans decided to just eat at a restaurant nearby. we asked the other fans to just be on the look out for Nicole.
In the middle of our dinner, the other fans called me and said "hey it's didi" so i got excited and stood up and said Hi to didi and she was like "ohhh hiiiiiiiiiiii" with such a sweet smile and then Natalie was behind her. We got so distracted by Didi that we didn't realize Nicole was also walking behind her. She was wearing the casual gym tank top and summer hat and shades and was looking down all the time. we panicked and everyone at the restaurant were looking at us LOL. we were soo ready to leave our food and money on the table and jump at nicole but we realized she was walking rapidly and the next thing we know she was already inside the venue.
after eating we ran back to the venue and waited for them to come out. They were doing sound check cause we could hear her music playing. Btw, there only 6 of us waiting there.
after an hour they got out of the venue and that was when i recorded this:

one of the fans chased her but still couldnt take a photo with her. I was like "arent we going to chase her??" but everybody was pretty much starstruck and couldn't think straight. I also saw froggy (nicole's sound guy) and called him by his name and he was surprised that we know him.
we waited for about 2 or 3 hrs again til the venue opens. we were the first ones there. I can confidently say that we were just the hardcore Nicole fans there. no one else, the others just know her by her name and some songs and most of the people in the venue were rich people and local celebrities.
we waited til 1am. No nicole, she's late. i could hear one of the organizers apologizing to the female Dj and asked her to keep playing cause they are still "waiting for Nicole". at 2am the DJ stopped playing and the curtain came down, everybody got so excited. people were on top of the tables and everybody was cheering.
Nicole started performing and sang

WUL
Come to me

buttons
jai ho
baby love (it was originally stick wit u)
dont cha (before the turn down for what break down, Nicole asked froggy to stop the music and she and her dancers drank one shot of tequila before twerking)
DHYB (i called for Natalie and Didi a couple of times and they winked and waved at me while they were dancing)
she was so beautiful and person,her energy was amazing. There was so much angst in her performance, I don't know if it's cause of Lewis or not but she was definitely different last night.
during Baby love she asked single people to put their hands up and said "don't worry I will be your valentine"
APl d ap was also there and Nicole kept giving him a shout out and said "don't forget to vote for his team on the voice"
after the show we rushed outside the venue hoping to catch her but realized from instagram that she stayed with apl d ap and a few local celebrities to get some drink. we waited outside the venue again and it was about 4:30am when I saw security running out the venue. i followed them and realized they were running towards Nicole followed them and saw Nicole taking a photo with an old lady. Security was so tight but we really tried our best to come closer to Nicole. one of the fans with a Nicole tattoo at her nape rushed towards Nicole and said "Nicole can we take a photo with my tattoo" when Nicole saw it she was like "awwwwwwwwww that's shamazing" then she took a photo with her tattoo then turned her around, hugged her and kissed her forehead for like 5 seconds.
I realized i will not be able to take a pic with Nicole so i ran towards Didi and took a photo with her, i could tell that she didn't expect it cause she was like "ahh, uhm oh ok" then we took a selfie. she said " its so nice meeting u".
I tried to take a selfie with Nicole in the background when Didi saw me and asked "did u get it (the photo with nic)?" and she took my camera and took a picture of me with Nicole which was a total fail BTW cause she didn't even include half of my face LMAO and i could barely see Nicole on the pic. she said " i dont think i got it" and returned the camera. we tried to chase Nicole again but she entered the casino grounds so we couldn't bring our cameras. we went straight to Nobu again but we didn't see Nicole anymore.
It was such a great experience and seeing Nicole up close made me appreciate her and her beauty more. I have seen her a couple of times before but this was the closest i've ever been to her.
I didn't take full videos since I wanted to enjoy the moment and just cheer and sing to Nicole.
