BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The minute I entered the Presidential Suite<\/strong> of Conrad Centennial Singapore<\/strong> that sunny Saturday afternoon, I can already\u00a0hear the thrilled\u00a0heartbeats of the 20 ladies from the\u00a0‘We Love JaDine Singapore<\/strong><\/a>‘ club that assembled that day for the exclusive meet-and-greet session<\/strong> with their favorite stars:\u00a0James Reid<\/strong><\/span> and Nadine Lustre<\/span>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ecstatic is merely\u00a0an understatement \u2014 after all,\u00a0you are meeting one of the most popular love teams\u00a0<\/strong>of this generation.<\/p>\n

For majority\u00a0of them, it wasn’t their first time to see\u00a0James<\/strong> and Nadine<\/strong>\u00a0in person; some even flew back\u00a0to Manila a couple of times to attend JaDine’s local concerts & events back home. But to be just a few inches away from this phenomenal love team \u2014 almost literally rubbing elbows with them<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 is nothing but a dream for any fan.<\/p>\n

(I probably died screaming inside as well as I’ve been an avid #OTWOLista myself. And here I am standing inside the same room as they are.\u00a0*breathe in, breathe out, dies*)<\/em><\/p>\n

The opulent\u00a0(and well, very expensive!)<\/em> Conrad suite was well-decorated with JaDine-related items: purple-colored balloons with\u00a0black-and-white printed memoir photos tied on the end of the strings; a backdrop tarp hanging by the curtains\u00a0that showcases Singapore’s beautiful skyline with James and Nadine’s blown-up up cut-out photos floating on the corners;\u00a0JaDine-themed cupcakes that were waiting to be devoured; and side desks that were filled with over a dozen of\u00a0hot off the press<\/em>\u00a0‘Team Real’\u00a0<\/strong>books.<\/p>\n

And then finally the two stars made their presence felt in the room: Nadine<\/strong> with her wide smile, and\u00a0James<\/strong> with his modesty.<\/p>\n

James<\/strong> and Nadine<\/strong> sat on the couch while everyone else sat on the floor which was at least 5\u00a0to 10 feet away from the couple. That was just at the beginning!<\/em>\u00a0Little did everyone realize that\u00a0as the minutes progressed, everyone was slowly creeping\u00a0nearer to\u00a0JaDine<\/strong>.\u00a0I almost wanted to shout: ‘GROUP HUGGG, ANYONE?’<\/em><\/p>\n

The highlights<\/strong> of the session were the short Q&A<\/strong>, ‘Team Real’ book signing<\/strong>, photo taking<\/strong>, and the couple trying out some local Singaporean delicacies<\/strong> such as the Malay kueh and Nonya egg tarts.<\/p>\n

But what I believe everyone else enjoyed the most was the giving of\u00a0gifts: bags of\u00a0bakkwa\u00a0<\/em>(Singapore’s version of beef jerky), a limited-edition Barbie doll for Nadine, black leather Armani couple jackets, and a special photo album with a compilation of JaDine’s photos collected by the fans.<\/p>\n

James<\/strong> and Nadine<\/strong> needed to bid farewell almost\u00a0an hour later after hearing their tummies growl. Apparently, the couple hasn’t properly eaten a decent meal since they arrived in Singapore in the morning \u2014 and at that time, it was already around 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

And as soon as they left the suite, everyone started shouting ‘OMG!’ Can’t blame them\u00a0\u2014 that was one fun, up-close & intimate experience.<\/p>\n

Katrina Banares<\/strong>, co-head of ‘We Love Jadine Singapore’<\/strong> said that their eight-month old group was formed because of ‘On the Wings of Love’<\/strong> and meeting James and Nadine has been the group’s collective prayer. Well, prayers get rightfully answered in due time, isn’t it? It’s as if someone up above was saying: ‘Achieve. Ikaw na. Diyos ko lord. Push!’<\/em><\/p>\n

(We Love JaDine Singapore<\/strong> co-heads include: Nica Filoteo<\/strong>, Garie Gaela<\/strong>, Grace Ann Frio<\/strong> and Lovelyn Redoble<\/strong>)<\/p>\n
