Hi My Friends!

Just got back from L.A. and I am still in shock from last sunday´s night happening.

Well, i´ll try to tell you into some short paragraphs what happened to us on this so amazing and fantastic trip

It all began when a fan, who as a friend of mine and now, since March 3rd, entered to my best friend´s list, sent me an email telling me that he was one of the 50 lucky winners of the Team Céline contest.
I have a confession to make, at the first sight, i didn´t believe him.

After talking for a little while, i really felt was true and i did encourage him to take his passport, visa and these whole traveling things because i could feel this was going to be our time!

He did it! On March 1st we were taking the airplane! As many of yours already know... every trip i make in order to meet Céline (or at least to give it a try) something weird must happen!
And at this time it couldn´t be different. Can you imagine? I live in Sao Paulo, my friend lives in Rio (about 45 minutes by airplane), he had to come to Sao Paulo so we could go together to LA... but his flight delaied a bit and we got to go into different flights... it was a very hard flight... i was just thinking... Oh My God! He´ll give it up.. and i won´t see Céline...

But while waiting for the local flight (from Miami to LA) he appeared and i could feel really better
You should think i am a king of sellfish because i was thinking of the concert... but at that time, i couldn´t call his house and say such a thing... can you imagine if his parents didn´t know that he had lost the first flight?

We had an wonderful time in L.A.
Indeed it was the very best time of my life!

Early on sunday afternoon, we´ve got to the Kodak Theather to get the tickets... and i´ve got the chance of meeting soooo many incredible new friends, and also, some few amazing ones who already knew me from this site. It was really incredible

At night, everyone was there, sharing the same love, the same passion together and finally, Céline came in.
She was really really really wonderful, she opened the concert singing A New Day Has Come and it all went on with some amazing hits, on which i simply have NO WORDS to describe and i have no way to choose my favourite one though. They all made me cry. Can you imagine?? Céline was really really closed to us. That was the very best place i´ve ever been on a Céline´s concert... I LOOOVED it!

She has sang Goodbye´s the sadest word... WOW What a song... and she also peformed Have you been in Love (3 or 4 times because of a techinal problem... what a matter eh? lol)... when she performed this amazing hit, she went down to the audience and simply sang part of this song to a couple who were sat closed to the stair´s stage.

She also performed I´m alive (a very nice and dancing hit)... and Nature boy

I cannot forget that she sang 3 old movie hits (Titanic´s, Upclose and Personal´s and Beauty and the beast) ... at this last one, she sang in duet with Brian McNight. After singing with him, she said " I love you Brian, i want to make a duet with you someday " :)

The thrillest moment was when a guy asked if he couldn´t touch Céline... imagine guys, Céline invited him to go on stage, he gave her a hug !! WOW! What a lucky man! ;)

I also loved the song she did with Destiny´s Child... was amazing... WOW

Well... if i stand here the whole day, i will always tell you... it was amazing... amazing... WOW OMG!!! It really was!

After the taping was gone, everyone went out of the theather and some few fans stood over there... Céline came back to record messages to the calling shoot of the Special, to give interviews to TV channels (ABC ...), and she did gave some autographs! I can´t believe i´ve been touched by an Angel.! Yeah! I was sad because i wasn´t going to get mine´s ... but a girl Tanya (THank youuuuu) called her and she looked at me... WOW
Tanya said... "he´s from Brazil! He came all the way just to see you", Céline looked at me... then i said, "Yeah, I did it!"... Céline toke the little peace of paper from My hands, and said... "Really?? That´s amazing!"... after signing, she touched my hands and WOW ... i was shocked (i´m still)... All the girls started to hug me and sharing all the emotion i was really feeling... i started to cry softly and suddenly, the security toke me out of the place... i was really really happy... i´m still and will forever be!

Do you think it has just gone?? WOW... My friend... well, i need to introduce him to you, ahn? He was luckier! But he deserved, because he was the lucky winner and would be really unfair if i would get the autograph and he would arrive on empty hands!

Well.... now i´m showing you some pictures we have taken ove the amazing journee in LA... hope you like them! By the end of it... there´s a surprise! WOW!!!!

I´d like to thank all of yours who helped me in every single thing... from the all the beginging... :))
