Stunning Photo of Nina on Her Show at Veranza Mall, GenSan

Luck was with me during Nina's show at Veranza Mall. I was glad there was enough light that allowed me to take snaps of the singer at considerably fast shutter speeds. Anyway, when I tried pressing the shutter as those green lights swayed across the stage, the image below happened.

Nina Gives a Free Show at Veranza Mall

I missed Jed Madela's performance on Veranza Mall's opening day. That was a frustration. So, I made a promise to myself that whenever any of my idols would perform anywhere in the city, I would be around. My mistake was I didn't check Veranza Mall's show schedules. But I was lucky.

My family and I had dinner at Mooon Cafe, and we were hearing the live band playing while we helped ourselves to the buffet. Then we took pictures beside the famous waterfall just like everyone else did. We were about to leave when we heard the emcee yelling Nina's name. Like most who were there, we hurried towards the stage only to be stopped by a raucous crowd in front of us.

She first sang a slow version of Alicia Keys's current hit Girl on Fire, which stirred the crowd. She sang a couple other songs, such as Adele's Someone Like You, Pink's Just Give Me a Reason, Tina Arena's Burn, and two or three other songs I can't remember. She finished her show with a spine-tingling rendition of Through the Fire. Her high belts drew screams and howls from a stupefied crowd.

I didn't take videos because I wanted to enjoy her performances.

Veranza Mall, GenSan's Green Mall

Okay, so we went to the opening of another mall, another teen hub, in the city. The interior is very much like SM City's. Of course, the architecture is different. Take a walk on their veranda and you'll get a different feel. Wooden structures are there. The roof is made of glass. My only gripe is that rainwater was dripping from the veranda ceiling, because it was drizzling when we went there.

The mall is bragging it's huge man-made waterfalls. They say it's the biggest. I don't know whether it's the biggest in the country. Surely, it attracts shoppers, most of whom wouldn't mind taking selfies with either of the waterfalls in the backdrop.

Veranza Mall is an extension of KCC Mall. If you're at KCC, you can walk to Veranza by taking the pedestrian conveyor located between Jollibee and Pizza Hut on the second floor.

What the Likes of Enrique Gil Do to Crowds

My good friend gave me free tickets to a mall show that starred Jovit Baldovino and Enrique Gil. I got decent photos of Jovit, but by the time Enrique walked to the stage, everyone had stood on their chairs.

This was how the crowd was like before Jovit appeared onstage.

They're on their seats and perfectly poised.

When Jovit walked onstage, people stood on their seats, but I was still able to get some shots.

 The crowd became rowdy as soon as Enrique walked into the stage. These two shots the only ones I have of him.

These people are inconsiderate, but I can't blame them.

Here's a bonus video of Jovit's performance.
