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.
