That moment when the clock hit 12:00md last October 31; it
was, by far, one of the craziest twitter parties in our fandom’s 8 months of
existence. Everyone was at the hype of their emotions, posting their tributes
in Social Media; expressing how this 21-year-old lady touched their lives. I
remember, I promised to post 21 reasons why I love Nadine; but I wasn’t able to
do so. I don’t know. For some reason, I was lost for words. She had me
speechless.
Wondering where to wander
– I spaced out. I was tapping my pen on my notebook, trying to figure out
how to begin this post-birthday blog post. Until I’ve received a wonderful message that inspired me to
write about her. And so here you go.
21 Reasons why I love
Nadine Lustre
1. Inborn Comic Antics
Flashback DNP Days – I bet
everybody would agree to me that Nadine’s forte is really comedy. I laughed my
ass out every time she threw punch lines, plus her make-faces, ugh everything’s
just oh-so-natural. It’s inborn. Not trying hard as compared to other teen
actresses whom I find it awkward whenever I see them do comedy roles.
While everybody commends James’ acting and
critics Nadine’s dramatic sense in Talk Back and You’re Dead, let us not forget
how Nadine, on her character as Eya, became the hero of Diary Ng Panget.
Most celebrities can do drama, but
not everyone can pull off a comedy role.
2. Little Miss Cowgirl
Have you read the positive review
from her official photographer in the Witching Hour? Need I say more?
3. The Game Changer
Have you seen her break-dance
moves on her recent birthday celebration? She’s so cool. Such a good sport!
She’s really game just to make her fans happy. Again, need I say more?
Not only that. She becomes the
game changer and rocked the showbiz industry as she continues to make waves. No
wonder she’s now tagged as ‘The Next Big Star!”
4. Fans? No. More like a Family.
I did a research on Naddicts. I
see how she really connects and bonds with her fans, even before DNP Days. They
spent anniversary on a normal set up. She talks as if she’s just her kabarkada.
Whenever she interacts with her fans, you wouldn’t believe that she’s a big
star already. She bonds with them. She watches movie with them, even until now.
Just recently she had an ordinary dinner and videoke dates with the admins of
her fanclubs. I mean, who does this? Considering how in-demand she is right
now.
She sees to it that she has a
personal touch with her fans. I see the IG Video of JaDine Mommies when she
really stopped just to interact and sign posters of her fans, even so she’s
inside the car already, on her way out. None of the fame has gotten into her.
She’s the next big star yet she makes us feel like she’s just within our reach.
Oh Nadine, you’re awesome!
5. The Stage Darling
Do not expect PA-CUTE,
PA-SWAY-SWAY, PA-WAVE-WAVE performances from Nadine, as compared to other
artists out there. More often than not she goes off stage. Have you seen her
Paligoy-ligoy performance in CEBU? Watch it. For sure you’ll know what I mean.
She may sing on an average level
but she dances like there’s no tomorrow. Try to watch her dance performance
with AJ Mulach (Nobody’s Perfect).
6. Her name spells Artistry
Even before DNP Days, she already
knows how to paint. She’s an artist. We’re all witnesses of her artistic sense.
See how she posts her pictures on IG, to the point that her account has been
featured on various blogs and magazines already. Her artistry defines her
personality.
7. Her name spells Fashion
She has become the new Fashion
Icon of all teens out there. I see pictures of fans sporting their Nadine
Lustre-inspired OOTDs. Nadine gives a new meaning of Fashion where you don’t
need to wear glamorous outfit and heavy make-up just to look fashionable. Her
Fashion is creativity at its finest.
8. The Natural Diction
I don’t know. Is it just me? Or
does everybody notice that her diction is a killer? So Much Class whenever
Nadine speaks in English; her MTV VJ Stint is at par to the current pool of MTV
/ MYX VJs. That’s why people misconstrue her as ‘sosyal’ because of her accent
whenever she speaks English.
9. Superstar Outside, An Ordinary Girl Inside
You’ll not expect a rising star
roaming around the Mall just like an ordinary girl. She’s an epitome of a girl
who’s on her way to stardom but simply acts as an ordinary girl. I’ve come to
read a tweet when Nadine shopped in a boutique. To some, they expect
celebrities to savor the fame with much VIP Treatment; but with Nadine, pumipila po siya.
10. Define Intelligence. Her grammar.
No more explanation; but Nadine
definitely is a good written and oral communicator.
11. Interview PRO
Do you notice how Nadine answers
during interviews? She’s very straight forward. She knows her words. She
manages her own thoughts and knows how to deliver it in a way that everybody
can understand. She sugar coats it but not too much to the point of deceiving
people. She’s very honest. She’s not giving false hopes for the sake of
pleasing the fans. What you see is what you get.
More often than not, she’s always
to the rescue whenever James is caught off guard with all the intriguing
questions coming from the press.
12. Maturity at its finest
Nadine answers never-ending issues
of bashers with so much poise and maturity. She always advises us to relax and
stay calm whenever we encounter negatrons who try to pull her down.
13. Hard to get. Not expectant – Career or Love
life.
She’s not clingy. She knows how to
take care of her heart. With all the effort that this guy has been showing to
her, even off cam, it’s really ‘hard not to feel a little bit of something’ but
I am proud on how Nadine handles herself. She’s not expectant. She’s hard to
get. She takes her time to consider apprehension, to consider the situation. Relate
it to her career as well; her blossoming career is also unexpected. Everything
came in as a surprise.
14. Everybody loves the Underdog.
Many didn't expect that Nadine
will make it big; but look at her now.
15. The Values of her family
I am a follower of Ms My Lustre’s
IG Account and I always see her share bible verses and positive quotes on her
account, thus giving me an impression on how she molds Godly values and
character to her children. You’ll also see how Tito Dong speaks during
interviews.
16. Her Values, Our Values
She’s an inspiration to many. The
way she carries herself and pursues her dreams amidst life’s challenges. She
almost gave up her career. She’s been waiting since she’s a kid to have this
big break. She’s with VIVA for four years until she bagged the role of EYA that
opened doors of opportunities to her. I hope Nadine’s story of hard-work will
be an inspiration to all teens out there.
17. Such a sweetheart, at least to her friends
James always says that she’s a
good listener. She’s very understanding. If Nadine has bad records in the past,
I guess her friends who know her even before she became a superstar wouldn’t
say that she deserves all the opportunities that she has; but likewise, all are
unanimous that she deserves all the blessing.
18. Her presence is a breath of fresh air
I always say this; but I believe
that the reasons why people are starting to love Nadine Lustre because she’s an
underdog and she’s a breath of fresh air as compared to other overrated artists
in the industry.
19. Leading Lady of All Time
Is it just me? Nadine compliments
almost all leading men that she’s paired with. Starting off with AJ Mulach, I
had a marathon of all Bagets episodes and her tandem with AJ was commendable.
The chemistry is also there.
Next is, Joseph Marco. Oh Come On, this one’s
strong. I remember I watched Joseph’s Tapatan Ni Tunying Episode when he said
that ‘Kung gusto ko ang isang tao, gusto
ko talaga siya, pero kung ayaw ko, ayaw ko talaga sa kanya!’ So does this
mean that Nadine won his heart as well? I guess YES. It’s very apparent on her
IG Post. Let us also include Dominic Roque. Pansin
ko lang puro HUNKS ang nakapaligid kay Nadine!
Okay, JaDines. Don’t get jealous. You’ll
have your moment.
20. The Diamond in the Rough
This is to address all the bashers
out there who critics Nadine’s acting. Wait for her until she masters her
craft. Liza Soberano started out shaky but look at her now? Watch Forevermore
and you’ll see her improvement from her acting stints in MBL, GTB, and She’s
The One. I am confident that Nadine will
improve! Take it easy on her. Give her time. Reason why she has unstoppable
opportunities is because the experts believe in her potential.
Let me define this and you’ll get
what I mean.
Definition Number 1:
The
expression " You're a diamond in the rough" means that a
person has some hidden, undiscovered talent, characterisitic or quality that is
not immediately clear to others due to one's rough, undeveloped exterior. The
person has a lot of untapped potential or qualities that are untapped, but
needs to be nurutred and refined in order for these qualities and traits to
really reflect the tue person.
Analogy:
The
phrase “diamond in the rough” is an analogy to a diamond. When a diamond
is extracted from the mines it looks like a glassy rock. It is only when
it goes through the process of being cleaned, cut and polished does it acquire
sparkle and brilliance and is considered of high value. When this analogy
is applied to a person it means that the person has great potential but is
rough and unpolished, but with hard work the true potential of the individual
can be discovered. The phrase “diamond in the rough” may also refer to
someone who is genuine and valuable inside but has a rough exterior.
21. The Best On Screen Partner
“I couldn’t have done it without
you!” James Reid to Nadine Lustre.
To all negatrons out there who are
still in denial that James really couldn’t make it without Nadine, I hope that
James acknowledgement on how Nadine helped her is enough to shut your mouths. James
Reid is James Reid partly because of Nadine Lustre; same goes to Nadine. Case
Closed.
The fact that James made an effort
to book a trip to Japan with Nadine is more than enough to prove that Nadine
has made an impact to James’ heart. For an 8-month old love team, I guess that’s
too much to give, guess she’s really THAT special.
The list can go on and on, but believe me dear, I will never get tired of supporting you... because you deserve it. Happy Birthday Nadine Lustre.
