Half an hour later a police van came and for a moment I had the thought the Boys were going to leave the hotel by the main door and we were going to see them close. But it would have been too much luck. As we were waiting for whatever to happen there, we heard the girls of the other side of the hotel kinda screaming time to time, but we didn't want to leave from the main door, because there was a possibility between some to see the Boys there. Some girls who were in the other side came to the main door and told us AJ was leaning out of to the window and some of the other Boys too.
Well, and finally anyone saw the Boys left because they left from the parking, supposedly they went to dinner and then went to party at some Madrid disco. When someone told us they had left we stayed there for some minutes more and I saw a familiar face there… I took a look at the groups of girls who she was with and it was Maddalen, a penfriend of mine. And the girl I saw first was her sister. We talked for a while, but it seems that coincidences agreed that night, I saw another group of girls and I heard them call my name. They were two girls I know, Griselda and Nuria. I knew Griselda by letter and Nuria by e-mail. They were with some friends and all of them are so nice! I was so happy to have seen all of them! After that Dela and Kris took a bus and I went back home.
It took me about half an hour to fall sleep I was a bit nervous, the next day I was seeing the Boys in Música Si!!!
Monday, 13th November
As we were there waiting, we saw two mini buses, in one of them we saw Kev and Brian. After pass through the TV controls, (it's like the airports ones they detect metals and stuff) they give us the accreditation to access Música Si. We could enter to Prado Del Rey then, but did not imply enter to the studios... we were still outside in the street and it was cold!! We were in the street without entering in the studios for about two hours. We were talking with a girl about nothing in particular but at one moment the internet subject came up and I asked her that if she had internet she might have been in my site and you know what? I knew that girl! We've been emailing each other for over a year! Her name's Carmen. And I was happy to had met her that casual.
It was about 17:15 or later when three buses came to Prado del Rey and some people get off them, they supposedly had the accreditation to enter Música Si too. All of them were people from high schools and they came to the queue we were too. At that time somebody told us we were going to enter in the studio in some minutes, as we were walking towards there some girls went crazy and started to push in. We walked through lots of corridors (TV studios are like mazes) till we get to some kind of big room. There was a door, I think it was the door of the studio, but I don't know. But it wasn't, someone told us that door didn't go anywhere and that we had to stay in that room for a while. Some people of the high schools went there too, but not everybody. And here's when I wondered… who entered to see the Boys while they were being interviewed? I don't know. But I didn't see them at the interview, just later when they performed.
We stayed some time sitting down on the floor waiting till the security man who was there told us we could get up and follow him quietly to the studio. And more or less that what we did. And after walking through some more corridors again finally we get to the Música Si studio!! Some people were already there. We saw five chairs in the 'stage' and we sat down at the left side of the studio because we supposed that Nick was going to sit down in the chair in front of us (we were right:).
And finally the Boys came out, they were so happy and we were even happier to see them! They came out in this order: Kev, Howie, Brian, AJ and Nick! They were all so gorgeous!! Kev was wearing some green-grey trousers, some strange shirt and a beige jacket. Howie was dressed in black. Brian was wearing a leather jacket and a red shirt. AJ was wearing a psychedelic t-shirt, some jeans, a woollen cap and some cool glasses. And last but not least Nick :) He was wearing some beige trousers and a blue turtleneck sweater. His hair was short again (he cut it on 11th) and he was SO CUTE!!!!!!!!
The first time they came out Nick started talking in Spanish! Saying "¿Qué pasa?" (Wuzzup?) and then "Tu eres loco" (You are crazy) pointing at all the girls there :) Then it was funny when AJ started telling Nick -Say te amo (Say I love you) till Nick say it. Until they start to sing they were all the time like this, doing silly things, so cute! The first time they sang Shape Of My Heart some micros were off or something so we all started singing loudly as they made us the chorus, it was so cool! But as they were not singing they had to start again. And if there is some chance over where you live to see this program the second time is the one you've seen on TV.
This second time they came out I decided to take out my flag from my backpack, it was the flag I took with me to the Spanish Tour 99. I knew they had to see it, we were so close to the 'stage' and I wasn't wrong, they all saw it!!! After have sung Shape Of My Heart they did a medley of All I Have To Give, I Want It That Way and Time. It was so perfect! I LOVED IT!! And then, the performance was over. I had lot of fun! It was all great!
When they finished they left the studio, Nick threw a kiss so sweet! (have I ever said that I love this boy? :) And it's a real pity that it was an studio and we could not take pictures because they would have been the PERFECT PICS! We were so close!
After Música Si, the Boys went to the Amigo Awards. It was later than we expected when we came out Música Si. I didn't go to the Amigo's, I watched the ceremony on TV as I was having dinner at home. It was funny to see them on TV when I had seen them in person that same afternoon. It was a bit hard to get some sleep that night with all that images in my head…
