It's a never-ending story of dreams coming true!

The country's pride, Charice, again marked another personal milestone - she met one of her music idols, Mariah Carey.

Almost a month after her performance with Celine Dion, Charice was again in cloud nine after she got the chance to talk and to hug Carey who has been described as one of the best-selling female pop artists of the millennium.

Charice met Carey at Wynn's Hotel for the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation's Grand Slam for Children benefit concert last Saturday, October 11 in Las Vegas.

A YouTube video uploaded by Charice's friend, FalseVoice, shows Carey tightly hugging the young diva Charice.

In a previous interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Charice shared that aside from Andrea Bocelli,  Josh Groban and Celine Dion, meeting Carey was also one of her  dreams.

"Siyempre po, gusto ko ding makilala si Mariah Carey," Charice said.

Last September 15, Charice proved that dreams do come true after she performed a duet with Dion at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Before Charice' duet with Dion, she had her second appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show last September 9, Tuesday.

Charice recently returned to the country after several successful international guestings. Her last appearance abroad was in Winnipeg, Canada where she was guest star of Kapamilya's popular noontime show, "Wowowee."

Just last week Charice was in the country and performed with ASAP champions, Rachelle Ann Go, Sarah Geronimo,  Sheryn Reghis, Yeng Constantino, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Vina Morales and Zsa Zsa Padilla.

During the show, the young singer received a gold record award for her debut album, "Charice".

The gold record plaque was given to Charice by Star Records executives last Sunday, October 5 at "ASAP (All-Star Afternoon Party) '08." An album that sells 12,500 copies gets a gold status.

In an interview, Charice, who became world famous after her music videos were posted on YouTube, thanked her mother network and the people who keep supporting her locally and abroad.
