One Direction 'Where We Are' Tour Düsseldorf.

The second and last part of the 'Where We Are' tour was almost there. Chelsea came to my house the day before. We watched 'The Vow' in bed, trying to keep the tears away. Well, I failed..

The next morning we left at 9.30 am to the trainstation in Aachen. From there we would take a direct train to Düsseldorf. We still had 45 minutes before our train left. As usual or what most people do now, we searched for Wi-Fi haha! The sun was shining, which made our mood change to “happy”. The weather has such a huge influence on me. When we arrived in Düsseldorf we first went for food, pizza it was! At 2.30 PM we arrived at our hotel and we kinda stayed there. Exept for the time that we went to the supermarket. We were planning on queuing the next day at the arena so we needed some food to bring with us.

Our alarm went off at 6.05, 20 minutes later than we expected. We went downstairs for breakfast where we already saw other 1D fans. We arrived at the arena at 7.30 AM. The only thing I can saw about the queuing is that at first it was pure chaos. The security was unfriendly and they talking to us and putting us between barriers like we were cows. At 4.30 PM we could enter the arena. At first I didn't see anything but when the boys came on I stood on the second row at the B-stage. The were so so so close! Zayn waved ( yes, I know it for sure!) and Harry put his thumb back up to me. The concert was amazing and so different from Amsterdam. Standing in the crowd makes a difference. You kinda feel one with the boys and crowd.

One Direction 'Where We Are' Tour Amsterdam

The concert was on the 24th of June but my trip started earlier. It started the day before by driving to the train station. I went to my friend, from there we would leave for Amsterdam. After an hour I arrived at her trainstation there she picked me up. I was kinda starving so we went to Quick for some yummie fastfood! Then we took the bus to her place, another hour on the bus.. We relaxed a bit and watched 'This Is Us' before going to bed. We were getting nervous..

The next morning we woke up at 7am, not very tired.. WE WERE EXCITED!! We took the train to Antwerp, it was only 15 minutes. We still had more than an hour to take the train. Where we went to? Is that even a question? Starbucks ofcourse! We didn't had breakfast yet so perfect timing! We almost stepped on the wrong train but damn we were happy when we arrived in Amsterdam. We still needed to buy tickets for the metro but first, pizza! No we didnt't eat anything healthy, oops! We already saw a few fans in the station and when we asked the woman behind the information desk which metro was the best for us she also told us that her daughter was going. "Have fun girls!" She literally screamed. Also our hotel was full of fans "Also going to One Direction tonight?"

We went to the Amsterdam Arena by bus, it was only 10 minutes driving. As we stepped out we walked to the "Hot Ticket" desk to the registered. "Go to section E." We passed by all the fans who were waiting for hours already. We showed our Vip-pass and were at our seats in no-time. For real, it was so chill, no screaming of pushing. We had amazing seats and I enjoyed it so much. Zayn his highnotes can still bring me to tears *-*. If you are going to a show I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This was the 5th time that I saw them and my third concert, I keep falling in love with them.

After the amazing concert we took the bus, which was full of fans, back to our hotel. The next day we went to Starbucks again. On our way home we got stuck in the train for 45 minutes because there was an accident between a train infront of us and a passenger. We were so stressed becaused we missed our connection but we made it in the end.

This was the second time that I met my friend Chelsea and it was so so so soooo good! Can't believe we're going back to Düsseldorf in a few days. We have standing tickets then. Let's see which memories we can make there!

You get the greatest memories while traveling.

What will 2014 bring?

Hello everyone,

2013 is almost over, how fast did it go?! I wish you all the best in 2014! We don't know what might happen, good things or bad things. But don't forget to make the best out of it! Today I'm gonna show you the concerts that I planned in 2014, as you might know, I LOVE concerts!

On February the 13th Daphni and I are going to Avicii, we're not huge fans but I think I wanna be part of such a concert too! Just closing your eyes and let the music take over the place!

On March the 20th I'm going to Beyoncé again and also with Daphni. Last time I went with my dad. When I heard that Queen B was coming back to Belgium, Daphni told me that she really wanted to see her. Last time I had seats, the best seats of the arena. So freaking close to the stage. Here you can read my article about that evening (http://www.evaheroo.com/2013/06/beyonce-concert.html). This time we have standing places. An our before the ticket sale I found a pre-sale link. So we got our tickets one hour earlier then the rest. NO STRESS, felt so good!

Last but not least, One Direction concerts! I'm totally ready for the "Where We Are" tour! I'm going with Chelsea this time and sooo looking forward to it! In Amsterdam we have VIP tickets and in Dusseldorf standing. Aren't we a bit crazy? One Direction doesn't come to Belgium see we go to them! Anyway I like it!

If you are going to one of these concert where I have standing places. If you stand infront of me, please move a little for me. I'M FREAKING SMALL. Oh I'm so scared that I won't see anything. Let's hope for the best!


This was 2013 on evaheroo.com
PS: I'm still here in 2014!

Internet friendship.

Do you have an internet friend? Do you have many of them? How far do they live from you and is your friendship real? A lot of people ask it themself cause do you think that you can get to know someone on the internet? On TV you hear a lot of stories about boys and girls who get to know each other on the internet and meet up but then it doesn't end that good when it's on the news. But are there also nice stories about internet friendship?

Personally, I have a bit of experience with internet friendships. I got to know my first internet friend in 2010 via Twitter. We talked a bit and we started to talk more and more. She was from Denmark, I was from Belgium. When we both had an iphone we gave eachother our number and the Imessage- conversations started. Stine from Denmark knew a lot about me. She knew about my problems but I also told her the most random things that happened to me. Our parents knew about their daughter talking to someone far away from them cause we sent eachother letters and postcards. This summer I decided to visit her. I took the plane on my own. Off to Denmark, off to Stine.

In 2012 I got to know Cindy, also via Twitter. From the first day on we started texting and we didn't stop! She only lived 30 minutes away from me. We met up and it was like we knew eachother for so long! No single awkward moment! I also can tell her everything, she's always there to put a smile on my face. We went twice to London, once to Cologne and other events and concerts! I also celebrated NYE with her and more parties to come!

Since a short time I talk with Chelsea, a girl I met on Twitter. It started two days before the concert of One Direction in Belgium and since that they we didn't skip one day of talking! I tell her almost everything via text, imessage, Twitter or Facebook. I haven't met her until now but that will happen really soon!

(Do you want me to vlog my meeting with her or read a blog about it? Let me know!)

I can only say, don't be scared to meet up with internet friends. Take a (maybe) risk. But always be careful!

Meeting One Direction

February the 13^th 2012

The bell rang, I just had 7 hours of classes and was allowed to go home. My whole class knew I left to Paris tonight to meet One Direction the next day. At least that was the plan. There were only 150 bracelets to get inside of the autograph session and to meet the boys. I was quite calm, realistic. There was a chance that I wouldn’t get in.

During the last class I was a bit nervous. I watched movies about England. Personally, I think England amazing, better than Belgium and especially London. But now I felt like I was wasting my time. I wanted to go to Paris!

I think I was as one of the first out of school. I saw dad his car though. "Good" I thought. We drove home where my stepmom had cooked. Eating was difficult and I checked my bag one last time before the taxi came. The driver pushed all the suitcases in the trunk but so slow. To the chagrin of me. My step-brother saw it and helped the driver a hand. We left with destination ' Brussel-Zuid '. When we arrived in Brussels and the GPS stopped working. I already had disaster scenarios in my head. I have to admit that I was in panic. We could still get the train right?

After a coffee, we were able to get in the train. We had a new destination "Gard du Nord". Dad told me on the train that we had to take a taxi right away in Paris. I ran as fast as possible with my suitcase out of the train when we arrived and ran to first taxi driver I saw and pushed the address of our hotel in his hands.

When we arrived in our hotel we just putted our suitcases in the rooms. I wanted to go to the Virgin Megastore as quickly as possible. At the counter we asked if we had the right address. Our hotel was on two streets from the Champs-Élysées but that was of course long stress. "Vous allez à droite à gauche et après, c’est la." It would be so close?

We followed the instructions and he was right, it was really only two streets further. There were no fans infront of the store. I was relieved. The bodyguard of the shop told me there was no use to start waiting tonight. I could easily walk around in Paris tonight.

February the 14^th 2012

I could convince my stepbrother yesterday to go to the Virgin Megastore at 6am. At 5 am I got up to get myself ready. Funnily enough I was totally not nervous. Good thing too!

We left to the store and saw quiet a lot of fans. We stood at the back of the queue and moments later a girl came towards us to write a number on our hand and our names in her notebook. '72' was my number. They would give the list to the bodyguards of the shop when the bracelets were handed out. If you were not on the list, then you couldn’t get inside. Around 8 am, there were already 200 fans waiting, but only the first 150 were allowed to go inside. Every hour they came to check the numbers. A lot of people sneaked in so their names were not on the list. When the noticed it, they just put the people at the end of the row. Around 1pm  the responsible bodyguards came to check the numbers. Meanwhile there were fences. When you matched with your number and name and first letter of your last name, you could stand between the fences and you were sure of a meeting with One Direction. Everyone started to push and pull, there was a lot chaos. Especially since the people without a number were also trying to get in. I was so happy when I stood between the fences.

It was about 3 pm and at 4 pm we would get our bracelets and then we had to come back at 6 am for the autograph session. Due some vague reason we got our bracelets only at 6 am and we couldn’t  eat anything. Luckily my dad and stepmom gave us enough food and drinks. It was very annoying that we were not allowed to sit down between the fences but had to stand up. I had such a pain in my knees. Biting on my teeth was the only option.

It was almost 6 pm and they started to put fans per 20 between small fences as group by group to go inside. Then the chaos began.. I kept myself quiet, I found it so ridiculous to create chaos for nothing. Everyone was sure they would get in

At one point a girl pulled at my hair. My father saw it just happen and did sign to the bodyguard who was standing right in front of me. He took me up and helped me over the fences. I could get in earIier than them. How is that called again? Oh yes, Karma! I walked in and got my bracelet. Fans behind me ran inside but I had to wait for my step-brother he had the books that I wanted he boys to sign. After a few minutes I found him/

The guys came on stage and the Virgin Megastore exploded One by one, went on stage, fans were freaking out. I let some fans pass and go before me. They kept pushing.. Then I got pulled out of the row by three bodyguards. I think that they saw that I already let a few fans pass.

When it was my turn to go on stage I was instantly thrown infront of my favorite boy. Zayn was first and was still signing something for the girl. I was still not at the table and he laughed to me. I told him I came from Belgium and he looked surprised and putted my twitter in his back pocket. In advance there was agreed to not ask for a kiss or hug. Sorry but my goal was just to get a hug from Zayn. I asked him so and got it too. I hugged Zayn Malik! My nose and lips were just not against his neck.. I went to Niall that Zayn still asked "Should I sign the book?" Haha I totally forgot about that. Nial pointed at me and he said "Highfive! Highfive! " I gave him a highfive then the said "BOOM!" in silence. Liam was next but the bodyguard who was at the end of the table said I had to go faster. I passed Liam and gave Louis a highfive. Quickly I went back to Liam and he got the same as Louis. Harry was last. Something happened that I did not expect, I didn't say anything I just laughed. I could just not say anything when Harry looked me in my eyes. Wow such beautiful eyes.

He waved, smiled and said "Bye!" and that was it..

I found my father and stepmom between all the other fans. The bodyguard who took my out of the group when someone pulled my hair, allowed my dad and stepmom to get in. I walked to my stepmom and told her that I hugged Zayn. "We have seen everything!" she said. I ran to my dad and saw a tear on his cheek. He was so happy for me that I had met the guys. I love my father.

We went out and immediately I searched for the bodyguard that helped me and thanked him.

We ate some food and returned with the train home.

This was the best day of my life.
