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.

Eleanor Calder Look

Hallo,
Enkele weken terug moest ik naar een familiefeest. Ik wist totaal niet wat ik moest aandoen. Ken je die beelden in de film waarbij een vrouw voor haar ongelofelijk grote kleerkast staat te kijken? Wel, zo zag ik er ook even uit. Ik moest best opschieten dus vroeg om hulp bij m'n moeder. "Doe die zwarte lange rok aan." Had ik een zwarte rok? Ik ging op zoek in mijn kleerkast en vond de rok waar mijn moeder het over had. Ik nam een witte T-shirt een bruin riempje, mijn Jeffrey Campbell's en ik was klaar. Nog snel even door Tumblr scrollen en dan kon ik vertrekken. Mijn aandacht werd getrokken door een foto van Eleanor Calder (het liefje van Louis Tomlinson van One Direction). Ik keek in de spiegel, ik keek naar de foto. Wel twee maal.

Hello,
A few weeks back I had to go to a family party. I had no idea what I had to wear. You know those parts in the film in which a woman stands for her incredibly large wardrobe? Well, I looked just the same. I had to hurry up so I asked my mom for help.. "Take that long black skirt." I had a black skirt? I went looking in my closet and found the skirt where my mother was talking about. I took a white T-shirt a brown belt, my Jeffrey Campbell's and I was ready. Yet a quick scroll through Tumblr and then I could leave. My attention was drawn by a photo of Eleanor Calder ( girlfriend of Louis Tomlinson of One Direction). I looked in the mirror, I looked at the picture. I did it even twice

Dit gebeurde totaal niet met opzet. Stiekem moest ik ook wel lachen. Dit was zo'n toeval! Maar ik kan niet ontkennen dat ik Eleanor haar kledingstijl niet leuk vind, in tegendeel.

Wat vinden jullie van Eleanor haar stijl?


This total did not happen intentionally. Secretly I had to laugh. This was such a coincidence! But I can not deny that I do not like Eleanor her clothing, on the contrary.

What do you think of Eleanor her style?

February-March

Hello dear,
It's been a while since I've posted. I had things in my head to blog about, but I just did not have the time! Next Thursday I have my thesis I've been busy from September to propose it to a jury. Stressful!

I got a postcard from Stine Alice, a friend from Denmark where I only have contact with over the Internet. She sent a postcard from London because she went to the concert of One Direction. I always think it's great to get postcards!

My stepbrother just got back from his trip to California behind , this was his gift to me! I can already say that I have won for "Best Drama Queen" an Oscar but that's a side issue haha!

Meanwhile, I turned 18 and this was the gift I got from my step-mom. I wanted a Naked 2 Palette for a really long time! I'll definitely write a review about this in the future!

A beautiful birthday gift from my mom. I'm really happy with it! I did not expect that I'd get him! I love Micheal Kors!

You know him, the guitarist of Tokio Hotel. This Friday  he and his twin brother Bill had a live chat but there was also a video of the whole band. Of this laugh I had to have a picture!

This is a picture of a few hours ago, cuddles with the dogs! 

I promise you that I will be blogging more! After Thursday it's almost vacation for me. During the holidays there will be much todo! Wanna  know what? Keep reading my blog!

Eva.
