Louis Charity Match | 8.09.2013

Zoe's pov;


Me and my best friend went to Glasgow, Scotland to watch and support Louis in the charity match he was participating in. When we got there we managed to see Louis, yet we didn't get any photo's with him or an autograph. :( Anyway we went inside to watch the game, and it quickly became evident that they didn't want Louis there. As they were warming up, they didn't even include him. He managed to get the ball during warm ups when it went awry. After warming up, they came off, and Louis was a substitute. But as they were calling out the names of the players he got booed. I don't understand this.. I still can't. Why would fans boo a 21 year old lad, who's trying to help out a cancer charity? (Leukaemia) It really irritated and upset me.

Despite cheering for him, and trying to make myself heard, as much as my best friend, there was no beating the boo's. When Louis came on he actually had to try and fight for the ball even from his own team-mates. They wouldn't pass him the ball! That irked me. He's there for the charity. This isn't a football game where there is going to be a serious outcome! IT'S FOR CHARITY.

When he did get the ball he was booed again, and again and again. Then to top it all off, a player from the opposing team hacked him, and he went down, and hurt his knee. Earlier on in the game, the referee actually gave away penalties and free kicks to the players that went down. So why was Louis any different? Is that because he's a pop singer? I find it absolutely disgusting that the poor lad had to get up alone, and wave to the people in the dugout to be taken off.

I got home and my dad had seen it on TV and he said the tackle was that bad that it could have broken Louis' knee. My dad watches football all the time, and he used to play when he was younger, so I trust his opinion on what happened. I seen it happen with my own eyes, and I thought it was terrible from what I seen, but my dad was able to see it up close and it was worse than what I thought.

Overall I didn't like the match at all, and the Celtic fans are a downright disgusting load of people to boo someone who is trying to play for charity. I don't think I'll go back to Scotland. Despite having a beautiful city, most of the people I came across were downright rude. I showed a little girl my signed one direction book from years ago, and I was happily talking to her when I heard one girl comment "Well I've had a hug off Niall!" I wasn't engaging in a competition. So why she had to behave like a jealous mare I haven't a clue! Although this happened, I did find some of the people lovely. This one lady showed us how to get back to the city centre. So Kudos to her!

Winter Warmers.

So winter is on it's way in britain. It's raining and stuff right now but hey that's normal for us brits! One of the things you'll need this winter is definitely a beanie. What better way than to keep your head warm and look cute!

I got a really cute cream beanie from New Look. It's soft and has gold sparkles running through it!

The centre photo was of me on the way to Glasgow. It was a bit of a long bus ride and I was getting bored. Hence the photo.

One Direction - Our Moment

Heart notes

Jasmine Petals, Fresh Freesia, Frangipani

Top notes

Pink Grapefruit, Wild Berries, Redcurrants

Base notes

Creamy Musk, Sheer Woods, White Patchouli

Scent

Floral Fruity

Feel

Feminine

When I wear this I can't smell the overpowering (what you would think) smell of the fruit. It does smell fruity, but it also smells floral and clean. It's a scent that you can build up and it'll still smell nice, but if you add a touch to your wrists, or neck the scent will still be there. It's not overbearing or really powerful. It's very subtle and actually quite beautiful. I love the smell of grapefruit, and again it's subtle. Everything blends into one and it's a gorgeous sent.

When I bought it I got the small bottle, because I wasn't a hundred percent sure I'd like it, but I do! I actually love it. Just because it's one direction related doesn't mean I'd instantly like it. I'm very fussy when it comes to my perfumes or what i smell like. I love the fruity scents, and sometimes I'm not over keen on floral, but this perfume is very subtle in all aspects of floral and fruity, so this is the only perfume that I'll buy with the floral elements, as everything else seems way to overpowering.

A massive well done to one direction for actually conquering something like this. It's hard to make a perfume that people will like because of all the different opinions, but I myself will buy this again and again!

ONE DIRECTION - THIS IS US! 29.08.2013

Zoe POV;

OMG. This is all I can actually think of. It's a really amazing filmed and put together movie. The director deserves an award. In my opinion. He caught their best moments from the bus to the tour. Everything about it. I love it and it's perfect! I literally want to see it again. It was emotional, funny, and just them. It's just down right perfect.

I cried. I'm going to own up to that and be proud. I had taken my little sisters, my mam and my sisters friend. Me and my sisters friend were in tears at some points, but our 3D glasses made sure no one seen, although we weren't the only ones! (':

SPOILERS!

To the points where Liam wants someone to love him for him, Harry acting like a clown in a bin, and being thrown over Preston's shoulder. To Louis and Nialls' mam's writing on the phone box when they weren't allowed(': & Louis and Niall themselves dancing around and being stupid, and Niall saying he wishes he could talk to the fans, and chat with them sometimes and he can't and it gets frustrating, to Zayn having his own graffiti room, and buying his family a house. I already love these boys so much and if possible I now love them more. The hard work they do never goes unnoticed by us, but Zayn only having 10 minutes sleep before he had to record for best song ever made me a little upset. I want them to be able to sit down and breathe. I love them but I don't want to see them become drained.

All in all this film is downright amazing! & when it comes out on dvd, I will be getting it, I know it. #FACT

Emma's POV;

On the way to the cinema we were sooo excited!
My Mam drove us to Silverlink near Whitley Bay and she ended up taking a wrong turn.. Thankfully we arrived at Odeon on time.

We bought a 1D Combo which included a small popcorn, small drink and a 1D lanyard;

Our screening was awful at the start, the 3D effects were broken and instead of looking like this..

They ended up like this..

The film overall was amazing! I had mixed emotions seeing how much the lads have grown up, well aged into young men, I mean they're still lively and funny people. It was amazing to be shown footage from 3 years ago that has never been shown before. The scene when Louis was reunited with his Grandma was so sweet and I do hope she gets to see him perform in Sheffield. I noticed a few Nouis moments in there too, and if you know me, you'll know I hardcore love Niall and Louis. Hence the efforts and attempts me, my sister Rebecca, Zoe and her sisters Freja and Kate and not forgetting our Mams' have gone through to see the boys!

I've heard from my Mam that the film has had some bad reviews, but the boys should brush it off because those that reviewed it were NOT there from the start of their career to support them, they don't understand the laughter, memories and how they've turned people's lives around. They don't know that people with low self esteem and confidence have changed because of them. We've met so many amazing people from going to signings, football matches, concerts, cinema screenings. So how anyone can judge them on this is beyond me. Same goes for other fandoms too, we all enjoy meeting new people who share the same interests so why can't this rest our case!!

Zoe's POV;

Ok so yesterday 25.08.2013 was one of the most awesome days of my life. I FINALLY WENT TO A FESTIVAL! It was pretty darn amazing. I was there with my best friend and her sister Rebecca. Of course I had my Wellington boots out, & I was hoping it was going to rain, but it didn't, it did rain when we were on the way home though. It didn't dampen my spirits either, which were still really high! It was Little mix, The Vamps, and McFly. They are my favourites of the line-up so those were the people who stood out for me. (sorry to the others!)

Little Mix had these amazing chairs. OMG. They were black, but had their designs on the front and the band name on the back in bright pink. I would love one as my computer desk chair. Dougie. Yep. That's all I can say. He's hilarious! I think he's my favourite just because he's just so random. (my best friend's gunna kill meeeee...)

I think at a few points The Vamps recognised me, my best friend, and her sister.. I swear they were looking at us, because we were close to the front they could see us clearly.. I don't know I could be wrong..

The only bad point is that a few girls were all over my personal space. The one girl felt my back, my bum, tugged my hair and had her leg pressed right up against both of mine. I got really creeped out. I was actually at one point about to cry. Until my best friend saved me. Thank the Lord!

In the words of Danny.. Gourmet grill(;

Emma's POV;

I was incredibly excited to FINALLY see McFly after 10 years of loving them and their music. At school I got teased for being so in love with McFly and in music trivial everyone used to shout for me to help them out with McFly questions, it was cool. I always fancied Dougie when I was younger, and still do tbh.. I cried throughout their performances and went mental fist pumping the air, singing my heart out and genuinely felt like I finally belonged somewhere, even if the little girls infront were like 'wtf?' at me screaming and cheering..

My sister absolutely loves The Vamps and was upset because the first time we were stood next to them, at McFly's concert (which I sat outside of listening and singing along for hours because I had no tickets) I didn't know any of The Vamps' names and by the time my sister had told me, they were back on the tour bus. We met them about 2 weeks ago and they're so cute and lovely! Me and my best friend gave Brad a big hug because he wasn't very well at that time, and told him to get well soon :) During their performance though there were these girls who had a big poster and it was blocking our view of the boys, so I got a polo out my bag and threw it at her and it hit her in the head, oops!..

Little Mix were fabbb, omg when they sang Bootylicious by Destiny's Child and Jesy shook her bum! (I'm straight, but woaww) She had the best bum, as they had a 'booty shake-off' hahaha!
Poor Jade split her trousers, or as she said 'had a wardrobe malfunction' and had to quickly find replacement trousers..

I had an amazing time and went home with a sore throat, sore legs from standing for like 7 hours in the same spot.. a swollen tongue from my tongue piercing, idek what happened..! 

And the journey home was hilarious, I was bored and ended up being driven home with my back on the passenger seat and feet rested ontop of the chair infront of me.

:) Emma.
