My name’s Jade, I’m 16 and from Australia. Never in my…

My name’s Jade, I’m 16 and from Australia. Never in my life did I think I would meet my everything, Justin Drew Bieber. Here’s how my Bieber experience went. Justin tweeted he was coming to Australia in July which excited me because he hadn’t been here in over a year. All radio stations and music channels had opened up competitions to see him for his “Live and Intimate” and Sunrise performance . I’d enter over a hundred times with no intentions to win anything. One day I got a call saying I had a chance to win Hot30’s competition. I was so excited but there was no luck. A few days afterwards my sister had received a text saying she had won 2 tickets to his Sunrise performance. We were so overwhelmed and grateful for this opportunity because we honestly didn’t expect it. The following week was the week all the rest of the competitions would close. Friday the 13th of July I was at work and had about 7 missed calls. I decided to call back and I don’t regret nothing because that phone call changed my life. “Hi Jade, I’ve got some good news for you, you’re going to Justin Bieber’s live and intimate concert and that’s not all..you’re meeting him.” Shock was the only thing running through my body. I never cried so much in my life. 3 years of trying and it finally happened. July 17th 2012. The day had dragged on a little and after continuous stalking and patiently waiting in front of his hotel, the time had finally came. He had performed first and I was front row and he was literally a metre away from me. It was such a blessing. I remember looking at his ‘BELIEVE’ tattoo and it looked so real. Alfredo also came and took a few shots of Justin and spoke to my sister and told her he loved her! As Justin sang ALAYLM and I quote “I stand back and point at you you you,” I was one of the girls he pointed at! After his amazing little concert it was time. We lined waiting to meet the man himself. While I was waiting, Kenny came out of a room and I chased after him. “Kenny can I please get a hug?” I asked and he turned around touched, my hand and said I’m so sorry, I’m in a rush” but that was enough for me. The line moved quicker than I thought and I could see Justin right there. Wow. He was flawless. I went up with the group and he greeted us all. “You smell so good Justin.” I couldn’t help but blurt it out and he just laughed and said thank you. I felt so good, accomplished, proud; all these feelings jumbled together. Our photo was taken then everyone said their goodbyes. I couldn’t move though he was right there. I just stared at him and Justin looked at me with his famous smile. I touched his face after fighting the urge to kiss him…his lips were so plump in real life! He just smiled understanding me and hugged me. His hug though was perfect, he like squeezes your hips. He also then kissed my cheek. Justin Bieber kissed my cheek! Before I walked off I quickly took in his features again, he’s so skinny in real life and handsome. I said “Thank you Justin for everything you’ve done, for always putting your fans first it means so much,” and he just showed me his biggest smile and replied, “No thank you for your support.” I walked off crying at how perfect he was. I wouldn’t trade that moment in for anything. He is proud to make us happy.  The next day I went to Sunrise after camping out in front of the place all night. I was front row yet again for this performance and it was just the most amazing thing ever. Afterwards I was waiting outside Justin’s hotel and decided to go get something to eat. As I did, I met Scrappy and Dan Kanter. They were both so sweet and made sure everyone was happy! Justin soon after came out of his hotel and yet again he was like 1 metre away from me. I didn’t get to see him much then but seeing a glimpse of him was enough and everything else that happened was perfect. I’m so happy for what has happened to me. I finally met the boy who changed everything for me in 2009. Justin Drew Bieber. Never say never! -@biebersplaygirl More here: My name’s Jade, I’m 16 and from Australia. Never in my…

My name’s Katelen and I’ve never written anything…

My name’s Katelen and I’ve never written anything like this before, so here  it goes!   I live in Perth, Australia and I’m nearly 14 years old. In late 2010 (December) Justin’s first Australian tour came on pre-sale and I knew I would never be able to afford tickets. So Mum and I entered all the competitions you can enter for tickets to his concerts, or even more; a meet and greet as well. Tickets kept on selling out so I’d cry, then they’d release more tickets so everything would be alright. I saw so, so, so, so many competition winners be announced from the radio stations, music t.v shows, newspapers and even social messaging sites (MSN). Everyday I got so jealous.  On April 18th I got a mention from a girl on Twitter saying “Congrats on winning the Justin Bieber Competition”. I instantly got very excited and replied “Which one?” because I’d entered a lot of them. I logged onto my emails to find 2 emails from ninemsn – I cried. The first one was just a “Congratulations you won!”, the second one was from a Representative. Confirming my address and phone number as my phone had been turned off from being at school. Julia (The Representative) rang me and told me personally that I was going to meet my idol! I also had the choice to choice a friend; I chose my Mum. She was the one who helped all this happen after all.   The morning of 7th of May was very hectic. My dad came around to get my brothers because mum and I wouldn’t be home until late. I was the only one home my mum had to take my brother to one of his competitive football games north of Perth. 12 o’clock wouldn’t come quick enough! 12 o’clock came and we arrived at Burswood Dome at approximately 2:30pm. Bought some merchandise, and mingled with the other beliebers. At 4:30 we had to meet Pat at the box office, and he gave us and about 100 more fans their wristbands. We walked through the stadium, and backstage to see Alfredo, Ryan, Dan and Kenny! Justin was waiting behind the black curtain and we had to go in groups of 4. We went in with 2 other random girls. At first I wasn’t going to stand next to stand next to Justin, I stood next to the other girl and my Mum was about to walk around to the other side when Kenny asked her “Is this your daughter ma’am?” So he moved the other girl around the other side so me, mum and Justin could stand next to each other! (I’m on the right of Justin, and My mum’s the one looking over).   We then got escorted out into the stadium and waited there until all the meet and greets were over. Then we went to the main area. We could either go outside or stay in there and get to our seats first, we decided to stay inside as the lines were kilometres long. We were allowed to go to our seats first; it was empty! Then swarms of other girls entered and soon it eventually was full! The show started late, and Dash and Will; the opening act came on, Then DJ Tay James came on and DJ’ed for 15 minuted then it started!! I couldn’t contain my excitement! I swear Justin pointed at me during ‘U Smile’ and ‘Somebody To Love’ but it could’ve been someone next to, behind, or in front of me! At the end of the concert I had no voice, and my Mum couldn’t hear anything! We got home after midnight because of detours. That was My Bieber Experience!

world cup extra time rules

Extra time is added if there is a time at the end of regulation. If the extra time expires and there is still a tie, a penalty shoot-out of five kicks each. Should the shoot-out end in a tie, a sudden death round takes place until one team scores when the other does not. Professional association football play an extra 30 minutes, made up of two 15-minute periods. Not all competitions employ extra time; for example, CONMEBOL has historically never used extra time in any of the competitions it di

England Vs USA Its The TechCrunch World Cup Face-Off

This Saturday England will play the USA in the South Africa World Cup 2010. Personally, I’m hoping England won’t be as complacent as it was in 1950. Back then, the first World Cup saw after the Second World War saw the two teams face each other for the first time. After winning 23 of its preceding 30 games, England was feeling pretty confident. What did the Yanks know about football anyway? When …
