Meeting Zendaya Coleman 2/26/12

So, I found out about meeting Zendaya a little around Christmas time. The wait was so long but well worth it. I love all of my Twityter friends so I did a thing where you can e-mail me a letter to Zendaya, & I will print it & put it in a scrapbook for her<3. It was mainly for poeple out of the USA though so that they had a chance.

Finally the day came, which was today. We walked all around the COBO Center trying to find her, when my sister noticed a sign that read…”Zendaya Coleman from Disney’s Shake It Up.” We RAN over so fast & saw how long the line was!!! We waited for about 3 hours, as I met many new friends & talked to sooo many fans of  Z! I took videos & pictures every chance I got, & Zendaya was so flawless & sweet to her fans. When it was almost our turn, my heart started racing & I had butterflies sooo badly, it was like unreal. The security was telling us we can only get 2 things signed, & 1 picture. I wanted her to sign 3 things though…so the nice people in front of me in line took it & got it signed! I was so thankful :] We got up to Z & she was looking kind of sad all day, like tired. My sister told her about the book & I told her people from otehr countries wrote in it! She said “Now that’s the stuff!” LOL. I felt so special, everyone got 1 signature from her & a quick pic, but Z went crazy with us! We talked for 5 minutes staright, & she was like so bouncy & full of energy & excitement with us! (my sis, me & jazzy). My aunt told her how we’ve been waiting since Christmas & Z’s face lightened up! She was like “AWWWW!” She looked through the book so appreciatively. She said “can you girls do me a favor?” & of course we said yes. She had me hold up the nook & she took a pic of us for her Instagram!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then since my sister gave her bracelets & told her they were friendship ones because we each had one, she asked Z what color she wanted. She went “ooooo, & made like the cute fishy face! hahaahaha shewas soo happy & surprised and flattered.  Z was like “ummmmmmm, hmmm lets see..White!” haha it took her forever to decide what color. She told us to all put our wrists in & we took a pic together of our bracelets. I wanted to tell her congrats on 1 mill views of Swag It OUt, but I forgot. ): She told my sis “you have really pretty eyes!” & 5 people told my sis she looks like Z.  We took pics, & for every pic she sat & people had to lean with her, & we made her day & she said it was the coolest gift ever, so she stood up & hugged us for the picture!!! Like we were bff’s She didn’t personalize the other people’s, but she asked mine & krissy’s names & wrote SO MUCH all over our stuff!

I sadly had to get off the stage, & I turned around for one last look & Zendaya winked at me & gave me a thumbs up. I couldn’t take it after that, I waved back & I burst into tears. I still cannot believe this day happened. What a dream :’)

Meeting James Maslow from Big Time Rush

So today, February 25th was an extremely unforgettable experience.  I met James Maslow from Big Time Rush! I found out I would be exactly a week ago, when my sister was riding the city bus & noticed a flyer for the meet & greet! I seriously screamed, & instantly began making plans in my head. The night before, & the night before that, I stayed up all night, I couldn’t sleep from excitement. Forcing my eyes shut, they just popped back open. Finally, it was Friday night. After falling asleep some time around 5am, I woke up at 8am. We had to rush & get ready, because I knew how many people would be there, we wantyed to be there early so we were guarnteed meeting him. I wrote a very long, nice letter Friday night too, & put it in an envelope sealing it shut.

We hurried over to get n the city bus, (Me, sister Krissy & cousin Jasmine). The whole way to the mall I had butterflies in my belly. I was thinking of all I should say. As we pulled into the mall entrance, I saw on the big sign “Meet James Maslow from BTR”  & I honestly almost peed myself. We got off the bus after it stopped & stepped in the mall, realizing we were in his presence! James wasn’t even set up yet, & the line that was formed was already wrapped around the entire mall. People camped out for hours before it happened. The songs from BTR were playing & I felt so proud to be a Rusher. We waited in the front instead of getting in line, because we wanted to see him make his appearance on stage. So we waited, & we knew he came out when thousands of girls started screaming so loud! We were like some of the only people standing there, & he smiled so big RIGHT at us, & said “hey” & waved!!!! We fangirled sooooo much. We ran back to go get a spot in line, as all of the girls were crying & shaking & totally freaking out! You could hear utters of people yelling “we love you James!” & “you’re so hot!” & he made a heart with his hands to everyone! it was so adorable <3.

Finally after a little over an hour, it was our turn. I walked up & handed him my letter & said “I wrote you a letter:)” & he said “really? thank you!” & handed me an autograph, then gave me a hi-5! My sister gave the drawing she made him & he was soooo happy!! His manager thanked us for giving him gifts, & it went into a big box of other presents people had brought. After tsnapping a few more pics & recording him some more, it was time for him to go. We ran outside to the back (same place we saw Bella) & he was in the car waving at us as girls flooded & screamed! The car slowly pulled out & girls cried & chased, & waved! I was waving & made a heart with my hands to him, then they rolled down the window & he waved us all goodbye! the car drove off, & we knew it was the end of our day )”

So, as you can tell it was an amazing experience, & I am very happy & honored to have met James Maslow. He is such a sweet gut & I dearly hope every fan will one day meet him. I ope he comes back soon! Until next time I meet a celebrity, God bless & bye! XoXo

Love My International Twitter Friends :]

Hey guys! As you all know, I tweet a lot & have been doing stuff such as giving prizes away & things like that :] However, you may not know why, or when or who gewts them.

Lately since I have reached my goal of 1,000, I had a big Selene Gomez trivia game! I chose 5 people who had said they wanted to play, & we began. When I do trivia’s, I tag the people in every question so they don’t miss out. I write down each name on a sheet of papaer to keep score so that I know it’s fair. At the end of the game, whoever has the most points wins my prize! I then have you DM your address *(If parents say yes) & the next day I will mail out your prize.

But lately, I have been doing something a little different…I have many many friends through Twitter who DO NOT live in America. I personally love celebrities & meeting them & getting autographs, but for these people it may be very hard. Not many celebrities travel over there unless they’re on tour, etc. Fan mail is hard because you never know if the celebrity will mail over seas. So what I have been doing is this.  I find out the stars who send back, & I choose some of my Twitter friends who have been nicest to me, or there for me a lot. I will then buy stamps & envelops (when my mom says yes) lol! & I write the celeb a letter explaining that I need their autographs for whoever I chose, & that they don’t live in America so it is harder. For example; just last week, I sent a fan email to Stefanie Scott explaining to her some of my friends…about 5 days later their autographs came in the mail! I am sending them out tomorrow!

So as you see, I love to do this, I love putting smiles on people’s faces, & I enjoy helping out because that is what Jesus would want me to do :]
On February 26th, I get to meet Zendaya! What I did was, I gave 2 weeks for international people to e-mail me a letter to Zendaya. Anything they wanted to tell her! I printed off those e-mails & collected quite a few. I am making her a big scrapbook & will place each letter in it nicely. She will positively read them all, because I know what a sweetheart she is!   It was mostly for people not living here because sadly but true…they may never have the chance to be noticed bu her, or meet her I let a few good friends who do live here however email me.

So as you see, I do fun trivia’s for everyone to join, but to clear things up, I will ONLY get autographs for people OUTSIDE of the United States. I’m sorry to those who live here, but it’s just not fair to the others.Thanks for reading guys, love you & GOD bless!!

My Friend Steven Chavez

This blog is going to be about someone I believe God sent as a blessing…

Back in September, I was babysitting my niece MaKenzie. We had been watching Shake It Up alllll day long, because Kenzie absolutely adores Bella Thorne (I do too). The show was over, & she got really upset. I told her we can watch some episodes on YouTube, but since she is only 3 years old she didn’t know what YouTube was. So, I showed her some clips. She then asked to listen to “Watch Me” by Bella Thorne & Zendaya. SO I put it on & she started dancing like crazy. She ran over & grabbed my sister’s Bella autograph & started dancing around the room with it claiming Bella was her best friend. I thought it was so cute.

So I put MaKenzie up to the wall, & asked her to make a video saying why she loves Bella. Of course, because the camera came out, she hesitated & became very shy. She said a few words & I decided to put it on Twitter in hopes Bella would notice her little fan. Not even 5 minutes later I get a tweet from @YourVoiceCountz asking if I needed any help getting Bella to see the video. I said yes, & became very excited. I talked with them & we exchanged e-mails, etc. About an hour later Bella Thorne posts a link that says, “soooo cute.” I click it, & sure enough there is the video of MaKenzie!!! I was crying & telling my mom & big sister (Kenzie’s mom). I couldn’t believe it & I continued thanking God over &over. Since that moment, I realized I can do anything I want, it wasn’t impossible to be noticed by Bella, & to keep trying because if I didn’t post it, (which I almost didn’t) Bella wouldn’t of even seen, & it’s all thanks to GOD.

Me & Steven started talking I guess, (I can’t remember much after that), & we had a lot in common, because we both are Christian.n You can follow him on Twitter @Steven_Chavez, or the fan page I created for him, @StevenChavezFanPage.

Now, about Steven. From what I know, he is a great man of God, He lives to serve the Lord, which every person should do. Because without God, where are you in life? How do you expect your blessings to come? I think of Steven as a blessing from God because of what he has done. He wants to help people out. Help kids who feel neglected or hurt, & show them that God is here holding them in His arms. I respect Steven because of his choices in obeying the Lord. I hope to one day meet him also, so I can express how thankful I am. I pray for Steven almost every night, to always do what God asks & to keep him safe. So, please, pray for him as well, & maybe talk to him on Twitter. Get to know what a great person he is. I know he is a friend you can depend on. Because the other night, I was having a problem, & he was there for me right away.

& never, ever forget to thank God & for the things He has done in your life, whether it be big things like this, or something small like finding a dollar on the ground. God has something planned for each & every one of us, it is just a matter of listening to God’s word & what He has to say to us. & finding it all out.

So, thank you for reading this blog, like I said I have more to come. & thank YOU Lord for bringing Steven into my life. & please Lord, continue to bless him with your many goodnesses.

Meeting BooBoo Stewart

On December 3rd, 2011 I got to meet BooBoo Stewart!

I found out he was going to be attending the Christmas in Ida program which is in the town right next to mine. I immediately told my friend Cheyenne, who lives in Ida. We decided to make plans about it. The day came & we were off! The parade was exciting, but we were more exciting to meet BooBoo. As we were walking around the little town trying to find out where he was, we overheard a rock band playing. I remembered seeing in his tweets him & his sister were musicians. I told my friend (Cheyenne) & my sister who was with us (Krissy) that we should go over & check it out. Sure enough, there was the handsome BooBoo rockin’ it out up there! We watched them sing, & touch the hands of all the fans. He even called a lucky fan up on stage to be sang to. It was so sweet =)

After, he announced they were holding their meet & greet in the little white tent near the stage. We rushed over to try & get in line. It was crazy!!! We actually weren’t that far back, because the line wrapped around he whole place, atleast we were INSIDE the tent =) We waited for what seemed a decade to get to him, but it was about an hour and a half. We were so excited & nervous.

Finally, we were there, in the Presence of BooBoo & the girls! I gave him my fan letter I wrote & stood for a picture. He signed a pic I brought for my lil bro, & one I had purchased. So did the girls. He hugged me so tight as if he didn’t want to  let go, but neither did I.

Sadly, our great experience was over &n it was time to leave the tent. We went back to the house we would be staying at to watch the parade & talked about the whole experience. We watched the parade, & when his float went by we screamed & yelled like crazy, & he looked right at us & waved with a huge smile!

After the parade, we were determined to go find BooBoo for one last encounter with him before he went back to LA. Us girls ran to the school where all the floats were. We found his float, but no sign of BooBoo. Thankfully, we saw one of Krissy’s teachers, who told us he was at the library. No one was supposed to know, but she told us secretly! ;p We darted so fast across the town to the library (the town is so small, it would take 10 minutes to walk the whole ting.)

We waited out on this little bench as people were going in & out for restroom breaks. Cheyenne went up to the door were people were in there but it looked kind of secluded. A man told us there wasn’t anything going on, but we knew there was by the way he said it. We waited maybee 20 more minutes before working up the courage to knock on that door. We had a friend Xavier with us who we made do it. BooBoo’s manager came out & he was soooo sweet! He told us if  we stuck around we could quickly say a few things to him exclusively, but we had to be quick because they were pooped out & had to catch a flight back to LA at 3:00am.  & he told us since we were so dedicated he gave us extra autographs!!! About 5 minutes passed, & they came out. There was BooBoo, looking cute as ever smiling at us. We all went outside as he held the door open for everyone. We hugged him once more & each said a few things. He said he would miss us, & when I told him to come back he said he really wanted to.

He then got into the car, & we knew this day was done. We prayed & hoped to see him again one day. That was my story & experience of meeting BooBoo Stewart. I hope you enjoyed, & I hope one day you get the enjoyment of meeting such a sweet guy like him!

& P.S. When you meet celebs, we learned to always stick around after a meet&greet, great & fun things happen

Why I love Bella Thorne

Oh my, where should I even start? I love Bella Thorne for more than one reason. It’s safe to say she is definitely my favorite celebrity! hey, I just realized I spelled definitely right for the first ime, lol! Sorry, had to add that. Anyhow, if I had the choice to meet Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, ANYONE, Bella would be my first choice! I love her so much & never thought I could love a  celebrity like that. If you read my other blog, I talk about meeting her. My dream is that I do again, however it would be hard =/ I strongly believe in God & I have faith that if it is His will that I will meet her again. I have so many dreams of hanging with Bella, going to the movies & having sleepovers, & just do normal friendship stuff! Maybee one day =)

I love how she has soo much respect for God & that she looks up to Him. That is very important, especially when you are famous because you have so much on your plate you need somebody to guide you, & that somebody should be God.  Bella dedicates a lot of time on Twitter to talk to fans even though she has such a busy life. I pray for her each day for God to give her the strength & wisdom for her to do whatever she needs to.

I also thank God each day for bringing Steven Chavez into my life. He helped me with showing my video I made of MaKenzie talking about Bella. If it wasn’t for Steven, Bella wouldn’t of seen, & it’s all a thanks to God!

So, I really hope Bella reads this & knows that no matter what, I will ALWAYS be a Bellarina, & I will always be here for her. Christmas is coming, my one thing I would like that would make this Christmas absolutely magical this year would be if Bella called me. I’m not sure how to ask about it, but with God, all things are possible. As long as I have the Lord Jesus by my side, I know it can happen. & He knows how bad I want it, I talk to Him all day about it! Lol. Maybee me & her can atleast Skype! =D

& Bella, you you are reading this, follow me on Twitter @VeronikaLawrenc, & I promise I will be there. If you ever need to talk, DM me or call! You may not know it, but I’m your best friend<3 So so so so so much love, Veronika <3

Meeting Bella Thorne

August 28th, 2011.

I think I can honestly say it was the best day of my life! I found out that the amazing Bella would be coming to our mall by a friend’s post on Facebook. I went online to find out if it was true, & sure enough, it was! I think my heart dropped into my stomach, I have never felt such excitement in my entire life. Wow, BELLA THORNE coming to my little town in Michigan? No way! Way. The days & weeks (only like 2) seemed to go so slowly, each day thninking “It’s worth the wait Veronika”

I immediately called up one of my besties Cheyenne, & told her! My little sister was at her house, & they both thought I was lying. I told them to look it up, & then had to pull the phone away from my ear as they both shrieked like dying animals. They too were excited.  We made plans of what to wear, to have a sleepover that night & what we would say to Bella.  We made posters for her too!

Finally the night before arrived, & I couldn’t sleep. 1,000′s of thoughts ran through my head, & I wondered if she was in my town at that moment. I tried to daydream about it so I could eventually doze off. At last, morning arrived & I had church. Now, that was the hard part. Sitting through a service when you know that day you were meeting Bella Thorne! Don’t ask how I managed, but I did! (Thanks for keeping me sane, Lord!) I got home around 1:00 & the autographing started at 1:0 & went through 4:00. My dad was sleeping so I panicked I wouldn’t have a ride. I called up my sister Alesha & begged her to take us to the mall…she knew how bad we had to meet Bella! So on our way there, I kid you not, I almost peed my pants. I knew the minute we walked through those doors I was breathing Bella’s air!

We walked down as we saw a huge line formed. It moved a long pretty well. Before we stepped in line, we walked up to the stage she was at. Instantly, tears streamed down my face, & i couldn’t control them. There sat the gorgeous Bella, with the biggest smile on her face. She was singing autographs & all the fans were pumped. They were playing “Pretty Girl Rock”, & I thought that was the PERFECT song for her! We hurried back to the end & got in line, where we saw our friends from church in line right behind us! While waiting, I called my friend Breana like crying telling her what I was doing at the moment. She goes “the girl from Shake It Up?!? NO WAY! WHy didn’t you tell me?” hahah! As the wait of about 25-30 minutes passed, we were RIGHT next to the stage. (I noticed she had an orange gatorade, my sister almost asked for it) lol. She should of! Anyhow, we finally got up there were Bella sat. She was sooo pretty, even prettier in person! I looked right at her & said  ”I love you Bella” & she looked at me with her pretty brown eyes & said “Awwww!” She said she loved my shirt! I wish I had said more, I was just too starstruck. I got off & my 11 year old brother was blushing & said “She called me cute…” LOL! & my 13 year old little sis said she complimented her shirt, & pointed at her poster & said “aww!” We waited & watched her dance for her fans after autographs were done, & she danced with a handi-cap boy! More reasons she’s so sweet & terrific! They were escorting her off stage around the back so I ran back there. I once again told her I loved her whn she walked by & she ran over & HUGGED ME! I didn’t want to let go! She went into American Eagle & went out the back door. I felt so happy inside, but in the same token sad. All the wait & excitement was over, but I met her! I was so scared I would never meet her again. (Still praying that’s not true). We sat out by the movie theatre & I noticed Bella going out kind of towards the parking lot. We went over but security told us to go. I noticed people were still back there so we went back. She was taking pictures & talking to people. I got my iPod ready, & phone for pics. These two guys walked up & asked to dance for her. So they did, & they all did the dougie together! I recorded it:):):) Then, Bella told us she had to catch her flight back to LA. She blew us all kisses & started walking back…I cried cause I didn’t get a  picture. But this little girl about 3 or 4 said softly “I love you CeCe” Bella turned around & hugged her & kissed her on the head & took a pic with the little girl! So sweet! It was officially over, the day I waited for so long. I called my parents & told them iwe were ready to go home.

I got home & sure enough Shake It Up was on. I cried the whole time watching it, & all day because I really was so shooken about not getting a picture. I was scared all the memories would be lost so I wrote down every detail of the day in a notebook. I found out she had a Twitter & made one to try & stay connected with her. I then realized not to be sad. God gave me a great opportunity to meet her, & I did! I am thankful for that, & I have faith if it’s God’s will we WILL meet again! So that’s my story on meet Bella Thorne. I will have more blogs to come! Please stay tuned & keep reading! God Bless, XoXo, Veronika<3 143
