VidCon!!!!!

HECK YEAH, IT’S MONDAY! Hahaha. We hope you’re having a good day and that you enjoyed your weekend. We decided to talk about a little something called VidCon.

  
To anyone who doesn’t know what VidCon is, here’s the official site’s explanation:

“VidCon is for people who love online video. Independent creators, enablers, viewers and supporters of all kinds. The ways that we entertain, educate, share, and communicate are being revolutionized. The creators attending and on-stage at VidCon are central to that revolution. The best part is, we’re having the time of our lives doing it.”

So, yeah. It happened this weekend! We love YouTubers and we're so sad because we couldn't go. Every single YouTube star attended and we didn't! THE FEELS.

 YouTubers from all around the world was at VidCon meeting and greeting their beloved viewers and doing a lot of more stuff. VidCon was held at the Anaheim Convention Center. There were Community Panels and Industry Panels moderated and conformed by YouTubers and/or experts in different areas, like CEOs of famous companies. There were also Q&A sessions with different kinds of YouTubers.
  
Tons of viewers got to meet their favorite YouTubers at the signings. There were two types:  the traditional ones, where the well-known person is seated behind a table and no photos are allowed in order to speed up the process, and photo signings, where you could meet & greet them and a professional photographer would take your pic.  The Brits Zoe Sugg (Zoella), Joe Sugg (ThatcherJoe,) Alfie Deyes (PointlessBlog), Louise Watson (SprinkleofGlitter), Caspar Lee (Caspar) [he’s south african, so we don’t know why we’re putting him here hahahaha. He lives in London though], Marcus Buttler (MarcusButlerTv), Jim Chapman (j1myb0bba), Tanya Burr (pixi2woo), Jack & Finn Harries (JacksGap), Niomi Smart (niomismart), Louis Cole (FunForLouis) and Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike) were part of the meet and greets. Other YouTubers also attended, like Troye Sivan (TroyeSivan18), Tyler Oakley (TylerOakley), Connor Franta (ConnorFranta), Bethany Mota (Mcbarbie07), Colleen Ballinger - Miranda Sings (mirandasings08), Alex G & Tiffany Alvord (AlexGMusic7 & Tiffany Alvord), The Fine Brothers (TheFineBros), Sandi (CutePolish), GloZell Simon - GloZell Green (glozell1), Joey Graceffa (JoeyGraceffa), Kingsley (ItsKingsleyBitch), Meghan Rienks (meghanrossette), Justine & Jenna Ezarik (iJustine & itsmejennae), John & Hank Green (vlogbrothers), Teala Dunn (Tealaxx2), Chris & Crawford Collins (Weeklychris & CrawfordCollins), Madilyn Bailey (MadilynBailey) and MANY MOOOOOORE!
  
VidCon also had Movie Nights. There were three different screenings for all the attendants, where they also could interact with YouTubers. They screened a surprise movie, Earth to Echo and The Fault in Our Stars.
  
Besides involving movies, VidCon had Festival Concerts, including the Kickoff Concert and the AwesomenessTV Concert, where people could listen to Cimorelli and Madilyn Bailey, among many others.
  
Sounds amazing, uh!? Well, it was. Hopefully, *fingers crossed*, we’ll be able to go someday and meet our faves! Because, let’s be honest, YouTubers really know how to brighten your day.


That’s it for today. Go and check out those amazing YouTubers! (You just need to click on their channel name and you’ll be redirected there!) Let us know what you think and who’s your favorite in the comments!

Peace out, x.

MEXICO SLAYS, MOTHAFLUFERS!

So, Sports Sunday has arrived again, you guys.
  
And we’re kinda sad and mad at the same time. Mexico just lost against Netherlands during the World Cup.  And we thought it was total mess. First of all, that referee was unbelievably blind and unfair. Like, Robben didn’t even deserve that shoot.
  
Everything was great for the Mexican team during the game’s first half, they didn’t score any goals, but they were playing amazingly good. At minute 48, Mexico scored their first goal. In the last 45 minutes (and more) of the match, tables turned against Mexico. Netherlands took advantage of Mexico’s mistakes and scored! The regulatory 90+ minutes were about to end with a draw and, as we mention before, the referee marked a penalty against Mexico. They scored it and, well, the rest is history...
  
In fact, there was a penalty in Netherlands’ favor that the referee didn’t notice. But Robben’s was not fair, clearly. He even admitted that it wasn’t true ‘cause he faked it and apologized. FIFA needs to do something about it! Fair play, uh? Excuse us, this is everything but fair.
  
Besides, we feel like Mexican team was not quite accepted in the World Cup. In all the matches, referees never seemed to be in Mexico’s favor. For example, in Mexico vs Cameroon two goals were annulled. LIKE, EXCUSE GIOVANI DOS SANTOS FOR SCORING TWO GOALS!!!
  
We’re in the 21st century, there’s a HUGE technological development nowadays and you’re telling us that FIFA doesn’t use it AT ALL!?!!!! It’s true though. They kind of use it, but when it’s needed, they refuse to do it. THEN, WHY THE HECK DO YOU HAVE TECHNOLOGY, FIFA PEOPLE?! USE IT!
  
So, yeah. After our little rant, we want to congratulate Mexico’s team. They gave us four intense games throughout the World Cup, made us cry and celebrate each goal! People all around the world were cheering for them and acknowledge how good they are! Just like singer/rapper Becky G said in a tweet “Mexico, pick your heads up. We played a hell of a World Cup”. Hands down to Guillermo Ochoa, goalkeeper, you’re definitely the man of this match and every other that you played. You’re truly one to always remember. And to the other players, keep your heads and chins up because the best is yet to come! Talented guys over here. We wish you all the best, guys, we know you can make it.
  
And, due to our looooooong rant post, this is gonna be the end of this Sports Sunday. We’re way too angry to keep writing… All because of that stupid referee :(

 We’ll see you tomorrow with a Heck Yeah, It’s Monday! post. Love ya and have a nice day!

Peace out, x.

Hilary Duff's new music, 5 Seconds of Summer, Niall Horan's knee & Justin's car accident

Scoop Saturday has arrived to you, ladies and gentlemen!
  
If you’re old enough, you’ll remember Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire. We do, we’re old. But just this week she teased new music. Yes, Hilary Duff is releasing new music soon and she took to Twitter to share a pic and snippet of a song. The picture showed her working at the studio and Toby Gad is the responsible of the song’s snippet. In case you don’t know who Toby is, he’s a producer and songwriter, who has written and co-produced John Legend’s “All Of Me”, Selena Gomez’s “A Year Without Rain” and Demi Lovato’s “Skyscraper”. Can’t wait to listen Duff’s music, album will be released later this year. AND IT HAS A FREAKING COLLAB WITH ED SHEERAN! Definitely, can’t wait.


Also this week’s news: 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER RELEASED THEIR FIRST STUDIO ALBUM YESTERDAY! LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! It was just released in some countries, though. Australia, Austria, Italy, Germany, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland are within the list of countries where people can already buy 5SOS album. If you’re from France, Malaysia, Spain, Portugal, Israel or UK, you’ll have to wait until this Monday. If you’re Japanese, the album comes out there on July 16th. And, sadly, if you’re from the US, Canada or Mexico, you’re gonna need it to be July 22nd, ‘cause that’s the release date in these 3 countries.


In some sad news, dozens of people were hospitalized during Avicii’s concert. Thirty-six people were taken to the hospital during the concert held at Boston on Wednesday, because of drugs and alcohol. Also, 50 more guys were attended at the medical center at the show. What a night!


During this week, One Direction performed in Amsterdam as part of their Where We Are stadium tour. It was amazing as usual, let's be honest here, these guys never seem to disappoint on stage. Everyone was having fun until a shoe hit Niall on the knee. If you didn't know, he had a knee surgery 5 months ago. It didn't stop him from touring the world, but it did hurt him A LOT that night. Pain was written all over his face, but it didn't stop him from giving a good concert. Niall couldn't walk properly and his great mates, Harry, Louis, Zayn & Liam, helped him. This proved us how much they care for each other! Later that night, Niall asked fans (via Twitter) to be more careful about the stuff they throw to the stage 'cause he was really worried and scared about his knee. Niall Horan is a warrior, there's no doubt. We hope fans are more careful, so everyone can enjoy their concerts and have a really good time!


Justin Bieber was involved in a car accident on Tuesday. It was a collision between his black Cadillac Escalade and a BMW in LA. Justin’s Escalade was being chased by a paparazzi, and they crashed with the BMW, which was pulling out of a parking garage. We still don’t now if the one driving was Justin, a friend or a chauffeur. Poor Justin, it seems like everything happens to him.


Well, that’s it for this Scoop Saturday. Let us know what you think in the comments down below.

See ya later, alligators!

Peace out, x.

IT'S PIZZA TIME!

Food Friday is here, people! And today's hot topic is gonna be: PIZZA.

So, first things first, pizza is the realest. No kidding, Iggy Azalea agrees, she’s even going to change “Fancy” lyrics. HAHAHA. But seriously, pizza is pure perfection. We'd marry pizza if it was possible, but it’s not. We love eating pizza, especially when we're with our friends.

  
Another amazing fact about pizza is that you can eat it whenever you want. It can be breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, midnight snack or else and pizza still will be your winning option.
  
The cool thing about it is that you can put whatever you want on it. Cheese, ham, pepperoni, meat, vegetables, fruit, even candy!!!!!! So, you'll definitely enjoy it. Warranted. We heard about a pizza with strawberries, raspberries and cream cheese and we definitely wanna try it.
  
We'd never had a bad pizza experience, luckily. But to be honest, you can't go wrong with pizza. It is good for the heart (and tummy!), especially when you want to have a night in with your friends or special someone. Because, pizza is really good, but pizza with friends it's even better!
  
What’s your favorite pizza topping? Comment down below, we’d love to know about it!
  

That was it for today’s post, we hope you like it! Now, go out and have some pizza!!!! Or order some and spend this friday at home. Whatever you decide to do it’s great.
  
We’ll see (read lol) you tomorrow!

Love, x.

Gee & Oddie's German Guide

Hello! It's Travel Thursday today!

We studied German in high school for about year and a half and we thought we could teach y'all a little bit of it, you know, in case you decide to go to Germany. And, just for the record, we DID learn a lot of things, but mainly things regarding school, animals and colors. Hahahaha. So bear with us. We guess you should read this in case you decide to go to Germany to talk about school, animals and colors. Who knows? It could be really useful (yeah, right). But, this is gonna be fun.


First we got the animals, we learned a bunch of animals in German. Our favorite animal in German is Papagei, which means parrot. And if you say der Papagei ist bun, it means the parrot is colorful. Yay! Obviously, you really needed to learn that. Also, you never know when you're gonna need a pen, so we will teach you how to say that. It is Kugelschreiber, mostly known -and easier to remember-as Kuli. There you have it, now you know one more word in German.

If you go to Germany, you probably won't need to write in German, but remember this: all nouns start with capital letter. ALL OF THEM. Just a little tip for you, (even if you're only gonna speak and not write in German).

Something that’s always helpful, especially when it comes to hotel rooms, phone numbers and saying the time…THE DIGIT NUMBERS.

One - eins           Six - sechs
Two - zwei           Seven - sieben
Three - drei          Eight - acht
Four - vier            Nine -  neun
Five - fünf             Ten - zehn

The days of the week are:
  • Monday - Montag 
  • Tuesday - Dienstag 
  • Wednesday - Mittwoch 
  • Thursday - Donnerstag
  • Friday - Freitag
  • Saturday - Samstag
  • Sunday - Sonntag

Color are also important!
Bue - blau                        Pink -  rosa
Red - rot                          Orange - orange
Yellow - gelb                    Brown - braun
Green - grün                     Purple - lila                     
White - weiß                    Gray - grau
Black - schwarz             

We also learned how to say a lot of countries in German:
  • Germany - Deutschland
  • USA - USA (die Vereignite Staaten)
  • Australia - Australien
  • Mexico - Mexiko
  • Belgium - Belgien
  • Canada - Kanada
  • Denmark - Dänemark
  • UK - das Vereignite Königreich
  • Japan - Japan
  • Spain - Spanien
  • Austria - Österreich
  • France - Frankreich
  • Norway - Norwegen
  • Switzerland - die Schweiz
  • India - Indien
  • Argentina - Argentinien
  • China - China
  • Ireland - Irland
  • Poland - Polen
  • Italy - Italien
  • Portugal - Portuga
  • Russia - Russland
  • Brazil - Brasilien

Congrats! Now you can say which country you come from.

And now, let’s get to the stuff you want to learn in case you go to Germany:

Hello - Hallo
Goodbye - Auf Wiedersehen
Bye - Tschüss
Good morning - Guten Morgen (until 10AM)
Good afternoon - Guten Tag (from 10AM to 6PM)
Good evening - Guten Abend (from 6PM to 10PM)
Goodnight - Gute Nacht (from 10PM)
Thanks - Danke
Please - Bitte
No - Nein
Yes - Ja
When? - Wann?
Why? - Warum?
Hi, my name is ________ - Hallo, mein Name ist ______
I come from ________ - Ich komme aus _______
What’s that? - Was ist das?
Where’s that? - Wo ist das?
Who’s that? - Wer ist das?
I love you - Ich liebe dich (‘Cause it’s always helpful to know how to say I love you)
I hate you - Ich hasse dich ('Cause you never know when you're gonna need this phrase)

Some important words for traveling are:
morning - der Morgen             breakfast - die Frühstück
day - der Tag                         supermarket - der Supermarkt
evening - der Abend               map - die Landkarte
night - die Nacht                    taxi  - das Taxi
today - heute                         bus - der Bus
