It’s a fair bit late, but Happy Easter everyone! Wow, so much has happened since last time I updated. Sorry for the lack of entries, I know I am busier these days with a full-time job and a full-time relationship, but I promise to try & be better at posting little entries here & there. Haha, I thought I’d at least have an update for each month but I completely missed March. Sorry March. What did everybody do for Easter?, I worked over it for the majority, but I had a few days off and spent that with both my partners family & my family. It was nice and quiet. The best way to have it, I think. There was a big day I had off, so we decided to go to the Easter show, it was brilliant! Not longer after Easter, we decided to go to the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012, that was obviously happening down in Sydney. It is a huge carnival, of shows, rides, showbags, food stands.. and one massive Ferris Wheel. About 40 metres in the sky.. it is amazing. Of course, the boyfriend and I went on a few rides together. The first time ever together. We went on the very tall Ferris Wheel, then we went on the ride called Breakdance, we also went on Mega Drop and a very insane ride called Space Roller… it’s a swivel of five sticks, with 5 seats on each stick, they spin around at a 360 degree loop in the air, 25 metres high in the sky, and turn, roll, go backwards, flip, and spin all at the same time. With the power of about 5.5 G of force behind the spin/flip. Pretty insane! It was so much fun!

A real adrenalin kicker. Unfortunately later in the evening, it started spitting rain before literally pouring down (of course it had to start when we were lined up for one of the rides), but we continued on our rides, then we decided to go to the show bag dome, where all the showbags were being sold. To be honest, I could not really find any good showbags… I looked around for the Coca Cola one, because they’re usually good, but to my dismay.. they weren’t good at all. Did not even have the drink cup, or flask, or anything like that. So I gave that one a miss, and went to the Cleo one instead. I purchased it, it had magazines, a photoshoot voucher with StarShots (can’t wait for that!), some other fun promotional vouchers, biscuits, a new Italian energy drink called Boca Lupo (I’ve still yet to try it), and the best item in the bag was the make-up roll-out hanging bag, it can be hung on a wall and all the make-up just sits inside waiting to be used. It’s easily accessible and will help un-clutter my current make-up carrying bag. It also came in a big Cleo tote bag, with a zipper.. going to be good to use for traveling now. Before all the food, the rides and showbags, we saw the animals. We watched a horse-jumping show for a while, checked out the cows, horses and dogs. It was great! All in all, I’m glad my partner and I went to the show. I loved it & so did he. The rain added a bit of excitement to it, in a way. But none the less, we were still happy to leave via the train stations, get home and out of our soaking wet clothes.

Work has been the same, nothing different, nothing better. I cannot wait for a new job. I have been looking left, right and centre. Wish me luck in finding something in a new industry! Making films is something that I would love to do. Or at least work a bit on them again, that was so much fun. Even if it’s advertising or anything else, that would be amazing. Oh let me tell you some exciting news.. I am getting a new car! I recently went to Newcastle to have a look, found the one I really want and now I can officially say I own it! I loved it as soon as I saw it. It’s a sedan again, blue again (actually a pretty similar colour to my current car), it’s got automatic mirrors, windows, remote central keyless locking, lights in the door trims when they’re opened, light and mirror behind sun blind in the passengers side, it’s an automatic transmission (which was one of the sole reasons for purchasing a new car, to swap from manual to auto), and it’s now mine! I cannot wait to put photo’s of it on here. I am going up the coast next weekend to pick it up! Can’t wait! I’ll definitely have photo’s of it to put on here when I have it home. I am then listing my other car for sale sadly, I really don’t want to sell it, lol. Too bad people can’t have two cars, huh. Though it takes up way too much space. Anyhow, I’ll have photo’s of that new car after the 28th April. It’s ANZAC DAY next Wednesday, you bet I’ll be at the dawn service and the breakfast with my man. Should be a great day, just like last year. I got the next day off too, yay! Can officially say I have been extremely exhausted lately. The stress of some things going on, then all the work stuff, then the car stuff, just need a break. Can’t wait for my big holiday this year.

In other news, there is a few films I would love to see. To name a few, they’re: Battleship, there is The Lucky One, To The Arctic and I’m so stoked that the new Glee season has started up airing, I love it. I have been watching it & loving it, can’t wait tonight’s episode! I don’t have a favourite character, but I do like Santana and Rachel. Artie is funny too. Who else likes to watch Glee? I have a few friends that love it, but not a lot of friends that know about it really. Which sucks. Glee is a great show, it offers such a variety of entertainment, messages and storylines. Just absolutely love the music sequences, got to love the way Blaine did the cover to Somebody That I Used To Know’ by Gotye. That is an awesome song! And Blaine nailed it! Another show I love is Hardcore Pawn: American Jewellery & Loan, that is a cool show. We are hooked. And the new Australian The Voice. Our Australian version is pretty awesome, some VERY talented individuals on there. Can’t wait to see tonight’s episode, to see who else is picked. Well I better be off, this was a really long posting.. I need to update much more, haha. I will review the films (that I mentioned earlier in the post), as I am going to see those all soon, so I will have the reviews. Ciao for now, take care everybody, hope you all had a great Easter & I got to mention, I loved what the folk at Coachella did for Tupac & Snoop on-stage, what an awesome way to do the concert with a hologram of Tupac! Thought that was unreal, can’t wait to see if they do it for my fave artist, MJ. Hope they do! Would love to see it. Love Jaz xXx.

Well as you all know by now, the world lost a singing icon just a week ago today. RIP Whitney Houston. I want to know something, and I felt the same way when my dear Michael Jackson passed… why do people really show their deep honest feelings of support & admiration more so, when a celebrity (who were at times, hated on by the media) passes away, rather than constantly & continually always showing it WHILE they’re still alive?!?!? It’s almost like they were afraid to show their real feelings while said celebrity was alive, due to what the media tried to showcase them as, or what other haters thought of it. Like, who cares what people think about what you like or what you don’t like. Our generation & the newcomers, grow to be so conscious of following the media. Or ‘liking’ something that is ‘cool’ because so many other people ‘like’ it. That is retarded. If you were a Whitney fan, or a Michael fan, and during their time of attempts to recreate their careers, if you shy’d away of your admiration for them during that period alone, BECAUSE of their slight possible unsuccessfulness of said ‘recreation of career’, then you don’t deserve to be mourning them now. That’s how I feel. If you are just doing it now because everybody else is, then you’re stupid. To those who really were their biggest fans back when they launched, during their success, but still showed their admiration through the tough times with their admired celebrity, Michael, Whitney or anybody else, then CREDIT to you, because you didn’t shy away from it JUST because everybody wasn’t into it.

Honestly, can you see what I mean? In today’s society of digital media, and vanity… it seems as though we need to ‘like’ what other people like, as if there is a pressure on those who don’t just ‘like’ what they really do like & are then therefore, afraid to show it. Haters will always be haters, but while they’re doing their hating, they’re wasting precious time that could be better spent praising something instead. Each of us only gets so much time on the planet, use the time wisely and tell all your loved ones how much you love them, don’t wait to do it, do it now. I don’t feel like in this day & age that we do it enough. These days everything is about popular culture, dance party culture, each for our own type culture, even in the music industry, that is what it seems to be about now. Which is a shame. The 2000′s music produced has been majorly about sex, dancing, partying, drinking, getting F’d up, drugs, fun, well gee that’s classy new generation, really classy, notice my sarcasm? Just know, that back in the 80′s, early 90′s, pop music & R&B music, and every other sort too, was heavily about one thing, LOVE. But REAL LOVE. About goodness, spirit, relative music. You know, the kind that paved the industry in the right direction, the one that showed real talent, etc. And unfortunately, it never seems to be much about that anymore. It all went. I want it to come back. And it makes it worse that we’re losing all the icon’s that helped create the BEST music. Music that lives on forever. I’m terribly sorry, but the likes of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Kesha, and artists like that make me want to vomit. I’m sick of pretending that they’re good. They’re not. They really aren’t!!! Maybe the way the music generation headed might suggest they’re good, BUT THEY AREN’T. They suck in comparison to artists that launched in the late 80′s and early 90′s, mid 90′s too, that made music for the original reasons. To be moved. To love. To feel good. Now, it’s about crap. Drinking, partying, etc… who cares about that stuff so much. We have dance music for that, techno, and eletronica. We don’t need techno and electronica in R&B music, or pop music ANYMORE! Give me Boys II Men, Michael Jackson, Mariah, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Madonna, Tupac, Ginuwine, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Brandy, Monica, TLC, Mary J Blige, Shakira, Shania Twain, Gloria Estefan, Bette Midler, etc anyday! You can have your Chris Brown’s, Nicki Minaj’s, Lil Wayne’s, Justin Bieber’s back! I blame the finance too, artists are paid a lot more these days than they ever were… so the appreciation for the actual music IS NOT THERE anymore. Dave Grohl said it at the Grammy’s, the best way, music is not from the heart anymore, it’s too electric now.

Anyone that grew up in the late 80′s, early 90′s will know exactly what I am talking about. I guess I get sick of seeing my generation hide what they really like just because the new generation don’t seem to like it, like what we had as music when we grew up. They’re really missing out, it was the best back then. To young people, please discover the late 80′s and early 90′s music, it seriously was some of the best you’ll come to know. Honest.

Please stop missing out on the best music due to the way media is now & stupid popular culture! Discover the older music, you’ll find it was the best.

Happy New Year to everybody! I hope everyone had a safe, fun and happy New Year’s. I’m going to say straight off the bat, I love even numbers. So I find it awesome that it is 2012. We all say that time flies by but it really does. Every year we get older & it seems every year goes a tad faster than the one before. I’ll tell ya, I don’t like it one bit. I want time to slow down. My boyfriend and I went to Sydney for NYE, it was amazing! I love Sydney, especially at NYE, it has the biggest party. And not to mention the fireworks! They’re the most beautiful in the world, I think. Particularly the champagne waterfall one they do. I haven’t been to the cinema in a long time, funnily enough. You all know me, I always go to the theatre and see any new film that is out, but lately I haven’t had the time really. Let’s not forget to mention that I began a new contract with work so I am constantly working, with little to few days off a week. I also am saddened to say there has not been any intriguing films to really go and see. The only ones I want to see is Happy Feet Two and probably Sherlock Holmes, actually the boyfriend also really wants to see Sherlock Holmes. I have not yet seen Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1, I will most likely see it soon though.

Thanks: Shannon

What a month November was! It was seriously insane. After it all, I am just so glad it’s over now. So many thing’s are different, I even work at a new store now. I am loving it. In fact, this year is going so fast. We’ve been so busy, it’ll be nice to chill & relax. I am currently listening to Bruno Mars, the song by him called ‘It Will Rain’… I absolutely adore that song! I am a huge fan of Bruno’s music, he is my most favourite new artist. Amongst Adele as well, she is purely brilliant. I am actually only now noticing that I haven’t updated for over two months, it’s pretty bad! I needed and wanted to update much, much more! I am going to do my best at trying to remember my little WordPress login here so that I can put more entries up, more often. I even have this WordPress page bookmarked, so let’s hope it works. I know it’s kind of pathetic to have a paid space on here & not use it to my best ability. I really need to change that.

Let me talk about the latest films I have managed to see… I recently saw Warrior finally, it was completely awesome! I loved it! I think Joel Edgerton did such an amazing job in it too. He is an Australian actor, whose very good at his job. I really look forward to any other work he does in his career, it has started off pretty damn awesomely. ‘Warrior’ is really a boxing film but not just a typical one, this one has such a emotional storyline to it. I recommend watching it if you get a chance to. I’m not sure why it didn’t do too well at the Box Office, ah well. Some thing’s are just mysteries. I also saw Puss In Boots, it was a cute, funny film. It was what was to be expected, it was funny. But I guess we all felt like the storyline didn’t really go anywhere, it was still funny and cute to watch. I was in Sydney on the weekend with my boyfriend and we were with my Dad at home watching Home Alone 3, and we were all cackling & laughing. But it’s true what my Dad said, the later films of that series are no where near as good as the Macauly Culkin ones. Gosh, I miss those kind of family films. They’re sort of still made these days but they’re rare to find.

So we saw Eminem last Friday night in concert, he was AMAZING. He was really quite good, he definitely has that performance quality down pat. Another artist was there too to support Eminem, that was Lil Wayne, he was ok… couldn’t really understand what he was saying in his songs other than the songs of his I had already heard & knew. Still think it’s funny that Nicki Minaj said that Lil Wayne is the best rapper in the world. My boyfriend and I laughed. Clearly, we disagree. What do you all think? And what do you think of today’s new music? Oh, I have a new crave… it’s these chocolate bars called Boost, have you all tried those? Awww, they’re SO good! When I’m at work on a break, I just have to get one, either a single or twin pack… they’re delicious! It’s really the only chocolate I eat, so I guess it’s not bad at all. Go me! Well, I had better get going. I just got to say, while I was in Sydney a while back, I bought a massive canvas print photo of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.. well it’s now hanging up in my room! Thanks to my man for helping me put it up! And it looks amazing! I’ll post a photo..

I’m off now guys, I hope everybody has been well. I had been sick earlier in November but am all better now. Hope to start updating here more often, I have time to, I don’t know why I keep forgetting. Upon updating on Twitter and Facebook, feeling like posting a big worthy blog on here gets the better of me and then therefore makes me lazy by not doing it, sorry. I want to post more often, I just should! Let’s see how it goes.. take care everyone. Happy Holidays and hope December is kind to you. xXx.
