MOVIES, MOVIES
Lately, I have been feeling like watching lots & lots of movies. It's probably got a lot to do with the weather here lately, as it's been nothing much but cold, windy & rainy. The dams & lakes around my city are almost back to 100% full. It's really amazing considering we now just coming out of the 12 year drought we've been stuck in! Back to the movies, I guess it's also because there is a lot of new films coming out at the moment, or are about to be released. The latest I saw was Dinner For Schmucks, it was hilarious! I love the comedy of Paul Rudd & Steve Carrell. Basically anything with Steve Carrell in it, is funny as! I want to see a lot of the films that are out now including; Salt, The Expendables, Step Up 3 3D, The Other Guys and Despicable Me. There are a few others coming out soon that I wouldn't mind seeing either.
Into other news; it's my birthday very soon! On the 30th, next Monday. So... this weekend on the Saturday the 28th, I'll be going out! I plan to have dinner, go to the movies and then out partying with all my friend's. I was going to organise a big birthday party at the pub but I won't be doing that now, there isn't enough time to get it all sorted really. And I was um'ing & arghing about it for a while. Just wasn't sure whether the party would be a good idea, it would have been more expensive too, especially to have it at the pub/hotel. Still, it would be nice to have that sometime for a birthday. Maybe my next one and it will be dress-up themed. I absolutely love themed parties where everyone has to dress up as something, they're the most fun! Anyway, either way, my birthday should be fun & I want to spend the time with my family & special friend's. I think that's the best way to have spent a birthday. In other news, my car is going pretty well. I finished putting new seat-covers on it last week. They're black with blue hibiscus flowers on them, they're pretty... I cannot wait to take a photo of them & the car to add up on here, alas, I am still waiting for a nice sunny day to be able to do that. The rain and clouds just keep on rolling on. Which is also good, because we needed it to get out of the drought we're in, and the farmer's outside of the city needed it for their stock & growth.
During the weekend, I went to see my cousin in the play RENT! It was amazing! All the people involved in putting it together did such a great job! Everyone is so talented and good at what they do. I'm really proud of cousin too, she did so well! I had always heard of the story of RENT, but when I watched it over the weekend, it was AMAZING! The entire storyline, it has so much more depth to it than first thought.. the struggles of youth and those suffering AIDS. It really touched everyone in that room, it was brilliant! You know what is more touching, the creator of that particular play that my cousin was a part of, her own older brother had passed away from AIDS & had been dedicated to him. I felt that was just so special. What a tremendous way to spend the weekend. Then that night on Saturday I went out to the pub with my friends, we danced all night and listened to some awesome tunes. Chatted and caught up with heaps of people.. its always fun! Got to start saving money again though, especially to spend it on my new car, lol.
Holidays; oh how I'd love to take another holiday sometime soon. I don't know where I would go, probably to the city of Sydney... miss that place. I haven't been for a while, there is always so much to do there when I go there. And I have family there to see too. I enjoy it, every time I go there! I have been clocking up a lot of hours owed in annual leave, so the more I do and keep going with it, the better amount of time I will have when I am ready to actually take up & use the holiday time. Whoo! Oh, going onto some blog site news; I have started updating parts of this new theme, I just edited and fixed the banner up. Thanks Gwen for pointing that out to me!
And I am planning on editing the sidebar column, fixing up a few more things (I added in a new photo of myself in the 'About Me' section to the top right hand-side of the sidebar. I also want to be updating new journal entries more often and frequently. After all, I look at it this way, I am paying for this space on the web, so I may as well use it up. I'm going to go now and finish watching Dinner For Schmucks, so far it is so funny! Take care everyone and until next time.. I will make an update next week about my birthday, with photo's included too hopefully! Love Jaz xXx. 

WINTER IS HERE
My comment system is working now. I just had to upgrade the version, I've done that now so it should be working pretty good again. =)
Wow. A lot of thing's have changed since I last updated on here. Where do I start? Well, it's officially winter here, now. I have just gotten my own first case of the cold/flu and as of two days ago, started feeling a bit better and have begun getting over it now. Finally. I know we all dislike it, but I hate being sick! I cannot afford it, I have to work and do everything else that is required of me, to live, lol. I hope everyone else has been able to stay clear of the illnesses. I would say this weather is the perfect weather to watch more film's and do thing's like that. Sad fact, I haven't even been to the cinema since March, and that was to see The Wolfman in Sydney while I was away on holiday's. However, lately I have been feeling like going to the movies again soon and now Sex and the City 2: Carried Away is out, I cannot wait to see it! You bet I have been hanging out for it! I also want to see A Team, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Street Dance 3D and The Karate Kid when it comes out to Australia soon. I like Jackie Chan, especially in his comedic roles, so it should be fun! I went on a little road-trip today, it was fun, my friend & I went shopping. I got a new dvd, the blu-ray version of The Hangover: Extended Uncut. I love that film, it's hilarious, the tiger in the bathroom is so random & the quote's from the film would stay with us forever.. especially the man-purse being a satchel that even Indiana Jones has, lol. I've been really into music now too. Been listening to just about anything & everything. All the top 40 stuff that comes out, and spent a lot of time recently finding remixes to some of my favourite song's. A lot of them are dance-type tunes and lots of R&B, stuff that is fun to dance to.
Oh and in other news, I just installed all the updates for the new version of wordpress, upgraded and all ready to go now. I also renewed my domain here, I am interested in writing more entries here and blogging more often again.. I miss it, infact. And when I start getting to more of the personal stuff that's going on in my life at the moment, it makes me more inspired to blog. I may even start doing private entries and writing all about it that way. Haha, I had always thought about doing that but never got to actually setting it up, maybe this time I will. I hope I do because it would be nice to feel security when I am writing very personal journal entries here.. that I need to vent about and get off my chest. Well I am about to say it, I am single. Yep. That is my relationship status at the moment, not with my bf anymore, over the past two month's, a lot has changed.. officially. I guess we both kind of knew it was coming in the past few month's but never grasped it and did something about it, now it feel's too late and what's done is done and what's happened has happened. It was mutual, we both felt like our relationship had died down a lot, there was close to none communication anymore, we began doing a lot of thing's on our own and separately. It's sad, it is. If we both could have changed the way thing's had gone, we probably would want to go back and do that. Change the way thing's went, the direction it took, and try to mend all the broken link's. But it's the past, and you can't. Neither of us had cheated on each other (if you were thinking that), it's not that in which I'm meaning when I say we both wish we could have changed thing's about the past and the way stuff went. I actually mean the direction thing's went, the way we took thing's and solved them, or the lack of solving. The beginning of our relationship was so different to the most recent aspect's of it. Is that always the way for everyone, in their relationship's too? I thought it would be. It's strange, isn't it? Sometimes you just drift apart and lose yourselves, get caught up in your own hobbies, discontinue the effort to compromise on thing's that should probably be compromised on, and start doing with less thinking, because we get lazier and cannot be bothered anymore. Feels like the effort was gone, the spark was gone, the ability to enjoy each other's company faded away, it's very sad. We are still friend's, we still see each other every now and then, we do have the same mutual friend's, and we're keeping it that way. I'm glad we're both being very civil about it, it's helped both of us be able to move on. I guess, the only thing I can say now is that, you never know what the future hold's, and whilst not letting your past be your future, but allowing your destiny to be grown from your past, and not forgetting the memories that were made from it. That's what is important. It really is.
So. Yeah. Life is different now. I mean, doing something for 3.5yrs, then doing something that's so different, is a bit of an adjustment. I'm taking it all in my strides. I have started becoming readjusted to single life. It's not been easy either, really. At times I feel like holding back and not allowing anything to grow or move on, but I have to let it happen and see where it takes me. After all, I guess that's what life is all about. I don't want sympathy, just good listener's and real friend's. Onto one of my favourite topics; shopping!!, I have been doing a fair bit of that lately with my friend's, haha. At the moment I have about two lot's of clothes worth about $300 each, all up, on lay-away. As right now I am trying to find a car to buy so I have to be a little smarter with my money & finance's. Car looking, is it meant to be fun? Is it? Because for me, it isn't, no no no, not one bit. Everything I see that light's up my face, someone is there criticising it already & pointing out all the bad thing's about it, so I figure maybe looking at them on my own with a mechanic is the best thing I should do. And I've spent a lot of time looking too, it has not been a fast process, not at all. I guess as it is serious to me, I have been a little more picky & thoughtful about it this time. I don't want to settle for second best, if I see it and I like it, I would want to get it. But I tell ya, every tom, dick & harry has had to find it in their right to put their two cent's in on what I should or shouldn't get, it's become really annoying. I guess they're only helping, but if it's by me, for me, from me, then shouldn't 'I' like it? I'll have to continue looking and keep you guy's updated on how it all goes.
This is a pretty long blog & even a bit personal, which I don't normally do, but I felt like venting this time. I need to get more into the swing of thing's, and update often again. I miss it, as I said before. I best be off now, got a few thing's to do around the house. I have not even watched tv for the past month, or gone on Twitter much. Facebook is the only thing that I have been occupying my home-time with, the rest of the time I have not even been home. Thank god for good friend's, and company. I've been going out every few weekend's, going on road-trip's, shopping and keeping busy with work.
I hope everyone has a good week ahead and enjoys the weekend too! I will blog again soon, with photo's of all the new clothes I bought. Because within a week I should have them all out. Love Jaz xxx 

LOVE MUSIC
I have more video's to post up in this entry. I just got to say, John Mayer & Orianthi were absolutely fantastic! Honestly. Very few times you can witness such pure talent before your very eyes, and seeing those two before mentioned artist's was one of those moment's to witness talent at it's best. I had such a great time! I did not want it to end at all, just kept replaying the concert in my head over & over. My friend & I had pretty cool seat's too, right up to the side of the stage. The best thing was that the stage was so wide that it was clear to see everything, they had a lot of room to move around in & being at the side, we saw everything. John had his three huge persian rug's laid down over the front of the stage for him to play, the only other thing's touching it were his bandmates, the guitar's amp cord's & John's feet. Orianthi, WOW. No wonder Carlos Santana & Stevie Ray Vaughan swear by her, she is nothing short of AMAZING. She played her hit 'According to You' and did a cover of my fave artist' Michael Jackson's song from long ago... Give In To Me, it was just beautiful & I added it up into a clip to show you guy's...
Just amazing, amazing stuff. I am so glad I went to finally see John Mayer this year & with Orianthi there as his support was just the icing on the cake. I have another awesome video, there is actually a lot of both of them but I'll put the best ones up on here. I am finally editing this entry and including in the cool video of John Mayer & David Ryan Harris doing a very awesome rendition of Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, (which is one of my all-time favourite song's that JM has done), so it was a very beautiful moment when they started doing this song. And here is the video to it...
Enjoyed that? I bet you did! I LOVE John Mayer & his music. I have always admired & liked jazz, blues & root's music. I just feel it, the honesty in the lyric's, the relevance that every song's story has to somebody... it's what music should always be about. And I have always felt that John Mayer has put that in his music. He is so very creative & talented. I'm glad he performed at Michael Jackson's public funeral because he is one of the best artist's out there & despite his left-of-middle personality & some odd thing's he say's on his old Twitter, he mean's well & his talent is outstanding. I would see him again in concert, within a heartbeat! I have a few more video's to post up but I will do that in my next entry. Infact, a lot of thing's have currently changed in my life so I have a lot to update about & I want to do that soon. I hope everyone enjoyed watching these two video's, be sure to see the next few in my next entry. Take care, and have a good few days for the upcoming week. Love you all.

NEW JACKET & A VIDEO
As promised, here is a video I did of Pitbull on stage at the recent music festival in Sydney called Supafest...
He dances a lot huh?!? I liiiiike it! I have always liked his music, when I knew he was going to be at the concert in Sydney, I knew I had to go. I plan on adding up another video in the next entry of Jay Sean & maybe one of Akon too. I also have a fair few from Sean Paul too, so I'll see how I go. I'm about to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street.. I'll most likely compare it to the original, I always do that with remakes, you sort of can't help but do those thing's. Haha. I hope it's pretty good. I saw Iron Man 2 last night, I enjoyed it but I found it a bit hard to concentrate on it, I guess it helped that I was really tired and it was pretty late at night for me to be watching a movie. Ooh, in other news, I was shopping the other day with my friend Kylie, and I saw this beautiful jacket that I liked for a while. I finally figured it'll be great to start preparing for Winter so I got it! I took a photo of it too to post up on here & show you guy's. It's a black & white checkered pattern detective coat, I love that style of coat. Here it is..

See what I mean? I love it to bit's! Anyhow, I just wanted to make a short update with that photo and the video. I have other exciting news for you guys but I will put that in the next entry. Well, let's just say last weekend was AMAZING because I got to see John Mayer and Orianthi LIVE in concert!!!!! I had a ball!!! I love them both! I had always wanted to see John Mayer in concert, and I HAVE now and it was AMAZING! I'll update about all of that in the next entry with photo's included, AND, photo's I took at the beach too. You'll love them! Till then, take care everybody, have a good week ahead. Love Jaz xXx.
