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.

I saw Inception the other week, it was hectic! I love puzzle films, ones you have to concentrate on very hard & figure out. They're the type that if you don't follow it from start to finish, you don't really 'get it'. I love those kind! I think Leonardo was incredible in it too, he is such a good actor. All the time, in all his film's, he gives his best. I am actually about to head out so I'll finish writing this update later tomorrow, I am glad I got to get on here and update at least a little bit. Even if it has been a small update. I hope everyone is doing well, it's still Winter here. It's been so cold, wet, rainy, windy & freezing here lately, for the past two months it's been like that. Just a week ago, we had snow! It didn't really settle on the ground though because it had been raining before hand and so the snow melted with the water as it fell. Maybe it'll snow again soon & settle, with any hope. I'd love to go out & take some photo's of it, if it does.

Take care everyone, I want to update a lot more & more often. I may as well use the hosting space I paid so much for. So I am going to have to start using it up to the max! Have a good week everyone, until next time. Love Jaz xXx.

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

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. Jaz xxx

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.

So as you can see from all those photo's above, it was one HUGE line-up. I got to see all of that in the space of 6hrs, and had a pretty awesome seat too! I was in the second elevated seated section from the stage, and in about 5th row! It was brilliant! I couldn't have really wanted anything better. And just after two days from Supafest, I had the Kelly Clarkson concert to go to. It was her 'All I Ever Wanted' tour. Let me tell you guys, she is so real. As realistic as a celebrity gets, she is so down to earth. Constantly spoke to the audience & sang as many song's as she could in her set. Kelly also did a really cool medley of her past song's off her 'Breakaway' album too, it was spectacular. Infact, I will add some video clip's that I got from both concert's and put them into the next blog entry here. Anyhow, here is a photo from her concert...

That's all for now, I will add another entry with video in it from both of the concert's. I'll include a clip of Pitbull dancing, because he can really dance! I hope everybody has enjoyed their week's despite work & the usual daily grind's. Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend! Love Jaz xXx.

During the days between the concert's, my friend and I went to a place called Manly, it's a beachy little area of Sydney. There, we went shopping and also went to a aquarium called OceanWorld... there is plenty of photo's that I took, I need to add them up... including to my FlickR. I want to get back into the swing of things; of blogging entries more often, including more photo's into the updates, writing more relevant thing's and ofcourse finding better thing's to talk about. I mention a lot of film's, music and traveling because that mainly makes up most of my day's at the moment. Oh, that and work, lol. I'm just about to go and watch Hot Tub Machine, it looks pretty funny and it has John Cusack in it! He is awesome. I saw Date Night today, it was FUNNY AS! I always enjoy the comedy of Steve Carrell, and Tina Fey just adds the extra oomph... actually together, both those comedian's work well. Really well. They suit eachother and eachother's humor. Amazing. I am really glad I saw that film.

The hotel my friend and I stayed at in the city was pretty good, it was really central to everything else, including the train station that we needed to go to a lot to get to the arena when we were going to our concert's. So all in all we had a good weekend, very hectic but so good! It is always fun when I go to the city. Sydney always has a lot to do, and the shopping is fantastic! Well, when you can afford it, that is, lol. I don't have much more to say so I will head off now, I hope everyone has a good weekend and a good week ahead. I'll add photo's from both the Supafest concert & Kelly Clarkson concert in the next entry, including the Garden Party photo's, I have not forgotten about those. Till then, take care, Jaz xXx.

In the beginning for the road trip, we had planned on going to a lovely beachy area of Sydney and having dinner, but since our trip down was longer than expected with the bus being delayed, we ended up rushing down to a nearby restuarant of where we were staying and just had that on the way back, lol. So a lot of it was rushed however we still enjoyed ourselves. When we were on our way to the concert, we were almost late but thankfully I knew where we were going so I just ran, haha. We didn't have to rush at all since when we got there, not even the support act was on yet. Another weekend has passed since that BSB concert and it was fulfilled with big events as well but I'll update all about that in the next entry. Basically, I went to another concert event called The Garden Party, which was held in the local Botanic Gardens here, it was a lovely sunny day and I had such a great weekend all-round, but like I said, I'll talk about that more in the next entry. There's too much and it won't fit into this entry, lol.

Ricki Lee is a local Australian female singer, she was a constestant on Australian Idol in the very first series of the show, and towards the end she was voted off despite being one of the better contender's, not too long after she was signed to a label and started releasing song's. Ricki had a big appeal in Australia and that helped her do well, with cd sales, etc. About two years of releases under her belt, she was cast as a host/presenter on the next couple of Australian Idol rounds, becoming an even bigger hit for the show, she continued her role and still managed to release a new album with more RnB & dancier sound's. I have always enjoyed her music and I was so glad she was selected as the support act for the BSB's. I am a fan who find's all the Backstreet Boys attractive but my number one HAS to be AJ, hehehe. I kept perving on him and taking his photo whenever he would be the one singing or the focus was on him. Haha. Go me! I know the other three are all married and that even now AJ is engaged to a beautiful woman but it's nice to dream, isn't it? LOL. I've recently bought tickets to see John Mayer and Kelly Clarkson.. I think I mentioned Kelly a while ago, but her show is coming up in April and John's is coming up in early May. I cannot wait! My friends and I also recently got tickets to a music festival coming to Sydney called SupaFest, it was formerly called JamFest, but they suddenly changed the name the other week. There is a line-up of artists playing at that such as Akon, Pitbull, Eve, Kelly Rowland, Sean Paul, Jay Sean, DJ Nino Brown and Chris Sorbello! So that is a lot! I've always wanted to see Akon and Pitbull LIVE, so I'm stoked about that. Infact, all that is happening in the same week as the Kelly Clarkson concert, woo hoo! I am excited!!!

I am about to watch Alice in Wonderland, I've been meaning to watch that for such a long time now, so it's good to finally see it. I always thought that Tim Burton has such an amazing visionary for film-making and story-telling, so I am excited! Oh and another one I really want to see soon is Dear John, I have heard amazing feedback of that one, and people are saying it's one of the best tear-jerker's that they have seen in a long time. So that is on my to-do-list! I don't mind any genre of film, if it draw's me in and moves me, I feel it's been successful. That is has accomplished what it was made to do. That's how I feel about film's. Anything that can capture an audience and make them feel what's happening, is an amazing thing. A tremendous affect to have one people. I guess, along with many other thing's, that is what film-making is about, ultimately. Ohh on my way home from the concert, I found a beautiful Frangipani flower sitting on the ground near the pathway from someone's front yard, since it's already fallen off and on the ground, I picked it up. I love Frangipani flower's, they're my fave flower of all time! I love Hibiscus's, Orchid Lily's, Roses and Frangipani's. I like a lot of others ofcourse but those four are my most liked.

I am about to join formspring now and start that up. I'll edit the entry and include the link in so I can get that underway. I had recently thought about doing podcast's, I have an Ipod and I have a Mac now, so it would not be hard to do so. Anyone else think that is a good idea? I really honestly don't know what I would talk about, probably just say everything I'd otherwise say in a written blog entry like I put on here, lol. Oh well, I guess there is nothing really wrong with that and hearing the actual voice would be pretty cool, huh? Anyone want to hear my accent? Hehehe! You will probably beable to soon, lol. Podcast's sound fun! Well I better get going now, got to have some dinner prepared and then do some more laundry washing. Hope everybody is enjoying their week. Love always Jaz xXx.

I'm just waiting on dinner to be ready and then I'll be off here. I'm starving, lol. I don't normally watch much tv these days but I have recently started getting back into two of my favorite show's, Australia's So You Think You Can Dance and Neighbours, my fave male dancer's would have to be Nick and Phillipe, my fave female dancer's would have to be Ivy and Jess S. I'm not sure how many Aussies still continue to watch the newer show's as they come back each year again but I presume it would be a lot, since dancing itself is a big thing in Australia. As is musician's too, or artists/creator's in general. And I LOVE that about my country! Ohh you guys probably won't believe me but I have not seen any new films lately. I did see The Wolfman while I was on my mini holiday but that was two weeks ago now. I am planning on seeing Alice in Wonderland and Valentine's Day, hopefully I get to see both of them sometime pretty soon. I enjoy watching films, it makes me escape the real world but I always find myself also studying the directing or screenplay style of writing... what does that tell you? That I AM very interested in film-making, yep! Because that's true, I am. And somehow I would absolutely LOVE to somehow incorporate graphic designing with film, and I do know that it is possible, I have seen it. And it seems to be the way film-making is going now... so I guess I should say this about my future (even if it be studying, working in it, or both at the same time) 'watch this space' because I really have now finally found what it is I wish to do for a long-term career! And I can incorporate photography, writing stories, graphic designing & now film all into the one combination easily.. it makes sense, right? I think if I have an interest in all three of those things, and clearly film-making is related to each of those thing's... then it must be what I'd be happy doing! And I cannot wait! I really can't.

Now onto other things; work is good, well I need to do as much as I can at the moment to save back up again, haha. I honestly spent a lot more than I had thought and I had a bit of a shock when I checked my bank, haha. Ah well. I did enjoy what I had spent it on so that's worth it, right? I think so. Life is too short not to enjoy the finer thing's in life too. I know we all work but pay yourself more respect and enjoy! It's not a crime, not any of it is selfish and if you can do it most of all, then do so. Because as I said, it's worth it. Oh what I should mention is the show Fringe, WOW. I have just watched the first season on blu-ray dvd's and WOW, it's got me hooked, pretty much instantly. I am usually not ever interested in sci-fi tv show's or in most cases I watch the first few episodes but then forget it's on (I'm obviously not that hooked, or interested) or remember it's on but not bother changing channels for it. I guess it helps that the tv show's come out on DVD not long after anyway. But I do really enjoy watching Fringe, it has Joshua Jackson in it and Anna Torv. If you didn't know, (from IMDB) - it's centered around a female FBI agent who is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena. Sound's confusing but it's actually a lot easier to follow/watch, than you think. I really liked Flash Forward as well but it's not on air anymore, I think we're waiting for the new episodes to air, lol. I miss it. Fringe has sort of filled that void for me, atleast for the time being.

Dinner is almost ready so I am going to get off now and EAT. I hope everyone is having a great week and has an awesome weekend too, I'll be taking a road-trip to the city again for the weekend to see none other than, the Backstreet Boys!. I'll have photo's in my next update. By the way, I have mentioned the form spring possibility that I may open an account there and receive/answer any question's that are sent, providing their appropriate one's, so I'll be looking into that very soon. Take care everyone, stay safe and I'll update you soon on my trip. Love Jaz xXx.
