They Call Me Hell, They Call Me Stacey...

"WHAT??? NO POST IN AUGUST?? YOU HAVE NOT KEPT ONE OF YOUR RESOLUTIONS.... YOU ARE JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!!! MWAHAHAHAHA"

Okay, okay. So I didn't post anything in August. But I believe if I post twice this month, then we can even it out by saying the first post will be like I posted in August and not 2 in September.... deal?

I was going through some folders I have on my computer and I found this document that was saved. It was called "THE TOTALLY AWESOME BOOK FILLED WITH TOTALLY AWESOME BEDTIME STORIES Vol. 1". Yes, I was scared to open it and see what amazingly ridiculous stories I created and it was pretty funny, so I am sharing them with you. Enjoy!


There is this story of a mermaid and a merman and they weren't allowed to be together because their parents were rivals in the sea shell industry so they decided to ask their friend, Herman the crab, what would happen if they ended up together anyway. Herman said "I have bloody no idea" and the mer-people said "thanks a lot, you’re a crap psychic” and Herman replied with “yeah, I know” So they ended up losing $20 and they still had their problem. So they both leaped out of the water and over the rainbow and found the leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end and decided to bribe both their parents into letting them marry. So they did and it succeeded and lived happily ever after!!!

There was this girl who turned into a lizard and was called "lizard girl" (I know... so original) and she loved this guy who could morph into a skunk..... they were so bored one day, they decided to play a game... the game was to be an agent and criminal, so lizard girl was the agent and man skunk was the criminal, in the end the agent caught the criminal and they lived happily ever after.

There was a leprechaun, who was a colour scientist, and he was experimenting with what would happen if he mixed candy floss pink with sky blue and grass green......... he ended up having a candy floss pink house with sky blue grass and grass green sky!!!!!

A boy, aged 13, was kidnapped by a secret agency and was turned into a ninja. He went on a mission that had a chemical involved. This was no ordinary chemical as it was deadly. The chemical was called ‘Lovium’ and gave you the disease called ‘Love You’. This was because every time someone came in contact with the infected person, they would start to love them and that’s all they can say. So the ninja got infected and with every villain that he fought, he defeated them by saying “I love you so much” and the ‘love’ ninja conquered all!!!!

There was a mobile phone that was very lonely one day and decided to have a low battery because it wanted some attention from its owner. When the owner looked at the phone, she saw that it had a low battery and got annoyed because she was about to start a sms conversation with her best friend about a guy she met at work. So she plugged it in to be re-charged overnight and the phone felt better. However, the next day when the owner decided she will have this conversation, the phone started to get annoyed because of how much she was using it and this is the story of a moody mobile phone.

There was a special agent who was on a mission to kill someone, but this someone was the one she loved. So she didn’t let her emotions get in the way and tried to come up with an idea. So she decided to tell him her secret that no one knew which was that she had a curse placed on her and she really was a mouse that had been turned to human. The guy was totally freaked out and the first thing he said was “OH MY GOD I KISSED A MOUSE” and started spitting as if he had just kissed a mouse.

There once was a peach chup-a-chup that was in a crowd of chup-a-chups. This lollipop was so lonely, as it was the only peach one in a crowd of strawberry and coke flavours. So it decided it had enough of being treated like this and disguised itself as a strawberry chup-a-chup. One day, it finally was the peach’s turn to get chosen and when the person opened it, they chucked it in the bin. So now the chup-a-chup was lonely and smelly.

There was this deodorant that was sad as it wondered why it had to be put on the smelliest place on the body, the armpits. So the toothbrush came over and said, "at least you don't have to go near bad breath." And both of them were sad. That was until the toilet paper rolled over and said "How do you think I feel?" And the toothbrush and deodorant felt all happy again.
The girl had no friends at school. However, when her mum asked her whether she wanted to have a birthday party, she replied “YES MUM!!!” So they decided to have a party! The day of the party arrived and the girl came downstairs ready in her pink dress to find that all her imaginary friends are ready for her. She had named her imaginary friends Jeremy, Sam and Austin. But there was a love triangle between Austin, Sam and Georgina. Georgina didn’t like both of them so Austin and Sam were sad that they got REJECTED!

One day a rabbit and a pig made a baby. The newborn baby was now a PIG-RABBIT!

There was a guy that got sent to hair prison for committing a crime against the hair society. His hair was so ugly that he had never had a girlfriend or a friend. He asked his mother “why don’t people like me?” His mother replied with “because you have ugly hair dear.” So the next day, he went to the prison hairdressers to get his hair done again, but even the hairdresser said “OMG! Sorry, but you’re a lost cause!” So, he left sad and he went back to his cell and went online to see what the latest craze was, and found out that a male singer by the name of Bustin Jieber had the same hairstyle as him and the next day, he yelled “HA HA WHO HAS BAD HAIR NOW???” And was released from hair prison.
 
Hope you enjoyed them! Who knows, I might create some more..... God help me!

I Won't Let Love Disrupt, Corrupt or Interrupt me, Anymore...

'ello!

So, I have been to see many performers live over the years, and there are some where you leave saying "WOW! That was such an awesome show, with all the flashing lights and production. It was enormous!" (that's what she said...)
Then, there are some where you say "Jeez, that was so not worth the money I paid. They were miming the words and were out of time and the production was rubbish. Worst concert EVER!"
However, these were not the experiences I had when I saw the talented Mr Jack White. Mostly famous as being half of the highly reputable duo, The White Stripes.
He just had this presence about him, where even when people who paid good money to see him, can't sit down for about 2.5 hours and hear him play and enjoy themselves. No, they have to stand and get themselves alcohol every 5 seconds and decide to block people's view of the stage. Yes, this was my case, but when I did manage to see Mr White, he had this presence inwhich everything that was just described to you, goes away or you don't notice it that much, because he has you in his musical web and you are left feeling honoured to have seen this musically talented genius.

For those who have not heard of him, here's his latest solo track;
Freedom At 21

I saw him at Hordern Pavilion and the whole stage was magnificent. He has made his album different shades of blue and so that is what the stage was colour coded as. Even his band members were wearing blue suits. They looked very hip!

You're a Hot Mess and I'm Fallin For You

Hello fellow readers,

It's come to that time where I fill you in with everything that has happened this past month.
If I'm to be fairly honest with you lot, May was a bit of a "nothing" month, exactly zilch happened!
June on the other hand, well it started out with a bang! I went with my cousin to the Simple Plan concert at Hordern Pavilion on 1st June. They had The Never Ever, See photos here, and We The Kings supporting. Unfortunately, I could only hear TNE play, but we got in just in time to see WTK and of course Simple Plan! They were amazing! Simple Plan rocked our socks off!!!!

My favourite song by them is "Can't Take My Hands Off You"..... enjoy!
I managed to take some videos on my phone, so if possible, I'll see if I can upload them on here soon (as well as doing that sydney harbour TNE show blog that I was meant to do a while ago... don't worry, I haven't forgotten about that).

Next thing, The Three Musketeers! I have been waiting forever for this movie to come out on DVD, I wasn't able to get to the cinema in time to see it, but boy I wish I did. Two words....
LOGAN LERMAN
Seriously, from the first moment you see him sword-fighting with his "father" to the final scene where he "kisses" Constance...... just, oh wow!!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about, YOU NEED TO SEE THE MOVIE! Oh yeah, also the dialogue and action scenes were really good.... BUT LOGAN! (BTW, he's appearing in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" very soon with Emma Watson, it should be good!)


He's just gorgeous!!!! Thank you to tumblr for the gif and pics.
Not only is he a real pretty boy, but he's only 2 months older than me........ PERFECT! ;)
Here's the trailer for Perks

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now!
Cheers!

It Comes and Goes Like the Strength in Your Bones..

Okay, so this post is actually meant to be for April. Pretty much anything exciting happened at the end of April, so here's a recap!

28th of April, was the middle of the Sydney Comedy Festival and my sister and I had front row tickets for British comedian, Simon Amstell.
O.M.G! If you don't know who he is, he use to be the host of a popular UK music panel show called Never mind the Buzzcocks, so check him out because he is #amazeballs!


There you go! You're inlove now, aren't you? it's okay, I hear ya sister! Mmmmmmhmmmmm!

He was so good! If you ever get a chance to see him live, GOOOOOOOO!!!! Christ on a stick, just go!!

On 29th April, I got a chance to take photos at a gig for Sydney's power/pop band The Never Ever. Thanks to Lisa and Gary at Rawr Music for giving me this opportunity.
They played at The Lair in The Metro Theatre. Tom Jordan, Forever Ends Here and A Sleepless Melody were the support acts. If you would like to look at the pics of them, just go to Bubblewrap Riot Photography and browse..... also, please click like and share to all your friends!

This is a Night You'll Regret in the Morning

Hello world,

I know, It's a bit early in the month for an update, but I think it's time...

I found the above picture on Facebook and by golly gosh, I was inlove with the guy on the right...
I had to find out which band he was from. So trusty google got opened and I was typing in every name on this cover till I found that the mystery hot guy is Josh Franceschi, the lead singer of English rock band You Me At Six!

So now, I have a new obsession with You Me At Six. For all of today, instead of working my butt off trying to find myself a job, I was watching all their tour diaries on youtube and I saw at one of the gigs, Danny and Dougie from McFly were backstage.....O.M.F.G.!!!!!!!!!

So, to express my new found love for Josh (and the band) here are some pictures I've collected and a video of their song Loverboy which i absolutely can't get enough of...... OMG IT JUST CAME ON MY ITUNES, NO JOKE!!!!






Reminds me a bit of Photographer Tom Leishman, in a way, no??? Okay, must be just me then.....lol

Here's the clip...

Enjoy!
Peace out!

You Make me Smile from the Inside Out...

HHHHheeeeellllloooooooo....

I know in my last post I said I would write a blog about my outing for the Never Ever Launch, and I will, just got to write about other things first.

There's one thing I've noticed whenever I go shopping... I never buy shoes. You would think I would be able to buy like a million pairs of shoes, but nope, I buy NADA! I just can't do shoe shopping, I have to bring my mother to help me, and what's her advice "Hey Mon, just look at the shoes the singers wear in the K-Pop music videos"...WTF? Nice advice mum, you're so wise!

Anyway, so yesterday, mum and I decided to go shoe shopping. I needed nice thongs (flip flops if you're american), and some nice flats. I did find a pair but they had to order my size cause my feet are this size...

So I get to try them on soon, when I decide to go to the shop.

After that epic journey, we couldn't resist NOT going into Dymocks. So we did!
I came out with three books... "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins<< Originally bought for my cousin, but I found out that she went in the same Dymocks as me a few moments later and bought it herself, "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, apparently my mum thinks I'll like it, and "The Rum Diary" by Hunter S. Thompson.... It has Johnny Depp on the cover and I can't wait to read it...
Here are the covers...
Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins

Anna Karenina- Leo Tolstoy


The Rum Diary- Hunter S. Thompson


Yes, that is the unbelievably gorgeous Johnny Depp.....


So, I think I should get back to the books...
I will do another blog real soon!! :)

Krillen Like Shark...

Hello world,

Okay, so the title of this blog isn't from a song, however, it is a quote from one of the band members of unsigned Sydney band The Never Ever.

WOW! How close was I to not fulfilling one of my resolutions of writing a blog at least once a month??? GO ME GO ME! *clap* <<< That was me hi-5ing myself!

So today's blog is going to be about.........*drumroll*......... you guessed it, hopefully, The Never Ever. I am a new fan and love them to bits.
There are 5 members; vocals/ guitar- Mr. Dylan (Krillen) Nash, vocals/ bass- Patrick (Patty) Ortiz, drums- Jess (4 president) Penfold, guitar- Bradlee (Brad) Smith, and on syths- Alana (Lani) Miller.
Believe it or not, I first found out about them though twitter. Well actually through this thing on twitter called tinychat. It was a monday night and I noticed that there were a whole lot of people in this chatroom/ tinychat room called tnemondays. So I decided to see what it was about...
I got myself in there and there were all these fangirls fangirling, as they do. I have to admit, I was not expecting that.
The band members came on webcam and did a chat for a whole 30 mins. Usually bands make their fans wait all day/ night, depending where you are in the world, just to see 10 seconds of the band, but this was a WHOLE 30 MINS!
I have to admit, I did think Mr Krillen was cute, and from there I "youtubed"(getting my technical lingo on) the band to check out their songs. I think the first song I listened to was Hey KT, thought they were okay, then I listened to "At Sixes and Sevens" and they sold me.

I'll add links and photos of them, so you can perve your lil pervy eyes out, later.
Here's the photos and links...
From L-R: Lani, Patty, Krillen, Brad, President Jess.

Hey KT

At Sixes and Sevens

Lastly, their latest song off their new EP, Breathe (which you can get at JB Hi-Fi from 16 March)
Love's Got Me Tipsy

I'll also make a blog to do with my day out at Sydney Harbour when I went to see them play live.

See you all on the flip side!

I've Got A Feeling...

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS!!!!

I have marked 2012 as a year of change.
  • Change of clothes
  • Change of attitude
  • Change of job
  • Change of relationship status (I have a feeling, this will be just wishful thinking) - ;)
And much much more.

Usually with New Years, there's the first decision to be made of "what will be my new years' resolution that I won't stick to?"
But wait, I will be one of the very few people that will actually stick to these resolutions I have set myself.
Hopefully, by this time in 2013, I will have completed the following;
  1. Live every moment like it's the last.
  2. Get myself a LOVELY bf that is just lush eye candy! (preferably English)
  3. Dress trendy everytime I go out and not just jeans and a plain top
  4. Come out of my shell a bit, I have been known to be a bit shy and timid.
  5. Get a job in the Events Industry
  6. Blog at least once a month!!!!!!
  7. Start photography...
  8. GO TO ENGLAND FINALLY!!!!!
I shall take on these challenges to the best of my ability, but stuff it, who knows if I'll actually succeed. I guess time will tell.

I've realised that I haven't been really cherishing any moments over the past few years, so I thought I should start "living every moment like it's the last".
I think I've been too long without a boytoy! :) So this year, I'll be keeping a lookout for any potentials and seeing if there is anything there.
I do get lazy sometimes, so I usually just put on the first things I can find and there, I'm dressed. This year I think I should be making more of an effort with my appearance, and so far, I think I've been keeping to it!
I have been told that I am quite a shy person, so I think if I just took a deep breath and went for whatever it was I think I should do, then I'm going to do it!!!
Now that I have bloomin completed the entire Events Course and passed everything, it's time I found myself a job in the Industry. I do have exciting news..... *drumroll*....... I have an Event Co-ordinator job interview this Friday at Chatswood's 'The Concourse' which will be a hip new venue for local artists, international music artists, art exhibitions, etc. It's all exciting, I've been compiling all my qualifications and relevant materials....
I've also realised that me and Sarah have been lacking in our blogs recently...... At least I did an end of year and beginning of year blogs.... unlike some people I know (cough)Sarah(cough).... hehehe I shall endeavour to change this and blog at least once a month.
I've always been interested in photography and my love for Tom Leishman's photography has confirmed that I should get a proper DSL camera and start being really creative and take awesome photos.
And finally, I BLOOMIN HECK WANNA GO TO ENGLAND ALREADY!!!!! I've been wanting to go all my life and I think it's about time that I go. Don't know who with or when but my god, it will happen!!!!

So I shall keep you updated, MONTHLY, with what has been happening and hope you all have a wicked kick ass year!!!!

I'm out!
