I just realized I didn't lodge in my application to graduate 'til after the deadline, so technically, I won't be graduating from my Writing program until mid-March. But that's not an issue at all. Monash Uni will mail me the certificate all the way from Melbourne when it's ready :)

Without a doubt, the ladies of American Idol are really bringing ( Read more... )

It has been an epic cinema trip with my bestie Cindy at Central Park. We even ran into our HS friend Amanda (whom I haven't seen since I took off for Melbourne in 2006, despite our keeping in touch on Facebook), who was hanging out with her friends from Sydney.

What a fine piece of art Les Misérables is! Most of the cast really delivered (bravo ( Read more... )

We've toasted to a brand new year at the start of January, so here's hoping your first few weeks of 2013 have been excellent like mine :) I made an exclusive 5-page travel review of my trip to France, Monaco and Spain that you can download on Dropbox (PDF format) if you ever want to get a taste of the places I visited - Paris, Lourdes, Nice, ( Read more... )

Happy holidays to you all! May this festive Christmas month leave you with timeless joy and warmth. I will be off on a 2-week trip to France, Monaco and Spain, where I'll be catching up with the awesom on_the_ground own in Madrid on Jan 4-5. First stop tonight: Paris. Je suis excitee ( Read more... )

Some of my best-loved actors (Sophia Bush, Drew Fuller, Michael Cassidy and Bethany Joy Lenz) have recently been announced as the 2012 host committee for Uganda Project's charity event on December 6 in LA. How lovely is that? I'm glad Michael and Drew get to be a part of something meaningful and also work together (I'm sure they'll meet at some ( Read more... )

Michael Cassidy really does make a fine vamp. He and his beautiful wife - actress Laura Eichhorn (she had minor roles on Bones and Medium) - recently starred in a short College Humor VIDEO as Edward and Bella (well, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to be exact). These cheating outtakes are hilarious they may very well be more entertaining than ( Read more... )

All stars and planets are aligned tonight, and I'll be celebrating! I should be when THIS happened. We've definitely come a long way since "Oh Darling" to the "Listen Up" album ;)
Shindig!

Wow, so there's been a huge gap between this and my very last post. But fear not - I'm still around! Lately, I've been having mini reunions with a few high school friends from overseas who are here for a brief visit. It felt weird but wonderful (quoting "Bennie and the Jets" LOL) to get together after 6 years. I'm glad to see there are plenty of ( Read more... )

What's more surprising than Haley Reinhart's trademark growl and originality? Her RAPPING skills, of course, which she just showed at one of the biggest annual summer music events in the States - Lollapalooza! ;)
This was her very first live debut of her upcoming single "Oh My" (where B.O.B. is featured in the studio version).

There's a first for everything, including a 2nd season renewal for a show Michael Cassidy stars in. So happy he's finally part of a series that gets an immediate pick-up after the crash and burn he had to endure in the past! I'm sure the Men at Work cast and crew are over the moon about it, and I'm super-excited for the boys to be back! ;) They ( Read more... )
