Mexican and Rock & Roll

Happy hump day.

It's been so grey and dingy lately that it's kinda put me in a bit of a downer.
No one likes a dreary day.

The Olympics are coming to a close this Friday. Go Team Canada!

What better way to celebrate than to go out for Mexican and a little Rock & Roll this weekend. Hopefully, that will lift my spirits up a bit. Either that.. or the nachos and beers. ;)

On that note, I'll finish off and head out to face this ugly outside. Holla!

To add:

~ Weekend was amazingness. 55 Special all the way.. The first rule of 55 Special, don't talk about 55 Special. The second rule of 55 Special, don't make eye contact.

~ Been feeling quite nostalgic with music as of late. I highly recommend pulling out your old Garbage Version 2.0 CD. God.. I forgot how fabulous it is. They are so amazing.

~ Imogen Heap is brilliant.

~ My 365 project is one week away from being completed. Hooray?

~ BRMC's new album soon! March 9th. Excitement overload! That and Alkaline Trio. I'm in heaven.

~ my new boots. i want to hump them. what a great find.. and great price! and exactly how i wanted them to look.




Garbage on my mp3 player.. i'm so ready to face the day.
Ciao ciao.

We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice.

Where do we go from here?
How do we carry on?
I can't get beyond the questions.
Clambering for the scraps
In the shatter of us collapsed.
That cuts me with every could-have-been.

Pain on pain on play, repeating
With the backup makeshift life in waiting.

Everybody says: "Time heals everything."
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?

And sit here cold?
We'll be long gone by then.
And lackluster in dust we lay
'round old magazines.
Fluorescent lighting sets the scene
For all we could and should be being
In the one life that we've got.

Forty days until Easter. Sans chocolate. No Mini Eggs...?
Be Warned: This will get ugly fast kids...

On a more serious note, this time for me is important as a time for personal reflection.
A time for renewal.. and rebirth. Not just for fasting, prayer and charity. Time for new changes.. from within as well as from on the outside.

13 more days until my 365 project ends.
And then what?
But I'm happy because I'm finally getting to the foto ideas I've wanted to try out from the start and have always put off. For instance.. I've finally submitted a Bench Monday shot this week. (Only Flickr peeps will know what that means.. so, I'm not even going to explain because it won't make any sense to anyone else.) It's not as good as I wanted it to be.. but I'm still happy with it.




This is the original foto idea I *was* going to go with... but I didn't think it was whimsical enough for me.. and what I was trying to get at. So, I ditched the harsh boots.. and went with white ballet slippers and tulle skirts instead.



But... I would like to add that I was contacted through Flickr by someone at the Northampton Museum in the UK where they will be having an exhibit about Dr Martens boots and they requested to use that foto! With full credit to me of course.. That's exciting! In addition to using that foto, they will also be using this foto in their exhibit:



I'm kinda excited that my fotos are being asked to be used in various different things. I didn't think for once that my fotos were really that artsy... or good enough. So.. in a way, as sad as I will be about my 365 project coming to a close.. I'm a little happy that I will be able to focus my foto taking skills on other projects in the future. Stay tuned!

I'm off for the night.
Buona notte.
much love,
~G .xoxo.

But I want more...

P!NK was on Oprah. She's so completely amazing. And she sang my favourite song off her newest album. Hearing her talk about the song was kinda funny.... i think that's just a general virgoan trait to be so critisizing and hold such high expectations from the other person.. that you're scrutizing them SO so much... that you completely disregard your own self and the weaknesses and faults we hold by ourselves. All I can say is.. in the past year.. my eyes have been opened a great deal and like she states in her interview about the song.. it was, indeed.. a very humbling experience. I'm glad at least it turned out well in her story.

I love P!NK. I think she's an extraordinary artist and individual and definitely someone I would say is a great and powerful role model for young girls today. I look forward to all the new music she has to bring to the table.


main interview



P!NK talks about the song "I Don't Believe You"



Live acoustic of "I Don't Believe You"



It's a snow day today. So, drive safe people.. and bundle up!!

Things are looking up... Oh, finally.

I made this big dinner for my family on Friday cuz it was my parent's 38th anniversary... It was yumm.. but I wasn't impressed by it to be honest.. haha Yah, I know.. but it wasn't planned out and I decided on a whim what I was making. My initial plan was to just cook dinner for my parents... and I had to change the meal last minute because others were coming who wouldn't eat it and neither would me and my sister since we do not eat meat.. so, it made no sense to make this dish for 2-3 people out of 7 people. So, with the menu changing last minute.. I didn't have much time to think it through.. and I didn't put much effort into it. But I can't complain. I loved my garlic grilled zucchini and salad the most. My sister's rice is amazing too. There was lots left over. .. and it's all mine!

BUT............... to be honest.. the highlight of my dinner arrangements was the cake the I baked.. which I stayed up until 1:00am the previous night to bake. AND.... the worst part is.. that I made SO much food (penne arrabiata for firsts, balsamic & rosemary chicken for seconds, grilled zucchini, roasted potatoes, steamed beans, mixed green salad as well as the rice dish that my sister brought).. that my parents were TOO stuffed to eat my cake! I was SOOO sad. Really. I was. haha. I know.. lame. BUt I was so proud of my cake and couldn't wait to unveil it to the world... err.. family.

Anyways, here are some fotos of my yummy cake. It was a red velvet cake, in case you're wondering what kind it was. But, I'm sure you can tell that when you see the inside of it.. ;D







I actually shaved all that white chocolate on top by hand. It was SUCH a pain in the ass... but so worth it. The cake was so delicious and I made it all from scratch. I've never made a red velvet cake before... but I've always wanted to because they look so amazing!! But I've never eaten one either... so, I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like. So, I hope it was good to others as well.


Yes, this blog was purely to brag about my mad baking skillz, y0. haha Kidding.


Recently, I've been catching up with old friends that I have not seen in a long time and I'm so happy about that. I'm so glad to have gotten a chance to see them and chat. It's been such a long while since I've spoken to them... and I realized how much I missed them and the times I had before.

I have very good feelings right now about life and things in general. I seem to be in a positive mood and place lately... and in high spirits. I'm not sure why... what's causing it.. or how long it will last... but I definitely welcome it with open arms. I've been on a rocky road for far too long and this little bit of calmness with a bit of sunshine is most appreciated. :)

Have a great night people... and HUG frequently!!! ^__^
much love,
~G .xoxo.

Pink-a-licious

I'm sure you all know by now that I'm not a fan of Valentine's day. Well, the concept behind it.. we don't need to go on about how it's this huge commercial holiday where they rake in the money making lovers feel guilty if they don't do something stupendous for each other... (although, i tend to find the pressure is more on the guys than the girls). You all know my take on romance.. and how it should be celebrated always, at random times throughout the year. Although, I must admit i loved this one gift my ex gave me. He once gave me this cd (and a canister of mini eggs!! eee!).. well, the cd was the Retro Romance cd... and i LOOOOOVED that cd so much.. and to my disappointment... i have NO clue whatsoever where the hell that cd is. Which makes me think he either stole borrowed it.. or someone else lifted it.. cuz it's no where to be found in my home. So, i'm kinda peed off about that.

BUT.. moving along here.. i WILL however admit that, for purely selfish reasons.. there is one thing i enjoy about the V-day holiday. I absolutely adore walking down the aisles that are completely adorned in pink and red and white and all sorts of pretty and cute lovely things you don't normally see. Personally.. i think it would be pretty damn awesome.. if they sold Valentine's day awesomeness ALL year long. Just one little corner in the store.. we'll call it the LOve angle. err.. that doesn't sound quite romantic.. hehe well, you get my point.

So, here's what I say to you all. Boycott V-day! If you're with your loved one.. then celebrate on another day.. don't buy eachother flowers! Let me tell you (and there's a flower shop at my work).. they DOUBLE the prices of flowers (or more) around the V-day holiday because they KNOW that suckers are gunna dish out the cash cuz they don't wanna look like a douchebag. If you truly wanna spend some quality time and feel the need to celebrate.. then do something sincere....sans the cash flow. Example: make a home-made card.. cuz it's way cuter and sentimental. Make dinner.. if you can't cook.. order in. Get a cheeze movie.. watch it.. and then have a total make-out session on the couch like highschool stylies. haha seriously. Those are the best times. Not 4 dozen roses that cost you $$$$$$$$$ and some hoity toity restaurant where you can't even pronounce the name...

If you're not with someone.. even BETTER! haha Makes no difference.. cuz it's a day just like any other day. Bake stuff! cuz baking cute stuff is ALWAYS fun. trust me. :)

Either way, celebrate love all year round. Eff the commericalness of V day... and EFF this cold WEATHER!!! yah.. i just added that last one in there cuz I can't stand the frigidness of winter.. carry on now.. :)

So, I'll leave you with all sorts of cute images of pink and loveliness that are a plenty this time of year. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

much love:

Honeybee, you’re killing me.

It’s hard to stumble in your harmonies
But just like nicotine and it gets complicated
You keep on pouring on the gasoline
And it’s the sweetest feeling, oh it gets me, gets me down

I went into class today partially prepared for an exam. But i goofed on the dates and my exam is actually on Wednesday. Good job. More study time for me. Awesomeness.

Vitamin D. Take it people. Also, I've noticed a lot of people are falling ill in this gawd awful weather we've been having. You should hit a natural food store near you and pick up a vial of oil of oregano. I swear by that stuff (and so do a lot of other people). The taste is pretty intense so, I put it in juice because I can't handle it on its own.. yah... I'm a total wuss. But we already knew that. Five drops a day. You'll feel better in no time. Trust me.

I'm enjoying this facebook-less time I'm having. Now, if only I can get some warm weather in me. That would be perfect. That would be ideal.

First day of February today. I don't have a whole bunch to say but here's my little tidbit of wisdom I'll spout out for you all. Take it.. or don't. Your choice.
-- Don't wait around in the sidelines for the days to begin. If you're waiting and not finding what you want to come out of those days... then you're just wasting away your days. So, I tell you this. Go find some days that give you things that you want in return. Not just empty days of half-arsed looks, comments, maybes and perhaps. Don't entertain novel ideas in your own head of what is really happening. Trust me. There's nothing worse than a one sided story where the other side.... does not even exist.

Happy Monday.
much love:
~G .xoxo.



Honey Bee - Garbage (B-side)
lyrics

I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag.

For every decision I made impulsively in the past out of sheer protection/{reaction} of myself, I now know that perhaps {at times} I acted too hastily.

For every feeling that I felt so deeply, I now know that nothing could ever shake that.

For every glance I stole so secretly, I now know were wasted eyefuls of nonsense & futility.

For every thing I thought I knew, I now know that I really know absolutely nothing at all.


So, I'll just listen to my music and take fotos. { and keep to myself }

rubber ducky.

beyond the big hill.

i cuori matti.

P.S. I just found my new bestest, most favourite site in the whole entire world. ^__^

Vorrei passare nel mondo come un soffio di vento

I cannot believe it's already been one year since my cousin has left us so suddenly. I think about him all the time and my heart breaks when I think about everything that has been left behind.

What hurts me the most is that under such circumstances.. you would think that the loss of a dear loved one would bring people together and unite them. That you would learn not to take things for granted and not to hold such anger and hatred in your hearts. But I feel as if my cousin's life has been lost in vain.. without having even caused a dent in the hearts and minds of certain individuals... and that kills me so much. How dare they feud and rage over these nonexistent petty and trivial things when someone we love so much had to leave us? How dare they point fingers and whisper such hateful things and tear down bridges? I'm appalled at the behavior of so many adults but mostly I am saddened.. that there cannot be peace after all that has come to be.

My cousin is no longer here with us. He's gone Forever. And I miss him so much all the time. I'm so sorry that even after you are gone these people have refused to see the light.. but only made everything much more worse. I'm so sorry my cousin... I am so so sorry :(

Mi manchi da morire, cugino mio.
Per sempre sarai nei miei pensieri e nel mio cuore.

♥ ♥ ♥

Vorrei passare nel mondo
come un soffio di vento
che accarezza la vita:
senza farsi notare,
senza fare rumore,
solo farsi sentire.
Penetrare nel cuore
dove l'uomo non muore
e nascondersi là:
per godere l'amore,
poi un raggio di sole
là nell'intimità.

E cantare sui prati
sussurrando agli uccelli:
io t'invidio lo sai
per la tua libertà.
E sentirmi volare
proprio dove mi pare
per toccare il mio cielo
e arrivare di là.

Vorrei passare nel mondo
come un soffio di vento
che accarezza i bambini:
far sentire la brezza
di un mattino diverso
in un mondo che muore.
Camminare e parlare
della vita e di tutto
e giocare anche un po':
ed in fondo t'accorgi
che un bambino t'insegna
ciò che tu non sai più.

E cantare sui prati
sussurrando agli uccelli:
io t'invidio lo sai
per la tua libertà.
E sentirmi volare
proprio dove mi pare
per toccare il mio cielo
e arrivare di là.

Vorrei passare nel mondo
come un soffio di vento
che va verso il Signore:
spalancare la vita
sull'eterno presente
che riempie il mio cuore.
Io mi sento disperso
nell'amore di Dio
che non finirà più:
ogni istante è una vita
che io sento infinita,
il mio soffio sei tu.

E cantare sui prati
sussurrando agli uccelli:
io t'invidio lo sai
per la tua libertà.
E sentirmi volare
proprio dove mi pare
per toccare il mio cielo
e arrivare di là...

[ Come Un Soffio Di Vento - Giosy Cento ]

So make a move, cuz i ain't got all night

Boredom strikes!

Which leads to:

1. laying on the couch while playing Bubble Burst and listening to tunes on digital radio station,
   
   
2. doodling cute girls with cute hair and rockin' outfits and writing fake love notes that i never intend to send
   
   
3. giving up being bored.. and dragging my ass back online to be more bored over here

MissC is sick at home.. otherwise we would be somewhere else being bored together.. at least.. which would probably be less boring. But nothing is dull and boring when we go near it. Impossible. We make running laps around the airport an event never to be forgotten!



But she is sick. And I am car-less. So, I blog.


While I was browsing away.. I came across an artist who is now one of my favourites. She is so beyond talented and I want one of her paintings on my wall. Look how amazing these are:








Anyhoo, you must go and check her out here audrey-kawasaki.com


On another note.. I'd just like to add that I'm 40 days away from completing my 365 Days project. I'm actually a tad sad about it.. but I'll be glad to not have the pressure of having to take a foto every single day. I will compile a collage of sorts when I'm done and make a post about it. Maybe...




Two more weekends until it's dance time. I'm ready.

So.. Hey.. I'm sure you've all noticed I've completely revamped my blog. The old one was very dreary and dark.. and I was tired of it. I needed something a lot more bright and plain. Yep.

Sleep beckons me now. I'm an old fart and I have class tomorrow.

Plus, I'm getting my hair done. Tomorrow, that is.
I'm excited.

much love:
~G. xoxo.


P.S. This poem makes me feel ill. :(

Always, Sometimes, Never

I stole this from my friend Jen's blog. She always posts amazing things... and I quite liked this little bit of thing she wrote out. So.. here is my always, sometimes and never list. I'm sure i could write a thousand more things for each of them.. but this is what i wrote for now.


I always:

- daydream
- want to learn new things
- keep a journal by my bed (I should write in it more…)
- make wishes on things
- cross my fingers
- want to give everyone advice.. (even when they don’t ask)
- am polite
- swear too much
- listen to music
- have many projects on the go
- express my feelings through songs
- laugh. A lot.
- want to do everything
- speak in code and write words with hidden meanings
- say “dood!”
- have been shy when I like someone
- squish my moo moo kitty faces, Lilly
- cook too much food
- have an abundance of hope.. (though, I haven’t the faintest clue why…)
- was a loner by choice
- only buy AE boy undies
- rewatch my favourite movies several times
- want to be just the way I am



I sometimes:

- really love cheesy songs
- am not totally and completely impulsive with my feelings
- become obsessed with new things I like, then lose interest quickly
- read my own books (that aren’t school textbooks)
- buy things I do not need
- bite the inside of my lip
- wear make-up
- sing loudly while walking & listening to my headphones (when no one’s around..)
- imagine things that were never really like that. Ever.
- put the music full blast and dance around like a nutcase
- wish the way I thought about things was different. It would be so much easier…
- make crafty things & bake cuteness
- watch my VHS tapes and listen to cassettes, while my sister laughs at me



I never:

- find what I’m looking for
- am clingy.. and I hate clinginess in people
- take naps
- get over it
- do what’s best for me as much as I should be…
- go after boys I like. Ever. If they really liked you, they’d go after you.
- let my friends down
- want to go back
- want to be a dull grown-up.
- throw out my shoes
- will outgrow No Doubt. Ever.
- leave my hair my natural colour cuz I think it’s so dull
- know how to say what I want. So.. I just don’t say anything at all.
- want to stop caring this much
- untie my laces when I take off my shoes
- want to live far from my family
- understand most people
- expect anyone to understand me
- want to let the magic die

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be... Blue?

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I feel the need to post because I want to blog and post all kinds of stuff..... but I have a bit of an issue. I've been feeling SO uninspired lately. I'm not sure if it's because of the doldrums of winter that drag me down... or if it's because I've just been too busy lately without anything really new and exciting to add zest to my life... but either way.. I feel as if I am in some sort of stagnant lull for the time being and I'm not quite sure how to veer out of it... or if I'm supposed to be out of it right now. Either way, It's driving me insane. I crave something new and invigorating so so badly... it hurts. A bit dramatic.. aren't I. ;D

My incessant need for grandeur, glamour and greatness is a tad suffocating at the moment. Not that I need to be great and glam or anything like that. I just need a little bit of spice and seasoning to flavour it up for a short little while at least. Unfortunately... being a student who has taken out no loans and is paying out of her own little pockets means that I have neither the time nor money to do so. Mostly... the time.

I could sit here and post random crap that means nothing... or I can sit here and bitch and whine about shit that I'm not pleased with as of late... but it is nothing new that I haven't dealt with previously.. so, even complaining about it is boring.

I can post fotos of cute and fun things... like, my cookies:



my super duper most amazing mittens:



me feetsies in these B-A-N-A-N-A-S toe socks:



....but my fotos are all dull and boring too lately. As I'm nearing the end of my 365 project... I've run out of ideas for fotos as well as the motivation and drive to conjure up exciting and incredible photo shoot ideas. Blah...

I'm so bored with myself that I'm even sitting here rolling my eyes thinking.. "yer gunna post this crap..? Really?" .. hahaaaa yes.. I frequently have conversations with myself.

I know that I have a crapload of plans for the near future and I know that in time there's a big change coming on... and I'm excited for all of it. But I'm impatient. And I want something new.. as of yesterday!! and not tomorow.

So, I say to you all...

Somebody; Anybody.. come and inspire me. I dare you to.


much love:
~G .xoxo.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

BRRRR!! it's minus 17 degrees outside! How ridiculous is that??!?!

hahaha



Classes are done. finito. Christmas break commences now.

I have a flurry of events to attend and a bunch of loose ends to tie up!
How exciting! err.. or sumpin. hehe

Time to wrap up a very loooong and tiring year.

:)

Happy Holidays Everyone! ^__^
much love:
~G. .xoxo.



(my lovely Christmas tree)

My Fotos & Halloweenies

So, a while ago, my fotos were chosen as possible submissions for this online mapping/info website called Schmap.com. I just got an email today saying they chose my fotos! How exciting! I've had people blog my fotos and post them on forums so many times in the past.. but this is the first time they were chosen for something a little more official. Yay!

My two fotos that were selected are below (click on the foto for the Schmap website)

Sneaky Dee's



Niagara Falls



Fun, right? :))))

ok, so.. halloween was last weekend and clearly I make the most out of my fave holiday. For the JK/SK class, I had to wear something a little more cute instead of my evening costume.. or I might terrify the kids and send them screaming home having nightmares for years to come.. hehe

(an aside: i'm not sure if i had mentioned it previously, but I volunteer on Fridays at a school nearby. I help teach the kindergarten class. It's a lot more work than I thought... but it's completely amazing still. One day, I'm going to break out with "it's NOT A TUMOR!!" just for shits and giggles.. hehe)

So, during the day I was Fafi Fafinette! If you don't know who that is.. then you gots issues! but.. for those who don't know, ... LOOK:



Yep. cute huh?

so, here's me and my darling camera wh0ring it up though I'm sure she's much cuter than any Fafi could possibly be.






and then for the Saturday night, my friend MissC joined me as a Fafinette and we were Fafi twinsies! this one girl at the club actually recognized us, to my amazement. haha nice.

Fafi Twins:


ok. so, for my Friday night big party.. the main event.. i was dressed as.. you ready for this..?? ;)

B e e t l e g i u s i .

HA.. i friggen LOVE it. weeeeeeeeeeeeee



too much amazingness. i love love love Beetlejuice and being the chick version of him was pretty awesome. Then i lead the crowd into the Thriller dance.. too much awesomeness in one night.

You can see fotos from the night over here:
Halloween Fotos

So.. that's all for now. Some brief updates here:

School is kicking my ass hardcore right now. So many assigments and reading to do.
I've been fighting off this borderline cold for two weeks now.. but i refuse to give in and it hasn't taken over yet. sleep. vitamin C & D. and LOTS of fluids. yeah yeah! :))
Fuck the H1N1 vaccine. I'm not getting that shit. It's insanity that they're pushing everyone to get it. Insanity! I refuse, i refuse, I REFUSE!!
I hate the colours of this blog. i've been browsing constantly for something better cuz i so need to change it but i'm really picky and haven't found the perfect one yet.
I've started playing football again (soccer) contrary to my doctor's orders. I like it.
California here i come! three more months... :)))))
Paramore and A Fine Frenzy's new albums are way amazing. you HAVE to get them.
My 365 project is 2/3rds of the way done. yay!

K.. that's it.. that's all. Have a wicked rest of the weekend and WASH YER HANDS PEOPLE!!
*mUaH* .xoxo.

Thrill The World!!

Hey everyone! As I'm sure anyone who knows me well already knows... my most FAVOURITE time of year is quickly approaching. Yep. You guessed it.

H A L L O W E E N

oOOooOooOoooOooooOOoooOOoooOooh....


I don't normally blog anymore cuz I'm way too busy and already am finding it difficult to keep up to date with my 365 uploads... but I really wanted to share this with all of you cuz it was so so amazing!!!

Not sure if any of you have ever heard of it or not.. but there's this annual event called Thrill the World. What is it you ask? Well.. it's everyone in the world dancing to Thriller at the exact same time! That's what!! haha.. if there's something more amazing than that.. then please.. let me know. :))

i LOVE the Thriller dance... and after seeing 13 Going on 30 (one of my fave movies) I've been obsessed with doing the Thriller dance at events and such. So, imagine my excitement when I heard about this thing happening.

Anyhoo... this year's event brought in a number four times the amount of last year's event! WOW! that probably has a lot to do with the fact that MJ passed away. (RIP)

So.. i would just like to take this opportunity to post a video of this year's Toronto event that had nearly 200 people. So, check out us zombies dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller.
And I hope you can all make it out to next year's event!!!

I'm teaching lessons as well for those attending the huge Halloween bash this Friday night and will be leading the dance to Thriller at the party and I cannot wait! :)))

Enjoy the video .xoxoxox.





For more information on the Thrill The World event and detailed step-by-step instructional videos on how to learn the dance, please visit their website: thrilltheworld.com

Here are some photos as well.

Zombified me:

(minus a couple of people)


That's it everyone. Enjoy the holidays.
Stay safe & Have fun....but most importantly:
HAPPY SPOOKINGS & HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

A Year's End

so..today is officially the last day of my 30th year. and what a long and eventful year it has been... with so so many crazy things that happened.. and unfortunately.... with some very tragic things that happened.. :`(((

it has definitely proven to be one of the hardest years I have overcome in my entire life. with so many downs and dips of despair... and a fountain of tears the never ceased to overflow....

but i have to hold my head up high.. because the ending of this year has proved to be a turning point.. and things seem to be brightening up ahead.. for the first time in a long long time... and I'm excited about what the future brings and all the things I cannot wait to take on.

Here's to my dirty thirty... and all the rest that comes along with it.

:))))) ♥



(Taken directly from my 365 post for today)
________________________________



Before I end this post, I need to add one more thing.
I finally saw my most favourite girl in the world!!
I won wristbands to a live taping of a Drew Barrymore interview at MuchMusic. How freakin' RAD IS THAT??!?! Seriously.. she's so much amazingness!!!! :))))))







My life is now complete.
BEST.birthday.present. ever!!! :))))))

(the photos are blurry because we weren't allowed to use flash.. and plus my batteries were dying. i know! suckage! but i cannot complain.)


And I would like to end this post with a lovely video.. one of my favourite songs ever.. and a tribute to mister Patrick Swayze. RIP.

Tempesta d'Amore no more....?!?!?

Ok. So.. i have a HUGE beef to pick with E!Montreal ... and their decision to pull the plug on airing Tempesta d'Amore.

I don't really blog all that much anymore... but I've noticed that a lot of people have been visiting my blog as of late looking for information on a new channel where it might be airing or why it ended or how it ended... etc. (Although, I would like to add that it's nice to see that people are actually visiting my blog for stuff that's been posted on it and no longer just stalking it a trillion times a day for sheer boredom or insanity. You pick.)

So.. as you ALL may or may not have known... E! Montreal pulled the plug on airing this italian dubbed soap and went on a Tempesta marathon for a couple of weeks.. having shows twice a day and on Sunday as well.. finally ending it all on the very dreary day of August 30th. *devastation!!!*

Now.. i'm not sure about all of you.. but I record my Tempesta on my PVR box and i catch up on it whenever I can. I'm very busy most times.. as i am a full time student and work as well.. (although this summer, i've worked beyond full time hours to pay for my tuition and then some. and.. i would like to add that i barely made a dent in anything. so so sad..)

anyhoo.. For those who are avid watchers and following closely.. you're already aware that this 3rd part of Tempesta was focusing on Samia and Gregor (my love) and their on and off again romance. Now.. what i do not understand is.. why the hell the rush to end the show and air it twice a day and on sundays too... and then not even end up FINISHING the storyline?!?!?!? what the HELL??? i do NOT get it!!!..???.!?!?

Clearly, by looking online.. you KNOW they get married. Yet.. they do not even GET to that point.. what the hell..????



And let's not forget the 4th storyline.. (oh yes.. there's a 4th)...
Of our loveable Felix and the ever so cute Emma. (seriously. she's so friggen adorable. i love her and felix together and it bugs me that now i'll never be able to even SEE any of that! *shakes fist angrily!!!*)


I'm sorry if I spoiled that for you.. but yah. that's who was shackin up next. don't act so surprised as if you didn't see it coming.. besides.. Felix is long overdue for a romance. ;)

((( You can watch the Sigla for that 4th storyline here: --> CLICKIES )))

So........ why end it without an ending? i don't get it..?? and will it be airing again? on another channel??? another time??? another planet??? who the hell knows anymore! all i know is that i am VERY upset... (no, seriously. i am not even wanting to watch my taped Tempesta shows.. cuz i don't know what i'll do when i have no more... I will have some serious withdrawals.. lol)

SO... i URGE anyone that has ANY information on this.. .to let me know asap. please! it would be so so greatly appreciated. you have no idea. :))))))))))))))))))) .xoxoxoxox.

And........ that's pretty much all i have to say. Except for this next babble (feel free to skip this lame deep verbal vommit part.. now. hahaha)

School starts next week.. my birthday is coming up and Saturn (the planet of life lessons) will be finally leaving my sign from when it entered a year ago. And many lessons I have indeed learned this entire year. With my passport renewed, new beginnings and old tales buried far behind me.. I can finally begin to establish some kind of new life.. in a way.. for myself. I feel terrified of what life swings at me.. but excited and ready to take it all on. And so ready to welcome something completely new and brilliant my way. :))) Hooray for September. Hooray for me.

And ONWARD with yer Tempesta searches!!! Do not disappoint me people!!! *mUaH*

much love:

It's Summer Time.

Wow. It seems as if the entire summer has slipped past my fingers. I've been working my butt off with insane hours. Not taking out loans for school calls for some hefty pay outs lol but what gives me comfort is that I won't have to pay a cent to one damn person once I'm done. Though, I must say.. with the disgusting weather we've had for most of the summer.. I do not feel too badly about missing out on anything.

Though the summer was slow and severly lacking in excitement.. things slowly seem to be getting back into the normal groove. I guess it always works that way. Elena just came by and it was such a nice surprise! :)) I haven't seen her all year! Not since the lil' going away party we had for her a year ago. Although i think the most excitement that night was the dog humping my leg HAaaa. So, she's back now.. after a year of teaching in Korea. A lot of my friends have been doing stuff like this.. so, i've actually been kicking the idea around myself as an option for when I'm done school. Can't hurt, right? :)

I don't really have a whole lot to blog about.. haa. i just kinda missed spouting out crap onto the interwebs to share with the unknown world and of course my friends.

Things seem to be turning over a new leaf and I have a good feeling that it's going to be pretty alright straight ahead of me. Yep. Cuz I said so. and i know so. and that's how I roll... :)))

And since i just spent this precious space blabbering on about nothing.. i'm gunna go now and eat chips and dip while i watch tv like a lazy behotchie face. I have loads of my shows to catch up on. haaa. and i'll leave you with this most lufferly picture of one of my sweet angels. so you can swooOon over her cutie face too. dooo eeet!!! :))))



ciao.xoxox.
