MMVA Madness

MMVA's!

Aloha!!

It's officially SUMMER! Time to bust out the bikinis and BBQ's! This is my favourite time of the year where I am an official social butterfly and barely have anytime to chill. I feel like I have something planned every weekend, and I like it. I love when I am busy and when I have plans...I love getting the most out of life and feel like when I sit around I am wasting time. It must sound crazy, but I am young and have lots of energy and want to experience life to the fullest.

This past weekend were the Much Music Video Awards which I got to help work. It was fun checking everyone in (including some celebs). Just having bands come up and show me their driver's license was kind of funny. It kind of makes you remember that celebrities are regular people too, who still pay taxes, who still go to the bathroom and who still need to follow the rules with the rest of society. I was most excited to see Katy Perry, Down With Webster, Hedley and The Stereos at this year's award show. Too bad my faves Billy Talent were not there, because I would have loved to see them at the after party!! Oh well, maybe next year :)

So what's on tap for the rest of the summer?? Well....as far as I am aware....I SHOULD be moving out in August! I know, finally! I won't reveal too much details yet as nothing is set in stone....but I will keep you posted.

I am still doing my acting classes, they finish up pretty soon. After I am finished I will be able to join the agency and start auditioning for commercials. I am a little concerned though, as I am not sure how many auditions I will actually be able to do seeing as how I work full time. And I will need to somehow come up with some extra cash in order to pay for headshots. They are not cheap!! I know I will for sure need to get some part time gigs, maybe doing more promos, to help pay for things like this when I move out.

Anyways, that's all from me for now.

Later Loves

Summer in the City

Greetings!
So it's been awhile! Sorry I have been terribly busy this month with work, social events and family. It seems as though I am always very busy in the summer months. Every weekend I have something planned and while I enjoy being busy, sometimes I get very overwhelmed and all I really want to do is sleep!
This weather has been up and down, last week was very hot and this week has been rainy and cold. This past Sunday I did my Becel Ride for Heart! Unfortunately I didn't end up doing the full 50k, it was far too windy and rainy for me to continue. But I did 25k which I was really happy about! It wasn't that bad of a ride physically, just the rain ruined it for me. I mean, how often do you get to take your bike and ride along the Gardiner Expressway and DVP! Not everyday!! It was pretty incredible and I promise that I will ride again next year, raise even more money and finish the full 50k!!

In other news...I am hoping to move out this summer. I think it's time. I don't want to jinx it though. I know I've said in the past I was moving....but this time I feel it for real!!! If I can do a bike ride in the disgusting cold rain for 2 hours, I can move downtown. I think in my mind I am making it a bigger deal than it really is. Yes it will be challenging at first, but I will get the hang of it. Kind of the same thing as starting a new job....it's scary at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes comfortable. I think I just need to dive in and do it. It will take a lot of discipline that's for sure. I may even need an extra side job to support my extravagant lifestyle!!

Anywho, that's all for this post. Gotta go get me some sleep!!

Peace Love and Cocoa Puffs!

It's HOT!

Greetings!

I know I have been really bad at blogging this month, but I've been really busy!!! I promise I wasn't being neglectful. Today is the first day of June!!! And it's HOT! All week it's been scorching hot, in the 30 plus degrees! Last week I was in Vegas with some of my closest friends and we had the most amazing time. It was a great vacation that was definately needed. I love my friends more than anything, and I truly value their friendship. These are the friends I can talk to about anything, the friends that know me best and the friends that make me laugh until I cry. I took tons of pictures and am currently in the process of getting them all developed. We also did a cool video-blog while we were there with about 20 videos in total. Watching them after the trip was quite hilarious. I am hoping we can get it posted online sometime soon. I am really interested in getting a video camera now; they are so much cooler than regular cameras! A little machine that can document a piece of histroy, bit by bit, word for word, action by action....it's really one of the best inventions in my opinion and worth every penny.

I have posted a few of my photos from the trip here. While in Vegas we stayed at two hotels, MGM and Treasure Island. While MGM was really nice, I don't think I would stay there again. It was way too big (the 2nd largest hotel in the world might I add) and getting from Point A to Point B was such a mission. We could barely find seats by the pool it was that crazy.

Treasure Island was the best. I am biased though because of my fetish for pirates. There was an amazing Pirate show called "Sirens" that they perform 4 times a night!! It takes place on the pirate ship outside the hotel and includes singing and dancing from the pirates and wenches. What a cool job that must be!! I would love to do something like that for a living.

Since returning from Vegas, I've been hit with this nasty cold!! It's been awful, it's been a week and I am still sniffling! Who gets a cold in warm weather anyways?! Sheesh!!

All in all, Vegas was an amazing trip and I definately want to go back. There is so much to do and see that one trip is not enough, heck 3 trips aren't even enough! I think I will just keep visiting until I am old and wrinkled, still yanking on those slot machines. :)
