This month’s addiction is…

ONE TREE HILL.

You may remember last month, or even the month before I professed my addiction to Gilmore Girls.

Well, as upset as I was that I finished the series I quickly moved on to the next show I hadn’t watched yet.

One Tree Hill, was that show for me this month. It took me a long time to get into it since you know I had already seen most of the first season, so watching it again was a bit of a bore. But after I started to watch some episodes I hadn’t seen before I got so addicted that I haven’t gone to bed without watching at least 4 episodes a night. (This actually isn’t so great when you have to wake up early for work everyday)

At the moment I am up to season 4, and I have only watched the first disc.

But this season looks like it is going to be very interesting, and I cant wait to see how things will be resolved!

I would love to hear what you are watching at the moment? Can you suggest for me a show to start when I have finished OTH and Big Bang?

JAM/SUPAFEST

Hey all

So as I mentioned on Wednesday’s post, Nelly and I went to Supafest with our friends.

 The line up for Supafest was:


Eve
Jay Sean
Sean Paul
Pitbull
Kelly Rowland
Akon


A quick review probably wouldn’t mean much to you, but I am going to give you one anyway


Eve – was ok, just average if you ask me. And I hated that all her songs were being cut short, didn’t allow me to get in the mood.


Jay Sean – another average performer. And only sang two songs, was pointless timing wise.


Sean Paul – OWNED IT! I mean I would have gone just for him, he was so good. And he has so many songs that I just LOVE. So, for most of the time that he was on I was dancing and jumping and having an all round good time :) ahhh, I still can’t believe I have seen him live. He sounded exactly the same. Even though our spots didn’t have the best hearing!


Pitbull - another really good one. He is an AMAZING!!!! Dancer! Seriously, I would go to his concert just to watch him dance. And he knows how to work the crowd! And of course we all went “Krazy” to his music.


Kelly Rowland – other than the fact that she could only sing like two of her own songs she was amazing. I loved he costume, and I am pretty sure it is Armani, but I am not for sure so please do not take my word for it!! my only problem with her was that she was singing Destiny’s Child music, when I really wanted her to come out of that shell. I don’t think Beyonce would sing Destiny’s Child at a concert! But I loved when she sang Work, Dilemma and When Love Takes over. And did I mention how good she looked? A-FREAKIN-MAZING!


Akon – very much about the show, mister Akon is. He had the crowd screaming for his attention almost the whole night. And you know what he was worth it. He sounds so good too. (Though I do have a suspicion about him Lip-syncing. Shame.) There were short videos, and a lot of crowd work. And I believe that he also provided us with the most to talk about when singing Beautiful (dedicated to us Melbournians) he decided to crowd surf and then nearly cried when the crowd wouldn’t let go of him! One girl like nearly broke his neck. And when he tried to make his way back to the stage people wouldn’t let him go, and so he had to stop the music and tell them all to move and to “DO NOT PULL DOWN MY UNDIES” which was hilarious!


Overall a good night, even though there was some rainfall, and we didn’t have the best spots, and we couldn’t hear the DJ and there were wayyyy too many underage people there. LOL. I just think it says something that despite all that we were still able to have a good time!


So here are the photos you are looking for in this post :P

My Aunties' Trip to Australia 2010

As I mentioned in the last post two of my Aunties, who live in Italy, came for a month long visit to Australia.

These Aunties are my mothers sisters. So for the first time in 25 years there were 3 Aparo sisters in Australia at the same time. Of course I couldnt say all because my mums other sister didnt come down.

For my zia Teresa this was her second time back here, as she came for a visit in 2003 for my confirmation (she is my godmother).
But for Zia Rita this was the first time she has been back to the country she was born in since she first moved away when she was about 10.

As you can imagine a lot has changed in that time that they have not been here. And the change that impacted them the most was how big teh family has become. With all the brothers having had kids, those kids grown up and now even they have kids.
the family has tripled since they first left.

Anyways thats enough about my family. Here are some photos of what we got up to while they were here...
enjoy!

Dinner on Mt Alexander Road

I just woke-up so dont tease the make up free face.

This is just me and my sister, we ate outside and missed the show when everyone started to fight!

So those photos are as good as its getting for now haha!

WEDDING :)

Hello my chickens!!

So this comes like two months late but I thought I would share with you some photos of my cousins wedding that I attended in Feb.

I am actually not very close with this cousin, and I actually dont speak to this side of my Mums family anymore. But, I managed to have myself a good time - thanks to the win that would automatically be re-filled in my glass.

On my table I was sitting with the cousins that we actually get along with so it wasnt so bad. At least we had people to talk to all night, and we made fun of all the old people and their dancing haha! Respectfully of course :)

I wore my favourite Zac Posen for Target dress, that absolutely adore for its simplicity and sophistication. It is classic Black, and the only non-maxi dress i have that goes past my knee. Worn with nude Tony Bianco's and my mums vintage bag from the 80's.
But my favourite part of my look was my Chanel Bright Red Lipstick.

Anyways i will stop boring you with the details and show you some photos...

Anthony Rocca was in attendance, so we snapped a pic :)

My cousins Daughter Alessia, neice to the bride- and one of three flower girls!

My douchie brother.

My parents with the Bride and Groom.

Also - just want to apologise for the poor quality of some of these photos!

Me with one of my favourite cousins Robert :)

Some of my mums brothers and sisters. (a few missing- like 7)

Me with my Godmother, who came from Italy for the wedding.

Me with my god-daughter (I was the sponsor at her confirmation)

My lovely cousin Tina and I.

The Barbagallo sisters.

And now close up (i had a bit to drink at this stage so excuse the douchie look!)

And now the first generation - Zia Teresa, Mum and Zia Rita.

My aunties came from Italy for the wedding, and stayed with us while they were here. It made my mum very happy to see her sisters after we went there 4 years ago.

Some crazy-kiddy group shots :)

Tina and I with our Tropical Wines... yes we put Strawberries in them :P

And the last photo of the night, me with my cousin Con. (yes Con and Connie, ha ha, get over it)

OK so that was pretty much the whole night in one post :)

hope you enjoyed the post and the little insight into my family life.

 

I will post again soon, i hope :)
