HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELLY!

This post comes about one month too late, but since both Nelly and I have been busy we should just pretend it's right on time!

So last month, on Friday 23rd was Nelly's 20th birthday (I know what an old cow, hahaha).

Being a wog she had to do a family thing on Friday so we all went to be there with her, and to have a bit to drink. And the celebration was just right for Nelly.

we all had a lot of fun, and we did something we dont usually do!

so here are some photos of Nellys house that night...

NOW I will talk about the REAL party!

The real party was on Sunday night! (Monday was ANZAC Day, so it was a public holiday). We went to three clubs and finished the night at the casino.

We started the night at 6, at Anglers in Maribyrnong.

This is like the best place on a Sunday night (the only thing that sucked this particular night was that it finished at 10pm). Anglers has the best music, and is always packed which is both a good and a bad thing!

After Anglers we headed to STARBAR. This was my first time at Star, but Nelly had been there before and told some of her friends to meet there!

That was a good place too. Though i wasnt a huge fan of the music, the boys were ok. LOL.

After STAR, we ended the club run with Plastic, which is where our friends were going to meet up with us, since we already had seen them at Anglers.

Plastic is not the kind of place you would imagine Nelly and me to go to. It's all dark and the music downstairs is completely SCREAMO! however, upstairs plays our kind of music. We only really go because our friends want to go.

So we were getting tired and we left Plastic aroung 2:30am, and we walked down to the Kebab place down the street. Where we had the most delicious Kebabs in Melbourne. Then we had to walk our friend "RICK" to Crown Casino because that's where our other friends were who were driving him home.

we got there at about 3:30 and waited for our friend Luke to finish his poker game. We ended up waiting there til about 5 in the morning.

Not bringing Cardigans on the coldest night so far this year was a huge mistake for Nelly, Caetlyn and me. As soon as we walked outside to grab a taxi all three of us were frozen. I honestly thought I was going to die from the cold. But we survived and managed to grab a taxi... with the most awesome Taxi driver in the world.

He was so gangsta (which isnt seen very often in Melbourne). He was pumping the music, and dancing. Though we did get a bit scared when he touched Nelly. We were like :O. however we got home safely at 5:30am and looked at the photos of the night and went to sleep at about 6am.

AND LOL, the highlight of that morning/night was when we were getting to sleep, Nelly said Goodnight, and literally five minutes later Caetlyn finally said goodnight back. Then i was already Asleep, and in like 5 minutes of my dream i tripped on a bucket and fell, and so I did the jump on the bed thing and scared poor Caetlyn who was in the bed with me. HAHAHAHAA. it was one of those you had to be there moments, so hard to explain with only words and no actions! LOL.

ok so here are the Sunday night photos...

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

Walking to the gates to get in :)

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!
