hmmm . . . wow, i haven't posted for agggeessss. lol.

let's see. i've been really busy, so that's the main reason I haven't been able to post. the other reason is when i do get the chance to post, i just can't be bothered. LOL.

Anyway, Flight 29 Down has ended, yes, for a long time now, lol, but i haven't posted since then. I'm not too bothered about it. i've pretty much moved on now. I have the whole series on dvd but i just cant be bothered watching it now.

i've moved onto other stuff now. I'm really addicted to this Australian Drama/Soapie called Home && Away. Most of you probably don't know about it, but I'm addicted to it.

so, i've been working on a heap of avatars lately. mainly because the new forum i go on doesn't allow you to have images in your signature. so i've just been making a lot of avatars to post on that forum. check them out here and let me know what you think.

so, that's about it. not much really but there's not much else to say.

so, bye for now.

At twenty-two years of age, despite a career already full of successes, Delta Goodrem is now back with a new perspective on her own career. Following her two massively successful albums - 'Innocent Eyes' (2003) and 'Mistaken Identity' (2004), which spawned a quick succession of hit singles on the Australian and international charts (most notably topping the charts in the UK and Japan) - Delta took a break from the intense media scrutiny to find time to breathe again and discover a new way forward. "There were a lot of things going on in my life, and I felt a lot of pressure of as a result of the attention I was receiving. Whilst I was grateful for all the support I received, it was a very strange experience for me to live out a lot of personal issues that I faced. I felt it was really important to shed a lot of that baggage and embrace the future. I needed to make some changes and bring the focus of attention back to my music," she says earnestly.

Moving away from Australia to the UK, Delta began to shed some of the layers that she had built up over the years under the spotlight of public attention, and in doing so began a transition from her slightly sheltered existence into that of a woman with a career, a relationship, and her own identity. This growth and new beginning is reflected in her new album, simply titled 'Delta'. The album is a collection of twelve 'songs' - in the truest sense of the word - dealing with life, love, and relationships, reflecting both her own life and those of the people around her. "A lot of the words from the songs can be quite deep, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are always about my life. There are songs on this album which have nothing to do with my own personal experience of events, but which are still honest and emotional, and which tell a great story. A lot of people read into my lyrics and think they know me completely from them, but I'm not always as transparent as people might think."

With a refreshed energy and new vitality, Delta began work on her third studio album in 2006, but she only found the right path in December that year after many sessions with some of the world's best songwriters and producers. "The turning point came with the album's opening song 'Believe Again'. Before that I was feeling a little unsure about the direction of the new album. That song really turned things around for me in a lot of different ways."

With her new album, Delta wants to break down the complexities and the baggage that surrounds her public image. "When I think back to it now, 'Mistaken Identity' was complicated. but then I was complicated at the time - I was hurt, I was in pain, and that was exactly what the record was about. I don't want this record to be complicated. I don't want to come back like that - I want to be free-spirited. I am different now, in the sense that I've grown and I feel much more independent."

Delta is very proud of this new album and feels it's a great representation of where and who she is at the moment, "It feels like I've turned the corner and everything in front of me is super-exciting, and I'm just looking forward to people hearing my music again."

Aly & AJ is a teen pop duo consisting of sisters Alyson Renae "Aly" Michalka and Amanda Joy "AJ" Michalka. They were born in Torrance, California, but spent part of their childhood in Seattle, Washington. They are both actresses, singer-songwriters, and guitarists.

Aly and AJ have had an interest for music since they were very young. "I think it started when we were three and five. Just singing in church together and in school plays," Aly said. That later moved onto just AJ as Aly started to act very early, when AJ was nine years old. The sisters both live in a gated community in Calabasas, California with their parents. Their mother, Carrie Michalka, used to sing in a Christian group called "J.C. Band", Alyson also had a starring role in Phil of the Future on the Disney Channel alongside Ricky Ullman.

Aly & AJ's debut album, Into the Rush, went Platinum as of May 2007. The song "No One" was featured in the Disney motion picture Ice Princess. The song "Do You Believe In Magic", written and originally recorded by The Lovin' Spoonful, added a rock edge. This cover was used in the soundtrack of the made-for-TV Disney Channel original movie, Now You See It..., in which Alyson held the starring role of Allyson. Also, their cover of Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" was used in the Walt Disney motion picture Herbie: Fully Loaded. They have been involved in various Walt Disney Records projects, some of which are covers. These include soundtracks and compilations, and are primarily "Rush". "Rush" has been featured on the Disney Channel Original Movie, Twitches, and on many other soundtracks and compilations from Walt Disney and Hollywood Records.

The album was re-released in August 2006 with three new songs, including the hit, "Chemicals React". It was released with an all new cover and was the group's second CD to be released in the UK physically.

On September 19, 2006, Aly & AJ were nominated for "Contemporary Inspirational Artist of the Year" (also known as Christian Artist of the Year) for the 2006 American Music Awards, which were held on November 21, 2006. They did not take home the award. Gospel R&B artist Kirk Franklin took the award for his first time instead. Besides being nominated for an award, they introduced Nelly Furtado's performance of her new song, "Say It Right", along with 2006's Dancing With the Stars runner-up Mario Lopez.

On September 26, 2006, their album, Acoustic Hearts of Winter, was released. On this album, Aly & AJ perform traditional Christmas songs, including "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night", as well as original songs, "Greatest Time of Year" and "Not This Year".

On May 8, 2007, they released a brief clip of their new single called "Potential Breakup Song". The full song is currently available for request on Radio Disney, and available for download on iTunes as part of their new album, Insomniatic. The album was released on July 10, 2007. Time magazine named "Potential Breakup Song" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #9. Writer Josh Tyrangiel singled out the lyrics in the bridge: "This is the Potential Breakup Song/ Our album needs just one/ Oh baby please", and praised the authenticity of its having been written by the teenage sisters who sing it.[5][6]

On November 28 2007, Ami Suzuki released a new version of "Potential Breakup Song", produced by Japanese DJ and musician SUGIURUMN, featuring a collaboration with Aly & AJ. Ami, alongside the girls, performed a live version of the song on Japanese television.

In December 2007, Aly & AJ replaced the Jonas Brothers as the opening act for the extension of the Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds Tour from January 11th - January 24th. Also before the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie, Minutemen, they released a music video of "Like Whoa (Remix)".

Billboard also confirmed the girls are working on a third studio album, to be released at the end of 2008 or early 2009, aside from the films they both are filming.

Coulter was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and moved with her father and mother Loretta to Queensland, Australia when she was 3 weeks old. In Queensland, her younger sister Jodie was also born. She developed a keen passion for playing netball and came close to playing for Australia. A serious knee injury however took away the chance of furthering her netball career. Coulter soon discovered her singing ability and auditioned for the Seven Network's unsuccessful Popstars Live reality talent program, making the Top 60. She then auditioned for the second series of Australian Idol where she became a crowd and judge favourite. The majority of Coulter's performances gained praise from the judges, but she made a shock early exit, after a controversial rendition of a Beatles cl@assic and finished in seventh place.

Unlike many popular contestants who sign with Sony BMG, Coulter signed with large independent label Shock Records and released her debut single "Hell No!" in June 2005. The single, written in collaboration with Audius Mtawarira, peaked at number 5. Second single "Sunshine" also went Top 10, with the debut album Ricki-Lee debuting at number 30. In 2006, Coulter joined other previous female contestants of Australian Idol, Paulini Curuenavuli, Emily Williams, and Kate DeAraugo, to form Young Divas. Their first single "This Time I Know It's For Real", a remake of the Donna Summer 1989 song, was a major success, reaching number 2 on the Australian charts, while the self titled album reached number 4 and was certified double platinum. On June 23, 2007, Coulter officially announced she would be leaving the group. After months of rumours and speculation of infighting, she stated that she was leaving to focus on her upcoming wedding and her solo career and that "I just couldn't do it all - I really had to get back to doing what I love doing, and that's my solo career."

In 2005, the self-titled album Ricki-lee hits the stores. Both sinlges, "Hell No!", released June 2005 and "Sunshine" made it to the charts, "Hell No!" coming in at number 5 and "Sunshine" at number 10. The debut album debuting at number 30.

Coulter is currently enjoying the success of the release of her new single "Can't Touch It", which debuted at number 2 in the ARIA Charts on August 13, her highest peak position for any single, and number 5 on the iTunes music store and on October 2nd it achieved Gold Status through ARIA. Her second solo album, entitled Brand New Day was released on August 11 and entered the Motorola ARIA Chart at number 37. The album has been re-released with a bonus second CD - her first album Ricki-Lee. Her second single from the album was Love Is All Around. It debuted at number 5, making it the second highest new entry for the week after Kylie Minogue.

The Jonas Brothers make up of Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas. They released their first album, It's About Time on August 6, 2006. They released their second album, Jonas Brothers, on August 7, 2007. In the band, Joe sings the lead vocals, plays guitar and percussion, Nick also sings the lead vocals and plays keyboard guitar and Kevin plays guitar and does backing vocals.

They are mostly known for their two amazing albums. But later on in the year their new movie "Camp Rock" will be hitting the Disney Channel, and also their new TV series, J.O.N.A.S, is in the middle of production right now. Looks like these boys are gonna get way bigger all around the world!

The "Jonas Brothers" Album

Talk about something for everyone: In "S.O.S." they attack a fierce dance-rock groove, while in "Hello Beautiful" they go soulful and acoustic. "Games" rides a laidback reggae groove the Police would envy, then switches gears into a zippy Ramones-styyle rave-up. "Hollywood" pairs a tricky funk beat with divebombing guitar lines," and "When You Look Me in the Eyes" builds to a power-ballad crescendo. In "Goodnight and Goodbye," the album's most ambitious cut, they combine Warped Tour-styyle punk with musical-theatre trimmings inspired by Nick's years on Broadway in Les Misérables and Beauty and the Beast. Throughout the album, the boys reflect on a variety of emotional hardships without losing their grip on the positive vibe that underpins all their music."This album is so us," says Joe. "The first one was us kind of coming into what the Jonas Brothers could be," Kevin adds. "Whereas this one really shows off where we're at right now." The youngest Jonas but perhaps the wisest, Nick concludes thus: "We love what we're doing and we want to do it for a while."

Along with touring with Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus in the Best of Both Worlds tour, they've also peforming on the AMA's, Disney Channel Games, CBS and many other events/TV shows. They're also on their own tour at the moment, the "Look Me In The Eyes" Tour and are about to start off on their "Burning Up" Tour. They've also featured in the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3-D Movie.

Their newest untitled CD is due out August 12.

CD To Be Released Here In Australia Feb. 23rd!

Yay! I thought they'd never release it here! But February 23rd is the date set. And apparently someone up in Townsville heard "SOS" on the radio. That's so cool! So I hope that on the 23rd i can convince my mum I "need to go the shops". I'm so excited. I hope they put up a put picture of their album cover.

In other news, my sister thought it would be funny to ask the guys I like if he likes me, he said not the hurt my feeling, but no, he doesn't like me. But we talked about it and we're okay. I'm meant to be seeing him tonight when all my friends and I get together. But now we're both gonna go kill my sister together...kidding!

So, that's pretty much it...yes, my life is boring sometimes...

Omg...I went to Hilary's Dignity Concert the other night...and it was amazing! The show was just pectacular, and she looked absolutely great! And, she had amazing back-up dancers...here's the story...

________________

5:30pm

We left home and picked up our cousin, Sharnni, who was excited for her first ever concert...and she's already 18...heheSo, my mum drove us over to the Entertainment center. My sister and I took some photos in the car...of ourselves...hehe.6:10pmWe arrived at about 6:10pm and we walked towards the front stairs. There, we brought some souvenirs. I got a phone charm, a signed photo and a light stick. Then we walked up to the front door, where the security guards checked our bags for cameras. then we headed inside. Inside, I got a tour book, a singlet, a cap and some food. =P then we got a photo of us standing in front of the sign for Hil's new perfume Wrapped With Love. (photos below)Then, we waited and waited for the doors to open into the stadium. Apparently there was a technical problem. But we heard Hilary practising inside...hehe.

7:25pm

The doors finally opened everyone just pushed towards it. When we got inside, the stadium was amazing! There was a cuirtan oven in front of the stage but with just 1-2 meters hanging out for the support act. One of the attendants showed us ours seats, and when we realised where we were actually sitting, we were gobsmacked! We were about 9 rows behind, right in front of the stage! Here's a pic I took on my phone...you can see the mic stand above that womans head =P

7:30pm

Hilary's sipport act, Ricki-Lee, came on and everyone cheered. She sang about half a dozens songs from her album, but did some other one's like Umbrella and such...here's a photo my mumsnuck in of her...it's really bright though...

8:00pm

Hilary finally came on and the crowd just went absolutely wild! She started with Play With Fire, which was absolutely awesome! That's all I can say, she was awesome! here's another photo my mum snuck in...again, really bright...

So, overall, I had a great time! I'd definetly go again. Only problem was, my ears were ringing by the end, and my voice was hoarse

School starts tomorrow...

...and I start year 9 this year

I hope it's not gonna be as hard as I think it's gonna be...but at the same time I'm excited...caus it means I'm 14 this year! haha.

But, instead of whinging about school in my blog, I'm gonna talk about the happy things. I go to my Hilary concert in 4 days...and Ricki-Lee is her opening act, and I love her too so it's a bonus...

Today, actually, in 50 mins I'm going to my besties house caus they have a swimming pool, and it's so stinkin' hot today...O.o And we thought we'd catch up before school starts again.

So, that's about it for now...

ttyl!

xx

Well, not years, but it seems like it.

I've been pretty busy, and I haven't bothered turning on the computer lately...but, I jumped on today despite feeling like crap.

I went shopping yesterday and used my Saving Card for the first time. It's kinda like a credit card but I can only use the money I have in my account. So I bought 2 tops anda pair of leggings. Then I had some Tuna Sushi, which my mum paid for.

And last Saturday night my Uncle and his GF came around for a BBQ and they brought their dog Molly. She kinda looked like Ashley dog, Blondie, but Molly had black a brown on her. So, my uncle works at a technology store, you know, where they sell TV's and stuff, and he said he's try and get us a deal for Guitar Hero.

Also, the Saturday before that, two of my best friends (they're brothers)and their family came arounjd for a BBQ too. We had soo much fun, mainly because we're all really crazy. Anyway, we played pool, then had dinner, then played on the PS. Thenone of the guys, Micah,went outside for a moment and found a stray cat on the road. Luckily we live one of the backstreets so their were no cars. But their were fireworks nearby and it must've scared the cat and it followed the neighbours home. So wewalked down to where the fireworks were, and Casey started making the cat dance toNuma Numaand then we letthe catrun off. Then we walked back home and Micah started doing the rain dance. So, we had a good time.

Sadly, the school holidays are almost over for me. We start back again on the 29th, in a week, so, I'm gonna try make the best of it But at leats I still have the Hilary Duff concert to go to, which is in 9 days. I so excited

That's pretty much it for now, I'll blog soon...

Crushing and Being Crush-ed

Well, I don't know how many of you have crushes, or boyfriends, or girlfriends...or on the other hand, have had a break-up or have been crush-ed. But, it's happened to me...actually, I've never had a boyfriend before, but I have had a crush...and curently have one...

The first crush I ever had, was in preschool...and he turned out to be a moron. Second one, same story...except that he totally freaked me out with all the presents he bought me...

But I have had a lot more than that...

But the hardest thing is keeping it a secret. I know in Grade 5, me and my best friend both had a crush on the same guy. I told her I liked him, then one day she told him. I was mortified and tried to deny it, but he knew it was true...the worst thing was...it was in front of all my other friends...O.o

But I think the best thing to do when you have a crush is don't tell anyone. The only person I've told is obviously my mum. But then my sister found out, so I told not to tell anyone or she'd be dead meat... One of my friends knows too...she thinks he likes me back...That makes me even more scared...

But, I wanted to know if any of you bloggers have a crush/boyfriend/girlfriend or have been heart-broken/crushed...

Don't freak, you don't have to tell me who you like...just answer the question up there...

TTYL!

Hey bloggers!

Hannah Montana

Love or Loathe?

I wouldn't say I loathe her, she just get on my nerves a lot.

Reason?

Well, after watching "Hannah Montana" a miillion times (and after my mum mentioned it) I have come to realise that, I think, the way she acts,is soo like Hilary Duff.

Don't gte me wrong, I love Hilary. So that's why Hannah gets on my nerves. Because she's trying to be Hilary.

Let me point out a couple of things..ahem...

Have you ever noticed Hannah's hair? It's so similar to the way Hilary had hers towards the end of Lizze McGuire...example:

Fringe? Blonde? Streaks? Yeah? You following me?

Another thing...

Have you ever noticed Hannah drummer? Dark-skinned, female?

Just like Hilary...

Trust me, I have all the respect in the world for Hannah fans. It just annoys me that everyone thinks she the best singer and actor out there.

Well, I think I made me point...moving on now...

I went tothe beach yesterday...and now I look like a tomato! I guess that's what you get when you put sunscreen on every part of your body except for your face, upper-back and sholders...

But I had fun...that's the most important part.

And last night, I watched the Simpsons movie for the first time. It was sooo funny! I loved it!

And...

The other day I went and saw the Game Plan in theatres...I loved that too! Lauren was so funny! Even though she did only have a small part.

So anyways, I'm gonna stop rambling now...

Wow, how long is this blog??? O.o

OMJ..finally! I finished my schoolwork...

I got everything out of the way this morning, all the tests are done and now I don't have to worry about waking up early for school anymore...

So, I've been working on some new graphics, as you might have noticed already...I made a new blog header, a new Banner, a new Personal Image, a new Sig/Avi set and...um...at the same time I made the "school's out! scream and shout!" banner i put at the top of this post...hehe

Oh! And the other day Nickelodeon had a Flight 29 Down Marathon. Season 1 on Saturday and Season 2 on Sunday. They finally told us when they're playing the movie...it's today (Tues) in Sarvo at 3pm...in one hour actually...i don't know if I'll watch it. I'll probably watch the 4th part or something That's my fave part of the whole thing...or maybe Part 3 and 4...idk...lol

Oh well, that;s pretty much it

TTYL!

Summer Holidays!

What time is it? Summer time! It's our vacation!

Hey!

I just found something so good. I searched Johnny Pacar and Kristy Wu in Google images and it came up with something from Yahoo! Answers; here it is:

I thought it was pretty funny...tell me what you think...
