A Blast!!!

Friday, 22nd of September 2006, we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. It was a great party everyone's telling me. Or are they just being nice? Nah! I don't think so. The dancefloor was never empty. The number of performances that night was just enough. Not too much that it would bore the hell out of the guests. The food was great apparently. Lastly, the service from Grand Star Reception was the best. I won't hesitate recommending them to anyone.

Final Rehearsal

Yesterday was the last time my daughter and the rest of the cotillon dancers were having rehearsal. I think they're ready. Not perfect but good enough. They're not professionals nor this is a paid performance. Just something traditional to throw into the party. Wait! I think my pocket has a hole!

Vanny's Farewell

Had lunch at this fancy restaurant called Waterfront yesterday. Excellent view, food is average and the price is ummm... well, let's just say I won't go there if I'm paying.

The company gave us a butget of $50-$60 each and there's five of us. Guess what the final bill is? $490. I know nothing!

Wednesdays

This is my routine every Wednesday. I'm the one picking up Jules after school to take him to the dance studio. On the way to the studio we always stop by McDonalds for a 6 nugget happy meal and we enjoy eating that in the car.

NIGHT is over. Welcome a new DAY.

Went to see a movie on Tuesday called Lady In The Water by that dude who created The Sixth Sense. I loved his movie The Sixth Sense but I think it was a fluke for him. All movies he's done after that are to me, below average. I'm stopping short of saying they suck. That's probably because I want to reserve that for this movie "Lady...". I didn't have any idea what the movie was about. I thought it'd be a horror type film. However, midway through the movie, I couldn't figure out whether I should look at this as a suspense/horror or children's adventure type of movie. I want a refund!

Best of Friends

I had to pick up Jules and his bestfriend Daniel after school on Monday because there's no one available to do it. On the way up there I thought about taking some photos. Besides, the kids would enjoy it since they get to hang around longer at the oval. Had a few shots that I liked but the one photo that struck me when I looked at them on my PC was this shot of Jules and Daniel. Somehow to me I see something very sweet and emotional here. These two boys are very close to each other. Best of friends.

Practice makes perfect...

While my kids are out training for their Groove performance. I thought of going for a drive and look for a spot where I could take good photos. Problem was it was so cloudy and cold that day that I couldn't really stay long outside to shoot.

Groove Melbourne Finals Preparation

I just finished the mix that Urban Force will use at the Groove Melbourne Finals on the 30th of this month. Gave it to them on Saturday and they started making up routines for it. Good luck kids!

Urban Force @ Raw Sounds

Big night last night. My two kids who are members of Urban Force did a showcase performance last night at Raw Sounds 2006 in Melbourne. My daughter Jesi competed at the seniors category and won 2nd runner up. Not bad considering she never had any formal singing training.
