I know, I know. The WORST excuse ever... but an excuse none the less! :)<div><br /></div><div>So this week was jammed packed with awesomeness in the states and of course, I'm here chilling (working really hard) in Australia without American television to catch any of the goodness on tv...</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's what I've missed:</div><div><br /></div><div>NEW YORK FASHION WEEK .. ugh. The clothes are to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">die</span> for. I am a big fan of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/whitneyEVEport">Whitney Port</a>'s newest collection and one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta debuted her (questionably terrible) line a few days ago. Ah, the good, the bad AND the ugly! </div><div><br /></div><div>MTV VIDEO AWARDS. Seriously, I love this stuff. I've been a fan of MTV for... well my entire life! and I've watch pretty much all of the award ceremonies. Evidently I missed an amazing one because Kanye was a b*tch and stole the limelight from Taylor Swift. Golden. Who else would storm the stage and proclaim someone else as the best? Only Kanye. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZvaSaeFMCy8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZvaSaeFMCy8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre;font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;"><br /></span></div><div>Hmm... I know there was something else happening that I was sad to have missed any converge on, but it seems to have escaped my mind at the moment! </div>Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-23568081939632711692009-08-20T01:17:00.000-07:002009-08-20T01:37:57.010-07:00Oh, The Places You'll Go!<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1199/706701237_e7458ec575.jpg" /><br /></div><br />It's been ages since I've updated and for once I have a great excuse-- I moved to <a href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q=Surfers+Paradise&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=au&ei=YwqNSo2QH4b6kAXExdHFDA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1">Australia</a>! I've been talking about it for a while and I finally decided to go back to school to get a Masters! Hello, Grad school life (goodbye any sort of money I had saved...)<br /><br /> I really should have taken picture of me packing because it was probably the funniest/ worst thing I have ever done. I wanted to take my entire wardrobe but that was a little over the 90 pound limit (turns out that is not really that much weight). I impressed myself when I fit in many (many) clothes, makeup, accessories, several purses, 3 books, sheets, blanket, duvet, a pillow AND 13 pairs of shoes!<br /><br />I moved from a country with 4 distinct season to a country that gets hot, hotter and dead hot! eek! I'm really not used to heat like this and my clothes are not really heat appropriate. It's the middle of winter and I'm hot wearing my jeans. Apparently it's only going to get hotter from now on... uh oh! This may be my one chance for a tan-- ever! :)<div><br /></div><div>On to the better things: Before I left I picked up a sweater from Bootlegger. I will take a picture because it's my new favourite piece of clothing and I wear it all the time! A friend of mine owned it and I borrowed it in NYC (and accidently left it at <a href="http://www.sushisamba.com">Sushisamba</a> and had to take a taxi back in the morning to get it... oh, good nights in the City!) It's great for throwing on for an evening out or the class in the morning! (really, must find a picture)</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been here for about 6 weeks now (I know, I know... I should have updated before this) and I have bought one purse. Nothing else. Can you imagine going weekS without buying anything? Yah, me neither. It hurts. I need to avoid the many (MANY) malls in the area and leave my cards at home... sad. BUT in the end I'll be a Master of Media! It'll all be worth it in the end! </div><div><br /></div><div>Off to find a job. Must be able to buy clothes and travel! </div><div><br /></div><div>x.</div><div>S<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-78773624980018263822008-12-15T10:46:00.000-08:002008-12-15T10:50:32.533-08:00Work clothes...Who doesn't love clothes? I certainly love clothes! <br /><br />I have a new job that requires me to wear navy scrubs and white shoes. Have you ever tried to find white shoes in the middle of winter? It's quite a feat, let me tell you! I also don't look nearly as cute in all navy as I do in my other work outfits! haha oh well. The upside, I am saving loads on not having to buy "work clothes"!! yay!Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-88257341675426642372008-11-16T18:36:00.000-08:002008-11-16T18:47:46.005-08:00Shopping, again.I think I have an addiction to shopping! This weekend was suppose to be full of cleaning and laundry and all those fun things I hate doing during the week but instead, I went out in the freeing snow-rain to go shopping! It was sooo chilly and I wore flats... foolish (but stylish!) and had my cute (but broken) leopard print umbrella in hand...<br /><br />After 3 hours, I purchased a great coat for.... well, for no occasion really. It's not warm (it's actually quite deceivingly chilly), but it's super super cute with a great neckline that can fold up or down, fun buttons and a belt!! I couldn't pass it up. It's sad that the majority of my regrets in life are based on pieces I didn't buy!!<br /><br />Secondly I picked up a great dress by <a href="http://www.only.com/">ONLY</a> called the "Mad Party Dress". It's got a sweetheart neckline with a zipper up the front in black almost sweatpant like material. Comfy and cute. I Love it.<br /><br />It may not seem like a lot, but I neglected to write about the other stuff I bought last week! A cute black skirt, a few tops, summer dresses (I couldn't resist!)... opps!<br /><br />I may be poor, but I'll be stylish!<br /><br />Yours in super cute new clothes,<br />S. <br /><br />**pictures come soon!Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-24967896120634325182008-10-24T08:14:00.001-07:002008-10-24T08:14:57.372-07:00I am a geek.Have you seen this:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QCyfKWu4YQ0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QCyfKWu4YQ0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Amazing!Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-26733301142932544882008-10-24T07:51:00.000-07:002008-10-24T07:59:43.837-07:00HALLOWE'EN!!!-- "u r lamerz like Paris Hilton"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYYg9Ko3Ps0OMnLnPpVtvSgVt_y3MNnUdX1zmSMV-K-WP5wLhP3O4cFRyyd7OzYbzzn74MdkU3yuvIqkcQ24Ab-fdwxRgAY9qDR8oG-wQ14VX8bU9FxkatI4SOBXTDxQJaJfYGCEu_yY/s1600-h/1791870446_329fd90079_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYYg9Ko3Ps0OMnLnPpVtvSgVt_y3MNnUdX1zmSMV-K-WP5wLhP3O4cFRyyd7OzYbzzn74MdkU3yuvIqkcQ24Ab-fdwxRgAY9qDR8oG-wQ14VX8bU9FxkatI4SOBXTDxQJaJfYGCEu_yY/s200/1791870446_329fd90079_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260735269646600994" /></a><br /><br />Hallowe'en is nearly here and as per usual, I have no idea what I am going to be!!!<br /><br />This might be my favourite so far on my search! --- nothing I would ever be, but hilarious!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE???????Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-24670739566032947412008-10-24T07:42:00.001-07:002008-10-24T07:51:02.982-07:00Smile with your eyes...I'm not usually home during the day... but today I got a day off work and that means catching up on all the shows I never get to watch! Yay! <br /><br />This morning I watched the Tyra Show. Generally I get my Tyra fix via America's Next Top Model (which is probably enough Tyra for one week) but I opted to watch MAKEOVERS with Beyonce's mum on Tyra Show today! Love it!

She was totally right, and today is the perfect day to post again.<br /><br />This is what you have been missing:<br /><br />1. Homecoming is in one week! Where did September go? I think it was the beginning of summer, then I blinked and it's nearly October-- it's like a big blur of weekend (except I've been working during that time...)! Back to homecoming for one moment-- I'm super excited about the beer gardens and seeing loads of people I haven't seen for ages!! YAY! <br /><br />2. The count down the Australia has begun-- I had the days, but I forget now! A few months anyway, but still exciting! and I have a few Oz vacation destinations to visit too! YAY!<br /><br />3. I have met a great group of friends through a Uni friend. Last weekend was great, Fri was fun and Sat we went to see live music! (ohhh la la-- you best ask about this!) and we definitely need to go see them again!!! I miss weekends like that, makes me think of school and many nights at the Pig! <br /><br />4. My Fashion Finds---<br /><br />This weekend was AMAZING for great fashion finds. It started with finding a James Perse dress for $6-- and $84 dress for $6. Yes, please! Its super cute, summery, a slate/ greenish colour perfect for hot (Australia) summer days! annnd on top of that, it can be worn with boots for a more fall look! Love it! <br /><br />Then, last weekend I tired on a super cute plain hoody in purple at the mall. It was $40. I should have bought it, but I didn't... then this weekend I went back and got it! The last one left. Ah ha. It was meant to be. Who doesn't love a new comfy hoody? (That was a silly question, EVERYONE loves a new comfy hoody!!) <br /><br />THEN I found a FENDI bag. It was unmarked (price wise) but I couldn't stop looking at it. I found this consignment shop just outside of town (its the kind of shop where people who can afford fendi bags drop off stuff) Who doesn't love that? Anyway, the bag needs a little love (nothing a little buffing couldn't get rid of) and it's perfect. Tons of room, the Fendi "F's". Real. SOLD! Ahhh... my first real Fendi (breathe, must breathe) <br /><br />5. I managed to watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128853/">You've Got Mail</a> twice! I love that movie for several reasons, including but not limited to: it's divine location of Manhattan, my love of books and jealously of the Little Shop Around the Corner, the love connection strengthened though AOL mail, the old school Macbook, the fact my computer has never once told me "You've Got Mail"... oh the list goes on and on... it's just so cute. It's like the warm feeling that the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/">Love Actually</a> gives you... ahhh....<br /> <br />So all in all a good past few weeks!! --- Have you been up to anything fun lately???Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-49048673480494620192008-09-17T19:02:00.000-07:002008-09-17T19:08:29.764-07:00I need an internship!I've been thinking lately that I really need some kind of internship that will give me insight into potential careers.

It's a lot different than <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Facebook</span> which is way too personal--you need to know people to add them (or else it's 'creepy') and it requires way too much information. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Myspace</span> is all about adding random people, looking for new music, reading up on people's latest projects...<br /><br />I think my favourite part is the blogs. Many celebrities use them to update the masses:<br /><br />Since I just saw him-- <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=897294">Jack Johnson</a> ... any chance to listen to him sing is good enough for me. Plus he has links to all the other artists on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Brushfire</span> Records!<br /><br />Check out <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=12612098">DJ AM </a>...he posts new music all the time!<br /><br />Even Tom Hanks has one (which you can check <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=190658759">here</a>) where he enlightening you on his summer readings...<br /><br />Chances are your favorite artist, actor, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">activists</span>, political etc. has one! So in the height of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Facebook</span>, don't forgot about the wonders of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Myspace</span>.Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-35302916597379286242008-08-08T19:26:00.001-07:002008-08-08T19:27:54.490-07:00Good Reason...I've been neglecting posts for the last few days due to a death in the family.

If not, the Nephrology Journal Club is a great excuse to go to fancy restaurants (all different ones around thec city) and eat copious amounts of food that someone making as little pay as I do, can not afford (and you listen to a few talks-- minor details). Delicious, amazing, FREE food. SOLD.<br /><br />Tonight's dinner was at <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.craverestaurant.ca/home.htm">Crave</a> an "upscale, urban dining environment" in the North part of town. The picture above is where we were seated for the night. There were about 40 of us there and we listened to a talk about Phosphate binders & calcium (yeah, I was a little lost on this topic, too!) and then enjoyed the meal. I had crab cakes, a fish dinner and chocolate brownie with chocolate and peanut butter gelato along with one OJ, one coke, one Shirley Temple and one water. I estimate my meal was about $70 all in all. Insane, but sooo worth it (as long as I wasn't paying!)<br /><br />The conversation with a few of the med students totally made the night. Unlike everyone else, we were more than happy to talk about the most random of things and spent the entire night laughing! Free food with fun people--- When's the next one??Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-68502226899205099162008-08-04T18:57:00.001-07:002008-08-05T13:58:03.613-07:00Sleep Through the Static<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrwTLFci5euumVIljA1l9eEo9IxM3V6xppsjKTTX2avpxmL10eC07Uul3v-8jgUpW8Dx4GrJ73Z5IN9-d723beMFhsALNskS9ozAtl62_IR5U2BOgtWXQMJDgrAAomRgdMhcH8rjjzpk/s1600-h/IMG_3328.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrwTLFci5euumVIljA1l9eEo9IxM3V6xppsjKTTX2avpxmL10eC07Uul3v-8jgUpW8Dx4GrJ73Z5IN9-d723beMFhsALNskS9ozAtl62_IR5U2BOgtWXQMJDgrAAomRgdMhcH8rjjzpk/s320/IMG_3328.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231140786846648402" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I think I am in heaven!!!! I am about 90% recovered from the Jack Johnson show (we didn't leave the venue until about 1:30am, and hit Pickering at 4:30am... totally worth it all-- but I am still so tired as my sleep count is about at 4 hours today)<br /><br />Anyway, the show was amazing! We arrive just before 4 at Burl's Creek (the venue) and got into a huge convoy of cars heading to the parking lot. Within 30 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mins</span> we were parked and ready to get in. After weaving though the lines, we got in and set up camp. Literally. We had towels and blankets and were ready to sit in the hot sun for a few hours as we waited for the show to start. After a few bathroom breaks, re-filling water bottles, a little walking around and a lot of sitting in the sun, the first of 3 opening guys came on. Jack (as everyone called him) had three opening guys that were pretty good (they started at 6 and went to just before 9 with not too much wait time in between). It was 9pm before I even realized and to be honest, I can't even remember which song he opened with. All I can remember thinking is "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">OMFG</span>, I am seeing JACK JOHNSON LIVE".Amazing. The crowd was loving it and he was loving us back. He played some oldies and lots of new songs off his latest album <span style="font-style: italic;">Sleep Through the Static</span>. I made sure to get a bit of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing on video along with Banana Pancakes (one of my favourite songs of his-- and also my cell phone ring!) and a couple others that are escaping my mind right now! Lots of songs (nearly 2 hours) countless pictures and several videos later, Jack was done and we were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">herded</span> (like sheep) back to the car. This part from the time the show ended took from about 11-2:00am. Try getting thousands of people out of ONE exit. FUN! We cranked the radio and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">belted songs to </span>the cars around us with songs by Elton John and basically anything else that came on. I think only one guy really liked it, but whatever, they should be chill. THEY JUST CAME FROM SEEING JACK JOHNSON! We narrowly escaped a verbal fight (thanks Anna) and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">witnessed</span> a great "it's 1:00am we we're still stuck in the same spot we've been in since 11am" verbal argument. It was great.<br /><br />All and all an amazing show. I totally missed N not being there, but if Jack comes back to Toronto and I'm around-- we'll go, and I'll hold on to the ticket. :)Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435454175556157219.post-33295546108874101572008-08-01T15:30:00.000-07:002008-08-01T21:00:51.308-07:00Sitting, Waiting, Wishing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0qTRr02y6gkBvgvGnMXUsh8BCA1P2IftOiwVEfS4mhAWe0-RcOVvFj0aOQxHFOm-gmOIoq62J9D7OLd8vUQH6C4XonVIZB-VpA61DSs_934rRQPDP73evkbUzdRtYMt-mZ0V2-AKO2o/s1600-h/jackyj.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229680990726176594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0qTRr02y6gkBvgvGnMXUsh8BCA1P2IftOiwVEfS4mhAWe0-RcOVvFj0aOQxHFOm-gmOIoq62J9D7OLd8vUQH6C4XonVIZB-VpA61DSs_934rRQPDP73evkbUzdRtYMt-mZ0V2-AKO2o/s320/jackyj.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>I am literally sitting, waiting and wishing because this SUNDAY is Jack Johnson at <a href="http://www.burlscreekconcerts.com/">Burl's Creek </a>in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Oro</span></span>, Ontario!

I don’t want to talk it up too much, but it’s hilarious. It’s not that easy to find online and it’s nearly impossible to find on TV in Canada (try Showcase) but if you can find it—watch it! The DVD's are readily available at most <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Its-Always-Sunny-Philadelphia-Seasons/dp/B000RW3VDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1217372136&sr=8-1">DVD stores for about $20</a> (and that's 2 seasons)<br /><br />Check out the vid below!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ECzz-p6Ulas&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ECzz-p6Ulas&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721647700544274657noreply@blogger.com0
