I had a bit of nostaglia today. The Karate Kid was on cable and it bought me back to the days of my teen years and how I used to go ga ga over the latest Hollywood hearthrob or the sexy lead singer or lead guitarist of a pop/rock band.
My favourites growing up was the [...]
Why should we loose our identity, just because we have kids.

This is a topic, that has been on my mind for sometime. As most of you are aware, I am nearly 36, have two kids and am a stay-at-home mum, who is completing a university degree. One thing that I have tried so hard to maintain over the last 9 years, is my identity. In the [...]

One thing I have never understood, if how people can justify the difference in someone. I grew up in multicultural Melbourne, Australia. My Catholic Primary and Secondary schools were mixtures of European, North and South American, African, and Asian backgrounds.

TV Stations – Can they ever get it right?
Posted in Uncategorized on May 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One thing I have found in my 35 years, is never get used to a Tv show on Australian television. Just as you get used to something great, they take it off, for something crap.
An example of this is Channel Ten. I am a huge Law and Order fanatic. Love the original series, SVU and Criminal Intent. Now [...]
