X-Factor Australia 2014 Winner: Marlisa Ann Punzalan

Image
I know it's been a week since my this 15 year old bagged the X-factor Australia 2014 title but her her own single entitled "Stand By You" got stuck in my head and had an LSS (Last Song Syndrome)! Oh how I loved the rhythm and lyrics! And even though I'm not a good singer, I've been singing it everyday ever since! lol So for those who have heard her, here are the very uplifting lyrics! I feel like this song is great to dedicate to a friend, family, other half or anyone who is going through a lot in their lives. If you don't know her or haven't heard her single yet, watch the vid and let us all sing along with her today in Music Mondays! Marlisa Ann Punzalan was born on 1 October 1999 and is from Glendenning, New South Wales. She is of Filipino descent and began singing at the age of three. In 2013, Punzalan auditioned for the seventh series of Australia's Got Talent but did not make it past the audition rounds and...

The Queen sends her First Tweet!

Image
OMG! This is so exciting! My pseudo-mother, Queen Elizabeth II, just tweeted for the first time! While opening the Information Age exhibit at London’s Science Museum, she sent her first ever tweet from the official Twitter account of Buckingham Palace. Lurve! Being cool, "Elizabeth R."! Confirmed! The tweet’s author was then verified by the @BritishMonarchy account  with a follow-up tweet and a photo of the Queen sending the message. A statement from the museum said director Ian Blatchford had invited Queen Elizabeth to mark the occasion on social media. “I mentioned earlier that Queen Victoria took a great interest in the invention of the telephone, and Your Majesty has followed in this tradition of embracing new technology,” he told her. “You made the first live Christmas broadcast in 1957 and an event relished by historians took place on [March 26, 1976], when you became the first monarch to send an email, ...

Flores in Londres

Image
This jet lag is not fun and I'm in need of something to perk me up. To tire myself and hopefully go to bed earlier, we walked around the neighborhood. Britain in Bloom is the largest horticultural campaign in the United Kingdom. This year is its 50th Anniversary. The winners for the competition will be announced in September. While walking, I've noticed these blue round signs on some of the houses. Apparently, these are historical landmarks. And after some Lebanese food (they have a lot of them here!), we also decided to walk home and burn those calories. In the corner of our street is a flower stand which is literally called "The Flower Stand". My fiance got me a bunch of pink long stemmed roses and eucalyptus. And since I don't have vases yet, I decided to use these tall glasses for the living room and recycle the wine bottles for the kitchen. These flowers have indeed ...

Princess in the Park

Having lived near Central Park in New York City, I am so happy that Hyde Park is not far from our flat. This reminds me of Boathouse! I would love to have tried their summer drinks  but too jet lagged to do so.  will def try the boats next time!  no fence = more fun I thought it said: Please don't walk on the Memorial or in the water. Ooopsss! lol Reminds me more of the carousel in Bryant Park in NYC. I love rock art. It has a calming effect on me. I got lucky to see this art installation during our walk in Hyde Park.   Chilean architect Smiljan RadiΔ‡ has designed the fourteenth Serpentine Pavilion. Open until 19 October.  A semi-translucent, cylindrical structure that resembles a shell and rests on large quarry stones,  this year’s Pavilion occupies 350 square metres of the Serpentine’s lawn  and is home to a...

Fifty Shades of Grey

Image
2 years might have passed since I read the trilogy of Fifty Shades of Grey and they maybe in the basement now for storage--- but that doesn't mean I already forgot about the books. I might be personally happier if the movie had came out sooner but oh well! At least the sneak peak is out now. But damn we still have to wait for Valentine's Day 2015! After the teaser came out on July 20th, the official trailer is out today! Teaser Official Trailer Are you still excited to see this movie or the excitement of the book has been long gone?

Wedding Wednesdays!

Image
Something "NEW"! It is so impossible nowadays to make your wedding or any event unique. I am a part-time events planner myself and I am OC with "something new" or different from the norm. This is I guess why Shona Carter-Brooks and Johnathon Brooks decided to have their newborn daughter attached to the bride's train, while they walked down the aisle on their wedding day in Elam Baptist Church in Ripley. They were slammed by all types of media. Well, it is still a win-win for them as their wedding is definitely unique and became popular! lol Anything "new" you did for your wedding? Or plan to do? Or would love to have done? Please share in the comments! For updates, follow me in Instagram: @princessweetah
