Helloooo! It's been a week since i last wrote here. Sorry everyone! Not a lot of my piczo friends seem to have been on lately :/ Special thanks to Caroline, Elaine, Tasha, Sonja, Nat, Nikki & Meg for being awesome friends lately.. sorry if i missed you.
My friends birthday party was great! We were planning on going to a maze but it started raining :( So we just stayed at her house and rented movies. We watched Disturbia, a horror movie D: It wasn't that bad but i kinda started listening to my ipod at one stage coz i get really bad nightmares lol.
I had a japanese test today and a maths one on Friday! Aaahhh hope it'll be alright (:
Ummm... i dunno what to update on the site. So yeah. Sorry :D
I might make some blends later if i have time. I opened a new H&A blend comp ft. Jess Tovey & Lincoln Lewis!
Please enter =) I really don't have time to make awards for other comps right now. Soo sorry but so much homework :(

Hey everyone :) So as you know, I started school on Tuesday. As expected, I have been bombarded with homework again. I’m sorry if I don’t update much but I’ll try my best. And I can’t forget my Grade 7 piano exam which is coming closer. I’m not saying I don’t have any free time but I have other hobbies other than piczo =)
But please don’t think that if you leave a comment I won’t reply for days! I check comments everyday + reply to them all, but it doesn’t mean I have time to update. So please leave comments :)
To people who think I’m abandoning this site for xo--gossipgirl – I’m not. I just see more point in updating that site because I like to give the latest news to Gossip Girl fans. Please check it out & feel free to comment <3
And last but not least… please enter for SOTM! I’m sorry I know I promised ages ago to end the Kate Ritchie blend comp.. I’ll do it ASAP! This weekend I won’t have much time :( Coz it’s my friend’s birthday.
Hope you’re all well and that I’ll have time to update soon!
Love you all very much,
Jacqui xxxxxxxxxx

I saw the Mummy 3 yesterday! OMG, it's sooooooooo good make sure you go see it! One more week of holidays, wish it could last f o r e v e r =)

WEDNESDAY, 24TH OF SEPTEMBER 2008
Hey everyone! My holidays are going really good & I hope yours are as well. The first thing I wanna show you is a new blend I made of Jodi Gordon. Hope you like it:
Thanks for the entries so far in my Anne Hathaway blend competition. I am currently making awards for the Kate Ritchie blend competition so please be patient with me (:
Since I’m on holidays, I’m going to blog about my day: me & some friends went shopping! Yes, my hobby (: First we went and saw Wildchild it was actually really good! A lot of people said it would be bad but I love chick flicks & Emma Roberts is awesome =) Then we went shopping and I bought two new dresses from Valleygirl because I realised I had zero dresses at home right now lol. I might upload pics of the dresses later if you’re interested. + I also bought a pair of metallic sandals for summer! I really want to see The Mummy 3 with my friends soon, so that should be good! And blah, this blog isn’t going anywhere.
Ok talk to you all later!

- Gossip Girl blend comp has finished & awards are done!

I'll blog in a few days about how my holidays are going (:
Thanks for all your lovely comments!

TUESDAY, 16TH OF SEPTEMBER 2008
Hii =)
How are you? Hope you're all well. Well i'm on holidays at the moment! It's been quite un-eventul so far lol. I had a wedding reception a few night's ago it was so romantic the bride & groom danced to Heaven by DJ Sammy, love that song (: So yeah the night was pretty fun !
Has anybody been watching 90210? Omg, it's soooo good i think it's going to become a new addiction. It's not replacing Gossip Girl yet though... nothing can replace my beloved Gossip Girl yet :P
I'm so bored... what i've been doing the last few days is making blends (might upload soon) and reading GG books. Part of my house is getting renovated and it'll take a few more days. The noise is really distracting sometimes lol (:
Home & Away is going great as usual =) It's great to see Melody back she's an interesting character, although her recent face expression is kind of creepy. I think Angelo & Belle are cute but i really miss Adelle :(
Ok i think i'm going to go watch the next episode of Gossip Girl now.
Talk to you all later, please leave comments <3
Oh and please visit xo--gossipgirl.piczo.com! I update it all the time.
It would be nice to know my efforts are not for nothing =P
So hope you're all going good :)
Love, Jacqui xxxx
SATURDAY, 13TH OF SEPTEMBER 2008 MEET CELESTE. Credit: Seven. You could say getting the part of Melody Jones was a life changing experience for young actress Celeste Dodwell. Having topped the state in drama in her HSC exams, she got the call from her agent three days later.
“I was actually driving at the time! And I saw my agent’s phone number come up on my phone screen and I just hastily pulled over to the side of the road to answer.” She explained. “It was a dream come true to get a role on Home and Away, so I accepted right away and I was just over the moon! Getting that news made driving very hard on the way home” She laughed.
Celeste had initially auditioned for the part of Nicole and so she knew nothing about Melody or her background story. “My agent gave me the breakdown of her character and she sounded interesting, I was intrigued.”
Nicole and Melody are extreme opposites. Nicole’s mode of operation is flirty, confident and self centred, where as Melody is kind, shy and loyal. Celeste relished the idea of playing either character. “I think playing a diverse range of roles is what every actor wants. Playing Melody shows the more intellectual and timid side of human nature, which is really rewarding. Playing the catty, backstabbing Nicole, would be equally rewarding and can be a lot of fun.”
Celeste gives credit to her peer saying “Tessa is the most down to earth, beautiful woman and yet she can just come out and play this catty role. It’s really exciting, it’s like going down that bitchy path that you didn’t want to go down in reality but in fantasy world, it’s really fun to do it."
This is only Celeste’s second time in front of a camera, so playing the role psychotic Melody is very demanding, especially the scenes with Axel. “It was a really tough journey to go on.” She admitted, “Melody just had a big break down. I myself have never experienced anything like that. And I’m sure there’s not a lot of actors out there who have. It’s really just a time when you have to go so deep into the psychology of the character. It’s a really harsh place to go as an actor. I watched Girl Interrupted with Angelina Jolie, that was a bit of research. And I also went and visited a psych clinic and just got a feel for what it was like in there. I mean they’re different than adolescent clinics but it’s a very dark and solemn sort of atmosphere in those places. And that added to the psychological build up of the character I suppose. That scene with Axel when he comes and I’m hallucinating was the toughest I think, to film and also just to wrap your head around. You really just have to believe it because Melody believed it, she believed that Axel was there to get her. You really have to place yourself in a very toiling situation.”
"I am really lucky that Melody has so many 'arcs' in her storylines, so I am gaining as much experience as I can. It's a wild ride with her."

[EDIT]: I just looked through all my affiliates and i was pretty annoyed to find out most of them had removed my link. So if you have a look at my affiliates page i've deleted A LOT. I've added 2 new ones as well: iheartlilo.com & indiana evans online :)
Hey everyone! No updates I’m trying my best to finish the Gossip Girl site as quick as possible but it’s taking forever. I’ve even considered giving up on it but I really don’t want to. I have a maths & Japanese test tomorrow and I can’t wait to get them over and down with. I realised I haven’t blogged for ages and I’m in the mood to right now (:
Today I didn’t exactly have the most interesting day at school but I thought I might as well write it down. It’s completely up to you if you want to bother reading it (: Period 1. Music – studied composers until my friend and I realised the one we were studying was more famous for being a murderer rather than a composer. It was quite hilarious (: Period 2. R.E. – finished 3 assignments I hadn’t bothered completing earlier. Was quite pleased :D Period 3. Science – baked crystals =) Period 4. History – we were supposed to be researching but I’d already finished so I spent the whole lesson bugging my friends that Gossip Girl was starting again tonight. Woot! Period 5. Maths – as I said before, we have a test tomorrow. We were doing revision when the mean teacher from next door came and told us we wouldn’t be allowed calculators. The whole class started complaining so he started yelling at us eg. “you people actually have BRAINS” etc. My maths teacher just sat there laughing his head off. I mean, he’s a good teacher and he’s way nicer than the other one but sometimes he just doesn’t care :P Period 6 Japanese – nothing interesting happened.
Ok I’ll write here again later (:
PLEASE leave comments =]

Hey everyone! Home & Away was fantastic today but i really feel sorry for Martha! She had to lose another baby :( Someone else i feel sorry for is Roman. Elliot is being so evil to him! Arrghh ... and the ads for tomorrow look so romantic & cute in the part with Nicole and Geoff .. lol
Like i said before, i felt really guilty for not entering people's blend comps so i entered 5 yesterday! If i missed anyone, make sure you let me know!
So here are the 5 blend comp entries: Mary-Kate Olsen, Chad Michael Murray, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne & Lincoln Lewis. They were not my best, but hope you like:
Oh yeah and i also updated the Piczo Buddies page :)
My Gossip Girl site is sadly far from finished :P Sorry guys!
I'm not in the mood to blog anymore. Don't really want to talk about it.. but i'll just say: I feel kind of unloved at the moment ♥_♥
<3 you, thanks for reading. Leave me comments and i'll really appreciate it :)
SATURDAY, 23RD OF AUGUST 2008
Hey everyone! As you can see, a brilliant new layout!
Thanks so much to Bec from -summa-bay-rocz = i absolutely love it heaps! i think it's different from my other layouts that i've had :)
Just to let everyone know, i have deleted my awards page. All the links got broken for some reason & i really can't be bothered uploading all them again. + i also don't see much point in having an awards page. No one really cares about it except me, right?
Home & Away is starting soon and i'm very excited! =]
Please enter my OC blend competition if you have time.
Site Surprise: I am currently making a Gossip Girl fansite! I thought it was about time i made one, seeing as i kept raving about the show on this site for ages :P It might take a while to make however, i'm still very busy. So that's why i haven't been making graphics or entering people's blend comps recently: I have 3 sites to work on = this one, my gossip girl one and grafix-n-ads. I hope you can all forgive me :)
Don't forget to comment about what you think of the new layout!
I love you guys , thanks for reading xxxxx
THURSDAY, 21ST OF AUGUST 2008
Hey guys! I know i haven't updated for a number of days, but everything's been so busy! I finally did my maths test today so i'm happy it's over!
Home & Away is coming back next week! I can't wait, but also sad that the Olympics are finishing. It's such a great event and i wish it could happen more frequently than just every 4 years. Back to Home & Away, i found the spoilers for next week & the week after that, you can check them out here.
I have also added 2 new awards, thankyou to Brooklyn & Sonja:
BUT my awards page has gone crazy and most of the awards aren't showing up so i'll fix it later.
I'll try and catch up and enter people's blend comps soon, and make some new graphics! i know i'm behind but i'm really busy. I just want to let you guys know i feel really bad for entering your comps lately. There's one spot left for next month's SOTM so if you want to be in it, hurry and enter :)
Oh yeah by the way, new layout coming this weekend! So make sure you check back ;)
And last thing, just thought i'd tell you =P I'm going to Delta's concert!!!! I'm soo excited because i absolutely ♥ her! Anyway, everyone have a good week and thankyou heaps for all the comments <3
