your chariot awaits ladies

Looked out the window and saw this big thing downstairs waiting for us. OMG.

Yeppers, that big fancy limo was for Chantelle & I. Big thanks to Calvin & Regency Limo for setting up the most awesome airport delivery ever.

Our driver Andrew even got us coffee. LOVE YOU! It was 5:30am, so necessary!

Was kinda like a wild disco in there. If you wanna book one like us ring 416-785-1222. Tell them we’re friends.

Sunrise was real pretty this AM. I should wake up earlier more often. I really love mornings.

Made it through airport security no prob. They let me take glitter too ;)

Weeeeeeee moving sidewalk: walk, walk, fashion baby.

I LOVE YOU ICE CREAM shirt.

Sadly, no Timmies on the USA side. Wahhh.

GLITTER GRAFITTI @ YYZ. Borderline artistic strikes again.

I would like to watch this show.

Flying in to Atlanta. Man, it was hot there. Hot-lanta, I get it.

Big thanks to Telus & Motorola for my phone & great mobile service. I love you.

Wifi onboard? OMG THAT’S ME, INTERNET!

P.S. The big yellow bag I have and all my other fav purses are Nella Bella & they are having a SAMPLE SALE on Thursday at the Studio 401 Richmond. Info below. GO get yourself something nice!

nothing like sleeping in your own bed again

I stayed up late after I arrived home last night, couldn’t sleep. I got into my leopard snuggie and watched all last week’s episodes of the Young and the Restless in a row. Slept till two in the avo today and feeling quite energized now. I’ve gotta clean up all the goodies I have scattered around the house.

My Kiwi friends wanted to know what the view was like from my house. It’s quite cloudy today but you get the idea. This is the CN tower. Puts Aucklands SkyCity tower to shame, sorry kids. They do have the tallest free standing in the Southern Hemisphere though.

May-jah traffic here.

This is the airport, Porter Airlines I told you about. Really great airline. Stylish outfits & great service.

Good thing I have this spankin’ new LG Kompressor Vacuum to help me clean up the mess from dumping my  suitcase and heaps of NZ goodies on the floor. It makes this cute sound when you turn it on. Happy to add it to my many gadgets around the house. The handle actually works wirelessly with batteries to turn it on! Is that not the coolest thing eva? Ok, well the coolest thing in vacuum technology mate!

I’m so happy to be home. I loved NZ and hope to get back in the next year but my gosh, it’s great to be home. I’m back on the Telus 3G and have my double monitor setup for my comp and North American TV poppin. Big ups to Telus for keeping me connected while I was in NZ. I was able to hop on wireless and stay in touch with tweets and emails the whole time.

I love you Canada! Have an awesome day!

my fav android market downloads

These are my fav apps I’ve downloaded to my Motorola Milestone android phone mini-computer from Telus.  Figured it was about time I shared them with you.

By far the coolest thing I’ve ever seenon anyone’s phone – Google Sky Map. With Google Sky Map for Android you have the magic to discover, view and search the sky by pointing your phone to outerspace. It’s keeps me up at night, stargazing.

I searched The Southen Cross, a star constallation I have tattooed on my back, my very first tattoo. You can see it in the southern Hemisphere near New Zealand & Australia. Last night, I found it from my bed.

Makes the world seem small, and me there looking at it,  bigger than life.

I don’t really play games that much but two that I’ve kept are Labyrinth and Jewels . They both kinda make you smarter which makes me happy, win-win. I like Foursquare too, obviously. I use Compas & Metal Detector for fun sometimes. I have the Gaga’s Monster app and Lady Gaga ringtones too. My phone rings bad romance, love love love.

Some others I use for blogging are:

WordPress for Android – great for bobile blogging, not that many options but good enough

Fx Camera – Photo settings like Toy Cameras, Polandroid, Fisheye, Symetrical, Warhol

Camera Illusion – heaps of different setting I don’t really get but on turns yout photo into a drawing. Love that.

Not sure if i’ve told you a zillion times or not, but I realy love this phone, its’ the best I’ve ever had. Police light is pretty badass, check this out…

please check the number or try your call again

I got a new phone today from Motorola called the Backflip. This thing lets you stream emails and social networks into one feed and it backs all your stuff up. I’m testing it out this weekend to see if I like it better than the Milestone, that phone is gonna be hard to beat. I’m really liking Android in general. Stay tuned for my thoughts on it.

Twitter released it’s official app for Android today. Downloaded it. So far its ok. The homepage is portrait vs landscape which bugs me and it seems you can only have one account. I’ve been using the Seesmic app to publish and monitor about five accounts for work etc. The RT function doesn’t let you edit tweets first which is pretty annoying. Gonna give it a fair go this weekend along with the new phone.

It’s been a really good day. Checked a few things off my list that I’ve been meaning to get done. Feeling super positive and looking forward to the weekend. Think it’s gonna rain tomorrow but I don’t mind, it’s been a busy week.  Might clean my room if it’s rainy.  Need to catch up on emails (sorry if you’re one of the people I’ve not emailed back yet). Gonna head over to Raymi‘s place for her roomie’s bday party tomorrow night. Tonight I’ve got a couple things to do but nothing mayjah.

That’s all for now. Heading home to enjoy the rest of the sunshine

I read about Google launching Social Stream today which is awesome cause I’m a huge lover and user of Google products. It’s also amazing because a Motorola Milestone’s gonna arrive at my desk today.

I recently made BFF’s with Telus and when my girl there heard about me losing the phone she took care of the situation right away. Yes, I’m a very lucky girl. This things is like a mini Google computer and I’m stoked.

It runs on Android 2.0 and has a 5MP camera and a flash (important features for me). The screen is huge and I’ve heard it’s kinda heavy, I like heavy. It doesn’t come out for Telus customers until March, you’re hearing it first here Canada.

I remind myself all the time not to let things I can’t control get me down. This, once again is a lesson that good things will come if you stay positive.
