Happy Birthday Michelle & Nana; 4th of July celebrations

Nana invited us up to hang out in Malibu at her friend Larry’s house and we celebrated both Michelle & Nana’s birthdays, and took part in 4th of July festivities. There was traditional barbecued food like sausages and burgers; chips with guacamole dips. Nana  made delicious barbecued cold chicken drumsticks and an awesome salad.  My camera ran out of battery when the fireworks started, but you get the idea.

Happy 4th!

Independence Day Celebrations

Our little Abode in West Hollywood

These are well overdue, but I haven’t had time to do this (which is the way its supposed to be I guess). I’m sitting here waiting for dinner to cook and laundry to be done – so I’m maximizing time! Here are some apartment pictures, the Kitchen specifically, after a round of shopping at Costco- if I lived in a place like this I’d cook everyday and go grocery shopping every other week. Costco is an entry-by-membership only place – its $50 USD per annum. This place is so popular because you can buy stuff in huge bulk – a year’s supply of sanitary pads for example….or like 20 jumbo jars of Mayonnaise (restaurant sizes). A lot of restaurants get their supply from Costco too. Regular folks come here to stock up for a month or two at least.  They don’t provide plastic bags in this place so you either have to bring your own shopping bags or scavenge scrap boxes to hold everything in. Needless to say, ferrying your purchases home will be a problem without a car.

Value for money groceries from Costco!

HAPPY PRIDE, LA!!!!

Happy Breakfast

So Michelle, Leon, Ravin, Jen Nee and I walked around on Saturday night down Santa Monica Boulevard after having dinner at iHOP to take in the festivities. These people really know how to party, and we had heaps of fun. Many of the guys were insanely, insanely hot and it was really nice to see them openly showing love in a place where you don’t get discriminated.

Pictures coming soon, and even more after we go celebrate at the Pride Parade tomorrow!

No H8,

WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!

Hello world!

So 12 of us have basically arrived in L.A. safe and sound. Its been a crazy week of going for interviews, orientating ourselves and getting lost on the buses in West Hollywood. I’m sorry we didn’t update sooner – but you must’ve all seen plenty of Facebook photos though!

I’m sure that all 12 of us will have something to say at some point or another so make sure you guys check back for updates!

If you don’t already know, all of us are living in 3 different houses. A group of us are in Santa Monica, and the other 2 are somewhere in West Hollywood. For safety reasons (Lisa, there are a lot of CRAZIES here!!!), I shall not publicly disclose our locations. If you want to send us presents, please IM the persons involved and privately get the addresses from there.

Here comes forth the point where I let the pictures do the talking – just a little pictorial presentation in Chronological Order about our lives so far. I don’t have anything from Santa Monica, but I’ll let that team tell you a better story with their awesome (very, very juicy)photographs.

Here goes nothing!  (I’m sorry if you’ve seen some of these pictures before on all our face book accounts, but I spent three days doing this, so yeah.)

Hope you guys enjoyed the update! Since I took so long to post this up, by the time I did, we’ve all moved into our respective apartments.  Yay, we’re no longer ‘slumming’ it up in the hostels! Having a proper home to come back to really makes a huge difference. On that note – I LOVE OUR HOUSE! Will put up some more pictures and videos when we can.

Here’s to even more adventures!
