BLOG: Filling In The Awkward Silence with an Apology

Hello Everyone!!!


It's been so busy with my personal life lately that I haven't had the time to update you guys or review anything for you.

I am soooooo SORRY!!!

Here are a few things coming up for you all:

10 February - ONE DIRECTION will be releasing their single "One Thing" for Australian fans on their site with their NEW TRACK: "I Should Have Kissed You". I'm gonna get my hands on it to review it for you. Might take a while in terms of shipping and stuff, but I might cheat and get the MP3 version instead because I want to share the new track with you guys. (And save as much as possible!)


19 February - A SLEEPLESS MELODY continues their "The Last Teenagers Tour" here in Sydney and I've got some special guest FAN REVIEWERS (who will be revealed very soon!) who are joining me to review the show. I might even get a few pictures with the boys just to share with you on Facebook and Twitter (as well as Instagram if you have it :D).


TBA - More films!!! I only have short amount of free time left to get into the cinemas and I will try and get a few movie reviews in for you guys. If not...


I'm going to run a movie competition for you guys!!!


Just because I can't get to the cinemas doesn't mean YOU can't. I'll keep you guys posted and ONE loyal reader will receive a special gift from yours truly. I want to keep it a surprise because...

strictlyLeisure
is
turning
TWO!!!
this Year!!!!









That's right!!! strictlyLeisure will be turning TWO this month thanks to all of YOU!!! But there are few people that I've reviewed that I want to thank especially:

From 2010:
  • Miss TAYLOR SWIFT for her Fearless Tour 2010. The FIRST show I every reviewed and still one of the best concerts I've been to.
  • Mr LOGAN LERMAN who captivated my sister's heart for the first six months of that year. This guy is an amazing actor, if you haven't seen anything by him I recommend that you do. In particular: My One and Only (along side Reese Witherspoon and Kevin Bacon) and Meet Bill (along side Aaron Ekhart and Jessica Alba).
  • EASTERFEST for allowing me to see HAWK NELSON who blew the house down that night! I recommend going to Easterfest this year guys! There's a great line up - you can also get involved, go to: http://www.agmf.com.au/ to checkout the line-up, dates and how to get tickets.
  • Mr JUSTIN BIEBER for being the topic of my complaints over hype to this day. Can I just say, I respect him as an artist and I do like to listen to his music in small dosages.
  • DISNEY for amazing shows like Hannah Montana and Sonny With A Chance who gave me the best laughs and the best tunes on my iPod.
For 2011:
  • EVENT CINEMAS for getting in contact with me and using my reviews for their films. I enjoy writing for you guys and I love coming to your cinemas to watch all the films that I review! I look forward to another great year together!
  • McFlyDares Girls: JAY, LUCY, HANNAH, SAZZ and NICKY for taking the time to talk to me about their campaign to raise money for BIRT and EYES ALIGHT please keep donating to this cause! Click: http://www.birt.co.uk/eyesalight/ for more information and how to donate. Especially with McFly's upcoming "Keep Calm and Play Louder Tour" coming up - see where the girls will be and how you can help raise money along side them.
  • CAPITOL THEATRE for hosting one of the most magical theatrical experiences for me. Mary Poppins was an absolute delight to share with my mother for Mother's Day and we both loved every minute of it.
  • DAYLIGHT HOURS, A SLEEPLESS MELODY and THE NTH DEGREE for getting in contact with me and allowing me to share my thoughts about their music. I loved doing that for you guys and I can't wait to see you all live! I might have to hit Melbourne soon!
  • JAKE NAUTA for his amazing solo career and for going another round for his debut solo album. You're a legend!
  • And of course to: MCFLY and NEW EMPIRE the two most reviewed or mentioned bands that strictlyLeisure has reviewed in 2011. Thank you guys for the friends I've made and the opportunities you guys have opened for your fans to get to know you. For McFly - SUPER CITY is amazing and I had A LOT of fun reviewing it and I will be renewing my citizenship for another year! For New Empire - you guys have just been a delight to meet each time and I love supporting you guys!
And of course:

YOU GUYS - My Readers!

I never thought it would get this far - running competitions, keeping up with reviews or meeting you guys in real life! You guys have just been amazing these past two years and I just want to thank you guys so much for encouraging me to share things with you and for taking time to actually read what I have to say.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I really thought I would give up after a few months, but two YEARS later and I'm still writing reviews for you guys!!! I am so blessed! Thank you!

Much Love,
