I have a very busy spring/summer coming up, as I have been asked to senior prom in June, and I will be celebrating my Sweet 16 in July. So, of course, I am in the market for dresses! I spent a lot of time looking at gowns online, and found a great website called newyorkdress.com http://www.newyorkdress.com/Prom_Dresses.html. It has hundreds (or more) of gowns to choose from, and it carries really cool lines like Faviana (I have become a big fan of this line since I started watching “My Fair Wedding” with David Tutera) and Jovani.
So, after finding a [ ...continue reading ]

Wow, what an unbelievable week my friends and I have experienced, all because our friend Robbie Rosen made the top 24 in “American Idol”! Camera crews and reporters have been at our school for days, asking us questions, and sitting in on our chorus practices. I had my share of publicity, too, this week, when a picture of me singing (yes, mouth wide open) was in Newsday as part of an article covering Robbie.
But the big excitement has been watching my friend Robbie sing on the big stage for national television, and then tweeting and talking to [ ...continue reading ]

As I mentioned in my last blog post, I am totally about music, dancing and singing. Since middle school, I have been involved in choir, and that is where I met my friend Robbie Rosen. When I first heard Robbie sing, I knew that his voice was really special, and that he might even become famous…and I also knew that I wanted to sing with him.
Even though we sang together in middle school in a cappella, it wasn’t until high school that Robbie and I actually became best friends. Robbie told me that I had an amazing voice, [ ...continue reading ]

When I was around 9 months old, my parents took me to a brunch at my grandfather’s country club, where I witnessed live music for the first time. The musician was a strolling violinist and, according to my parents, I sat up in the highchair, dropped my bottle from my mouth and was completely mesmerized. Everyone in the club was watching me watching him. From there, I sang at my sister’s baptism when I was 3 years old—I stood in front of 100 people, closed my eyes through the whole song and belted “You’re Still the One,” by Shania [ ...continue reading ]

My family and I recently went on an amazing vacation—it was a cruise around the Mediterranean that began in Barcelona, Spain, and stopped in beautiful ports through Europe, including Naples, Rome, Florence/Pisa and the French Riviera.
We left New York on Friday night on a “red eye” and arrived in Spain on Saturday morning. Barcelona was interesting, especially since it was our first European city, and it was my job to take photos, and do the conversion from euros to dollars—when we were there, the conversion rate was around 1.20 euros. We did a lot of shopping in [ ...continue reading ]

In the next few years, I will be deciding what college I want to go to. This is probably the biggest decision in my life so far, and I will only be 16 when I am making it! It’s great to have options and to be able to consider different choices, but sometimes I wish someone would just tell me, “Christine, you have to go to this school, and that’s it, period.” That way, if it’s the wrong decision, it’s not my fault.
There are so many things about this that make me nervous. What if I go [ ...continue reading ]

This week in school, one of my teachers complimented me and a friend on our drama skills, and a boy in the class commented that “all drama kids are freaks or nerds.” This boy is a jock, his grades are average and he gets into trouble in school sometimes. What makes him think he’s better than me or my friends? This got me and my friend Emily (who is also in drama) thinking… what makes someone a nerd?
I hung out in my pajamas and studied for midterms today. Does that make me a nerd?
I [ ...continue reading ]
