Don’t you think that Vanessa Anne Hudgens is just simply so hot?
Vanessa Anne Hudgens, (also known simply as) Vanessa Hudgens, (born December 14, 1988 in Salinas, California) is an American actress and singer. She made her screen debut in 2003 and appeared in the Hollywood films Thirteen and Thunderbirds, before reaching fame in the 2006 hit Disney Channel film, High School Musical. Hudgens also began a music career and released her debut album, entitled V, in 2006. In 2007, Hudgens became the spokesperson for Neutrogena.
Vanessa Anne Hudgens was born on December 14, 1988; her younger sister, Stella Hudgens, is also an actress. She has been home-schooled since after her seventh-grade year at the Orange County High School of the Arts. Her parents are Greg Hudgens and Gina Guangco. In regards to her ethnic background, Vanessa was quoted:
“Pretty much I’m Filipino and Caucasian, but within that, I’m Spanish, Chinese, American Indian, Irish.”
Starting at the age of eight, Hudgens performed in musical theater as a singer, and appeared in local productions of Carousel, The Wizard of Oz, The King and I, The Music Man, and Cinderella, among others.[4] Hudgens successfully auditioned for a commercial and subsequently moved to Los Angeles with her family, with whom she is still close.
Career
Film and television
Hudgens began performing at an early age, appearing in musicals starting at age eight, by taking over a friend who couldn’t go to the audition, and moved to Los Angeles after winning an audition for a commercial. She scored roles on shows such as Quintuplets, Cover Me, and Still Standing, then made her feature debut in Thirteen as Noel and appeared in the 2004 film Thunderbirds as Tintin. Her television appearances include guest roles on Quintuplets, Still Standing, The Brothers Garcia and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, as Corrie, a classmate of Maddie and London. Hudgens also appeared on Drake & Josh, playing Drake’s girlfriend, Rebecca.
Hudgens’ largest role among teenage audiences has been starring in the Disney Channel movie High School Musical, which premiered in January 2006; BBC News said that the film’s success turned Hudgens into a “household name” in North America.Hudgens and Efron had won “Best Chemistry” award at the Teen Choice Awards for their roles.
As a result of the film’s popularity, Hudgens was offered a contract by Old Navy to appear in multiple commercials for the company. Hudgens had previously appeared in a swimwear commercial for the company in 2005.[7] She also appeared in a Blockbuster commercial for no late fees, as the teenage daughter. Also, Hudgens is set to be the new face of Neutrogena in 2007, appearing in both film and print ads. Hudgens is also an endorser of the Ecko line. Hudgens participated in the Disney Channel Games 2006, which was filmed in April 2006 and aired two months later.
Hudgens finished filming High School Musical 2 on April 13, 2007, in St. George and Salt Lake City, Utah. In both films, Hudgens stars as shy, intelligent Gabriella Montez. The film premiered on the Disney Channel on August 17, 2007.
The first High School Musical spawned a hit soundtrack, a worldwide concert tour, a show at Walt Disney World, and even a book series that helped Hudgens land in Forbes magazine’s list of top-earning stars under 21.” In the list, the 18-year-old Hudgens was No. 7 with estimated earnings of $2 million.[citation needed]
Music
Hudgens’ debut album, entitled V, was released in early September 2006. She is signed with Hollywood Records, a Disney-owned record label. A music video for her first single, “Come Back To Me”, debuted after the world premiere of The Cheetah Girls 2 in late August. The official music video for her second single, “Say OK”, was first shown following the premiere of Disney’s Jump In!
“Let Go” and “Let’s Dance” have both been used in commercials for ABC, “Let Go” for a Desperate Housewives commercial,[8] and “Let’s Dance” for Dancing With The Stars. “Say OK” has also been used in commercials for ABC Family’s Lincoln Heights.
Hudgens has stated that she is interested in recording a second album sometime soon. In an August 2007 issue of TV Guide magazine, with the cast of High School Musical on the cover, Hudgens expressed interest in writing songs about the negative side of Hollywood and how it can change people.
In August 2007 at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards, Hudgens was named the Choice Breakout Singer - Female, beating out other noteworthy nominees including American Idol contestant Katherine McPhee, Amy Winehouse, Corrine Bailey Rae and Lily Allen, who all have a decidedly older sound with their music.
Personal life
Hudgens confirmed in an interview with Teen Magazine that, as of August 2007, she was dating her High School Musical and High School Musical 2 co-star Zac Efron.

This will be a post before I leave for Langkawi. I will not be able to blog so often when I am in Langkawi. It will be a very hectic and busy trip to Langkawi as there are so many things to be done on site.
Hoping that you will see me back in a piece.
I was at Sentul Park to meet up with the client last few weeks ago, took some scenery shots of the KOI Centre. The KOIs are seriously BIG! You can go and take a look at the breeding pond and you will know what I mean.
The KOI Centre is located in YTL Sentul Park and it’s just a short walking distance from KLPAC. It’s opened to visitors and you will just need to park your car and walk into the breeding pond, and you will see those really big fish.

The next day, we were at this famous shrine - Erawan Shrine at Erawan Hyatt.
Everyone comes to pray and make a wish, if the wish becomes true, they have to come back to thank the buddha.
I made a wish to have a pretty, matured, hardworking and cute girlfriend. What do you say?
They do have birdies, too.

After visiting Wat Po (Reclining Buddha), you will need to walk for a short distance to the Jetty. (Ask people where is Wat Arun and they will point you the way)
You will come to a place like this.
Take the boat at RM0.30 and you will need to cross a river to go to the opposite in order for you to reach Wat Arun. (Temple of the Dawn).
Remember, if you are being offered with a boat trip, don’t take any of them. There is nothing much to see, except Wat Arun.
Well, I know that I am wearing company’s tshirt. The morning before this trip, I was at convention centre meeting my client and make sure everything is done before leaving. Thats part of our scope.
Wat Arun has 3 layers in total. Accordingly to my uncle, it has the meaning.
After taking photos at Wat Arun, we took the ferry back to the opposite shore at RM0.30.
