Love song of the week

Love song of the week

Your song by Elton John (Ellie Goulding version)


LYRICS:

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
We both could live

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
See I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is
What I really mean
Your's are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody,
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor
But then again no
Or girl who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but
It's the best I can do
My gift is my song and
This one's for you

Ohh [x8]

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

a Happy story with a sad ending...

Firstly i want to apologize for not posting for two weeks but i was in Germany on my exchange, my exchange partner just so happen to be one of my best friends, my twin, Marielle Gras. Posting will now resume as normal

I arrived at Frankfurt airport very skeptical about her family, I mean no one can match up to the Van Zyls but as I got there i felt so welcomed by the family and it felt like no time has passed since i saw Marielle.
After a half a hour drive we arrived in her hometown Ingelheim. I am not gonna spend time writing how beautiful her town is... (the picture will explain that)... instead i want to express my love for my second family and second home country.
Germany is just beautiful and I know i will definitely spend a year of my life living there.
Marielle and her family are one of the greatest people i have ever met. they were there for me when i needed them and they created so many memories for me. i hope one day to repay them for everything they have done for me.

Ich Liebe Dich Gras Familie

God save the queen

In one of my previous posts i mentioned my friend Robyn would be having high tea at the Oyster Box Hotel for Sweet 16. 
One word = W O W
The food was amazing. we all ate sooooooo much, it is actually ridiculous. When we went and got food and when we got back to our seat the waiter would pull out our chairs and as we sat they pushed it back in, then he gently placed our serviette on our lap. I felt like Royalty. I had three different pots of tea: Vanilla, Earl Grey and Green Tea. We could even order any fruit juices that we wanted to.
Thank you Robyn for making all of us feel like Princesses when it was actually your birthday

Love song of the week

Love song of the week

Home by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic zeros

It is the cutest and catchiest song in the world. I bet not one person will not L O V E this song


LYRICS:
Alabama Arkansas I do Love my Ma and Pa
Not the way that I do Love you

Holy Moly Me oh My your the apple of my eye
Girl I've never loved one like you

Man o Man your my best friend I scream it to the nothingness
there ain't nothing that I need

Hot and Heavy pumpkin pie
Chocolate candy Jesus Christ
Ain't nothing please me more than you

[Chorus:]
Home, Let me come Home
Home is Whenever I'm with you
Home, yes I am Home
Home is wherever I'm with you

Lalalala Take me Home
Mama I'm Coming Home

I follow you into the park, through the jungle through the dark
Girl I've never loved one like you

Moats and boats and Waterfalls, Alleyways and payphone calls
I been everywhere with you (that's true)

Laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summer night
never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geeze, you're something to see.

[Chorus]

Lalalala take me home
Mama I'm Coming Home

‒ Jade?
‒ Alexander?
‒ Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
‒ I sure do ‒ you came jumping right out after me.
‒ Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke you ass, you were bleeding all over the place, I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
‒ Yes, I do.
‒ Well there's something I never told you about that night
‒ What didn't you tell me?
‒ Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deep in love with you, and I never told you till just now!

[Chorus]

Home, let me come home, home is wherever I'm with you
Home, yes I am Home home is whenever I'm with you!

Alabama Arkansas I do love my Ma and Pa
Yes Home, yes ward! home is whenever I'm with you!
Home is whenever I'm with you.

Nothing really matters when we are dancing...

It was Jen's sweet sixteen dinner, what fun it was...
All the girls rocked up at her house and took a partybus/taxi to NewsCafe at theee Village. Yours truly made the CD, it was just Skrillex. Gosh I love it. We had dinner and then a group of us played a friendly game of Spin The Bottle. Oh my... It was a night that certainly proved that we don't need alcohol to have fun because it was honestly so much fun.



we went to Wakkaberry Yoghurt bar as well...
