21 Things About Me #8

Who knew it would be this difficult to blog once a week!?

I keep promising myself that I will give blogging a serious try again, yet somehow life gets in the way. Here is my commitment to you – I will Try Harder

What is your Go-To Song?

For an avid music lover such as myself, this is not a very easy question.

I have a variety of songs that I just have to play to get myself in/out of a mood.

If I have had a really bad day: Happily – One Direction

If I am feeling like some love: Mirrors – Justin Timberlake

If I am needing energy: Cuckoo – Adam Lambert

If I am feeling the need for some anger release: Not Over You – Daughtry

If I am in a really good mood: She looks so perfect – 5SOS / Can We Dance – The Vamps

Having said that –

My all time favourite love song: Running Away – Eden

My all time favourite happy song: What Makes you Beautiful – One Direction

 

21 Things About Me #6

List FIVE things that make you happy

1. Giving a well-thought out gift to somebody & they genuinely love it
2. Kittens (or any other baby animal for that matter) & of course my grown up kitty – Squeaky
3. Coffee in bed
4. Music that moves my soul. Beautifully written words accompanied by the perfect music and voice – nothing can beat that. (Mirrors – Justin Timberlake, You & I- One Direction, Running Away – Eden, Not a Bad Thing – Justin Timberlake, All of Me, John Legend)
5. Flirting – its a thrill!

 

5 Things I Can’t Live Without…

1. My Cat – He knows when I am sad. He cheers me up when I am sad. He loves me unconditionally.
2. My family/friends – My parents are my rock and my pillar. I cannot even imagine how different my life would have been without there love and support. They do not judge me, they have never hurt me & they are always there for me
3. One Direction – Oh snigger away. These guys are more than a boy band with a fun rock/pop melody. They are wildly famous, yet down to earth. They make me happy. I could watch hours of interviews with them for their quirky sense of humour. I even had my parents watching them for a few hours (without complaining)
   Watch their new documentary This is Us (Directed by Morgan Spurlock of SuperSize Me fame) and then tell me you don’t like them.
   The only thing they have in common with Justin Bieber is their age. Otherwise the have manners and are not spoilt brats.
   Apart from 1D, I just can’t do without music in my life. I have to listen to music – whether it is angry rock, or calming soothing songs, or something light and happy – there is hardly ever a time when you will find me sitting in silence.
4. My camera – These photos I take today will be the memories of my tomorrow and the memories for my future generations. A legacy of who I was and where they came from. I want my nephew to look back at all my travels and adventures and be proud of who I was and remember me for what I was regardless of who I may become.
   It is also important for me to remember my life should anything ever happen to me (Alzheimers, demetia etc)
5. My cellphone – I could not go very long without my link to the world. Whatsapp conversations with my friends. Instagram – to keep in touch with the world through pictures. Facebook and Twitter. Google (how else would I know how to boil the perfect egg?) Also a handy backup to take photos when my camera is at home. A music player when the radio is being boring. My constant companion!

 What can you not live without?

One Direction – What makes you beautiful

Wanna make me smile?

Play this song!

I love the words of this song and when searching online I was surprised to see that they are a bunch of young boys from X Factor.

When Googling them, I found that they are actually really good! I loved their performances on X Factor UK of Bonnie tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, Kelly Clarkson’s My life would suck without you and Kids in America!

Gotta love their youthful energy in the video!
