Blood - The Middle East // Tuesday Tunes

Hallo Friends!!

Tuesday Tunes is here to bring you two treats. First of all, this song is called Blood. It's a simple song with a simple message. What's Blood to us? I am no interpreter but this song is enough to pave the way to nights of pondering about things in life that we don't normally touch through the day. Specifically, family life. It is a song that's very open to each individual interpretation.

"And you'll find somebody you can blame
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea

And you'll find the peace of the Lord."

Second, I introduce to you this YouTuber, Mree and her cover of this song. As I post more tunes, you will realise a pattern to what kind of music I listen to.This is mostly acoustic to folk tunes, soothing. Mree has a soothing voice. Incredibly relaxing to listen to after a full day. I recommend you go check her out. She's releasing an album soon!

Share me a song you're listening to recently? I'm very open to new material! :)

Love,
Adie

I Don't Mind // Take a break

You know what I'm thinking about right now as I sip on this hot beverage(hot water with slice of lemon)? Tall pines, long winded roads, blazing sun on my face and the wind against my cheeks, sitting in a car driving round without a clear thought of where I'm supposed to be headed. There seems to be a trend to my posts where I talk about being such a free spirit, I hope you don't mind. Maybe you can join me briefly, fantasising about magical places. It's very easy for me to imagine all this since I live in the city, now especially being in exam season, amidst my line paper pad, notes, multi-coloured stabilo felt liners, my post-it's filled wall and accounting audit lectures. Later in the future, I'm hoping I can visit such a place and live these dreams out.

What is to blame for this daydreaming break from revision is this song, arguably one of my favourite videos on YouTube. A singer/songwriter called Tim Atlas shot a video if I'm not mistaken in Canada and put his song as background. I won't explain more, but you have to listen to it. If I didn't mention it yet it is called I don't mind.

I do hope you enjoy this as much as I do. 

Please let me know if you're wanting to break free from regular everyday living like me even just for a little while! Anway, after that invite positivity in your day/night/afternoon/morning if you felt like things have been a bit too heavy or stressful. I hope things are/will be good with you. Smile, God loves you! :)

Love,

Adie xx

God and I , on the 237 bus.

This is the closest to what I was seeing on the bus. Picture from Google Images

Hi there, how are you today? I'm on the bus as I type this, on my way home from learning all about how to be an ethical accountant, as well as a bit of shopping. I got two pairs of quality black leggings from Zara and a bright orange spring jacket for my brother from Uniqlo. It's a very good day today.

I couldn't wait to type until I got home. As I sit in front of the bus with my £1 multicoloured sunglasses on from Primark, I look towards the sky and I am in such awe at how majestic the clouds and the sun are. The sky is calmly blue and the clouds are so white, light and fluffy, the sun's rays peeking through and it's absolutely amazing to see. My face is warm and the shy leaves finally start to come out and it puts a smile in my heart. I cannot help but think wow, what a beautiful place we live in. We easily just look ahead but rarely look up. I am also not particularly sad but lifting my chin up 120° from my neck has greatly lifted my mood. Who knew a bus journey could be so amazing?

I was praying for an opportunity to tell someone about the gift of life, although it hasn't been exactly answered, he had other plans that he wanted me to do today ie. writing this post. So if you're reading this, it's no coincidence, for reals! :-) He wants you to know that He can be your friend and that He would love to listen and respond. No typing, no talking even, no costs, absolutely free! Pretty awesome, isn't it?

What an awesome creator He is, literally. Awesome.

Look up to the sky guys. He is talking to us, showing Himself to us, if you only look up and see, He will lift you up.  Trust me, it feels amazing. I'm in cloud 9 right now.

Hope you are well. I have to get off the bus now. Laters! Take care :-)

Blessed Sunday // Home made treat

Let's start with this, I was looking for my phone just now, stood up rummaged through my bag, looked under my duvet, on top of drawers and found nothing. Surprise surprise, it was just right in front of me! aya yai and by the way this is a very faith-y post with pictures of home made afternoon treats

Must add description: soft, chewy, cinnamony, sugary niceness

I was back in church today after being absent last week because of my persistent cough. Naughty naughty virus. Our former pastor preached today and talked about Paul and his conversion, lovely miraculous story, and how his story is all about that pivotal point that believers often have. It got me thinking and remembering some things.

I would love these, please..

Itching to buy make up...NOTHING NEW HERE FOLKS. But I have been watching Make up artist Lisa Eldrige, reading Estee's blog (essiebutton) and I'm starting to believe that I have dry skin. No, I didn't just figure that out by just watching those videos. I have that problem where I put foundation on and it doesn't stay and worse, it sort of..gathers in just that dry spot, and looks flakey and NONE OF THAT! So, things I am wanting..

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

Sleek trio blush palette in Lace!

Real Techniques Core Collection


and hmm.. I should probably take pictures of my haul. I've not taken them out of their bags yet. I have found good bargains again. Yay!

I'm so thirsty.

Does anyone know of very good moisturisers for Dry Skin?

I'm sort of beginning to formulate a structured skin care routine. My, never thought I would say that! lol

EEEEEEyyydi x

ps to future Adie, you must write a post about Films everyone need to see or my favourite films or Shameless USA or everything else that's in your brain. k bai

The First Time

Ah! So I just watched this film called, The First Time. I am in bed and very ill. It's having to do with a very hands on job. It's sort of an in your face things with lots of high fives etc. I won't gross you out with the germs just spreading rapidly around in the air, in the centre. Sorry.

Anyway so it's this,

It was a really really chill film that I would happily watch again. It is your high school drama but with less cheese than usual. Flipped is a similar film. Click on it and discover a gem. I swear to you guys, Flipped is 9/10 in my books.

 Ah I'm rambling! No sense and structure. Hang on a second..

Sunday Dinner // Home made Italian

Hello Guys,

I just wanted to share how BOMB DIGGITY dinner was last night. This is by far my favourite type of eats. Simple dishes. Great taste.

We had a starter of that creamy mozzarella and large vine tomatoes with olive oil.. That salt and pepper on top..bomb  

Those tomatoes were so sweet

For the main, we had some pasta with tasty shrimps, spanish chorizo, fresh parsley and olive oil.  

It was so simple and damn gorgeous.

What did you have for dinner last night? I'd love to know! Happy Eating!!!

Hope you guys enjoy tonight despite the biting chilly weather. (for UK people :( )

Bloggin phillipine sleepin thins

As you can tell, this post is utterly useless, Ha!

I beg the spirit of sleep to come grant my wish of rest.

I am thinking about my childhood though. It was full of fun things like catching green grass hoppers and big black ants. Wow, I remember how they all used to jump when you step on the grass and how I tried my best to keep an eye on one. I got good at it.Skillful. Aw yeah!

A lot of rebellious cycling in my loudly pink barbie bicycle that led to cuts and grazes. Oh well.

I miss my dear 'ol Philippines

It's hard to be 25, you say? // Girls HBO

Where oh where do I start?

I have this problem where when I feel very strongly about something and have so many things to say about it, that when I'm required to write about the subject, for example in this blog, my mind goes into a mini haywire. I AM BLANK! Frustrating. *composing self*

If you are on the verge of becoming a self sufficient woman, but not quite there yet and you're just trying to hold on to depending on your parents, then this one is for you.

Plot: Four girls in their 20's who go about their lives. 

Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy

How long til I caught up to latest episode: Three and a half days

SLEEP

Why does he not come to your rescue when you need him most? I have been dreading being awake at this hour for a good few days now.

Last week, I fell ill. Fevers were so mean to me and did not let me move. The cold gladly bit me from head to toe. The night was long and deep. It called for him, called for him to peace.

Thank God, he heals.

Sleep, come rescue me.
