Listener

Do they really know you?
Know how you're doing?
Heard that you've just reached a milestone in your life?
Or that you're struggling with your head aches or that your cat has stomach problems and you're really worried?
How many times have they let you talk about your problems to them?
Did you notice that they always always just talk about themselves?
When it's time for you to talk, it's suddenly time's up.
You're missing out.
Friends.

I just had to. I hope it makes you giggle friends! xD
I believe not having rice for dinner is waving sleepy away. Because you know, carbohydrates knock you out snoring.

Sweet Dreams!

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

Warm Bodies Review *No spoilers* // Movie Mondays

Hi Friends! Here is a mini review, that is hopefully very easy to read, of the film Warm Bodies starring Nicholas Hoult. *Oh yeahh* Now to my thoughts on it...

Summary:- R (Hoult)  is a cold dead zombie who stumbles upon Julie, a living human, and falls in love with her.

What I liked about the film:-
  • Hoult did a decent job playing the R role and carried the film..
  • It had a love conquers all moral to the story.
  • Had very amusing moments, but not amusing enough to make me chuckle out loud.
  • I liked the "boneys" concept.
  • The pace caught up in the last thirty minutes or so.
  • It made me think about how the story was going to end for a good five minutes because the storyline is just one of the weirdest I've seen yet. Definitely didn't guess the ending to this one, oddly enough! (haven't read the book and will not ever)
What I did not like about the film:-

  • I thought the concept was way off. It just didn't make sense to me. 
  • Preferably films should keep zombies, zombies, meaning man eaters and brain eaters. 
  • The love story was very shallow. Because of what R did, the relationship shouldn't even have happened.
  • This was a slow starter. I usually know this is the case when I put the film on and I start browsing other pages and not paying attention to it. It wasn't grabbing enough! Not even Nicholas Hoult's eyes!
  • Story development was minimal.  It was the usual infection, survival of the fittest 'meh' of this genre. 
Should you watch it?
Sure, if you have time to kill and you have absolutely no other choice. Will I pick this over Dumb and Dumber? I would, any day. That film annoys me, just the title.... Anyway, this is a one time watch. Nowhere near Shaun of the Dead standard. If you're curious enough how a love story between a 'corpse', what they call the zombies in the film, and a human then please do. If you can take a bit of the corny concepts and just looking for a quick rom-com, this is also for you. Otherwise, you're probably better off doing the laundry and folding clothes whilst watching the news... Nicholas has other better films.

Have you seen this? If so, I would love to know what you thought of it! :) 

Love,
Adie

The lead actress is practically Kristen Stewart's long lost twin! Have a secret obsession with Kristen. I love her style. I love her straight face. I love her. Oops, I guess it's not so secret anymore...

FOTD and NOTD // chillaxin

Last week I didn't feel like having any nail polish on, and it's the weirdest thing because I change nail colours every two days! It was a heavy make up experimentation week so I think the creative rush went into the eyes a lot resulting into completely neglecting the nails. Someone tell me I'm not the only one who gets weird swings like this. 

However it has turned around and I'm back to the minimal make up and so this is my take on the no make up make up! And my nails are back into full on bam in your face! *giggle*

When we were in love, if we were // Laura Marling

I absolutely missed being inspired to write posts. I am one who hasn't conquered how to manage exam periods, but now that it is finished, hopefully the mojo will be back! Positivity!

Watch Listen and Tell is coming for another appearance on my blog and I've written a post on a song that you could go check here. But their latest video featured Laura Marling, and the song is called I Was An Eagle.

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
