Westlife - Safe

I know the people my age (all) love Westlife! Those days saw us belting out hit after hit of Westlife's karaoke friendly tunes. Those were the days where I would have gladly thrown my bra on stage at any given Westlife concert!

Harharhar.

Well, though the white hairs have sprouted and wrinkles sorely etched onto skin, I feel like a teenager again with Westlife's new single.





Hard to find a way to get through
It's a tragedy
Pulling at me like the stars do
You're like gravity
Even if the wind blows
It makes it hard to believe

How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
And If you lost your way
I will keep you safe
We'll open up all the world inside
I see it come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

Doesn't even matter to you
To see what I can see
I'm crawling on the floor to reach you
I'm a wreck you see
When you're far from home now
Makes it hard to believe

So how ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

If you've lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all your world inside
Til you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

We all fall down
We all feel down
Cos rainy days and summer highs
The more we pray the more we feel alive

How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real
How ya gonna love
How ya gonna feel
How you gonna live your life like the dream you have is real

If you've lost your way
I will keep you safe
Well open up all your world inside
So you come alive tonight
I will keep you safe

Well I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe

Rihanna - Cry

I love Rihanna's ballads because they have this uncanny knack of putting those tear ducts into overdrive.




I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'Cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye

Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole 'in love' thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing

My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' 'round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm losin' grip, what's happenin'?
I strayed from love, this is how I feel

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed?
'Cause it's hurtin' me to let it go
Maybe 'cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more

I shoulda never let you hold me baby
Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give to you on purpose
Gotta figure out how you stole my heart

My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' 'round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm losin' grip, what's happenin'?
I strayed from love, this is how I feel

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

How did I get here with you? I'll never know
I never meant to let it get so personal
And after all I tried to do, stay away from lovin' you
I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know
And I won't let it show, you won't see me cry

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
(You'll never see me cry)

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
On my life


I just LOVE Rihanna!!!

Bad Habits Die Hard

How apt it is when the gossip mongers cluck their tongues in unison to slither the words “a leopard never changes its spots”...

My body tingles with an irrepressible urge. My mouth dries out.

And I brush my fingers nervously across my lips, only to feel the cracks upon.

On the bed, I can’t help but twist and turn. My heart races. My lungs on fire.

I bite my tongue and pace around. My mind, already beyond space. Logic escapes.

I try to busy myself. To detach my thoughts from the desire to be with you. With you.

I can no longer breathe. No longer think. Too lost in you.

Just you.




Steadily, will power dissolves into the night air. My feet, possessed. My mind, hypnotized.

In a waking moment, I find myself gazing across the counter. My finger points to you.

Crisp notes slip from my hands.

The transaction completed.

A click, then a swoosh. And a flicker of orange dances.
I pull you to my lips. My anxiety vanishes. My head starts to spin.

Drawing a deep breath, rainbows appear.
My world, suddenly spectacular again.


My beloved Texas Five.

Stop And Smell The Roses

Meet Rose, the newest citizen of my cupboard. Hohoho...

This bag is made from smooshy, buttery soft nappa leather in an understated black which smells just divine! I can't stop myself from running my hands up and down the bag. Hardware and the infamous lettering logo comes in shiny gold. Swoon. The rose accents are also made from nappa, which has been lovingly coiled and sewn onto the front of the bag, together with a single leaf for added drama. Salivates.

It comes in a variety of colors (purple, fuschia etc) but I settled for the evergreen black.

This bag converts into a hand carry that looks great as an evening bag with its sturdy double rolled handles. Alternatively, snap on the attached sling and it transforms into a casual crossbody bag that still maintains an air of formality. A true statement piece!

I love it to bits!
