I hear the angels talking, now I'm a dead man walking.

Why is it that half the other classes got to stay home but we did not. That is unjust and should be illegal! I'm just joking but I think knowing the fact that half the school was at home today made the day just that much more boring. I was glad when school ended. I went out for a smoothie with Felicia and then came home and when I got home, after visiting the supermarket with my aunt first, I made dinner. Spaghetti and minced meat sauce, so good! And I'm glad that now I actually know how to make it myself. Other than that I've just been relaxing and watching some of the songs that might go through to the eurovision song contest.


I was not too impressed so instead I'll be picking a different song as the song of the day which is 'Dead man walking' by The Script. Ever since Olivia posted 'this is love' I've been listening to their album and really loving it so I think this is not the last you'll hear of them.



I say hurray to a free day as tomorrow is the first of May. :)


Yours sincerely,

If you let me

Almost finished with my room now!!!

Sorry about the mess that is my bed... I'm not exactly a neat person.

So on the picture you can see my new bookshelf, and the bright thing on the left is the window if someone wanted to know.

Pretty much all of my day was used to finding a good bookshelf and putting it together and unpacking my stuff. But I also had time for an evening run and some strawberry eating (whoop whoop).

The favourite song of today is "Take Care" by Drake ft. Rihanna. Although personally I like the cover by Florence + The Machine better (surprising, huh?) so I will post both videos below.

Hope you all take care of yourselves this week.

Yours sincerely

Stronger

I didn't do much today. I woke up almost at 1 then ran to the supermarket and when I came back I made a salad and then sat with my aunt and had a lovely lunch. After that I talked to my sister for a while which was great because I missed her and finally, I did nothing much. I watched TV and chatted which was also great, especially the chatting part. Nonetheless, I had a great day :D 
That's it from me really :)


The song of the day is stronger by Kanye West, judging by the comments people made it wasn't a very popular song because he 'stole it' from Daft Punk but I actually like it. I love Daft Punk too but this one is not bad either.

...or Russia

I have been cleaning and moving things around all day today, but I'm not quite finished yet. My room looks a bit messy right now but tomorrow I'm going to buy a new bookshelf and tidy up the last couple of things. That is why I'm not posting any pictures, I don't want you to see it until it's completely finished! But I can say this much, it looks bigger after all the throwing of stuff that I've been doing.

I thought that I would continue with the Eurovision Song Contest theme and chose a...special song...as the favourite of today. It's from Russia and I really don't know what is going on, but I thought that I needed some new perspectives of music so here it is: "Party For Everybody" by something I can't pronounce. Or write. Or understand.

I'm laughing so hard right now, I LOVE these ladies! Hope you all do too.

Yours sincerely

Wooooo! GERMANY!!!

I knew today would be a good day! Went swimming with some friends which was great. We swam for a few hours going on the slides, jumping around and just having fun then we went out for some food. I love kebab! After that some ben and jerry's ice cream. It was funny because we were sitting and just enjoying our ice cream and when we were done this random drunk dude came up to one of my friends and starts asking him something random. I think he was asking for 'the drugs' or something like that. Either way we ended that awkward situation by getting up and walking to the bus stop where I just watched my bus drive away. I had to wait another half an hour but it was ok. We walked to the main bus station, waited a little then I said goodbye and I was off. Unfortunately, I got a really irritating headache which is still lingering as I write which is why I am not filling you with details. Either way, just know that I had a pretty great day! :)


Before we went swimming we passed through town and there was some lady belly dancing. It was interesting. 

 I love these flowers. Makes me feel like spring is really here :)

And as for the song of the day. I picked this years eurovision song contest Roman Lob because he is the German representative. I was sooooooooooooo incredibly happy when I heard this because I really didn't want my own countries singer to sound like crap so when it was actually good, I was thrilled! Not sure if he will win, after all, Swedens representative is also really good but at least I like them both and think that the German singer is good. For now, I am content. 



Yours sincerely,

Standing Under A White Flag

I've put most of the things in my room in moving boxes and it feels really empty now. No I'm not about to move, I'm refurnituring my room a bit. It's amazing how much weird and wacky stuff you find! Now I'm laughing at myself for making the most un-funny pun this week -I'm not even sure that it counts as a pun-, and believe me I've made some extremely dull pun-jokes the last couple of days.

Anyway, the best thing I found was the cable to my camera charger, so tomorrow I will publish some pics of my "new" room, hopefully.

The favourite song of today is "This Is Love" by The Script, because we all need to feel love sometimes, or rather all the time.

Hope you all feel loved!

Yours sincerely

Everything in moderation

By 9:10am today, I was done with school. I only had one lesson and it was pointless going. If it wasn't for my overly guilty conscience I probably wouldn't have gone, I didn't do anything anyway but at least I saw my friends. That's always an upside. Other than that I've been feeling bad today. I woke up with plans to go to school then go swimming for about an hour or more but I felt so bad I ended up just coming home and sleeping and sleeping... and sleeping some more! A bit too much. I almost literally stayed in bed all day and I have gone back to feeling bad again. Aaaaaah! Anyway let's hope tomorrow is a brighter day. I'll be going swimming with my friends so that should be fun. One great thing of my day though was that I got to talk to my sister who is in Australia. It was great because I miss her so much. 

I played with this picture a little using an app on my phone but this is how I was feeling today. 

So the song of the day. Around the World by Daft Punk, I appreciate the weirdness of the video and love the band so, enjoy!

I hope you have a great weekend ahead of you!


Yours sincerely,
Eli
