Once we had finally (aka Mr Snow deciding to prove public transport lacks the ability to follow a timetabled schedule when faced with the slightest chill..) made our way to Edinburgh on the 22nd December, we'd checked into our fancy room at the new Travelodge (yes i say fancy in the same sentence as Travelodge, but trust me our room was huuuge with windows all around and SO much space <3) we settled in to begin our our mini adventure in Scotland together!
Just look how beautiful Edinburgh at Christmas time is :)
view of Edinburgh from the Ferris Wheel... such a Spiritually-Christmassy location
me and my beauuutiful man on the Ice Rink <3 (freeezing may i add! hehe)
the gorgeous snow dusted trees outside on the train home.. :) it was our very own Winter Wonderland! Such a lovely lovely trip.. xx
I just thought i'd share with you quickly this nice and interesting advert for such an incredible cause. Not a cure, but definately helpful,a huuge start :) it made me smile of all the little and not really 'long-term useful' thing you can buy for 40 cents.. Make you think, are you using your money as wisely as you thought? I know my finance plans for 2011 need to be BUDGETED,thats a fact.No more needless spending on food or stupid "ooooo thats sweet, i bet *such-an-such* would lovvve that" natalie moments... :( well, maybe a few... if the *such-an-such* person has been good and deserves it.. :p xx
I don't know about you,but this advert always gets me smiling and sometimes brings a tear to my eye. It's just so lovely how the singing and dancing brings people together and cheers everyone up. After a long plane journey,it must be such a wonderful surprise :) I wish i could gather together some friends and meet somebody at the airport (or anywhere!) with a song and dance!Trouble is, i don't really have the confidence to be loud and have everyone looking at me. I think i'd just end up trying to burst out in song, be really out of tune, turn the brightest of reds and then giggle and run away to hide..probably being knocked over somewhere in the process. So inevitably, just wasting peoples valuable travelling/chilling out time before or after their flight..and being thought of as 'the nutter who made some sort of wailing noise when at the airport..'
But yes, back to the initial reason for posting.This is a lovely advert :) Well Done T-mobile.
Earlier on today, i was feeling very lathargic and in a cba mood,but had my itunes playing on shuffle and 'Always' by Bon Jovi came on, and immediately it took me back to when me and my fella went to see Bon Jovi in concert back in June this year. Oh it was AMAZING. Best gig ever :) We didn't realise just how big,yet compact, the arena was! and our seats ended up being really rather close to the stage!We were like "woooo Bon Joviii, you tha maan!" and then thinking he could probably hear us haha.
But anyway,on our journey back home, i realised that he never played 'Always' (which is definately one of my favourites) and so, whilst on the platform waiting for one of the many trains/tubes back, i decided to sing it to my man :) and i turned to him and said "Oh no he never played Always! :( " going on to say.. "....this Romeo is bleeding... but you cant see his blood...(little actions to go with the words..) it's nothing but some feelings(holds chest).. that this old dog kicked uup..." and he smiled. Then i went on.. "it's been rainin' since you left me, now im drowning in the flo-o-o-od.." (mimicking drowning actions) he laughed and said "alright, yes..now shuush" But i went on "..see i've always been a fighter,(*puts up fists*) but without you, i give uuuup!!(dramatically putting hand to forehead and sighing)" At this point he was like "shhhh silly... :p" then i carried on really quietly and building up "now i can't sing a love song, like the way its meant to be....but i guess im not that good anymore,*sad face* but baby thats just meee!" (through this 'singing' he's trying to cover my mouth and going "hey shhh,ur so embarrassing")
"and IIIII will lovvveee youuuu, babbyyyy, aaallwaaays!" both constantly giggling now and getting such funny looks from those around us, but people must've genuinely been in a good mood cos they just left us be. He then cuddled me reeeal close and kissed me as it was the only way to shut me up.. :p then i quietly went "and iiiill be therrre foreeever and a daaay...aaallwaaays" hehe.
I was actually surprised at how i could've done that,with lots of people around.though they were all probably pre-occupied with their own things and talking about the show and thinking about getting home to the warmth lol.In any case, i was incredibly red by this time.. (and im probably exaggerating how loud i was being -to make myself look good haha)
Oh aand i know this sounds so terribly soppy and 'gay' as some would say, but i don't care lol.I loved that memory and will always cherish it. lol.. I just gotta reiterate.. What an AMAZING performance Bon Jovi can put on!!! man he's energetic and just does not stop! and Kid Rock supported him(i wasn't really a fan before,so i didn't really know what to expect) but then he really rocked the crowd and was a great performer!
Definately would do go see Bon Jovi again in concert,recommend it to anyone who is even the slightest of fans :) x
Hey there.. So, I don't really know how to begin to write a 'blog' so I thought I'd let you in on something that makes me smile every now and then. The heart shape.
For I don't know how many years I have noticed this shape all around in the world, wherever you go there they are. Everytime I see one I point it out to whomever I am with and they say things like "heyy so it is!you always find them.." "how did you even see that from here??" and so on.. I have secretly felt proud of it for quite some time..but shh.
So basically, I might end up putting them on here to show you that really, 'Love is all around' Okay, that sounds waaay cheesy, but hey I don't care.. I'm not the girliest of girls, and this is something that makes me feel well, girly. So here are some more examples of where i've seen them... (Hopefully ill keep on top of this blog and post more important/interesting things than this, but hey this is a kind of icebreaker I suppose..)
