Music & Lyrics: Vol 2



Sara. Bareilles

(Gravity)






No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here till the moment I'm gone







                                                            
You hold me without touch
And you keep me without chains
                                                     


You loved me cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong...but












                                                  <Chorus>

Here I am and I stand, so tall
Just the way I'm supposed be
But you're on to me... all over me


<Hook...gets me EVERYtime>
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're
Everything I think I need here on the ground














                                                                                   Something always brings me back to you...
                                                                                                                   It never takes too long


The track of one of my best So You Think You Can Dance routines yet...

Black Mass 'Blackout'

I honestly cannot believe myself.
After months of waiting ever so patiently for something only to not experience it exactly the way you imagined it.

I frigging dozed off not once...not twice..not even three times while I watched my lover, Johnny Depp (yeah, we've been together since his Jack Sparrow days) at the movies! I felt like I betrayed him *sad face*

*sigh* That's it. The world certainly is coming to an end.

Wait, wait...hold up!
Don't get me wrong. It's not like it was a boring piece. My, was I craving to see Johnny in a whole different role for 'once'. Was I simply craving to just SEE my hunny's face on the big screen after quite a long time. But fatigue has a way of rubbing off on your senses. Never underestimate the power of being at the back seat, cuddled up in a shawl in a chilly hall and soooo dang tired after a long day at work...and in traffic as usual.

Therefore, I have made it a conscious plan to see Black Mass again. Not in the cinemas this time. We all know there are other means to this end. (Don't want to get sanctioned by the Internet police)



Dear Johnny;

You do know I love you right? This was not personal, trust me.
I would certainly make it up to you babe.

Till then
xoxooooo

*Call me crazy...crazy in love. Don't judge me*

Oh yeah! How could i forget?
A couple of cool dudes and my humble self run a movie review blog called Sodas and Popcorn (get it?).
Be a peach and check it out when you get the chance: Sodas And Popcorn


Adios!

A Moment of Silence for Big Chuck *tears of red wine *

Honestly, I don't know what's been going on with my tear ducts these days. Feels like my sister passed some of her preggie hormones on to me. It's getting out of hand.
I mean, who cries during an episode of Cougar Town? Cougar Town for Pete's sake. *sigh* I think I need to get myself checked

Or probably it was just the sadness raging from the fact that I won't be having my imaginary glass of red wine with the Cul de Sac crew anymore *tears tears tears*
Cougar Town is over! Heavens no!!!! Well, it's been over for a couple of months now but I just never got round to getting all the episodes at a go.

But tbh this was probably one of the most emotional scripts Coquette has ever shot in the series. The end got me like...sniff *brings out tissue*

*back to wailing*
I'm gonna miss you Jules, Grayson, Ellie, Bobby, Laurie, Travis, Andy and even weird Tom!!
Save a spot for me in Jules' island! :(
....well maybe not

That Awkward Moment...

Urgh.
Like I have been chanting for the past 15 hours thereabout, 'Never again'
'Never again what?' you all may ask. Well, never again would I find myself in quite an awkward slightly embarrassing 20 plus minutes of my life.

Let me back up a bit and start from the beginning. Well literally it's just been a couple of days anyway. Wednesday to be precise
Oh well, there is no major story to it. Let's just say I 'met' some dude who has been a pain in my arse for days now. Annoying thing is he is quite charming...still an arse though, plus a great distraction for me. Been off work for a week and had little or nothing to do so *shrugs*

But then we meet up with a couple of others, I jokingly bully him out of his seat with no inkling he was seated beside 'her' (trust me I had no intentions whatsoever) chatted with him for most of the evening like we have known  each other for years.
Let's just say I was treading on someone else's territory and boy did I feel kinda silly afterwards.

Dude said I'm such a drama queen. Well sometimes its better to be all about the drama than a 'drag queen' (not in the literal sense, thank you very much)

Next time read the signs Kiki. Read the frigging signs.
Never again.
Okay. It's actually not that deep...but still

 *insert PhotoCredit here*

Till another opportunity poses itself, I'd admire these awesome art pieces (btw John Madu is one heck of a talented artist) and sip my glass of white wine and nibble on some cashews like an influential rich and famous young woman who can buy all them artworks while I'm at it.

#FCF

I bet some of you don't know that food is possibly the easiest way to Kiki's heart.
One person that does know however is the big sis. Takes a foodie to know a foodie. This just in and made my weekend already!



Ok. Let me 'introduce' everyone mentioned herein;

Keke- The big sis
Toyin- The youngest sis-in-law (numero uno aburo!!! *high five*)
Dijimi- The sweetest nephew ever (well, prior to the other ones yet to come)
Ese- The 'twin' sis-in-law (married to the bro-in-law's twin brother)
'Daddies'- The twin fathers (who happened to not be invited...hehe)
Arinze- The big bro
Afam- The 'bigger' bro (comes after the big sis and before the big bro...get it?)
Then there is baby Dabira aka 'Dab-Dab' the 'twin' niece-in-law (Ese's baby), who isn't mentioned on here (probably cause she can't eat pizza just yet)


Now, no food tastes better than free food.
Hence, the sis gets the spot of my very first #FCF- Female Crush Friday. Well she pretty much is my Female Crush/ Woman Crush all day any day anyway *shrug* (Plus my momma of course)

But oh 'Food glorious Foooood! *in Oliver Twist's voice*

*skips into the sunlight*

Music & Lyrics: Vol 1

                                                       

  Kelly. Clarkson
   (Invincible)   

I was running from an empty threat
Of emptiness
I was running from an empty threat
That didn't exist
I was running from an empty threat
Of abandonment
I was running from an empty threat
That didn't exist









                                                 
                                                  Skrillex & Diplo with Justin. Bieber
                                                             (Where are you now?)

I gave you attention when nobody else was paying
I gave you the shirt off my back, what you saying? 
To keep you warm
      I showed you the game everybody else was playing, that's for sure
          And I was on my knees when nobody else was praying, oh Lord...


Just some few lyrics I felt were worthy to share--Justin. I know right?

Shocker!

Platform Shoes and All Things Pop

Gossip Girl Season 04 Episode 07 in the year 2010. (5 solid years ago...Geez. Time has no chill whatsoever)
That's where and when I knew Robyn existed.

And I just had to google her up. No. First I downloaded the song 'Hang with me' which was featured in that episode. Couldn't help myself.
Then, I googled her up.

Just the other day out of sheer boredom I was going back through memory lane on YouTube- GG to be precise. Though it's hard to admit, I do kinda miss all the drama and what-nots of the so-called Upper East Side. Reminds me of when I had nothing to really worry about *urgh*

From link to link I recalled different tracks from the series and Robyn obviously came up.

And I just loved her all over again.
Platform shoes, boy cut, vocals and all.


If you're keen on giving any of her hits a listen, you should go with 'Hang With Me'- the Avicii mix. (Love!)
Oh! And there's my fave vid of hers, 'Call your girlfriend'. Ignore the lyrics. Just watch her bust some 'European' moves...who would've thought?!
