B & W
you gave me shade
when the sun was too bright
you carried the umbrella
when the rain poured at night
you held my hand
when we crossed the street
you'd laugh at my habits
and our love was discreet
you were the wind
that played with my hair
you were the thoughts
that got me to care
you were the truth
when I couldnt bear lies
you were the lips that told me to try
you were the love
that stole all my fears
you were the hand
that wiped away tears
something had happened
silence broke free
my fairytale ended
and you left me alone, never to see
the roads they are silent
walking unknown
no umbrella in hand
and so very alone
and when i cross the street
people keep driving
never to stop
for someone just arriving
careless words
muttered slow
things a blur
with no control
you'd say one word
and all was right
but now your gone
plain black and white
when the sun was too bright
you carried the umbrella
when the rain poured at night
you held my hand
when we crossed the street
you'd laugh at my habits
and our love was discreet
you were the wind
that played with my hair
you were the thoughts
that got me to care
you were the truth
when I couldnt bear lies
you were the lips that told me to try
you were the love
that stole all my fears
you were the hand
that wiped away tears
something had happened
silence broke free
my fairytale ended

and so very alone

re-runs
"tinky winky, dipsy, la la, po...teletubbies...teletubbies, say hello"....
and it goes on and on, and... on. it's my tuesday anthem. while i'm busy on facebook, kids are enjoying teletubbies dvd's, keep changing it, one after another...i can't win over them.
the song keeps echoing in my head and i just laugh the way they react or sing with the characters.
but this must stop.
too much tv isn't cool =)
"Kids, time for bubble bath!" they love playing in the tub full of bubbles, so no argue about turning off the dvd (for a while).
after they had flooded the bathroom and all, i dressed them up, gave them their snacks (nuggets and biscuits)...they finally had a nap.
my dvd turn. time for my re-runs...
Leolandia Park, Part 3
A. Aquarium
Rules:
-do not use camera flashes
-never tap the glass
-don't feed the fishes
-don't eat the sharks - ooops! i made that up.
There's also the other section: Reptiles, but cameras are not allowed. they don't want the pythons and all the snakes to be disturbed and get wild. precautions are needed.
Rules:
- animals having sex is allowed..=)
- you can feed the goats with lasagna, pizza, ice cream, etc.
- never touch the horses, they might kick your face
relax..i invented those rules!
seriously, the animals are behaved. see? they're in open spaces, except some birds.
Tips:
-bring your own snacks, as much as possible. foods are expensive in stores. there are lot of free picnic area to eat freely anyway.
-when you can't stand the heat, eat inside the restaurant and order something. water, for instance. it's cold inside.
- if someone's treating, order what you want! =)
pane prosciutto (bread with ham & cheese)
margherita pizza
Rules:
-ready your hands for clapping and singing. italian audience participates so well.
-if you don't understand italian language, clapping would be fine and smiling at yourself ('coz you don't know what's happening) is allowed.
All in all, our weekend get away is worth the heat and the entrance fee.
We'll be back there for sure!
