"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."- Audrey Hepburn

You gotta wake up slow

[2. Mar 20th - Banana Pancakes]

It's another weekend already and surprisingly, I have time today to allow myself an hour or so rolling around in bed and enjoying the morning before getting up for breakfast/brunch. I thought to myself, this would have been the perfect song for last Saturday, when the first spring sprinkles washed away the winter's depressing feeling and refreshed the world. This song just puts me at ease. The lyric says it all.


Banana Pancakes 
by Jack Johnson
Well can't you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside.
But Baby, You hardly even notice
when I try to show you
this song is meant to keep ya
from doing what you're supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep
making banana pancakes
pretend like it's the weekend now

And we can pretend it all the time, yeah
Can't you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe,
halaka ukulele
mama made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
cause you're my little lady
lady lady love me
cause I love to lay here lazy
we could close the curtains
pretend like there's no world outside

And we can pretend it all the time
and can't you see that it's just raining
there ain't no need to go outside
ain't no need ain't no need *mmmm* *mmmmm*
Can't you see, can't you see
rain all day
and I don't mind.

The telephone singing ringing it's too early don't pick it up
we don't need to
we got everything we need right here and everything we need is enough
just so easy
when the whole world fits inside of your arms
do we really need to pay attention to the alarm?
wake up slow, *mmm* *mmm* wake up slow
But baby You hardly even notice
when I try to show you
this song is meant to keep
from doing what you're supposed to
waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep
making banana pancakes
pretend like it's the weekend now.

And we can pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
ain't no need to go outside
ain't no need ain't no need
rain all day and I really really really don't mind

Can't you see, can't you see,
you gotta wake up slow.
Here's a song for the radio
Here's a line from the heart
[Az]

  1. This morning when I woke up I didn't have to pretend it was raining, because it always is in London. Despite the rain I can't pretend that I don't have to go out because, I had to, obviously.

    But my day was good~ I like spring rain that doesn't wet your hair. It makes me happy.

    Tomorrow, sunday, when you wake up, listen to this song -

  2. I was gonna click on the link right now and listened to it but I decided I should wait for tomorrow (Sunday morning) for the full effect, lol.

    I was looking for pancakes this morning but they didn't have any. My friend made me amazing French Toast instead (which reminds me of Buzzer Beat, lol).

    I am having a good day so far. Glad that your day was good. It didnt rain here, but it looks like it wants to ^^
