Meloncholic Midweek Mumbles

Aloha Bandellas

Sometimes the worst of things allow you to appreciate the joys in your life. Wednesdays for me are the best and the worst of days. *fangirl mode initiated* Wednesday was the day I saw four of my favourite people perform live, so naturally, I fangirl the hell out of myself on Wednesdays. However, Wednesday is also the day which Zayn left One Direction, I mean who will ever forget the bleak Wednesday evening, the 25th, where Zayn thought he could get away with breaking up with millions of fans over a Facebook status. I know everyone is probably thinking OMG NURAAN GET OVER IT. I swear sometimes I am over it, and then sometimes I'm just not. ANYWAY...

Back to explaining why Wednesdays are bipolar. Its sort of the day of the week that gives you hope that the weekend has not left you forever, you can sort of smell the perfume of Friday night already.But then, it is also the night you probably have the most work. Right now I am procrastinating so hard. I have spread all my history readings across my bed but am happily listening to Lana Del Reys' Young and Beautiful  whilst writing this over sensitive blog post.

I am fully aware that this mumbling probably has everyone questioning my sanity, but I assure you that I am equal parts sane and sarcastic.

Have a blissful week and ignore anything or anyone who wants to force their negativity on you.
Love you somtimes humans
Till next time

STRANGER DANGER

Aloha Bandellas

Deeply and sincerely apologizing for being so absent on this forum. University has, in every way crusaded time for doing 'fun stuff' . 

I have craved to just blurt out everything on my mind over the last weeks, but writing academic essays with references and errthang has just been so creatively stifling. Today I woke up with the purpose of having a good ole' internet rant (and rave) about this CRAZY past few weeks...

1) Zayn Maliks One Direction Departure

3 words: I WAS GUTTED. I spent 3 day sobbing continuously, even in public. It was three days before my birthday and a week before the much anticipated Cape Town concert and I just couldn't handle it. Like a typical girl and I blamed the world for being against me, and detested everyone around me for a solid 48 hours. I began to do a lot of reading, about Zayn, the band, NAUGHTY BOY ( gagged while typing that) and came to realise that Zayn decision will STAY his decision, no matter how many times we angrily tweet him, shed copious amounts of tears on, he will not come back. As heartbreaking as it is we are still left with an incredibly talented foursome. They have picked themselves up from this and stayed. I can attest for the incredible vocals and April 1st, 2015 I saw them live and they left me completely stunned. They are the best boyband in the world for a reason. I will continue in all my fangirl efforts to support them on their tenor.

2) MY BIRTHDAY :'D

Despite the tragic week, my birthday weekend was everything I could of hoped for. I spent it with my close friends and family and made some fond and happy memories. Turned out to be one of the best ones yet. I am now 19 and in my last year as a teen. Seems completely crazy as I sometimes still feel like a 12 year old. Life is a whole lot of different exciting when you this age. Just so grateful to have so many amazing people to share memories with.
Here's to 190 more years!

3) FINALLY, in the past weeks I've left skinny jeans and liquid eyeliner for some hiking boots and laughs up mountains. For two consecutive weeks I trekked up mountains with my brother and cousins. I will give you a minute to laugh that off. But yeah, my rawkus laugh and weak ankles went over rocks to admire valley views and waterfalls. Being surrounded by the majestic beauty created by  God puts a lot of things into perspective. Minuscule things like no electricity (coughs, eskom), spending time crying over boybands and hating statues (sigh, South Africa ey) don't even matter when being confronted by such beauty.

Writing has always been my escape from the world. Feeling 100 pounds lighter now that I have written this post!

Till next time lovelies
Nuraan
