Phil Collins - True Colors

I am a true fan of the music of Phil Collins. His songs and lyrics touch me. They are down to earth and very much recognizable, yet also dreamlike and make you wonder off to a different world when you listen to it. It's full of emotion and suits every moment and every mood I'm in. When you close your eyes you can drift away on the rhythms or you can dance and laugh with the more bouncy songs. His lyrics are wonderful and today I want to share one of my favorites.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

So sad eyes
Discouraged now
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors

'cause there's a shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Beautiful, like a rainbow

Offer rejected

We made our very first offer in hope to buy our very first house! Unfortunatley this first offer was rejected by the seller. My boyfriend and I took the weekend to reconsider what the house is worth to us and how much we are willing to pay for it, and of course how much we can lend by the bank for our mortgage. This next week we are going to have a talk with our mortgage man and perhaps place a new offer. So, to be continued :D

Ciao!

Second House Viewing

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went for a second house viewing. We both invited our parents to join us and give us their critical opinions about the house. Even after that we both (all) still liked the house very much! Even this much that we are seriously considering to make an offer :D Real exiting!

Ciao!

Update House search

An update on our house searching process. We started about two months with viewings and up until now we have looked at 10 houses. We only viewed one house twice, but we decided it wasn't the house for us. Last week we saw a house, my boyfriend and I both really like. So we planned another viewing for next week. We both are really exited so we bring 2 other people for an objective view, but if it still appeals to us after next week we may have found our house! I'm really exited and a little nervous, because it is a big step of course, but I am looking forward to it!

Ciao!
