“If only love is so simple. Like a switch. Turn it on and off, make it transferable, refundable, negotiable, and most importantly, reversible.”
Yeah. That’s what I SAID.
My name’s not Summer, but I feel her when she said
Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

But what happened to those kisses, the smiles that meant the world in those oh-so-special moments…

And the magic that happened. I didn’t feel that with anyone else.

How many love stories that were told actually have a good ending? What’s good? And what’s beautiful?
How about being delusional about love?
Expectations vs reality.
Enjoy the difference.
Then it’s like…


Being bitter…and cynical about every single element about l0ve and relationships.
But really it’s driving you crazy just thinking about that person. Everything, every moment every breath…is a blur, yet so vivid.
Uh-huh.
You laughed so much and you wanted time to stop.


Deep down you know it doesn’t last. It won’t. Good things never do last.
And as you walk down memory lane. Maybe the person will come back to you.
Meanwhile, like Tom said,
“Either she’s an evil, emotionless, miserable human being, or… she’s a robot.”



Still waiting for that elusiveness to go away. Go away. Say bye.
Yes it is.
And finally, my name’s Melissa Jane.

In case anyone had ever wondered if good looks were genetic, this picture is the answer: yes and YES! Here’s a sneaky peek from the first ever ad campaign for Young Versace, a brand new children’s line from the Italian powerhouse, just for kids aged 0-12.
And who better to model the collection than the daughter of Gianni Versace’s muse and supermodel, Cindy Crawford? Crawford’s ten-year-old daughter Kaia models the collection for Spring/Summer 2012, which was shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The collection is a mix of typically Versace patterns and the Medusa head logo, mixed with more colourful, punky elements.

Cindy Crawford with her gorgeous family in 2011
The supermodel mother sounded super-proud when asked about Kaia’s involvement with the House of Versace. ‘I’m so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign,’ Cindy said. ‘I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace. Being on-set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her.’ Awww….
And it seems Mini-Crawford has a fan in Donatella Versace too. ‘Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift,’ the designer said. ‘The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!’
With Kaia already such a natural in front of the camera so young, great things from her is definitely expected in the future. Perhaps she’ll walk for the Versace runway show for Spring/Summer 2020? Let’s wait with baited breath. What a lucky girl she is to have a pro catwalker as a mum to show her the ropes!

沒有你的生活 我開始寫小說
好多畫面好多靈感 我要把稿費都給你
巷口不小心經過 你的車子依舊停在紅線
幫你繳罰單 你叫我別管 我才想到我們已經分開
*
想起那一個夏天 那不是那不是那是冬天
想起你生氣的臉 每天就像冬天 唉唉唉
你說那是愛愛愛
誰該堅強起來 月亮還是太陽
是誰遮了誰 是誰都會依賴
你說已分開 為什麼還要幫你撐傘
[Chorus]
Coz baby you are Mine Mine
Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine
Mine Mine
Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine
太快 就承認认 我真的很想你
會不會沒有男子氣概
You say Bye Bye
Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
Oh Bye Bye
Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
拆開 我的心隨你看 滿滿的都是愛
我的眼皮跳一下 代表你在想我
我的耳朵癢一下 代表你在講我壞話
我沒這麼不好吧 不用跟朋友說吧
如果以後和好了 看到你朋友不是很尷尬
騙誰 我說的氣話都收回
我寫的小說根本是空白黑夜
你說既然已分開 為何還要幫你撐傘
嘜嘜 你嘜擱嘜擱偷偷離開
嘜嘜 你嘜擱嘜擱偷偷離開
嘜驚 我不會放你一人治那
你想祙有人靠有人會疼
**
嘜吶 你雨傘雨傘趕緊打開
嘜吶 你雨傘雨傘趕緊打開
嘜鬧 落大雨你淋雨我艱苦
落大雨我没你會艱苦
