It’s 2008 and this year I decided things will be different. Work all the time and no play are just not on anymore! This year I am going to have my special beach vacation- filled with summer sun, cocktails, beautiful sunsets and of course partying till the sun shines its first rays over the beach in the early morning.

As I’m discussing my plans for my beach vacation, everyone questions me on where I want to go. I answer that question with my requirements: 1. I want to be close to the beach- it’s a beach vacation afterall! 2. I want to be able to walk to the clubs and restaurants 3. I want to be able to actually see the beach from my balcony.

After going through all the hotspots in South Africa, I finally decided on Camps Bay close to Cape Town. My friends always go on about Camps Bay and after some thorough research on the Internet, I quickly concluded that Camps Bay is exactly the place that would suit my every whim.

Cape Town is the playground of the rich and famous, but along with that comes picture perfect beach vacations, people bronzing in the summer sun and long stemmed cocktails infused with colours and flavours!

The apartment I found is perfect for my beach vacation- even better it’s laced with a romantic vibe so I can take the love of my life with and have an absolute blast!

Beautiful Camps Bay ocean views, a private balcony, air-con, pool area, barbeque facilities- you name it they’ve got it. Best of all it’s one street away from the promenade where the streets buzz with people, the café’s entertain and the azure blue waters of the beach paint pictures on the sand.

Because Camps Bay is so full in December, I decided to book AND pay early- ensuring there’s no way for me to postpone yet another year. I can’t wait to go and explore the beautiful Cape and have lots and lots of summer fun!

Isn’t it time you rewarded yourself for all your hard work too?

Afterfall będzie grą z gatunku cRPG, wpisującą się w szeroko rozumiany nurt fantastyki, zwany postatomowym. Jak zapewniają twórcy, projekt połączy w sobie innowacyjność z doskonałą grafiką i fizyką, przyprawiając całość sprawdzonymi rozwiązaniami charakterystycznymi dla gatunku cRPG. Nicolas Games Intoxicate obiecuje ponadto nieliniową rozgrywkę, możliwość stworzenia własnej, niepowtarzalnej postaci, około dwustu modeli broni, ponad tysiąc różnego rodzaju przedmiotów (z możliwością własnoręcznego tworzenia i modyfikacji), wszczepianie implantów i protez wpływających na umiejętności bohatera, setki zadań i system organizacji, do których będzie można się zapisać.

Gra będzie wzorowana na hitowym cyklu Fallout. Świadczy o tym nie tylko zapowiadany klimat rozgrywki, umieszczenie fabuły w postapokaliptycznym świecie, ale także system Dynamicznej Walki Turowej, wprowadzający do rozgrywki element taktyki i strategii.

Afterfall zostanie wydany w wersji na komputery osobiste. Będą w niego mogli zagrać także użytkownicy systemu Linux. Nowe informacje na jego temat poznamy już wkrótce.

You're The Inspiration

You're The Inspiration By Chicago

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
CHORUS:
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring felling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more that I need you
And i know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And i know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

Hard Habit To Break

Hard Habit To Break by Chicago

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
CHORUS:
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
It's all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break
You found somebody else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin
After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that I just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind
CHORUS
2nd Chorus:
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break

Hard To Say I'm sorry

Hard To Say I'm Sorry by Chicago

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other

Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love

Hold me now
It is hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

Baby What A Big Suprise

Baby What A Big Surprise by Chicago

Right before my very eyes
I thaught that you were only faking it
And right before my heart was taking it

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
ohhohohhoh

yesterday it seemed to me
my life was nothing more than wasted time
but here today you softly changed my mind

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
ohhohohhoh ohhhohhoh

Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way.

Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway.
Baby, what a big surprise.

If You Leave Me Now

Live Performance

1977 Performance

If You Leave Me Now by Chicago

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go

Remember The Feeling

Remember The Feeling by Chicago

Shadows were hiding what I couldn't see
Out in the dark - she was calling to me
Calling to me with a voice I'd never forget
She was a vision I couldn't believe
I held her close so that she wouldn't leave
Suddenly helpless - hopelessly falling in love
CHORUS:
I remember the feeling
I remember the was
She came up and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there
Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within'
Was dreaming was it too good to be true
I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I was awoke she was gone
CHORUS
She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke, I could see that she was gone

Solo Career

The Glory Of Love

Glory Of Love by Chicago

Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

CHORUS
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

CHORUS

Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

CHORUS

We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love

Afterall

Afterall is the theme song for the movie Chances Are. The original duet is performed with Cher . This is one nice song not to be missed !

Movie background (note this is not the movie 'Chances are')

Live #1 by Cher

Live #2 by Cher

Live performance

Look at how Kim Keyes , the backup vocalist, funnily imitate Cher's style and she really sing as good as Cher !. From Peter Cetera Symphony 2003 at the Fraze Pavilion, Kettering, OH

When the first few lines of the song were sung, Kim teased Peter with an imitation of Cher's husky voice, and made us laugh by flipping her hair over her shoulder like Cher. After he feigned mock horror and mimed her to cut it out, Kim slipped into her normal singing voice and made the part her own.

Afterall composed by Tom Snow and lyrics by Dean Pitchford

Well, here we are again;
I guess it must be fate.
We've tried it on our own,
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight.

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new.
Every memory repeats,
Every step I take retreats,
Every journey always brings me back to you.

CHORUS
After All the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts,
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.
After All that we've been through,
It all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
Forever you and me, After All.

When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right.)
It lives from year to year.
It changes as it goes,
Oh, and on the way it grows,
But it never disappears,

CHORUS

Always just beyond my touch,
You know I needed you so much.
After All, what else is livin' for?

Afterall by Al Jarreau

Another beautiful song of the same name.

Afterall by Al Jarreau

There, there was a time I knew
That no matter, come what may, love
would prevail
And then inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fear
Can true love fail
Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven't I sung to you
Of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you

Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms

I know in my heart and mind
That no matter, come what may, love will survive
And love, the author of space and time
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive
And the love that heals the wound
After the war is through
Is the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you

Do You Love Me That Much

I just love this beautiful song, though the video is quite too hot/sensual to handle (This is not the original MTV video)... Check out the Geezer audio instead if you don't want to get turn on . Watch the video to see what I mean.

Do You Love Me That Much by Peter Cetera

Sometimes at night I lay awake,
Just to watch you sleep, hear each breath you take.
When the morning lights your face,
I just wanna hold you, and forget the day.
I live and breathe your every touch
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

When you look at me across the crowded room,
Suddenly I wanna be alone with you.
I hang on every word that leaves your lips,
Anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss.
Enough of you is not enough.
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

For so long, I've been trying to believe,
That someday, you'll fall as deep as me.
But it's just not there, love isn't always fair.

Would you want the best for me,
And I hope I find the kind of love you can't feel for me.
Could you find it in your heart,
To end this thing right now before it's gone too far
Let me go and give me up
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?
Do you love me that much?

Next Time I Fall

This is the duet with Amy Grant,  a well-known singer from the christian music industry.

Next Time I Fall by Peter Cetera

Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart upon the shelf
'Til the moment was right
And I tell myself...

(Chorus:)
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Oh, now, as I look into your eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight
Ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
Into this heart of mine

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
Next time, I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

(Repeat chorus)

Next time I fall in love
Oh, whoa, oh
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Forever Tonight

A duet with Crystal Bernard

Forever Tonight

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough
I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been loving you enough, oh baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one
I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do
When you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for real

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

Feels Like Heaven

A duet with Chaka Khan

Feels Like Heaven by Peter Cetera

All through my wandering years
I always said I was biding my time
All alone in the dark I'd face my fears
That no other heart would come to mine

At first when you found me
It took me a while 'till I realized
Why I felt weak when you were around me
Why I couldn't speak when I looked in your eyes

All this time I've been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me

Oh wherever you are
Invisible hands reach over the miles
For every wish you make to the stars
There's one silent kiss I send to the sky

All this time I've been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me

Everything's changed
Since you came my way
'Cause you put the color
In the world of grey
And you make the love
That carries me away

All this time I've been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me
Feels like heaven
Watching over me
