Good Experiences

1rs Experience

Explain you my last experience with Pepecar, this end of week happened fuí to Valency and needed a car of rent to collect in the airport of Manises, requested it by internet in a momentito and seemed us very cheap, since we looked in many other companies and the one who least cost was 40 more expensive euros that PepeCar. Request a Focus or similar and all the end of week went out us by little more of 60 euros.In the airport the management carried it a company called Centauro, that us dió the car in a moment. It was a Mazda 3 with least of 2000 km, totally new, clean and perfect, a wonder, with cd, and 150 cv. Us gave them with full tank and earned us 55 euros that afterwards us reingresaron the same day that delivered it because we gave it back full also. My opinion is very good, what does not like me so much is the attention to the client since we called to ask a telephone of contact with Centauro (because we arrived very fair with the airplane) and no us gave it, besides if you do not ask it with at least 24 h of antelación no you rent it although they remain cars (thing that do not understand).

Translation Hug

Quiero estar contigo en la cama de tu cuarto solo por un dia
Quiero hacer que duermas, confortable y llena de calor en mis brazos
Por ti, Yo puedo hacer que tus problemas y ocupaciones acaben,
a pesar del mounstro
de tus sueños

Me pregunto como pasas un dia sin mi?
Por ti misma, estoy curioso por saber, cuanto es
lo que tu realmente me amas
Yo quiero ser el diario, de aquel pequeño cajon que tienes
Quiero tener todos tus secretos en mi corazon, sin que tu lo sepas

Quisiera ser tu gatito solo por un dia
Tu lo alimentas con leche caliente y le das un suave abrazo
Viendote como juegas, con el gato,
Y ver los dulces besos que le das, me hace sentir un poco de celos

Mi corazon es asi
Tu eres la unica persona, quien lo puede ver
No importa, a quien vea, o donde este
Yo siempre te miro a ti

Quiero ser ese cercano amante solo por un dia
Aquel que esta dispuesto a escuchar tus logros a pesar de
tus protestas
Solo por ti
En mi corazon, en mi alma

El amor aun siente algo de dificultad para mi, pero
Yo quiero darte todo en este mundo
Aunque solo pueda hacerlo en mis sueños
Mi corazon es asi

Solo el hecho, de verte
Me hace muy agradecido,
Yo soy muy feliz, aunque me falte mucho por dar
Yo quiero ser tu amor por siempre
Cuando tu estas en mis brazos, siento que me convierto en una piedra
Y no podemos seguir asi

My Song: Hug

Hug
Once I say I love you I think you would be gone, oh baby
Cause we are too young to love so I can say let alone
Hold you in my arms

But I will be waiting for you
To say you want me to be with you
I'll live in your love and your dreams forever and ever

Whenever you look in my eyes
There are so many smiles and tears
I was born to love, feel so deep inside
If you need me, I'll be your man (I'll be your man)

Whenever you look in my eyes
I don't want to show you my love
I make up my mind, make your dreams come true
Nobody can stop me to say I love you

How can I ask you how
Still you're looking for other words, oh baby
Since love should still make me
When I try to fight all alone, but I can't at all

We talk on the phone every night
And so get closer day by day
I touch you, I kiss you, I hold you to feel but a dream

Whenever you look in my eyes
There are so many smiles and tears
I was born to love, feel so deep inside
If you need me, I'll be your man (I'll be your man)

Whenever you look in my eyes
I don't want to show you my love
I make up my mind, make your dreams come true
Nobody can stop me to say I love you

In my arms, in my soul
I want to hold you baby
You don know how much I love you, do you baby?
Like the sun rising up, I can't stop loving you
You can't hold back anymore

Whenever you look in my eyes
There are so many smiles and tears
I was born to love, feel so deep inside
If you need me, I'll be your man (I'll be your man)

Whenever you look in my eyes (in my eyes)
I don't want to show you my love
I make up my mind, make your dreams come true
Nobody can stop me to say I love you
