♥ 256th Day ♥

My apartment

2011-05-24T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hello ♥
Maybe I should start update this again!
I felt rather down and stressed about the blog.
What to write and what to say?
I figured I don't write to please or to be popular so let's start again ♥

I moved into a new apartment and it's rather nice to say.
Here is a small video for you all to watch ----> here

Also I took some photos the other day about my current look and decided to post it all.
It's a shame I never took a close up on my Make-up.
Need to learn to do that more often.

Anything else? I took some pictures I could put up later, been to some parties and a gal meet too! There is one soon with Lovelipop I was thinking about to attend ♥

This is what they first looked like:

Fluffy heels with stud details!

Dinner
Cheesecake, water, tea, bread, salad (shrimp and egg) and curry rice with chicken.

Breakfast
Bread, assorted meat, grapes, tomato, tea, water, jam, yogurt with peach cream.

SO! Was is the first thing I do after 13 hours travel from Sweden to Japan? I GO TO DISNEYLAND! OF COURSE! My friend called me a super hero, I think he is right.

I always wanted to go since age of 10 so this is a dream come true for me!!

I got a very few pictures sadly.

Food at the 'Queen of hearts' restaurant.

I only had a fruit-cup but you got that cute cup too♥ And also some grape soda.

More food and drink. Orange drink with strawberry cream puffs ♥

Day 9 , London ♥ THE END!!

2010-07-28T03:43:00.000-07:00

This would be our last day in London. This makes me very sad. I would have loved to spend so much more time with Alice. She truly is one of those friends you be super sad to be without ♥ She is AMAZING ♥

Oh oh! Before we start this post off I would like to post some pictures from the night before at the club. I was drunk but hey, don't we all love these pictures? ♥

This is what you can do with a paper tissue when you are drunk.

Looks fab on me ♥

Say hello to my little friend...ALICE ♥
Oh yeah the face of mine!!

She is so cute and I like her Vintage style ♥
I wish I rock clothes like that ♥

So that where some of the pictures from that night. Took me ages to pick them out. I guess I wanted to look as pretty as Alice at the pictures ♥

So! The last day. DUN DUN DUN.

We got up in time to get to the bank by Picadilly and waited for a long 15 minutes but....no of the cash machines was in order inside so oh hey. We had to do somewhere else and after that we headed to the Japanese bookshop. I was hoping to find WE ROCK or at least a gal magazine. Nothing. I ended up buying all my magazines at Japan centre. Still cheaper than in Sweden.

After all this we went to Bearded papa. A really nice place with Japanese cream puffs ♥ I had mine with chocolate cream!! A cream puff and some Popteen reading. FAB!

How good does that not look? And look at the coffee mug!
Bearded man, cute ♥

CREAAAAM PUFF ♥

By this some more shopping followed and in the end we ended up eating at WAGAMAMA before she went for her train hope and me to air port.

SIDE NOTE! It's funny that the place is named WAGAMAMA (わがまま) Wagamama is Japanese for Selfish/selfishness/egoism. Maybe it's selfish to go and eat there since it's so good? ♥

Yum yum! It was really good!

That is the end of my London saga and I miss it so much already! I want to go back as soon as I get back from Japan. LONDON I LOVE YOU ♥♥♥

I want to meet Alice again, I want to see my girls, the food, the shopping,The people who I never had time to see (T__T), the laughs...all of it again + more♥♥♥ Thank you all for this wonderful time ♥

Emmelie ♥

Day 8 , London ♥

2010-07-27T10:15:00.000-07:00

SO! Ages later I will now update with another London post.
I guess things been upside down and stressful as well! But here is the post.

At the 8th day me and my friend Alice went to BBC for a guided tour.
We got there too early so we decided to check out some shops in a nearby shopping centre. A lot of sale but nothing that fit.

When the tour finally started they showed us around all over the place.
There was very little of Dr Who which I had hoped for but better some than nothing!

Me and Tardis ♥
(Oh my am I wearing flats?)

EXTERMINATE!!

We later visited several places such as Victoria and Albert museum, The natural history museum, lunch at Starbucks and walked around in Kensington.

It was really good ♥

I would love to live like this.
Kensington.

We also went to the most wonderful little shop with vintage underwear. What Katie did it's called and well worth a visit! If you like beautiful underwear I think you should visit if you have the chance.

I think it's very charming ♥

And since this was our last day in London me and my friend decided to go out for a drink! It's not very hard to find a place to get a drink at around where we lived but we ended up in some cozy one with crazy bartenders!

I have no idea what we has but it all taste so delicious.

My friends second drink they set on fire!
All very cool. Wish I got a photo of that.

All and all a very nice day in London together with Alice ♥
Tomorrow will be my last London post but also the last day before going to Japan ♥
I'll keep you toned!

Shopping time ♥

2010-07-20T04:57:00.000-07:00

It's now 8 days left for Japan ♥
I told myself to save and I have done that!
Just that I bought some stuff I really do need for Japan...
...okay I did not need a pair of gyaruo boots but I like them so much ♥
(Will look really good with a pair of jeans with patches on!!)

What I bought:

Some new make up
sponges - to apply foundation with
Big make-up brush - to apply powder with
Plastic file (dots ♥) - to keep my make up in my bag
Foundation - From Make-up store. I love that shop ♥

Gyaruo boots! Could not resist.
They have patches on them saying 'racing' 'speed 69'
My inner speed racing and 80's fan screamed of happiness ♥

Sandals
I really needed a pair of shoes for LONG walks.

AND EXTRA!
I dyed my hair back to my normal color.
My real color is SILVER GRAY.

No styling, no make- up. This is all natural me.
Naked beauty ♥

I'm not kidding you all.
In Japan I'm going to add extensions.
I'm going to ask my friend to check if the saloon we are going to got grey and if not I will add black ones and dye my under hair black Y/N?

Day 7 , London ♥

2010-07-15T04:16:00.000-07:00

On the morning of the 7th we got dressed since we where going to the ZOO ZOO ZOO (HOW ABOUT YOU YOU YOU? ...Silly song my friend taught me ♥)

I never been to the London Zoo before but I love Zoo's so of course we had to go to this one! We got up early, had an early breakfast and than headed off.

Somehow we managed to pick the day when every school in the country wanted to go to that Zoo but it was okay I guess. COME ON IT'S THE ZOO!!

So when we got there we had so much to pick from.

First we went to the reptile house! I love frogs and snakes ♥ Those really are my thing ♥

YES! That is a snake

Froggy froggy! Can you see it?

This one is so very pretty but as deadly

THEY RECORDED HARRY POTTER HERE! As the HP geek I am I got all excited ♥

After this we went to see numerous of animals. I'm not going to show you all the pictures but some of them

The famous Animalis Emmmelies!!

This tiger woke up while me and some kids looked at it! It decided to jump up on us

Me lost in the jungle

Oh just look at it! How cute is not that?

Munch munch munch

Oh yeah! Guarding the family from the evil homo sapiens!

On his back sleeping ♥

Mother and child

A moth in the butterfly house

Another butterfly ♥

I love Penguins and this little one was really cute ♥

More Penguins since they are my favourite animal ♥

We also did Brick lane after this and did some vintage shopping. Brick lane really is great for that! Too bad I did not have more money left but I ended up with 2 pair of shoes, 2 scarfs and numerous other things. Pictures later in my 'what I bought in London' post.

On a wall we passed in Brick lane

Later that evening we had dinner at a Swedish dining place named Fika. I was very excited since I am Swedish and my friends kept telling me that the British can't make food and non the less other countries food. This place proved my friends wrong.

We sat by this one! Fika ♥

The bar at 'Fika'

My friend eat one of the most traditional things ever when it comes to Swedish food. Meatballs, mashedpotatoes, brown sauce with lingonberry jam. To it the had a really good elderberry wine! I wish I would have picked that instead of water.

This is not what her food looked like but what it looks like back in Sweden!
I tasted her food and it was just as good ♥

Myself picked 'Plankstek' It's steak served on a plank with grilled mash around and served with Bearnaise sauce

Once again not the Plankstek I had but it looked the same and taste the same ♥

As dessert we had the Swedish Chocolate cake. It's a really rich and tasty chocolate cake. I first did not want any since I did not know if I had any room for it but made some anyway. As me and my friend say: Girls have 3 stomachs. One for chocolate, one for food and one for cake!

Cake ♥

We had a really good time and I also had a chance to speak Swedish. It's fantastic to speak your native language if you spent a week with another. When I move to London this is going to be my hangout ♥

Me and my best friends took some pictures some days ago!
Inspired by the music we love and listen to the most: 80's Japanese metal ♥

It's not what most would call gyaru but I really need to use this later and do a gal style on it.

Enjoy!

Rock on ♥

Look fierce

Day 5 + 6, London ♥

2010-07-12T08:43:00.000-07:00

On my 5th day I was my day on my own before my friend arrived to London and concert time ♥

This day I just run around in London and took photos of my BJD doll at various famous places in London like the Tower bridge and St Pauls cathedral.

Here is some pictures:

St Pauls cathedral rose garden

Still in the garden

You can see tower bridge in the back

Tower bridge. It's also my current wallpaper ♥

After going all that way I took a red bus to the Elephant and Castle station. Quite a bit when other stations are closer but I really wanted to just ride by the bus for a while.

It's super exciting to sit in the very front on the top level of the bust when you don't have buses like that where you live. At least for me ♥

After all this I got dead tired and went to sleep in my bunker bed at the hostel.

At my 6th day my friend Alice arrived ♥ She is one of my closest and most beloved ones so I was looking forward to meet her a lot ♥ I got all nervous while waiting for her (of course with no reason really since she is super ♥)

We met up at St Pauls subway station and together got to Oxford street to our new hostel. I decided to live at St Pauls when Oxford was booked up but moved there later with my friend.

When we finally got there we dropped our baggage of, did some refreshing and than got to know the hostel some before we left to shop on Oxford street and Westwood.

Got some stuff at the TOP SHOP sale and NOTHING at Westwood. I'm proud of myself to not buy anything in there. I saved my money for underwear later.

We also went to Japan centre bought some snacks, Ageha and had lunch. Really nice. (one of the cashiers working there had long hair and looked most delicious ♥)

Sushi from the Japan center

So after all this we got back to our room, dressed up and went to the Versailles gig.
I ADORE VERSAILLES. Well mostly Kamijo since I listened to his music since very young age. Felt good to see him live once again. Last time was last year.

This was my outfit for the live:

Mori girl

I find myself to be a gal and I love trends but also I do love Lolita and all things such...and I just had to try Mori once more. I think it fit the whole gig as well.

I had a fab gig, met new people, laughed and cried but most of all I felt happy. I had a wonderful time.

Bread and shoes, all a girl need ♥

2010-07-11T09:20:00.000-07:00

Some days ago my grandfather died and my whole family been in chock.
Instead of spending time in my apartment I spent my time with my mother at my parents house.

How to spend long days with too many thoughts in mind?
I baked.

First up was Donuts!

Donuts ♥

Mine was not too even (more like Danish pastry) but once put in sugar they really did taste like donuts. Took me like 15 minutes from start to end to make them! Thank god no one could see what my mothers kitchen looked after that .

Next: Ciabatta bread
I love this bread even if it's not too healthy. I eaten it for bread but it was not until 3 years ago when I went to Italy that I believe that I really started to love this bread.

Me and some friends went to see the Colosseum in Rome. So warm but we still decided to buy overpriced water and something to eat - Ciabatta with oil, fresh tomatoes and Mozzarella.

Freshly baked Ciabatta ♥

I never had anything so fantastic in my life. I highly recomend it! make your own bread or buy it, but some oil in first (instead of butter) than the tomatos and Mozzarella ♥ you can also put it into the oven and warm it all up : It's super!

Enough talk about bread and how to eat it!

I know you all are waiting for an update of my days in London and instead I'll upload my new pair of shoes.

I needed a pair if white heeled ones for Tokyo anyway ♥

The shoes ♥

Cost me 125 SEK (about 17USD) at Weekday. I love heels and these kind of heels are very comfortable if you are walking a long distance. (10 hours shopping in Tokyo baby) I hope to find many new pair of shoes in Tokyo ♥

Day 3 + 4, London ♥

2010-07-09T18:10:00.001-07:00

So for my 3rd day in London I did not have many gal activities added to my schedule.

As some of you may know I'm a BJD collector so I decided to go to the monthly London BJD meet ♥

With me to London I brought my doll Aubrey, a Migidoll Ryu ♥
So I got up in time, way to early, to get ready and to meet up my friend Hannah at Waterloo station to together walk to the Blue Bar on Level 4 of the Royal Festival Hall.

Hannah. Taken from her personal blog.
She is so cute ♥

When we arrived there was several girls there! They all looked so nice and humble and their dollies cute!

I did not take many pictures from the meet but if you would like to see some please go here and look at a friends photos.

This is my boy:

Aubrey ♥

After the whole meet I got and picked up a weekly Oyster card.
The lady working there got me the card cheaper and I never cared to tell her she did wrong really. 11 GPB for something that normally cost 25 GBP is a deal to me.

Tesco baby!

I got myself over at TESCO to buy some cheap food. Buy two for 2 GBP! MEAL DEAL ♥ also some fruit from Marks ans Spencer.

For my 4th day I met up with Marie again ♥ She was such a doll! It's too bad I don't have any pictures at all of our outfits this day! She had this truly pretty floral dress and killer heals.

We ended up going to Camden and did some shopping and bought cheap Chinese food for lunch.

Camden town

Camden market

They days where warm and very very humid so I always eat like a heavy lunch and a light dinner. Worked for me and for her too luckily!

Cheap Camden market Chinese food! So very good ♥

After a while the heels killed her feet and she took the grand dessision to take of her shoes and walk around in her thighs. How many times have I not done the same? Killer heels are just so pretty!!

We sat down in a park and let her feet breath a little. Poor feet ;;
She found her way home early which I find completely fine! Better to have happy feet!

I been shopping a lot and for those who wonder where the pictures of these things are I will now write: They will come up later. I need to take proper pictures of it all! So please be kind and wait ♥

Day 2, London ♥

2010-07-08T03:02:00.000-07:00

Today I met up with Marie-Claire ♥ and went to UK'S biggest cinema! IMAX and all!
We where going to meet up outside of Burger King at Waterloo station.

Of course I arrived early and had some time to pick up snacks for the movie! I got us two packages with mixed fruit from Marks and Spencer ♥

Fruit ♥

When we got there their system was down so they asked us to just go up and get a seat. We managed to score better seats than those I ordered for us!

Shreeeeeek!

The movie: Shrek forever After was really good ♥ I love the Shrek movies so much. I even manages to cry some *laugh* Just to see Puss in boots as chubby = priceless.

After all of this we decided to head for China town! We took some Puri ♥ (see the entry before this one for pictures!) and later on we headed for Oxford street.

Oxford street was so busy and with all the sales going on and all!
Still my favourit place to be.

We had a small lunch at 'Wasabi' and as the good 'big sister' I am I paid for our light meal. Temaki and Green tea ice cream.

Marie, how cute is she not? ♥

Me! A bit slurry but okay

Temaki! Shrimp and Chicken

Green tea ice cream! My favourite ♥

After the little meal we went to look at some shops and than she went home and I went to meet Ken again (or nancy-boy as a friend nicknamed his looks )

Me in the dressing-room of New look!

Got myself a leopard dress and a ring at New look. I really do like New look.
I wish I had got more than 600 GBP with me...

Anyway! Tomorrow a new update will be made!
Sorry that this one was so late...

Day 1, London ♥

2010-07-06T10:51:00.000-07:00

So I told you all that I would make a big post about my London trip but it will be too big to fit into just one post so I'll post day by day instead or at least some days in one!! ♥

Day 1!

I never really went to sleep the day before so at 3 AM I walked trough the city (no buses) and took the flight bus to Arlanda airport. One hour later and 100 SEK (about 10 USD) less I arrived. I waited there at 4:30 AM until 5:00 AM when I checked in. After that I HAD ICE CREAM

Strawberry sauce with bits of real strawberries in, mini marshmallows and vanilla ice cream.

I arrived and it was really nice. Got myself a subway card and got to my hostel. I stayed in St Pauls. Really nice ♥

Packed my stuff up, got things in order and went away to meet up Ken. We decided earlier over internet that we would meet up ♥ such a gentle guy ♥

Ken ♥

Too bad we did not take any pictures together D: but oh well!
Chai-latte by Picadilly is the best ♥

More tomorrow ♥

A big update will come tomorrow when I got the pictures out of my camera and such ♥

Skype ♥

2010-06-20T17:07:00.000-07:00

Today I finally decided to get a SKYPE ♥
Anyone that feels like adding me on my SKYPE feel free to do so!
Just look for: Emmelie Mattsson / Sweden or my username emmelie.mattsson. (imaginary I know )

I love chatting and use some chat services: MSN and AIM.
Do you use any of these?

Also this been the most relaxing day in a long time. I booked two washing machines for tomorrow so I can get some clothes clean for London, changed my last money into GBP, had dinner with my parents and got the last details done for the trip. Great ♥

Had a lot on my mind recently but it feels like things are finally working out ♥
LONDON SOON ♥

I been thinking about this a lot.
Most gals seems to be into pop. To tell the truth I never been into that.
There is very few occasions when I really like pop or listen to it at all.
I can understand the beat and the lyrics but...it never really got me in it's grip.

Don't take me wrong, I'm open to all kinds of music.
Maybe I find pop one day that I really like ♥

Rock always been my thing and I guess it will continue like that for now ♥
So I'll wrap this entry up with some Japanese 80's madness: Vow wow - Don't leave me now Oh ghod the hair the hair the hair and voice ♥♥♥ (excuse my fangirlism)

Yes! Their vocalist is Japanese and his English is kick-ass! Sadly he quit the band later and became a high school English teacher. I want that guy to be my teacher.

Going to the movies ♥

2010-06-19T06:32:00.001-07:00

I'm going to see a movie with a friend + his brother ♥
I hope that The A-team is a good movie, he picked it.

Been looking for clothes for hours and hours and ends up in shorts and a Star wars T-shirt.
How awesome is not Star wars?

Picture of todays hair:

Fake cornrows, fluffed hair on the side and okay make up.

Seeing that picture it reminds me of that I need to make holes in my ears. I'm so lazy at times.

Hello darlings ♥
Yesterday I revived my tickets to Japan by mail. I always loved the idea of having the real ticket at hand more than just an E-ticket or something. I guess I'm silly but E-tickets makes me nervous.

So yesterday I recived this huge pile of tickets...well not many but the leatter was kinda heavy and yes it got me all excited! The ticket to and from Japan is a present from a friend of mine. Thank you M. Sasaki ♥

Also I had to get myself a new passport. Someone who would love to see my passport photo and my old one? I look better this time at least *laugh* ♥♥♥

Excuse the bad light in my bathroom T__T

Also! A picture of my hair and it's not much but that is all you people get to see of it ♥ I'm told I'm a tease and I guess I am. I'll promise to take more picture of it later. All I can say is that it's shorter and very blond~ !

Hair to be cut

2010-06-14T02:21:00.000-07:00

So for my trip to London I'm going to cut my hair and I'm going for short.
I been thinking about it a lot and I will finally do it.

Sides, if I want long hair there is always extensions, wigs and such.
Cut and bleach, what do you all think? Too risky? Y/N?

Longer post later. Going now!

Shoes ♥

2010-06-12T03:43:00.000-07:00

So some week ago I got myself a new pair of heels ♥
Should not since I need to save up for London/Japan/Singapore but ended up doing it anyway ~

There is something special about red shoes and I felt like I needed a pair myself.
You can never have enough of shoes ♥

Not the best of picture , a bit blurry , but still showing the shoes ♥

Short update for now but longer later, probably ♥
ALSO! For those who want to see pictures of my new BJD I can put up some pictures on Monday ♥ He finally arrived and I got all together. Wigs, shoes, clothes, head onto body and so on ~ ♥♥♥

Hmmm....btw, what places are worth to visit in Tokyo when it comes to gal shopping? I know a few but I love to get tips from others ♥

SORRY ALL T__T♥

2010-06-09T01:19:00.002-07:00

I'm sorry for no reply what so ever. A lot of things been going on.

First of all I MOVED! I moved out of my parents house and I'm finally in an apartment with people I feel good with ♥
Here is some photo. Please excuse the royal mess.
I'm sure I'm going to re-do it soon again *laugh*

The Apartment building ♥

The kitchen
Small but nice

First room
Untidy

Same room
oh yes still so untidy

Room 2 ~
Less untidy

Same room

There! A small tour. You are not allowed into my bathroom or hall yet *laugh* it's not even looking decent right now ♥

SECOND! LONDON,TOKYO AND SINGAPORE!

Yes! As I wrote earlier I am going to London and I still am!
I got my hostels booked and some people to meet most of the time anyway!

I'm looking forward to all this. I'm still a little nervous since I have an E-ticket and not a paper ticket in my hand like for Tokyo and Singapore.

25th June - 3rd July

More details about London in the next post ♥ but now: TOKYO and SINGAPORE!
A friend of mine invited me to come to Tokyo t live with him and he also offered to pay my food, a place to stay and to pay for my flight. So yes of course I am going.

28th July - 18th August

The first week my friend is sadly working but I'm going to 109 for shopping *__*! How exciting is not that? I saved up over 12 000 SEK / 1490 USD. Expect shopping reports!

Of course I'm doing more than shopping! Like going to Sea world, the Ghibli museum and concert(s) ♥ I need to figure out where to shop, where to go and where it's nice to eat (cheap/good food/ etc )

ALSO!

The first weekend of my visit me and my friend are going to Singapore over the weekend. I never been there so it will be much exciting and if not interesting! ♥♥♥

Third and last!

I hope you all are doing well and sorry once again for not writing ;__; ~ ♥

Chocolate and Kinky boots ♥

2010-05-21T14:47:00.000-07:00

Today I went to the gym for the first time in AGES!
I was really surprised that I could run a treadmill for 20 minutes with no stop and work all the machines for 1 hour! I know I don't have the best condition ever but at least I'm not that bad ♥

So I'm finally doing something about this. For the rest of those weeks I live I stopped my fathers fat food terror and will finally eat the food I want (and like ♥) I am so tired of traditional Swedish food that I could kill (almost) Potatoes, sausages, mincemeat and cream in any size and way.

So this is next weeks menu:

♥ Monday: Chicken breast with Quinoa
♥ Tuesday: Potato soup
♥ Wednesday: Mushroom Omelette
♥ Thursday: Chicken Satay with peanut sauce
♥ Friday: Spaghetti with beans and paprika
♥ Saturday: Minestrone soup
♥ Sunday: GI- mincemeat sauce and pasta

This sounds really good to me ♥ I always eat a good breakfast and in between the larger meals I eat something small such as fruit! A banana is awesome after working out ♥

Todays breakfast: Chrisp bread with a little butter on, a glass of orange juice, tea and an apple.

What do you like to eat for breakfast? I think I would love some yoghurt with Mango! I love mango ♥♥♥

Also I love making sweets and bake things so this is my latest project:

♥ Chocolate with pistachio nuts ♥

♥ Time to make: 15 minutes

♥ What you need to make this wonderful thing:

100 grams of dark chocolate
1/4 cup hacked pistachio nuts
1/4 cup hacked almonds
1/4 cup Bran flakes

♥ How to make this:

1. Hack the almonds and pistachio nuts, make sure they are roughly hacked.
Save about 1 tablespoon from each to use as decoration on top of.

2. Melt the chocolate together with the hacked nuts in a water-bath for some minutest in microwave and crush the bran flakes in the end of the process. Pour the melted chocolate on baking paper and sprinkle the nuts and some bran flakes on top. Let it rest like that until its hard!

ENJOY!

Kinky boots

Another one of those wonderful movies I love. This one is Brittish and most wonderful!

Some short facts:
From: 2005
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, drama, music.
My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

About:
Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price & Sons Shoes is failing.

While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear.

Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiancée who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

My opinion: Once again a movie about being different, being someone who society find different. It's a cheeky but fun movie with it's own message. Fight for what you believe in, different or not. The movie is over all cute and I don't think there is part that falls flat really. The opening scene with the little boy dancing in red stilettos are so cute and so are what is following even if some parts of it really is killing me on the inside. Stop hiding, be brave. Believe in who you are and what you do.

Yes I would say it's one of those movies that makes you feel really good or at least happy after watching it.

If you love drama, humour, glitter and glamour. Than this is the movie for you! It sure is a movie for me ♥

Take care all of you ♥♥♥

So much to do

2010-05-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not giving some long update or much of pictures.
I had done so many things it's insane. I'm planing for my London trip♥ already and it's a lot to do (believe it or not) on top of this packing for when I'm moving out (6th June!!)

So today I did:

♥ Packing
♥ Making a card to my penpal Anna
♥ Planing for London
♥ Eating food
♥ Buying books

Packing

As some of you know I'm moving out of my parents place at the 6th June (The Swedish national day!) to an apartment. This of course means: OH GHOD PACKING.

My room is a total mess, so bad that I will not show you it. I promise to show once things are packed. Hope you all don't mind! I really did not know that I had so much stuff to tell the truth.

I bought black plastic bags today to throw away stuff in. Oh ho. There is also things in my room that I will give away, so a give away laters!

Making a card to my penpal

ANNA IF YOU READ THIS, WELL YOUR LOSS!

There, just had to have is said. But yes. I spent some time making a card to her from a magazine, glitter, glue and wallpaper. Want to see? Here is the result of my time♥ Click to see larger!:

Front
Sorry for the bad pics. I need a better camera.
Look at the butterflies and clocks ♥

Back♥
Can you see the little butterfly?

Inside!
This is where my letter is going to be ♥

What do you all think? I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture but the wallpaper it's in gold! It's very nice to touch too! A nice structure under your fingertips so to say!

Also, the white board by the back of the card has glitter that looks like glittery frosting ♥ I'm very proud and satisfied!

Planing for London

Me and my friend been planing some over AIM how and where to go. We are going to the London ZOO!! I love to go to the Zoo!! I can't describe the bubbly feeling inside of me when it comes to Zoo's and aquariums. Ain't animals so beautiful? ♥♥♥

We are going to spend some nice time there, going to do tourist stuff!
Also I'm going to use a non-digital camera at some things but these photos are going in a scrapbook♥ But there be photos of course in the blog! I still have my own (bad) mobile camera. I hope you all are looking forward to my London report!

But oh! I'm going to roam the Oxford street and Camden alone. I hope that be fun!
Anywhere you think I should go? Gal related or not!♥

Eating food

Don't we all do this every day? Anyway todays food was Sushi♥
Well Carlifona rolls to be exact! My favourite one♥
What are you favourite?

Me and my friend had dinner♥

Also for Lunch I had a grilled Sponge Bob!

Oh I love food♥ Perhaps a little too much (if that is possible!)

Buying books

A friend wrote to me on MSN and asked if I wanted books. Of course I want books, who can say no to that? So I got two gift codes to enter so I could get two free books!

Not the biggest selection of books but I ended up picking the same book twice. One for me and one for my mother. The book is about GI food. I never been a fan of diets to tell the truth and I want to stay healthy♥ and well the positive side effect on GI is that I will stay healthy and even lose weight.

Anyone tried the GI method before? Did it work out well for you?
GI + working out. Sounds real good to me♥

Please take care

Hiya! Today been such a long day. First I spent my day studying, packing since I'm moving out but also spent time with my mother and my parents dog. Their dog is such a sweety ♥

My parents dog 'Chippen' is so cute

Right! So on my way home from spending some time studying I walked into this:
ONE MINUTE DISCO!!!

Wait..what? I could hear loud music and see a lot of teenagers stand next to this black barn-like looking tent. Of course I got curious and walked in.

Inside it stood two persons, giving out free energy drinks! Just what I needed. Inside there also where dark, a discoball shimmering and turning and of course the blasting music.

The one minute disco tent

The free drink! No I did not get paid to write this.

With my free (large!) energy drink with tropical juice flavour I walked off. Awesome.
Sometimes these showcase things are great♥

Trouble in paradise

2010-05-17T10:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I walked for 20 minutes to get Ben & Jerry's ice cream! I been wanting it for the whole weekend but never had the chance to get it. So when I finally got there they had raised the prize (!) on the ice cream and enough so I would not afford it.

It's not the end of the world but it truly pissed me off. BUT! Today I got the much wanted ice cream! It's called Fish food. Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream with fudge sauce, marshmallows and chocolate bits ♥ That is true ice cream love~ ♥ ♥

The ice cream was really tasty! It really tasted chocolate to me and the bits of darkish chocolate made a good compliment ♥ The little sauce and marshmallows just adds to it all. I really recommend this ice cream~!

Also! Today is my grandmother birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDY GRANDMOTHER ♥
I just came home from her place and we had some cake, coffee and a talk. Just perfect ♥

Onto the sad news. I'm not sure if you all know who Ronnie James Dio is but he been my idol for years. He recently passed away and it made me really sad when I got to know yesterday. Rest in peace Ronnie James Dio ♥♥♥ You are in my heart and many others too. This year truly been a shit year when it comes to famous people who have died. Urgh.

And yes! Nana asked in my shoutbox if I like BJD dolls. Yes I do! I own 5 of them and if anyone wants I can write a little more and show pictures later~ !

I hope you all had a great Sunday and Monday! At least I had ♥
Take care

2010-05-15T04:40:00.000-07:00

Its a new day today and the clock is telling me it's 13:40 (1:40pm)!
Last night got a little late but I can't help watching movies for a little too late ♥

What are your favourite movie?
One of mine are 200 Pounds beauty (미녀는 괴로워)

Some short facts:
From: 2006
Language: Korean (there is English subtitles to find)
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama.
My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

About:
Ha-na is the famous Korean pop singer. She suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery.

My opinion: At first I tought that this movie could be a little touchy to talk about since it's very shallow at times and speak of what the public most of the time consider being right or wrong (fat/slim, beautiful/ugly) but I belive it bring up very important message. This movie talks about themes such as the superficial view of the world, how beauty becomes an obsession, how the most beautiful heart can hide inside a bigger girl, how people will give everything to a girl with beautiful face.

I believe that inner beauty is truly important and more important than the shallow one that we see of the most. Don't take me wrong, I love to watch beautiful pictures of gals in their curly hair, long beautiful nails but it's also important to not forget that there is a heart too ♥

This movie, about Kang Ha-na, the big girl, her heart, her dreams of that Sang-jun will look at her, love her , is really loving, cute, teary and wonderful. This movie made me laugh so much, made me cry even and reminded me of how cruel and shallow the world can be but also how empty some people are.

I truly recommend this movie!!
To tell the truch I'm more of a Scary movie kind of girl ^_^;; ♥

OKAY! I'm off to eat some food ♥
(I need a better camera than my phone T__T)

Curls ♥

2010-05-14T15:34:00.000-07:00

Today I curled my best friend Daniellas hair! She is this awesome 80's rocker chick (Who I believe will look awesome gal styled!) Anyway! She is not too good with hair so she asked me to help her. I gave her some eyelashes, did our best with her make-up and curled hair hair.

Ain't she pretty?? I told her she will look so good in curls and she really does ♥ Now she is sitting here and sipping tea, it's 00:42 in the morning and looking most happy ~ !!

Also! and extra picture of my nails! Not the best picture but I think the nails look cute! Simple and just perfect for more or less any occasion!

I can sleep in late so I will stay up longer ♥♥♥

It's a bit too white for my taste but very girly and cute ♥
Hopefully I can make something else later that looks even better~!!

Soon my best friend Daniella is coming over and we will make some food!

Fat in Japan

2010-05-14T03:33:00.000-07:00

Fat in Japan

Good morning! It's 12:33 here and yes that means soon late lunch for me! I have no idea what to make but we will see what the fridge might bring!

Also, when I went trough some blogs this morning (5 minutes ago or so) I took notice of an entry of a girl that said that she had lost all her confidence in herself since someone called her fat in Japan. It's sad but the truth is that it's socially acceptable in Japan to call anyone fat. Not too good for the self-confidence there ey?

Let me explain closer! It's like when most of us western go: Hey how have you been? Long time no see! Okay not really but if you than instead said: Hi! Long time no see! Heya I did not recognizance you there since you grown so fat! <--- that is totally okay.

Sounds crazy I know but if some had a chance to call me an EU size 38 fat they would.

I have no idea why it's accepted to call anyone fat there when most people in Japan act so nice and polite most of the time. (When most think of Japan they think of bowing, being polite, so on, yes?)

Here if someone said that to my face I would laugh and I know quite a bit of people who will punch you in the face. Girls, if someone call you fat in Japan, don't let it effect you. You are NOT fat.

It's enough as it is with today's model ideal. Sides, what is so beautiful with looking like a skeleton? Where in the world is that attractive? No I am not saying this since I'm a girl with curves.

Don't think fat, don't think thin: Think beautiful. What is beautiful for you? Where do you want to be?

Okay, I'm going to go and eat a muffin now and watch some TV (Ohh TOP CHEF is on)♥

New blog ♥

2010-05-13T16:08:00.001-07:00

New blog ♥

Do finally I decided to get a blog, well ONE BLOG and not 1000 of them. I think it's a wise decision of mine. When I start a blog I always have this vision of that THIS BLOG is going to be the best one/the nicest one and so on. Of course things never turn out as I want them to be so this time it will.

I will use all my might to make it happen ♥ ♥♥
