New Year treat

Haven't recorded a video more than 3 months now. Thought you needed some New year's treat ;) So here's my cover of Demi Lovato's "Catch Me".

Two Thousand and Nine

Hey,
31st December is a time for all bloggers to write their last blogentry of the year and summerize all the wicked things that have happened, but lucky for you I'm such a lousy blogger so I won't. XD

What I wanna say is, 2009 has been the year I've grown the most. I guess a lot of it comes from moving and studying in London. It's kinda weird still though, telling people or saying I study and live in London. It sounds like such a dream, a dream I've wanted basically in all my life. And now I'm doing it, kinda mad. But things haven't been all nice and easy, no it hasn't been at all of what I've expected and it has thrown me out of the boat a little. So I just have to perk up and deal with it and make the most of it. It's tough, since I'm starting to doubt my education and all. But comeing home have helped me gain more perspective though, I think I can see things more clearly from a distance.

I think I'm slowly growing up and start to understand its meaning. And I've changed drastically, at least mentally. I see the world through a whole new angle and I think in a different way. It feel like I'm in some transition, being an adult and a child. It' scary, but weirdly enough also exciting.

Happy New year folks! It's a new year, new decade, new beginning. Cheers!




Songs of my 2009
10. Good Girls Gone Bad-Cobra Starship (This was nomnated as best pop video at the VMA's if I remember it right. Really like the song, but it could do wihtout Leighton Meester though XD)
9. Bom Bom Pow-Black Eye Peas (I'm glad they came back and did the E.N.D. I've actually liked their music since the beginning, they're cool. It was either this or I Gotta Feeling, but I like this song much more)
8. Mama Do-Pixie Lott (call me Britishfied but this girl is really good. Really catchy song)
7. You Belong With Me-Taylor Swift (It all went downhill from the whole Kanye thing, she's still a silly pathetic girl, but a silly pathetic girl who makes some really good songs XD)
6- Supermassive Blackhole-Muse (I know this song is not from this year, but def. a big part of my musical 2009. Superaddicted to this song during whole October and November)
5. Who I Am-Nick Jonas and The Administration (I didn't like the song at all first time listening to it, thought it was too dull and there's not really a hook. But after listening to it a couple fo times, I came to really like it. Looking forward to hear the rest of the album)4. Paranoid-Jonas Brothers (Their first single off Lines,Vines and Trying times, new sound, new looks, awesome video. But as I've said before, not really really like the song but aweswome singing it loud)
3. Ignorance-Paramore (This is a really really good song. I didn't get Paramore before and I didn't (wanted to though) liked their songs, but when I first saw the video on MTV I was hooked. Everytime I hear I just wanna jump around and headbang sooo bad XD)2. Send It On-Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus (I remember I listened to this song on repeat like for a week when it first came out. And I still cry watching the music video, I honestly do. It's a strong and beautiful song about a good cause. Love it)
1. Fly With Me-Jonas Brothers (I literally cried the first time I heard the whole song (which was a amateur recorded clip from the end credtits to Night at the museum 2. This song is jsut so damn beautiful, with Nick, the piano and everything. I still listen to it like it was the first time, the brilliantness hasn't changed a bit)

I can almost see it..

Hey,

I don't wanna think of anything that has to do with school, coursework, London or anything. I just wanna be..now. But I know I eventually have to and if I postpone it, I will regret it. So I just have to make most of the time I have now before I have to battle my assignments and those kind of crap. XD

Today I went out in town with my friend for the first time since I came home. I've missed Malmö so bad. The sales are not so bad either, found a beanie and a jumper. :) I'm going out again tomorrow to meet another friend, I just miss everybody. I'm afraid I won't have time meeting everyone! :( I WANNA MEET YOU! (Uncle Sam pointing at you) XD

Otherwise I've been chillin' at home and I love it! I've just learnt a new song on the guitar and later I think I'm gonna play Sims. :P Ciao!

This is the kind of crappy pictures you get from a digital camera XD

Verry Merry Christmas

Heey,
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have had an awesome day yesterday. :D

This year, I didn't look forward to christmas as I have done in the past 18 years, well of course it would be nice to celebrate christmas but I wasn't really longing for the christmas day. I guess I'm just happy to be home I don't really care if it was christmas or not. XD You don't really appreciate things until you don't have it, right? ;) I've learnt and changed enormously during these 3 months. I practically feel like a new person.

Anyway about my christmas celebration, it wasn't much out of the ordinary except perhaps the many and expensive gifts I got this year. XD

I woke up wround 10 and as tradition me and my sis and bro gets to open a present in the morning and to my surprise I opened a brand new iPod. AN iPOD!!! I've wanted a new iPod for a long time but I don't really need it since my old one still works fine.

Do you see the difference? XD

It's so nice; orange, 8GB, video camera and all. It's almost too much. :P After breakfast I helped mum with the dinner preparations, which is always loads of work. How does she pull everything off? XD We even baked lussebullar and cinnamonbuns! Drawing nearer to 3 o'clock we got dressed and set the table and so on. Around 3 we watched Kalle Anka on TV and started to eat. (was it just me or was it supposed to be Toy Story 3?).

After dinner it was opening of the rest of the presents. I got a clock radio (for London yyeeaay! XD), the Classical tribute to the Jonas Brothers CD (listening to it right now, it's awesome), a beautiful necklace, the teen vogue handbook (loooooooooooooooooove). And for the last present I got a freakin' D-SLR camera, an Olympus E-420. I actually didn't think I would get one since I clearly told my dad not to buy me one, at least not yet because they're so expensive, but apparently he didn't listen. XD I'm so glad I have it now anyway I love taking pictures with it, it's amazing really. :)

I'm not wanting anything for my birthday! XD Gee, I got so much stuff now. All in all it was a very (very!) expensive christmas I would say, my brother got an xbox 360 and my sister a laptop.

Then at the evening we watched a couple fo movies, first Eagle Eye on canal plus. It was kinda alright, not the best but alright. Then I started to watch Journey to the centre of the earth, but had to stop after like 30 minutes of watching it because it was just crap. XD Then at midnight we decided to watch The Proposal, which we got as a present. Haaah, that movie just cracks me up. X'D

Finishing with some pictures, all taken with my new camera :D

Baby, I'm HOME!!

Heya,

I'M HOOOMMMEEE! :) Gaaahh, I can't possibly explain this awesome feeling of just being home. I love it.

It's absolutely wonderful just to be able to like watch TV, play Wii, play my fender guitar, eat my dad´s cooking, opening the fridge to find it's stacked, watching videos on youtube. Yeah the list goes on forever. I've missed everything so much.

But not everything has been good and easy, not on friday at least.

What am I doing at Copenhagen airport ten to 2 in the morning?

The trip to Heathrow and everything went pretty smoothly and I was out in good time and everything. Then my dad called when I was in the middle fo the insane line to the self check-in machines for SAS, my flight was delayed until 22.00 (supposed to depart 20.25). Great! SO now I had like 3 hours to wander round on terminal 3. After like 25 minutes I've seen it all. XD

Anyway I got on the plane and it took them around 45 minutes to take off, so we were even more delayed. The flight steward said it was because of Obama's departure from the Copenhagen and the weather (it was snowing).

I landed in Copenhagen a bit after 1 (Swedish time) and thought the worst was over, but oh I was wrong. I grabbed my luggage and was out in the terminal at 1.40 maybe. The train to Sweden was coming 2.16, so I had to waaaiittt (hence the picture). I go down to platform like 5 minutes before the arrival, almost freeze to death waiting for 10 minutes. Then the board showed that the train was delayed 39 freakin' minutes. Gooooooooosh, so we all went up again. Yeah by this time we were like 60 people waiting for the goddamn train. Waited another 35 minutes and after a while in death cold at the platform, the board showed 42 minutes delay.

At that time I actually doubted it would come at all and I had to like sleep in the terminal for tomorrow's train or seomthing, horrible. But then at last just before the scheduled other train was to come (3.16), the train came, packed. But luckily I just managed to squeeze in, some actually couldn't get in. Then finally I arrived in Malmö Svågertorp (where my dad, sis and bro had been waiting for over an hour). And I was fianlly home a bit before 4 in the morning.

So yesterday I just chilled at home and I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm learning White Horse by Taylor Swift on the guitar (don't ask) and singing to JB songs on Sing It pop hits is just plain awesome. We also saw Valkurie (spelling?) and dressed teh Christmas tree.

It's really just 4 more days?! CRAZY!

Malmö, finally!

Zzuuppp!
I'm going home tomorroooooww! :) It feels like I've waited for that day for ages now. XD It's gonna be so nice being back home. To my family, my friends, my guitar, my bed, the TV, the Wii, Swedish food, Swedish people.....just everything really. I miss it horrendously!

My flight goes 20.30 from Heathrow and I'll land in Copenhagen around 23.20! And soon after that, I'll breath awesome Swedish air. Don't think I've ever been this excited to go home, hahha. I wanna meet everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY again. Call me or I'll call you, for sure! ;)

So bye for now Londonland. Will I miss something? Yeah, cheap cinemas and HMV (and seeing Jesse McCartney on thursdays, amen!)

Here's an beautiful song I recently rediscovered, Sea Of Love by Cat Power.

Mo-monday night

Hey,

Just a super short and random post to say: I'M COMING HOME SOON! XD Yeah, there are not many days left until I'll go back to Sweden. 4 days to be exact, can't wait! :)

Oh and btw, I also got back my first graded coursework ever in University. It was a 500 word article for Journalistic Practices. I got a C, on the verge of B actually. I got really good feeback and I'm glad actually. I passed and that's all that matters. :)

The random part; picture taken when me and cousin were grocery shopping. Guess which basket is mine and which is my cousin's. XD

Me and Me and Orson Welles

Went for the first time in my life alone to the cinema today. Well, you just have to sometime I guess. It was nto as bad as I thought, although the only ones in the cinema with me were 3 older men (also lone goers :P). Like awweesome. They never made a sound either, kinda creepy. XD I was the one laughing and and making all the noise. XD I could probably drag someone with me though, but since I insisted on watching the movie on a weekday before 5 o'clock since it's much cheaper (I paid £5.60), no one was actually able to go. :P

So, I saw Me and Orson Welles. I didn't know too much about the movie before I decided to watch it. Zac was gonna be in it.....Claire Danes....1930's..something something..theare play then that's it. XD

Me and Orson Welles is just one of those heavier-no actual action-life insight-kinda movie :P. The movie is quite poetic and you're supposed to be leaving the cinema with a insight of life, you know. It tells the story of a easy-going 17 year old boy (Efron) who quite randomly ends up as a part of the production of Shakepeare's Julius Caesar with the man himself, Orson Welles. It's a coming-of-age story really, with him learning about life and love (and theatres and assholes XD).

Although it's not really my kind of movie I was actually entertained during the whole movie (duh, 114 minutes with eyecandy Zac XD). I do think it's a good movie, a bit dull, but good. But then again I'm a sucker for everything 1930's......and Zac Efron btw :P. It's nice though seeing him stretch out from the stereotype roles he'd done and evolve, because he can and he does it brilliantly.

Older Efron fans, I recommend. :)

Alien Invasion

To me this picture looks utterly photoshopped, it doesn't? XD

Have you been following the news?! Following the trending topics on twitter? (It's actually a really good way of keeping up with the big news) Well I sort to have to if I don't wanna get beheaded on my journalism class. XD

So today in a small town in northern Norway, citizens are suddenly struck by this mysterious light on the sky. The light forms a exapanding spiral and then disappears leaving a black spot in the skies.

There are a lot of experts argues it's a failure of rocket launching and likewise. Whatever it is I just happen to lost this story. XD I'm secretly hoping it's not a rocket or whatever it is, it would be so insane. XD When I first saw it on twitter I was like what? Then I saw the pictures and just thought it was some crappy hoax but then I saw a video of it and I was freaking out.

Why don't you see for yourself?

My Wish-List

So I promised people I'd post my xmas wish list on my blog as I usually do. I just haven't really got time to think about what i want really...:P But here's something on top of my head anyway:

-A D-SLR camera (systemkamera)
-The Teen Vogue Handbook: an insider's guide to careers in fashion, the book
-Diane Birch's album: Bible Belt
-Demi Lovato's album: Here We Go Again
-Finding Neverland, the DVD
-Gift cards for clothes stores
-Subscription to a fashion magazine
-A wrist watch
-Any fashion related books

But basically this xmas I just wanna be home and dwell in the awesomeness of Sweden (XD) And just see everyone again. You could get me a pinecone for all I care, just as long I'll see you. :) Really, honestly.

In your eyes..

..... I would like to stay

Snap out of it!

Heya,

SO we are asked to write a review as our next assignment in Journalistic Practices class. The first thing that crossed my mind was the new season of Heroes. But then I started to think of how difficult it would be and how I wouldn't be able to write a good piece. Because I don't know how to use this smart language everyone else (apparently) are genious in and that I would be too difficult to review a TV series without spoiling and so another negative thought appeared after antoher.

And just as I started to write this (blog entry) I realized I dwell in self-pity too much. I always linger on all of these negative factors and make myself believe I'm not good enough, which in the end makes my writing process just a hundred times more difficult. Urgh what an ass I've been.

I mean if I didn't attend this class I would happily be reviewing the new season of Heroes. What is wrong with me really? Gosh I have to stop it.

ANYWAY, this was not the point I had in mind to make with this blogentry. I was originally planning on clearing up the confusion on the seasons of Heroes (well I've been confused anyway). Because Heroes both have seasons and volumes.

The fact is that, the first season consists of Volume 1 "Genesis", which has 23 episodes.
Volume 2 "Generations" make up season 2, and it had only 11 episodes (because of the writers strike, d'you remember?). So season 3 (!) consists of Volume 3 "Villians" and Volume 4 "Fugitives", with a total 25 episodes. And now the most recent season, season 4, is showing Volume 5 "Redemption" with currently 12 episodes.

All clear now? Well it is for me anyway. XD Gonna go watch a movie now, ciao!

Christmasy times

To balance out that I don't have any Lussebullar or Pepperkakor (gingerbread) I just have to settle with some awesome Christmas songs. Lemme share some :)


Joy To The World (a christmas prayer)- Nicholas Jonas
A favourite of course. :)


All I Want For Christmas-Olivia Olson
This girl is amazing and she's 17! Got goosebumps the first time I heard this song.


Wonderful Christmas time-Demi Lovato
What is christmas without this song? Demi is brilliant. :D

You should also check out: Bing Crosby-White Christmas, Let It Snow-Dean Martin and Joyful Kings-Jonas Brothers (OF COURSE!)

Merry Early Christmas! :)

Because I'm such a lousy blogger

I'm gonna let the pictures speak for themselves XD

Going to Oxford street for some X-mas shopping tomorrow. Need sleep, ciao! :)

I MADE IT!

I did it. I DID IT!

There were times when I actually thought it was impossible for me to finish all of my assignments in time. I went completely loco the last couple of days, so stressed out. I've been studying non-stop for a month, it has been the most stressful and demanding month in my life. I even got stress rashes for the first time, yuk! XD

After I submitted my last assignments (4 hours before deadline) there was no discribing how relieved I was. Although the semester isn't over yet and I still have minor projects and homework, that is nothing compared to the month I just had. It was Hell, if I may say so. But anyway something good I got out of it was a lesson well learned. Planning is everything. Slacking is suicide. XD

Anyway I'm so glad it's over and I know now how to handle upcoming assignments better. What is in my near future right now is RELAX (including a lot of guitar playing), Christmas shopping and eventually going home! :)

M.E.N part 2

We The Kings-Secret Valentine, I've known this band for quite a while, knowing they're good but I just didn't bother check up onthem. But now I did and this song is awesome. :)

Demi Lovato-Remember December, the video is kinda awkward, but the song is really growing on me. I love the intro.

Colplay-Lost!, old song I just pulled out again. Old but good. :)

I've gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night

I made it. I made it all to Wembley and back, still in one piece.

I actually started to write this yesterday night when I came home after the concert but I was too tired and exhausted I couldn't finish it. So here goes a second try.

I ended school 15 minutes early and I literly ran back to my place, with excitement as fuel of course XD, made some sandwiches and were off. I took the tube around 15.40 and surprisingly enough everything went well no delays, no suspension, no nothing. So I arrived at Wembley park approx. 16.05. Didn't know where to go really, but luckily there some signs or I could just follow the girls with Camp Rock purses. That's when it hit for the first time that I would be watching the concert ALONE. Alone. People must have thought I was crazy, like weird crazy. XD


I got there, everything went smoothly. The ticketlady looked at my bookingnumber and gave me the ticket. Didn't need to show my bank card (which is a different one from the one I bought the ticket with, since it was stolen), didn't need to see any ID (I even bought my passport with me).

I let out a big sigh and now it as just to wait. I just randomly started to talk with two girls, who turned out to be really nice. But as they didn't have seats near me or even floor seats we had to split up after a while. When I got in line for my door (south west) there were basically only 14 and 10 year olds in the queue. All I heard them talking about was blablalbla Twilight blalbal new Moon blalblalab Taylor Lautner blalbla OMG. Yeah I basically felt like I was from Mars, totally alienated. XD What I also found out was the weird range of people who was going to see the show, from 6 year olds (not kidding) to 60 year olds (again, not kidding). There were all these people like grandmas, fathers, brothers, I was like wait are we waiting for Disney on Ice or something?!XD

Anyway after I've freezed myself half to death it was finally time to get in. Wembley arena is HUGE compared to Annexet and KB hallen. And when I first saw the legendary round stage I basically couldn't breath. It was so beautiful! :') And lucky for me I had gotten a seat on Ryan and Garbo's side of the stage, like YYEEEESSS! XD


The opening act was rubbish just as everyone had said, Girls can't catch, try girls can't sing. XD Then it felt like a 1000 years break before JB came on. They played some good songs on the speakers though, like I've Got You-McFly and I Want You Back-Jackson 5. Unlucky for me, not being super mobbed enough sitting alone, the girls who sat next to me were just pure antisocial. Well, as weird as I must have seemed, it was kinda understandable. XD When Bounce came on the speakers, we went crazy. It was awesome screaming out the lyrics and dancing on the seat at the time. Awesome I tell you. Then it all continued on....

I only have crappy photos since I (originally) was on row 17 and the videos are crap as well, but I'm gonna try find at least some decent one and upload.

This was the setlist:
Paranoid
Thats Just The Way We Roll
Poison Ivy
Hold On
Play My Music; Joe forgot the lyrics to the second verse
Fly with Me; Joe dedicated to all of the girls and if he could he would date every single one of us. Then suggested we couldall go on group date to that square (leicester square) and get Hägen Daz (spelling?) ice-cream
Black Keys / ALBL; I cried during Nick's speech, before A Little Bit Longer
Much Better
Year 3000
I gotta feelin’ / Tonight; this must must the most awesome ever. I Gotta Feelin-Black eyed peas fused to Tonight. Genious!
I gotta find you; Joe brought up a 5 year old girl on stage to sing with him
Turn Right; almost cried
WYLMITE ; they had the music video on screen, cried again
Sweet Caroline
Still in love with you
Video Girl; went crazy. Nick playing the drums
BB Good
World War III
Lovebug
SOS
Burnin’ Up; Big Rob coming on rapping. Freakin' awesome

J to the B to the tomorrow

Feels like there's this whole world I'm missing out of by not wiritng in my blog or check up blogs. It's crazy, but not as crazy STRESSED out I'm at the moment. Crazy. Insane. Mad. LOCO!

Anyway just have 3 words for you: JONAS BROTHERS TOMORROW.

Adios.

Music Exploration Night

Hey hoo,
Waitng for the new Heroes episode to upload, fyi. XD

So the past few days I've been exploring some new music, which turned out to be really awesome. Hear for yourself. :)


Paramore "Ignorance"
First time I heard/saw it was on MTV like 2000 years ago, but it's so good. Makes me wanna dance for some odd reason.


Forever The Sickest Kids "Whoa Oh"
Don't like the version with Selena Gomez though. Haha XD


Muse "Supermassive Black Hole"
I know, I KNOW.... This song I actually heard 2000 years ago, no but 4 years ago, someone sent it to me. I rediscovered it however of reasons I don't want to share... But really I die for the intro, the rest is....so so. XD

Hi, you've reached Tiffany

I'm very busy at the momemt. Please leave a message after the bip. Biiiiiip.

Yes I really am. But I thought it wouldn't be fair for you guys not to write anything. The week so far has been crazy, so much studying, staying at school 4 hours after class and so on. But I'm getting the hang of it now...I think.

So what have happened since? Yeah I still feel so guilty that I didn't posted a Happy Brithday entry to Kevin yesterday, I really was god damn busy. XD But here it goes Happy belated Birthday KJ 2! Gosh I remember like it was jsut yesterday when I wished him a happy 21st birthday from Edinburgh. (Aawww, guys! I think of Edinburgh everytime I go to Sainsbury's, which makes me miss you guys!!)

If you followed my twitter last night (and why wouldn't you? What else could you possibly have done?! XD) you could see I was watching the EMA's. Still mad that Uk is really fussy about their MTV over here, can't watch anything, blaaah! Fortunately I got tipped off a canadian website and I could somewhow watch it. It hacked a lot (like I couldn't catch that when Kevin said something wrong prestening the MJ tribute, argh!). HOWEVER, Jonas Brothers didn't win the Best Group award (surprise,surprise), although I voted so much that I got exceeded my amount of voted TWICE. Tokio Hotel won, which I basically knew from the beginning, I mean it was a given. Tokio Hotel-Berlin-Germany-Tokio Hotel?! XD It would be really awkward if Jonas Brothers won though, the german audience would've boo-ed them. XD Anyway it was really nice seeing them, Joe with his awesome new hair and all.

It was also the bon fire/guy fawkes day yesterday, and people are firing fireworks every other seconds now (still!), guess they do it for the whole week or something. I was planning to go see some of the official firework shows this weekend, but yeah..I don't have time. Gosh I couldn't even go to the Oxford x-mas lightning on tuesday either!!

Suddenly there's so much to tell you guys, like my epiphany and the very interesting thing we discussed in our journalism calss the other day. But that will have to wait, because I have to tell you this: I've got a guitar! Yes I HAVE! L O V E playing, absolutely adore it.

Martin Smith, steel stringed.

I'm Ba-ack!

I can feel it, in my toes and fingers. Jonas monster in me coming back!

Guys, 17 days are not that many. Wembley Arena, 20th Novemver, 19.30. Watch out. As always I can't let myself get all my hopes up, but I can feel it's closer now. Definitely. Btw if you possibly could have missed Joe's haircut a week ago, go look it up! It's absolutely jaw dro-o-o-o-o-oping. XD

So, Tuesday night what am I doing? XD As I've realized I have waaaay too much work to get started on I don't really have time for anything else. I know I waited too long before starting the projects, I have a lot of excuses but why even bother. XD But I feel very motivated though, now that I have gotten a grasp of what I'm supposed to do, it doesn't really matter that I have a lot of work just as long I know what to do. (Oh jolly,positive am I?!)

Maybe I'm more positive because the weeks are drawing nearer the 20th November and 18th December, or that I just keep reminding myself why I'm doing this, why I'm here. That motivates me. Or that I had this epiphany of what I really wanna do in life...or maybe it's jsut one of those things. XD

Rock Paper Scissors

Zup guys,
Another week is coming to its end. My 6th week here. Yup 6 weeks really.

This week has been really overwhelming, with our courseworks (assessments) coming up, it makes me super stressed out. It's not that I'm stressed out becuase it's a lot of work, but I just don't know how to strucutre/present it all, where I find information and some of the assessments I just don't really get at all. S T R E S S!

So I don't really afford sitting here bloging (and believe me it makes me stressed) but I am. After my cousin left on Tuesday I got had this really, really bad case of home sickness, that combined with feeling hopeless in school made me cry, and cry and cry. I hate it. I always do this, I always put so much pressure on myself and when I don't have everything under control I lose it.

On the up side of the week I've come far on my socializing. :D I've been seeing and studying with this girl from my Fashion Industry class (she's really normal I promise XD). I can be really relaxed around her and we can talk, it's nice. :D Then my flatmate asked me (today) to join her for dinner today,then antoher flatmate joined. So the 3 of us went, it was really nice. I had korean food for the first time. (Spiiiiccyyy)

Although I hugely miss everything and everyone in Sweden, I'm not miserable in London. :) I'm coming home soon.

Pictures from today:


1) My future home, Notting Hill XD
2) Korean restaurant at Tottenham Court Road

I'm really in London

1) The Sherlock Holmes museum. One of the coolest things ever. The staff wears these victorian dresses feels like you've stepped into the 1800s. (Now Kajsa's gonna correct me of all the historical wrongs in that sentence XD)

2) Agatha Christie books in comics. Ok these are also one fo the coolest things ever. really want one.

3) Harrods, harrods, harrods. Need I say more?

4) H&M at Oxford circus. I really missed Sweden being there.

5) Headless man in Covent garden.

Absence no more

Hi there,
I haven't blogged in more than a weeks time and that's not really OK. No it's not. It's mostly because my cousin has been here but then I've also so been too depressed to write. (I ALWAYS tweet though, so keep checking that :)

Soo my cousin arrived on friday evening and the very moment I saw her I just felt things were so much better. I've been alone for too long, I thought.
We had a blast, mostly shopping and watching movies. It was just really nice to have someone there to do things with you and to talk to you. It has been a long time.

On Saturday we first did Oxford Street (a lot of walking), my cousin went crazy at Primark XD, then we went ate at China town and finished the day with watching Up in 3D at Trocadero. Up is really good, one of those smart cartoon movie that suits 7 year olds as 40 year olds. So I strongly recommend! :)

On Sunday we did more shopping now in Covent Garden (probably the most cozy place in London) and then at Harrods. I've actually never been to Harrods, I mean what am I suppossed to do there? I can't afford anything. XD But we went there like as an experience, it was really cool actually, all these designer clothes and the archtiecture. The place is HUGE however and even if we strolled around for an hour I think it was only a very very small part of Harrods that we did see. Going back soon? XD Then we went to Leicester square originally to eat dinner at China town but then we got an urge for pommes frites so we ate at Burge King instead. At the same evening they were holding a movie premiere at Vue (leicester square), we later found out it was for Eva Green's new movie Cracks. And I actually saw her through the window in Burger King.

The next day would be her last whole day and I had school, which was really blaaah. Didn't do well in class that day. XD We then went down to Angel and saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasuss (hate writing it everytime) at Vue. The movie was very peculiar. It was Heath Ledger's last movie and he passed away right in the middle of shooting so they decided to cut and change the whole storyline to fit and keep heath in it. I must say i think the original story must have been better, the one in the movie now is confusing and doesn't really have a red thread. but however I thought it was wonderfully weird and watch-worthy.

I'm really bummed out that I didn't brought my digital camera with during these days, blaah so here you have some mobile pictures.

First pic. dinner at China town, second pic. is from Covent Garden.

I wish I could..

....watch a never-ending movie in the cinemas.

Get your flying carpet now!

Zup,
Just wanted to write some before I go to bed. I've been studying most of the day today, I want to get things over with so that I don't have to do any homework when my cousin comes on friday. :) I'm basically done with this week's homework, but I got this article I have to write 'til next monday. So I have to write that too. "Localizing the postal strike", so we have to like get quotes from neighbours and postmen. I even jumped at one of them postmen today, but he was all like no I don't have time. I have to get to work immediately since they're going on strike on thursday and friday. I only have tomorrow and wednesday to get quotes. No pressure at all....

I think things are getting better in school. It's the 3rd week now and I start to get to know people. I've started to see this difference between my classmates and....classmates. The ones in my journalism classes tries to out-smart each other while the ones in my fashion industry tries to out-dress each other. XD I just can't really be myself around those out-dressers, feels like they're so "superior" and I'm just a joke. Maybe it's just all in my head but...I don't know. I guess there's a lot of getting used to. XD

Otherwise I'm just really glad my cousin is coming and I'll get some company. :) I've planned some crazy shopping and cinema. Looking forward to it! :D

Anitque market in Angel.

Let me see that body bounce

I basically woke up, had breakfast. Checked my Twitter and BOUNCE! what have the JoBros posted? This is possibly the most epic thing since......(Alice in wonderland in 3D)..ever!

As you can see I'm totally spamming Bounce on my twitter, but I really can't stop talking about it. XD When I first saw the video, I was like that sounds just like Nick, wait what? No?!

Crraazzzzy, Nick letting his inner rapper finally coming out! XD I can't possibly decide on what's the most awesome in the video, EVERYTHING's awesome. All from Joe's wig to Big rob's cheese and ham dance. Totally epic.

Now I'm the kinda girl who likes to bounce. ;) Just bounce!

A good week

Good evening,

What more can I say? This have been a good week, well I only have a really horrible one to compare with so this was a good week. Something bad might possibly be when I was like the only one in Introdruction to journalism class that hadn't a "newsworthy" story about myself. (Although i think I could make a story out of it)

Yeah, what can I say? I am a person with no stories to tell. Sad, but true.

I'm also failing making friends at school. Don't know why it is so freakin' hard. Feels like no one wants to know of me, like I'm the nerd in class. Well maybe I am but....is it that obvious? XD I know now how much of a granted I've taken my friends in Sweden. I'd do anything to have you all here in London. Come and visit!!! XD My cousin from France however is visiting next week, YYYEEAAAAYY! A familiar face! :)

So the thing is I can't say I'm very fond of my Uni (YET!). Mostly because of last week, their admin is really terrible. I'm not really fond of the halls either, the library is really bad. It's like it hasn't been touched since it was built like in 1970. It's all grey and like dirty and stuffy, the mood level sinks to below 100 just when you enter the library.
Most of the rooms I have classes in are like vintage, you think you've walked into the set of a 80's movie. The computers! Don't even wanna talk about them. XD But I can live with all of this, most of my teachers are really good and really know what they're talking about. People in my classes are bright and certainly has motivation (which gives me even more motivation XD).

I knew I haven't chosen the best Uni but I'd thought it'd be fine, but sometimes I wonder..... XD

Several teachers on strike yesterday. Like what have gotten into? XD

We don't burn rabbits

Hi there,

Juste came across a really disturbing article at BBC's website. It's an article about that Swedes burn rabbits to use as fuel. It says that there are these "rabbit hunters" administrated by the city, who hunts down rabbits and freeze them down, to then burn as heating for homes.

Isn't this the most absurd thing you've ever heard? How wacked was the person making this up? The thing is nothing in the article seems truthful, the names in it aren't Swedish and the quotations are just so weird. I don't believe my eyes, it's in BBC for crying out loud! What will the Britons think of us?

Read and see for yourself: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8309156.stm

Weatherman says snow but it's burnin up outside

Good evening,
Just wanted to tell you about yesterday, which was a good day. XD (Haven't have those in a while have I? XD) Don't know if I told you I had this article for my journalistic practices class for monday (yesterday). I totally sat on sunday evening panic writing. It was supposed to do a local news article, so hmm, yeah what's going on in my area? I've only been here for bloody 2 weeks how should I know? And I didn't know. I tried to look it up, even read local newspapers, absolutely nothing, nada. I went around thinking about the article every day, didn't know what to write.

In the end I had the crappiest idea, but my ONLY idea, writing about the road constructions (which is still the only thing I know going on in my area). I thought I could get some funny lines and be done with it. I started writing in on saturday evening, continues Sunday-all day. It must have been my crappiest, or the crappiest article in the history of crappy articles. I couldn't even get the funny part right. Panic. Started to run this other idea, which was starting London met. Started writing, turned out crappy, so I thought I get some quotes to lift it up. I "interviewed" (more like asked some questions) my flatmate, who luckily goes to London met too. I practically got nothing out of it. Panic. My parents calmed me down (through MSN XD), I calmed down, altered some details and added the quote. Still crappy but it was at least viewable for the public.

So in class, the teacher starts to go around to the students and ask to read the articles. Gulp. I hear everyone got great ideas about ATM problems, something controversal and blabla. Geesh, my article was a joke. My article was the last one to read by the teacher before we started class. OMG. I knew I'd get run over, I even told him my article was awful. He started reading I couldn't even look at his direction, didn't want to see the frown on his face. After literally 3 seconds he says: "This is exactly what we're looking for" and hands me the article and moves on. Really?! Seriously?! I don't know what happened but I'm sure I didn't dreamt it. XD

Anyway, that was the beginning of a good day, later on the missing module appeared on my timetable. YES! Finally things started to clear up. :)

News flash: New Jonas Brothers song! It's called Summertime anthem and it's for All wrapped up 2 (disney holiday album). I think it's really good, was surprised at first it sounds so much like It's about time. Love it! :)

A week I don't want again

Hello,

This was definitely a week I wouldn't wanna relive again. I'm just glad it's over. :P Socialsickness is not something you joke about. So my japanese flatmate has sorta become my wall of talk-myself-off. I even made him eat with me today, haha poor dude. XD

Anyway I went down to Angel yesterday. It was just one of those really cozy sunny autmn days only London can get right, you know. ;)
The second picture is at the N1 shopping centre at Angel, I found ShakeAway soo crazy. Haven't had one since Bournemouth '06. XD The third picture is from the antique market I just randomly walked into. It was really cool with all the vintage stuff but the coolest must have been the Frozenyoghurt bar I found. XD

I could use somebody

Good mornin',

Felt like my recent blog entries has been really grumpy and kinda boring. So I'm gonna post some pics for ya. :)

The first one is my school (one of the buildings) from the inside court, I know the 80's called and they wanted their school back, I know. ;) Thanks for all your concerns and nice comments, it feels better now. There's still one module that's not on my timetable but whatever I've just stopped caring so much. I just show up on some class and I try to do my thing. As you can imagen my first journalism class kinda scared the hell outta me, but after the week I know that this is what I wanna do. My classes in the Fashion industry and introduction to journalism are really fun and interesting.

I was around Oxford street last sunday, went to this Mid-autumn celebration thing at the buddhist temple my mum made me go, then afterwards I just strolled down Oxford street solitarily. It's not the same doing it by yourself, the people looks different then. XD The second picture's from Disney store, see who's on the big screen? ;)
I'm actually looking for some autumn shoes, yeah can you imagen?! I'm not in need much of a new pair but my parents keeps telling me to buy stuff because I'm being so cheap over here. XD So guess a pair of new shoes wouldn't be wrong. :P

I think I've gotten used to living by myself here now, making dinner and buying groceries and all that stuff. But sometimes I feel really socialsick, I could really use my friends and fam. right now. XD I guess I have to buddy up with my flatmates that's all.

Cheers for now!

I'm still alive..barely

Hello,
I know I haven't updated for a while now. I've had too much on my mind and too much to deal with the last (NOTE) two days. My god, felt like an eternity, but it really was just two days.

As you know this Monday was my first real day in school, with lessons and all that. My first module (they call subjects modules over here XD) was Journalistic practices (loads of homework btw). The class was pretty small, probably because most of them couldn't find the place. It's not surprising.

I don't want you to think I'm exaggerating but it is actually almost impossible to find your way around without getting lost in the Tower building (main building). Even the people who are there to help (there are severeal help desks all over the place) get confused, I asked this guy once for directions to a room. And he was like no that room doesn't exist it must be this one, and showed me to a room. I thought, well maybe I copied off the wrong room, but since I was a bit early I started to explore the place, guess what? I found the room I was supposed to be in. Thanks for that. Anyway, besides from that additional story of mine XD, what I'm tring to say is, it's really really difficult to find your way around because the Main building is also connected with other buildings but you must go through the main building to get to those other buildings. It's like a crazy maze of corridors after corridors after corridors.

But that's not the main issue in my past 2 days. The thing was my modules and my time table. As I said even last week, there have been some problems with my timetable, not showing all of my modules etc. but the nightmare just got worse and worse. It turned out that they had registered 5 modules (6 even) to me, and I'm just supposed to have 4. I kept email attacking a teacher (module leader of my course) about my modules problem, and it came clear to me that not even she knew for sure what modules I was going to do.

So I went to the horrid Undergraduate Office (those of you who haven't seen the UG office on my uni, don't know what a horrid place it is). There is always, ALWAYS, a insanely long queue to the UG office, we're talking like up to 50 students queuing in a sweaty, bad aired corridor for around an hour each. I thought I'd be smart and go there just as they open in the morning. I even arrives 10 minutes before they openen and there were already like 20 people before me. I waited 45 minutes before it was my turn. Even the staff there don't know what have happened with my modules and he was like, yeah this is screwed up you have to re-register the correct ones. And he didn't know which was the correct ones, so I had to look them up and fill in this re-register form. Which was so not worth waiting 45 mins for. The guy told me to just come in from the other side and give them the form when I was ready, so when I returned they guy was not there of course. Instead there was this stare-y angry woman, she wouldn't believe I was there earlier and if I hadn't kept talking she would have sent me back to queue in that insane line. She was very reluctant to help and when I asked here something she would answer me very bitchy way. After she scolded me for implying it was it wasn't my fault that my modules were wrong, I set off. I said to myself that I never wanted to go there again unless someone forces me.

The nightmare continues with me attending the class that was registered on me although I'm not supposed to do. Several people from my course (fa. marketing & journalism) was there and they had different timetables and modules from me, and that made me really anxious if I had registered the right modules. I was just generally really anxious and frustrated. Because it felt like no one could or wanted to help me, I didn't know who to turn to, I had no one to talk to. It was really stressful, not knowing which lessons you should go to and not. It was hell.

And on top of that I had thousands of things to do after my first lesson in Journalistic Practices. Pressure, lonliness, helplessness is not a good combination. If it weren't for people around me keep encouraging and tellme to keep fighting, I don't know what I would have done. I was a wreck, but hearing people tell me that it'll be fine and that I would make everything alright, made me realize that I being alone is not always a good thing. We need people in our life, we need to know that people care about us.

I had a breakdown, but after really positive comments and so on, I'm better now. I just stopped caring so much. Like whatever!

No more fooling around

Hi thar,

So now the welcome week is over and hard core school (lectures, lessons, seminars etc) will start on Monday. Gulp.

As far as I know, I'm having Journalistic Practices at 10 o'clock as first lesson. But since there were a problem with my timetable and they couldn't hand it out to me, I can't be 100% sure. It is also accessable on the web but on my timetable there are only 3 subjects, but I'm supposed to have 4. XD

So after my failure to retireve my time table I went to check out the library and hopefully find some books I need. The library was huge, it has all this different floors and rooms, it was confusing. XD I logged into a computer however and looked up the books for my different subjects and chose some of them, those who sounded good like introduction to journalism and son on. I was kinda surprised how easily I could find the books and that they were even available.

Checking them out however wasn't that easy, it was not like borrowing at Stads biblioteket (draw card, click password, scan books), no they had to come up with this almost impossible system. Scan studentcard (barcode precisely under red light), wait 30 sec, do not remove card and scan books. You scan the books under the red light but how were you supposed to do that when your studentcard was placed there? Just the slightest touch of the card and the machine says I ahve to remove everything and start from the beginning. So the whole process was like a game of multitasking, balance and patience (because it took the machine 30 sec to scan the books). Anyway I managed to check out my four books (took me like 10 minutes XD) but I realized now I forgot my notebook at the check out or somewhere in the library. Crap XD.

I then rushed home to leave the books and to go to Camden town to meet up a friend. One of my ex classmates where in London visiting her sister so we decided to meet and stroll around Camden. I've thought of going to camden but never went. It is very different from like the high streets elsewhere in London but it's nice, alot of cheap store. ;) It was nice however seeing a familiar face (it feels like since forever) and chatting in Swedish. :P

I'm gonna get some reading, not showing up in journalism class utterly unprepared again! XD

Don't fret at Londonmet

Hello there,
So another 2 days has passed. I went ot the social event thing yesterday, it was quite okey. Got to talk to a postgrad girl from Hungaria and then I met the girl from the European seminar this summar. There were food and drinks and that was basically it. It was a'ight. XD

Today I've been to the inductory session for journalism and I just had to say wooow. It was so different from the laid back-here's the information session for fashion marketing.
First of all we all met in this huge lecture room and then got divided into our course group, as of deja vu when he called out Journalism like 50% of the people in room stood up. I was like soooo, I chose pretty popular stuff huh. XD But being in that session for journalism was like being in another world, the people is totally different. There were no blonde girls giggling or metal sounds from bracelets, people seemed really serious. And oh I came to figure that out!

The lecturer (prof. or whatever) talked for like 3 minutes about the course and then the next hour she actually made interact in class, asking questions, made us brainstorm and gave us an assingment. The first thing that made my heart beat faster and faster was that she asked us, what kind of journalism there were. And after a split second several people raised there hands, and it seemed to like everyone knew everything while I could nothing. She then took out 4 news papers (the guardian, the sun, daily mail and the mirror) and she told us to, in pairs, write down the characteristics for each of them. I was like; seriously?! I had no idea, it's not like I read the British papers everyday, so I turn to guy next to me. Which turns out to be Mr-know-it-all. However he explained to me the differences and was all like "ha-ha hope she doesn't ask you". I felt so out of place, how will I survive this?

She aksed us later what we had written and luckily quite a few people raised their hands. After each statement she asked us more about the papers like what kind of politcal view do they have and like, Who is this? (on the front page) and EVERYONE goes Gordon Browns wife. (I was like omg I never seen the woman in my entire life!) And when a girl answered wrong on which political wing the guardian was Mr-know-it-all had to shout out the right answer. Awesome I know.
Then as a final thing she asked us to (still in pairs) write a front page headline for the Sun. Two seconds later mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline, and I was like omg I can't do this. But I don't know what got into me the next moment but I actually came up with one, Don't fret at Londonmet. And when Mr-know-it-all saw it he was all like "That's really good". And then the horror continues when she asked from person to person what headline they had come up with, she then wrote them on the white board for us to later vote for the best on. (Heart skips 2 beat)

I felt a bit calmer though when she started fromt he other end and when I heard some less good headlines. Don't get me wrong most of them were really good, but I just felt really relieved. When it was our turn Mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline of his own and after he said it he was like but we got a better one and then pointed at me. I was like thank you for the patronizing. Anyway so after that assignment she let us go. (Freshers' pressure won btw) I was like stumbling out of the room as fast as I could. OMG, that's all I thought OMG.

But I'm kinda good with it now, I just have to study harder and read newspapers. XD Then later on it was time for enrolment, in which I heard the staffmember trying to pronounce Slutbetyg and then got my student ID card, and that's it. Now I'm gonna go make dinner and eat, ciao!

First day of school

Hellu,
So I thought you guys wanted to know about my very first day in school. Although it wasn't quite that interesting.

I got up around 8 and the first session was 10 o'clock. Haha I don't usually take that long to prepare but I had to make sandwiches to take with me and I had to take a shower before I went. I realized I've been kinda slow after the long summer break, with eating and dressing. XD
Anyway I got to school, knowing exactly where it was, asked the "helping people" were the room was and went in. To my delight the interior was kinda fresh and nice unlike the exterior. XD
When I came into the room there already people there, the only thought I had in my mind were, be invisible. Don't stare at people and you don't know if they stare at you. XD I quickly found a place to sit, luckily because like 5 minutes later it was fully crowded and some people couldn't even get into the room.

By some freakin' weird coincidence when I sat down, I heard the two girls next to me speaking in a language very similar to a language I knew very well. Maybe they were speaking norwegian, no they spoke SWEDISH! I immediatelly asked them in Swedish if they were from Sweden. And then it rolled on. I felt so relieved that I found Swedish people in my class.
The session started eventually and some costume dude welcomed us to the school and so on. Then for the next part we were gonna break up to the courses we were on. So I got "stuck" with like 40 flanellshirted girls for the Fashion marketing introduction session. Turned out 19 of them were gonna do Fashion marketing and journalism (which was I'm doing), so it wasn't that bad.

After the session we got like an assignment to do in groups. Like walk through the neighbourhood to get the "Neighbourhood profile". XD So me and one of the Swedish girls went down there, sat on Starbucks, walked a bit more. It was nice, she had been in London for 4 years and knew like all the places so I got to know a couple of things. :)

That was basically it. Tomorrow I'm gonig to this social event thing for London met busniess school students. It might be fun or it might be suicide, we'll see. XD

Heroes is back in town.

Hi there,
Must tell you that the internet I have here is really slow, it's not even 1 mb/sec. So like a 4 minute video on Youtube takes me like an hour to upload, but to my surprise however uploading series (megavideo,divx,vureel etc) doesn't take that much time, I mean compared to the time it took me at home. Which I'm really really thankful for, cuz now I can catch up all of the shows I watch.

I kinda lost interest in Heroes after the fourth season. I didn't even cared to find out if they were doing a new season. Then out of nowhere my friend told me, last week, she'd watched the trailer to the fifth season. I was like Oh so they still make the show. XD With basically nothing better to do I started to upload the first episode, actually the second too since it was a double episode.

So after I seen it now I really hope that the producers and writers have pulled themselves together and made this a good sustainable season. Because I like Heroes I really do, I want it to be good again. So to my delight the season opening seemed very promising.

Caution next part may contain spoilers.

It's nice seeing Claire in school again. She got a new haircut and I really liked it, I'm so over her wigs from season 3 and 4. XD Just have to say PSSYYCCCHHOOO roomate! XD
I don't think I've ever shipped any relationships in heroes, but I totally do now with Ando and Kimiko (well maybe Mohinder and Eden from s1). Yeay! :D And finally they got rid of that scumbag Denko! XD

Can honestly say I really look forward for tomorrow's episode "Ink". Mohinder is gonna be in it and I can't wait to get to know those creepy circus people more. Haha.

Flatmating

Haya,
Wow, I've been in London for almost a whole week now. Crazy. I've been alone in London almost 4 days now. Crazy.

I haven't been up to much since doesn't quite know people around here. I've talked to my flatmates for a bit and they seem very nice. I originally have 4 flatmates but one of them moved out, so as far as I know, there are 2 chinese girls and a japanese guy in my flat. "Oooh, chinese girls you're lucky" you might think but not really they're from Beijing and speaks mandarin. Since I hardly speak any mandarin it's even difficult understanding them sometimes. They've been friends even before they came to London, so I find it a bit difficult to get to know them. I mean they're basically together all the time and only speaks mandarin with each other. But I'll figure something out, I hope. :P

The japanese guy is really quiet, I hadn't heard/seen a glimpse of him in 2 days and he could might as well been kidnapped or something, but I saw him in the stairs today so it's all good. XD There were also this guy from Camroon but he changed room as said.

They're all older than me, the japanese guy is 26 and the girls are 20. The funny thing however is that I'm the only one who cooks and uses the kitchen. Really, I'm like the only one who has food in the kitchen and kitchen supplies in the cupboards. So basically I can't hope to bump into them in the kitchen, because they're never there. XD

So anyway apart from that, school will start in 2 days. I'm actually kinda nervous. I'm afraid I won't like the school or that the course is too hard. Agony! XD

London Metropolitan University, the Tower Building and Graduate centre.

Stapleton House, London Met business department. In other words, this is where I'll be next Monday on. XD

Europe Music Awards

Zup,
Just a quick update about this year MTV Europe Music awards. It's gonna be held in Berlin the 5th November. The voting has started and I can gladly announce that Jonas Brothers are nominated as Best Group. The chances of winning however aren't that high (they're up against Black eye peas, Green day, Kings of leon and Tokio hotel) I'd say but it's nice voting for them anyway. :D

So keep clicking that vote button!

The big game is on

Toodles,

So now I've been living here for 3 days. I'm very much settled in and thank god for that. I know the neighbourhood, where to buy cheap food, how to get to school etc. I have all the kitchen/bathroom supplies I need and food in the fridge, so I'm all good. My dad leaves tomorrow so the big game's ON!

I felt I missed home, my guitar, the TV and so on the second day here but I think most of it has gone. I'll probably do after my dad leaves but I strongly thinks it won't be that bad. I've got most of things sorted out by now, the rent, the jackass indian music, washing and so on. Feels safe. XD Just have to deal with the social thing now.

My dad and I went to the city today. Oxford street and China town. It was nice, finally felt that I was actually IN London, like the real London. XD Real London is good London.

China Town all prepped for Mid-autumn festival.
