Something mobbed or something very mobbed

Here you go my very first music video/cover. It's Jonas Brothers (very old) song "Eternity". It is very dorky and laughingly but still I hope you like it and doesn't laugh so much that you choke. XD

And if you don't mind check out the youtube "verision" and giv eme some views. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIT2rmNmMM8 There you can also check out my music video of "Please Be Mine".

ENJOY O.O (dorkface)

Things less aggravating

I'm SOOOOOO MAD! The CD came out yesterday, "A little bit longer" (Jonas Brothers), and I haven't gotten it yet. I booked/bought it 3 months ago and have waited much more.
It was kinda OK waiting before, when everyone waited equally but now! I can't help getting so mad, that everyone has it, listening to it the 100th time and talking about it when I got nothing. (ELIN, shut up! XD)
But soon..SOON. The shipping will take at least 2-3 days, so if I don't get it this week someone's head is on the chopper! XD

-d e e p b r e a t h -


So let's talk about things less aggravating......... (thinking) well, let's go from aggravating to depressing.
The summer is slowly coming to an end and I'm scared that I don't have time to do all the things I planned to do, but I have to admit I've done loads of things this summer. :D

Let's take a look at the list:
DONE:
-Get a Youtube account
www.youtube.com/thatmandy
-Get present for a friend
-Redo the walls of my room
I'll put a photo up, SOON
-Upload new video(s) to the blog
YES, I made two cover/music videos recently. I've uploaded them on my youtube but I'll upload them here too. (Next entry)

HALF-DONE:
-Read at least 2 books (eventually Twilight, Harry Potter och Dödsrelikerna?)
I've finished the Agatha Christie book, started with "Världens största konspirationer"=World's biggest conspiracies, not done yet.
-Learn new songs on the guitar (All-american rejects, Hey There Delilah the whole song, Camp rock songs?)
I don't remember which song I didn't know before the summer. I know Hey there Delilah, Eternity and Kung Fu grip now. Should I've learnt more?
-Learn the "Hey the Delilah" lyrics properly
I did for know them for a while, then came the hgue JB phase and yesterday playing it I mixed up the senteces. DARN IT!
-Get a proper tan (t-shirt tan, so embarrassing..)
I tried, tried hard. It's not as disgusting anymore but still
-Look through all the school application brochures/booklets and decide my future
I've looked through them all, I've done lots of thinking. I just need to look up stuff on the net. So this one is 3/4 done. XD
WHATEVER XD:
-Make tutorial videos and co-op with Therese!
Tutorial? What was I thinking? Maybe in the future. Höhö, I don't think Therese ever wanted to make co-op vids with me XD
-Print out photos
Hhhmmm, something I really want to do before school...time is the question.
-Blog at least every other day
How was that again? You tell me XD
-Ride bike around whole Malmö
I wanted to, don't have time anymore. Future plans!

It maybe doesn't look like I've done much but I have and this summer was no doubt the best summer of my life yet! I'll give you a review of it later. Enjoy my videos for now. XD

A Tourist in London

Wednesday, the last whole day in London. Finally it would be a rainfree day (they said..)
We hit the tube (subway XD) a bit after 8. We bought this one day travel card which was even cheaper than only 2 rides on the tube.

Our first destination was Westminster- Big Ben/House of Parliament. Then London eye on the other side. (I just couldn't stop thinking that Jonas Brothers had been in one of those capsules XD) We took pictures, met some weird people and made a (disastrous) vlog. We took the tube, after asking some policemen the way there XD, to London bridge. The original idea was to look at the Tower Bridge but there had been some misunderstandings so we just took some long distance photos and moved on to the next place, the Shakespeare Globe theatre.
We walked from there, it was a bit tricky and we made some really lucky guesses (we did have a map....XD) before finally arriving at the globe theatre. I've seen the theatre several times before (from Thames ferries) but I've never been there. I couldn't actually go in though :(, but we had tons of things to see anyway.
We kept walking, we walked across the Millenium Bridge. Huhu, I saw this suit-man standning at the bridge just starring down the bridge with a somewhat sad-looking face, he had even taken off his coat. I thought for real that we was going to jump, he didn't though...XD On the other side of the bridge was St. Paul's cathedral (which we didn't know was there) so sort of improvised we went there to look and then just took the tube from St Paul's station.

We arrived soon at Liverpool street with the tube. We'd looked up markets in London before going and decided to go to 2 around the Liverpool street area. The Petticoat Lane market said to be open at 10 o'clock, it was 10.30 when we arrived there still there were only a few stands (stånd) that were open, the others were still unpacking their stuff. So instead we went to the other market nearby, to our great disappointment we found out that this market were not open on Wednesdays. (We switched sightseeing day remember?) We kept wander around until we found a Tesco store, where we went in and bought lunch and ate it at the busstop outside. XD We then went back to the first market, which now looked more like a real market. It was mroe fo a clothes-shoes-bags market, I'd hope for a vintage jewellry market but anyway i found a relly cool T-shirt. :D

We went to the nearest tube station to go to St. James Park, to visit her royal highness's house- Buckingham Palace. It was about this time the sun came out and it became warmer which was nice. The place (picture 2) was swarming with tourists as always. We sat by the fountains and enjoyed the sun for a while. After a quick rest we headed back to the tube station to catch another tube to South Kensington, to the Science Museum.
We didn't know about the direct udnerground passage to the museums so we wandered around on ground, mixing up the streets and all that fun stuff. XD eventually we found the place and once again the place was swarming! We watched some stuff, it wasn't like the Science museums I've been to this was like a real museum. XD We did however find an interessting section with the theme the Future. The whole room felt very futuristic, with minimalsim and all the white. There were 3 huge round tables, these were sort of a game with a projector on the cieling above the tables, which made the tables look like a big computer screen. Along the edges of the tables there were one button one revolving disk, there were about 10 of these "seats" on each table. We soon found at that it was a game about different theories in the future, such as Space holidays, men having babies and talking toilets. First they showed a short presentation of the theory then there was a game (catching babies and so on XD). It ended with a poll; "Would like to go on a space holiday?" and so on, then you could see the results of the other people voting that day. It was actually really fun. After an hour or so we headed back to the tube station.

The next stop was Covent garden. We went to the Jubliee Market, looked and bought stuff. XD Then we walked back to the hotel, What a day!
We went to eat dinner for a change XD, to went to China town and ate a buffet. YUM. Then it was abck to the hotel to pack and sleep for very (VERY) early day in the morning.

Yup that was basically the whole story. XD I also got 6 mosquito bites the last day so my leg have been swallen and ichy ever since coming home.....

See you later alligator!

Under a rainy cloud in London[edited]

Long time no see! I'm back with a wonderful accent and all. No jk. Really London have been crazy and absolutely wonderful.
I actually sat on the bus and wrote down a sorta "template" for my entries about London. It was bored and there were a few bumps here and there, and really I have to really focus to read what I've written. XD So I'm just gonna start from scratch. XD


It was me and a friend that decided we'd go to London this summer. I found this bus company (travelled wth them before) adn they had a 6-day trip to London and I thought it was relly nice. (You know it's more environment friendly XD)
Off we go, exited and happy. The first day, Saturday, started early, 7 o'clock the departure was 8.10. There were alot of old people on the bus of course, but there were some families and youngsters (XD like ourselves).
The trip to our frist stop in Germany was alright, we'd eaten at home and had some food with us, so that was fine. We arrived around 9 o'clock and it was time for dinner. The hotel was really off, middle of nowhere but it was really nice. We ate and then went to bed, basically, I mean there's no use in watching German TV everything is dubbed and you there's nothing you understand. XD


The next day involved more bus (really?XD) and going through the Eurotunnel. When we came over to the British island we stopped at Ashford to eat lunch. The diner was in this American western style, it was really cool. They had these american car licences throughout the whole diner, though that was cool. (picture 2, GO NEW JERSEY ;)) We had fish and chips and I have to admit that, I never felt this full again on the rest of the trip.
we then continued and around 4 o'clock we were driving down the streets of London. :D We hoped we'd arrive early to get in some shopping before they closed and we did! I went into HMV for like 10 minutes then came out £40 pounds poorer just like that. XD I realized later that if I continued this way I'd run out of money (which I eventually did).
We also went to Leicester Square to catch a movie, what we didn't now that it costs a fortune to watch a movie here but we decided to watch anyway. I really wanted to see a movie on Odeon on Leicester Square, how cool wouldit be to watch where all London preimeres are? XD We wanted to see "The Forbidden Kingdom" but unfortunately it only showed on a smaller screen at some kind of annex to the Odeon. I've never been tot he cinemas in England and thoguht it was really cool, the movie sucked but the experience was cool. XD

The following day, Monday, we planned to shop. After breakfast (crunchy nut YUM! XD) we started the very long day on Oxford street. I've never been the part of Oxfordstreet beyond the crossroad at Regent Street, so that was interesting for me. We went to Primark, which was insane XD and I finally foudn my favourite clothingstore in England, New Look. WIE! Here (picture 3) we are at Debenhams on Oxfordstreet where I found the bag of my dreams but didn't buy.....
The day went on with more rain and some shopping. After a quick rest in the Hotel we decided to walk down to Picadilly circus (picture 1), it had just started to get dark so it was really beautiful. My feet hurt so bad in the end of the day!
We watched the news (BBC news was like the only channel we had in our hotelroom) and they said it'd be rain on Tuesday, which was our planned day to go sightseeing. We thought it wouldn't be as fun if it rained that day so we switched the last day for sightseeing instead of shopping.

So Tuesday we had another day of shopping by this time a had a really bad ache in my legs and feet, but I continued on bravely. We went first to Primark to turn back some clothes that didn't fit (the line to the fitting room the previous day was insane! So I just guessed and bought XD). We came around opening time so there were not so many people and it felt so peaceful and calm, comparing to the caotic previous day. XD I could relax and really look for clothes, I ended up buying a pair of shoes and a top.
We went down some streets that supposed to be shopping streets but got ripped off and just went back, like New Bond Street and Baker street. XD So we decided to go to Hyde Park and see the Peter Pan statue.

The cross to the left is the Peter Pan statue and the other cross is our Hotel. The red line is supposed to be the way we walked but in reality we walked much more because we took some detours XD We calculated it and it's about 17 kilometres...... in the rain XD But it was kinda worth it, Peter Pan is one of my favourite stories ever. :D
We walked back to Oxfordstreet and crashed down at the very first place we saw had food. XD It was KFC, we were all hungry so we acted all silly. After a rest in the hotel we walked down to Trafalgar Square.
After that we took a detour back to the hotel and somehow ended up in Covent Garden. (picture 6) The market was closed by now so we decided if we had time tomorrow we'd come here again. The killing-our-legs-and-feet-day was nto over yet NO, we walked up Tottenham courtroad to see of there was some interesting shopping places. We got ripped off again, then we went into Tesco and bought soem food.[edited]
We came eventually home and was dead tired, NO WONDER we'd walked several miles just in one day. (I actually didn't realized that myself, until reviewing it now)

I'm just gonna stop here and post the last day (the sightseeing day) in London on the next entry. See Ya :D

The nicest kid back in town XD

Haya guys, I'm back! Here you go my very first vlog in front of the London Eye (just like Jonas Brothers XD) Tell you more later..;)

So here goes a script (XD):

London Calling

LONDON IS CALLING (!) my name. If you haven't read or been living under a rock for the few past weeks (KIDDING!) I am going to London tomorrow with a friend on a 6 days shopping hysteria. It is going to A W E S O M E. Probably I won't be able to get access to a cpmuter or something like that, so see yah 8th Aug. ;)

I'm really sorry to tell you this, but I've unfortunately lost my sunglasses! :'( I liked them so much! So in London I'll go a hunt for a new pair, I'd love have a pair turquoise. (The ones Kevin has ;))

Rest In Peace
