The Vampire Diaries

Just started watching the Vampire Diaries and it’s pretty good. It reminds me a great deal about Twilight though, but is at the same time its own kind. Worth a watch if you like mysterious, dark shows and if you liked Buffy.

Time for a update, I guess

Since a friend told me to update this blog, I guess I should make her happy.It’s five days into February and life is great. I’m a bit fed up with the snow but other than that, I don’t complain. I had a seminarium last Thursday that was really interesting. I think I had never been so nervous, not even when I did the presentations at the Teachers’ Programme last fall. This was something different because my group was the last one to do the presentation and I was the last one in the group to do my part. Also, it was a subject that was hard to grasp at first but when we finally got it, it was pretty easy to do some reflection over. I was even the one to conclude the group’s reflections with a question to discuss. My God, I think I was pulsing everywhere in my body. I had a great interpreter though so I think I managed it good.

It’s been a great running week as well. Last month, I ran a total of 235 kilometers, averaging 50-60 km a week.

It’s 2.40 a.m. and I should definitely go to sleep. I got home for about 1 hour ago from working at the deaf club, where there was a poker tournament, which was actually a very interesting night. I have been working there a few times, but tonight it was a bit unpleasant when I had to solve some conflicts with some guests. Despite that, the night ended okay with other nice guests that made the atmosphere somewhat better.

The first thing I do tomorrow is to go out for a run.

See ya folks.

It’s gonna be a fully occupied week…

Practically, today is the only day I can relax this entire week. But, I won’t relax. I can relax when I’m dead.

Anyways, I will go running soon and then it’s badminton and soccer practice tonight. I will also get some studying done today. Tomorrow, university 8-10 and 13-14, lunch with two friends, work 19-21 and then off to the night train to Stockholm where I change train on Thuesday morning to Falun. Back from Falun on Thursday night, about 11 p.m. Friday, university 9-11. Saturday- Gocart 13.30-1500, then work at the deaf club 16.00 until it’s closed. Sunday, 20 km running. Of course I will get some running done on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday as well. So, a fully occupied week with other words. Next week should be a lighter week, but I can’t say for sure. I have seminarium next Thursday, so there will be some group work before then. I don’t complain though.

23 days left until I leave for the United States for the sixth time, but first time since 2007. It’s gonna be awesome seeing friends I haven’t seen for such a long time.

See ya later, will do some studying and then off to run.

Life is beautiful

I seriously Love My life. Its been an interesting week filled with many amazing events and unforgettable memories. First week at the media and communications studies at lund university, a cool and, i gotta add, very hot teacher who is intellectual and sensible as well, first time at a night club in Malmö which was different and fun, working tonight in deaf club and tomorrow off to the Woods and running 19 km then dinner and movies with 2 friends. I like life like this!:)

Peace.

I have a question for all of you….

why do girls always have to spend a lot of hours to get ready for partying?

I never was one of those girls… until now, I guess.

I started 7 p.m. with a shower. And now, 2 hours and 20 minutes later, I’m done with my party look. It took me 1 and a half hour to fix my hair. It’s a personal record, I think.

Anyways, off the topic… How many of the movies, documentary films, programs and shows produced each year do you think have a hidden message, or a purpose, that the audience just receive without thinking that the specific media form actually wants them to believe in the purpose of it? I realized today that you always got to question each program, show, movie, news article and so on and try to see different views of it. In fact, each media form gives you just one viewpoint. I think I appreciate media more after this new realization, because from and now I’ll research about the messages and purpose of every form of media I watch, read, experience and receive every day.

The most important people in my life

I thought to dedicate an entire entry to the most important people in my life. My family. Of course, friends are important to me as well, but i would not have been the person I am today if it wasn’t for my family.

First of all, my mom, my best friend.I can really talk with her about almost everything. There are, of course, some certain things I will never reveal for her, but would rather talk with friends about. Anyways, my mom is always there for me and I know I always have her trust and faith in me whatever I do. I don’t remind so much of my mother’s look as my brother does, but I have seen some pictures of me that was so much alike my mother so despite all, I perhaps have some of her looks. Anyways, I and my brother have the similar smile which definitely comes from mom. My laughter comes from her, as well. Can’t imagine a life without you, mom. Love ya.

Secondly, my daddy, my hero. The only person who can annoy the hell out of me but who at the same time makes me proud of being his daughter. I have got most of my characteristics from my father, which is why we often fight and rarely agree upon anything. We are just so much alike. I have his eyes and my looks are mostly from him. Anyways, both of us like running and I can be as stubborn as him. One thing I learned from him is never to give up and keep on doing whatever I want to do. Thanks to both him and mom, I always choose my own path in life. I will always be daddy’s girl no matter how much we fight. Thank God, I think we don’t fight as much now after I have moved back home for more than a half year ago as we did in the beginning.

Thirdly, my elder brother. We aren’t so close to each other, but whenever I see him we still share the special sister-and-brother bond. I love to tease the hell out of him and be mean to him. I love to show him who’s the boss and get him to be annoyed at me. With other words, I tend to be a smart-ass whenever I’m around my brother. I do that just because he’s my big brother. Speaking of which, he actually has his 23rd birthday today.

Other persons are also worth mentioning in this entry.. My maternal grandma who reminds me much of myself. We are both pretty restless, adventurous people and both of us tend to walk quickly. We also share the love for James Dean and she actually got jealous of me when I bought a t-shirt with James Dean some week ago.

My maternal grandpa is the most patient person I know. He also has a great sense of humor and is just an amazing person to be around. I couldn’t have wished for a better grandpa.

My paternal grandma is a unique person, whose food I love. Just like my other grandma, she makes delicious food. I especially love her sauce!

My paternal grandpa was (he passed away for almost 3 years ago) a great grandpa who reminded me so much of my father, in his own ways. We didn’t see so much of each other when I was a kid, since he got remarried and lived in Stockholm during my first childhood years. However, when he moved back south in the beginning of my teen years, we saw pretty much of each other and I got to know the grandpa I came to love and mourn after his death. It was very difficult for me to accept that he was dead and still today, sometimes I can just happen to think of him and cry. He got to go to the United States with my family to see me in the end of my exchange year and it was also when I realized something was wrong with his health. One year later, he passed away. At least, he got to see what it was like in the US before he died.

There are of course many other important people in my life as well- my three aunts who are the most awesome aunts in the entire world, my closest friends and other people who make a difference in my life. I am also grateful for many people who have crossed my path in life. Everyone have made a difference, in one way or another, in my life.

Peace, folks.

Some random thoughts

Its been an amazing start on 2010 so far. I’ve run 87 km in total since January 1st. I’m almost finished with my 3rd essay for university, which will be handed in this Friday. Yay!

Last Friday, I had a fun get-together-dinner with three of my classmates and two teachers from junior high school. We even went out to the pub together and chatted until 1.30 a.m. What was also fun and weird was that we were talking about scary ghost stories while we were sitting in that pub. It’s definitely not a common subject for conversation while being out in a pub.

Earlier today, I also made a list of what I want to accomplish the following 10 years. It’s really a lot, but yet I’m sure I will have accomplished many of those things in the list. It’s simply about to keep on dreaming and trying to make them come true. If I failed, I have yet tried and it’s all that counts.

I even watched the classical movie The Ten Commandments from 1956 starring Charlton Heston among others. Trust me, I’m not a religious person and I don’t believe in God and stuff like that. However, I have always had a fond affection for stories told in the Bible. I simply love those stories. Ten Commandments is definitely an amazing movie, one of a kind. The picture is so beautiful and the story is powerful. But hadn’t it been for Heston, I think it wouldn’t have been the same thing. He simply makes a great and convincing performance as Moses. As a child, I loved the animated movie Prince of Egypt. Of all stories told in the Bible, I think I’m most fascinated with the stories of Moses.

Also, I found a t-shirt with the motive of James Dean when I went shopping yesterday and of course I bought it! The movies Giant, East of Eden and Rebel without a Cause are definitely among my favorite movies. James Dean was really a one-of-a-kind actor, who died far too young.

I look forward the rest of the month: watching the latest episodes of Heroes, going to Stockholm this weekend (staying with my aunt’s family), enrolling the media- and communications course in Lund next week and going to Falun in the end of this month. Also, not to forget, to run many more miles.

See ya all, folks.

I’m hungry as hell!

No mystery on that part. I ran 17 km on 1 hour and 27 minutes, so I deserve some delicious food now! Mom’s making a stew of pork tenderloin which happens to be my favorite meat.

Anyways, the 1 hour and 27 minutes on 17 km is my new personal record. To run 20 km on 1 hour and 40 minutes is a goal that’s not too far away. This makes me believe that I can really finish Copenhagen Marathon in less than four hours if I will continue with my personal improvement until May. The only thing I gotta do is believe in myself and run as much as I can.

I look forward running the marathon and see if all my hard work has been paid off.

Peace, folks.

Here’s my first entry of 2010!

Right now, I have a horny female cat, Amber, who’s trying to get fucked with. Amber is my brother’s cat, by the way. I have already told him he should castrate her. I really feel sorry she has to go through several days of being horny without getting any, you know!

Anyways but thats not the point of this entry. Seems like I survived 2009! It was a good year, now I am looking forward to what 2010 has to offer me.

I made resolutions with two of my friends about not eating candies, sweeties, chips and soda at all this entire year. Only nuts, almonds and healthy snacks are allowed! Won’t be too difficult for me, since the only thing I carve is chips and I just gotta stop with that. I have never liked candies and sweets too much and I barely drink sodas, except when I am eating at restaurants or something. I prefer fruits over candies and sweets, so I guess I’m gonna carve a lot more fruits this year to survive without chips. No cookies, cakes or ice cream for me, either, if not its special occasions like birthday parties or something like that. No big deal on that part, too, as I am not too crazy about cakes and cookies.

I have other resolutions as well but they are of no importance to be mentioned in this blog, merely for myself to keep.

Another thing! Only 1 month and 17 days left until I’m leaving for NYC, Maryland and DC for 11 days! I can’t wait to go there once again… It is going to be my 6th time. However, the last time I was in NYC, MD and DC was for almost four years ago. Last time I was in USA, which was in 2007, I was roadtripping with a friend around California, Nevada and Arizona.

Anyways, it’s gonna be fun seeing all the people I haven’t seen for such a long time as well as meet some new people. I’m also looking forward to do some running around in Central Park, shopping in 5th Avenue as well as Soho, watching a play with my friend Brittany, going to see Tussauds’ Wax Museum, of which I’ve visited only in London but never in NYC, shopping a couple of new All Star Converse shoes that are a lot more cheaper over there. I look forward meeting the two hostfamilies I had during my exchange year in MD (2005-2006) as well! Simply said, I look forward a lot of things to do and a lot of people to meet over there.

See ya folks and may 2010 be an amazing year!

I wish you all…

a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
