What a great celebration

Bachelorette-weekend. I’m still tired. But it was all so worth it! My cousin was kidnapped from her workplace on Friday. She was completely confused when she saw everyone as she was running towards her car as someone had told her she had got a parking ticket. amazing! Then the group took of to go bear-feeding and Champaign-drinking at Skånes animal park. Then all went to my cousins place to drink a bit more and have take-away pizza before leaving somewhere between 23 and 24.

Christina (the bride to be) was really baffled, even telling her boyfriend; that was a bit quiet. She says she wasn't disappointed but I felt soo guilty all night cus I thought she was. Could barely sleep at all!

Anyway. On the Saturday, at 10,00 sharp, all the girls came back to Christians’ flat to surprise her once again with an awesome Champaign breakfast. Freshly baked buns, melons, strawberries, cheeses and loads more of lovely stuff :) Oh the look on her face! I so wish I would have taken a picture!
Throughout the day we had a pentathlon (including sumo-wrestling, a toilet race, boxing in an air castle, basketball and bungee runs), fed the ducks (for some reason the bride loves that) and had a light spa treatment in the hot water pool. And we ate of course, a lot of brilliant food! And to top it all off we went out to eat even more at a favorite place where the food was to die for and the drinks even better! 

At the end I think the bride-to-be was more than satisfied :)



Unfortunately all the pictures, except for this one, are classified until after the wedding so you´ll have to trust your imagination on this one!

So lets think of Norway for a bit.

The country which in my eyes represents a calm temper, peace and outstanding living conditions. It’s also Norwegians that, together with Danes, in my opinion resemble Swedes the most. It is so close and I’m not sure if I would feel much different if it actually happened an hour or so east instead.
I do know that I would feel different if it happened in the middle east, cus there it happens all the time. And how horrible is that sentence? I know it’s really really bad cus all humans are equally worth in my eyes and I do feel bad for reacting like that. So why do we think like that (and yes, I know it’s not just me)? Well my guess is that we are only human and when tragedy hits close to home we can’t detach ourselves from it anymore. And maybe it’s wrong to detach ourselves from what happens in the rest of the world. Maybe we do it cus it is so hard to comprehend, but when evil stares in our faces we can’t avoid it anymore. Maybe after this weekend we will see other attacks around the world with new eyes.

It is truly unbelievable how one man can change the reality for thousands and thousands of people. How one man can consider it ok to kill someone else’s child, friend or sister? And I don’t think it stops with immediate family, I believe that the whole country, entire Scandinavia and maybe even Europe changed a bit over the weekend. Even if I don’t know anyone directly affected by the attack I know my reality has changed.

To all Scandinavians reading this, you should also read this!

Lots and lots of love to our brothers and sisters in the Northwest!

drawing wins!

Ok, so I thought I would tell you what I do for a living over the summer cus I really, really like my workplace. Actually I’m doing different things all the time, sometimes you can find me in the reception, sometimes selling/drawing kitchen solutions, sometimes in the construction department and occasionally by the tinting machine. All parts are quite different from each other, except for the very important task of problem solving which follows you wherever you go. That’s how I see it all; I’m there to find solutions for customers or to find someone who can solve an issue in my place.

Today for example, I have been working in the kitchen department all day but accidentally got a call regarding a missing toilet (I know, it sounds hilarious, but I assure you it is not for those who are moving in to their new house this weekend..) which I spent hours trying to track all over Sweden and then replace.

Another problem I think I have cracked today is the layout of a kitchen in order to be both functional and match the customer’s aesthetical desires.

The kitchen is quite classic with white mirror doors from Ballingslöv and countertop in black granite from Naturstenskompaniet. One of the main requirements were to keep the floor clear to allow them to entertain rather large groups.

Please consider that I don’t know what sort of fan the client wants yet and that spotlights are missing. Also, I didn’t have time to decorate it today, might give you a better picture tomorrow :)

And to go back to the very start of this post I have to say that I also love working there because of my co-workers, great gang!

I’m gonna dye my hair black, get cool clothes and start a music career.

Oh boy
You make me feel so,Oh boy
You really turned me, On boy
and I don't know what to do
I really really wanna...

..make me swirl, like a tiny little pearl
I will patiently wait,'Til you're done
with this other girl

Oh my, what a weekend! I know blogging hasn’t been my strong side lately and I have tons to tell you about my marvelous trip, but all that will have to wait even longer cus right now I want to share some info on my new love with you guys.

Her name is Miss Li. She is amazing. She’s got long dark hair, the coolest clothes and her voice is to die for. I attended her concert yesterday and I have never seen anyone perform as good live as she did.

 

Yes, me and Jenny where so close to the stage and could almost touch her!

Have a looksie!

But the music didn’t stop there, after miss li we went to se Sahara Hotnights concert as well. And once again I was completely blown away! They really rocked! And locked hot! Bay far the hottest rock chicks I have ever seen, grrr ;)

And the fun didn’t stop there. We went to see another favorite of mine,  Artmade! The local awesome guys who kicked as, once again!

To top it all off I met so much fun people. Friends from the past whom I haven’t seen for ages and made some new ones as well.

I love picnic concerts/festivals! Don’t you?

Chandrias, Dassia, Corfu, Greese

As you probably know this is a family vacation, and I must say that the view from my parents room is the most impressive one ever!

Quite nice huh? Across the see is actually Albania. Which we might visit one day this week, would be quite interesting since I know NOTHING about the country.  

As you can see below my view isn't too bad either ;)

The clouds in the pictures are the only ones i have seen since we arrived. The wether is brilliant. Warm, but not too hot and windy in a very good way. So I have spent my time sunbathing, eating, drinking wine and eating a bit more (Breakfast included and it is totally amazing!). And tomorrow well take a drive on the mopeds! :)  

Oh and I have been good, haven't gone lobster just yet!

The only downsides here is really the politics and economy as they cant afford to go out as mush anymore, a lot of local tavernas are way too empty. And another bad, I have totally smashed my toe nail, two cracks and too much blood, isch!    

In whole, its amazing. Love Corfu, love Greece!

Jamas! 

7 days of pure pleasure!

I can’t wait to get on Corfu. In less than 24 hours I’ll be in paradise, and I’ll have a drink, a pink one with a tiny umbrella in it.

The photo is from the hotel area and I can’t wait to get to live in the luxurious environment for an entire week! I have never lived in such an awesome hotel before, and it’s not likely to happen again anytime soon so I’m going to enjoy every moment of it. I’m going to relax by the sea, drive moped in the mountains, eat lots of brilliant food, get a tan (Fabio: high Spf I promise! I’m not going lobster!) and hopefully go sailing a bit :)  And of course, the reason to this awesome trip; Ill celebrate my dad’s 60^th birthday with family and friends!
