Xmas nails

I wanted my new nails to look like snow!!
Would be nice by the beach haha
And then the girl said something peculiar.. 
She said: "You should let me dye your eyebrows"..
I was like: "Huh??!!" Errr no.. I don't like doing stuff to my eyebrows..
Want them to look natural. She insisted and said they would look so much
nicer if they were a bit darker. Me not being able to say no went along with it.
Need to take a picture. 

I think they are much darker and she shaped them too.
I guess I look nicer now :) But Ads didn't notice.. Men! ;) haha

I am almost ready for my holiday now!
Just need to pack.. Always leave it till the last minute..
But I got it all on top of the bag.. Just have to put it inside...

I'll do it again

No drinking after New Years Eve. 
I did it early this year. I did not have one sip of alcohol from the 1st of January
till beginning of April. I have a feeling it will be even longer this time.
I know I can do it. I don't drink much at all. Not had a proper drink for ages now.
Think I'll have a few cocktails/ glasses of vino and some Sangria whilst in Tenerife :)

Some of my favourite drinks:

Long Island Ice Tea
Mojto, yummy
Rosé wine.

I do not drink beer. I think it smells awful..
What drink is your favourite?



Random thoughts

I've been ridiculously bad at blogging this year :(
I've been looking back in my blog and last year was pretty good apart from one thing..
I had an eventful year with a lot to write about and do.
This year started badly and is now ending quite rubbish too. I only wish 2011 will be a bit better..
I did however have a wonderful time in Florida in September/October. 
It was something I will treasure forever. Still got lots more pictures to show you.
Will make an effort to put them up soon.

Shall I?

***************UPDATE*****************

I've decided I won't do it..
I was thinking of going home for a week before we go away to Tenerife...
I really want to go, but the more I thought about it the more I realised that it
would be reckless of me. My arms are still healing and I still need a lot of help to
do certain things, so I decided against it :'(
Would have been nice to go back home, but it would also be difficult with 2 not so functional arms.

*******************************************************************
My wonderful, caring, loving bf Ads said something today that made me happy.
It's something mad, and crazy, but that's me so....
Not sure though as it would mean some risk for me I think with my arms being the
way they are at the moment..
But it's something I really want!!!
Have to think about it properly before I make a decision..

F off please

Selfish people can leave me alone.
I am sick of being the idiot that people come to when they need me,
but when I need them they're nowhere to be found.

No no no. Not being the nice girl anymore. I can be the nicest person to people I care about.
I got the biggest heart and so much patience with people.

But I can also feel fed up with people who take the piss over and over...
And sometimes it's ok to say "F*** OFF"!

So the people who think they can just come and go whenever they feel like it..
THINK AGAIN.

Good bye and good riddance.

Life is too short and precious for me to waste my breathe on you.





(this is to a few certain people, if you take offense I do apologise, but it is what it is.
If you know me as a person you'll know how much I love my true/real friends.
And you know who you are. This is not towards you ♥ )

Abito

Not sure if I have blogged about this before as I can't seem to find the post that I thought I'd written years ago.
Never mind.
It's about the first flat I lived in when I first moved to Manchester and England.
It all went very fast when me and Ads decided that I should move over.
And he found a "cheap" flat which was very close to town as he didn't want me to take
the bus to work and things like that.
I didn't know Manchester at all. Had only been here 2 times prior to moving.

So he went and looked at it and he then sent me pictures of it and I thought why not.
It was interesting at first, but we soon realised how small it really was for 2 people.
It was like a box and not much privacy.
Here are some pics that might give you a better idea of what I mean.



That top pic in the left corner is kinda the layout we had.
Although we didn't have a bath tub, we had a shower and "toilet/bathroom" was on the opposite side.
The picture in the right bottom corner shows the "hallway" outside the flats.. It looked like an asylum hahaha.

That kitchen was horrible.. No real oven and the fridge/freezer was the tiniest thing I've ever seen.
The 9 months we lived there were quite interesting :) It wasn't all bad.
I would not recommend 2 people living in there together..

Some random pictures of me and my loved ones.
Some not very old, some really really old.


My favourite hat from last year :)
So cute! Always made me giggle and people stared and they usually smiled too :P 


The one and only time I actually agreed to go to a "Fancy Dress Party" and dress up.
Did not enjoy it one bit! Ay Ay Captain ;)


My footprint at Rhyl beach last year. Had such a lovely time with Ads x
(I have huge feet!)


Mini me at our old house in Bosnia.. I must have been about 2? Maybe 3?
We had a birds nest under the roof and I played with the baby birdies :)
Where did that golden hair go? Hehe.


Me and Ads flying back to Vegas in a uber mini airplane from Grand Canyon :)
Wonderful day.


One of my favourite pictures of me and my mamma ♥
I think I was about 19? If that :/ Looked so young, pretty and worry free...
Oh to go back to those wrinkle free and thin days haha :X


And my favourite picture of me. I don't know why, but I love this picture.
I felt really beautiful that night and I think I was :X
Wish I could do that to my hair on my own! Might have to invest in a curler..



Things I dislike about England

The fact that they still have boilers!! I've never had a bloody boiler back in Sweden.
That's something they got in Bosnia! And even there it's not used as much!

Worst thing is when you are doing the dishes and you have half of it left and you realise that the water has gone from scorching hot to cold as ice.
And you wonder what the heck is going on.
You glance at the boiler and then you realise!
The gas has run out! It gets even worse when you can't find the stupid card
that you use to "fill it up??"..

Second worst thing is that I've marinated the chicken for our dinner and I can't start cooking..
Why??
Because the oven is a GAS oven!!!
Doh!!!

It makes me miss Sweden and having everything run by electricity..
I feel like I'm stuck in the past when they did not have gas or electricity..
At least they had an open fire or something!

Ok, rant over :) Haha, I'm hungry and can't start cooking till Ads tells me where that bloody card is!
He just told me he has it.. And he isn't here!!


Me earlier. Half left now haha. (Not exactly)

Think I would enjoy doing the dishes if I had a pair of these fancy washing gloves :P
Wouldn't you?





Some things to look forward to

¤ H&M is finally launching an English online store! (September)

¤ Leaving do on Saturday for a guy in my new job, we will miss him loads, but I am
so happy for him. He is moving to London to be with his partner. Awww!

¤ Hen party next Saturday and the first time I'll be going to Birdcage.
(It will be rather interesting I think)



¤ 4th of September a lovely girl in work is celebrating her B-day and I can't miss that!

(Quite happy I've decided not to drink again for a few months haha as I really can't stand being hungover when
I go hiking)

¤ A wedding sometime in September.

(Realising I need to check my wardrobe and see if I can invest in some new clothes?)

¤ My b-day.. I don't really want to think about it. I'm getting old haha.

¤ Maybe some good news that I've been waiting for..

¤ I will be going somewhere very nice in 6 weeks. (More details later on)

So I guess I do have some things in my life to look forward to and to make me feel a bit happier about.
Just need to focus on those and not let the negative thoughts take over.

Being me

Can't believe I'm in the same situation again.
People think I'm crazy, too picky maybe even too demanding..
But I disagree. I just KNOW what I want and won't settle for less.

Have listened to others for far too long. I am doing what I want from now on.

Not letting people put me down.

I made a decision and it feels so good. So right.
Sometimes you just have to take the leap.. And believe. In yourself.

I believe in me.



Breaking free ;)

My crazy Italians :D I have found 2 new soulmates in these 2 girls.
They are so lovely and as crazy as me! :P ♥
This was 2 weeks ago when we were out with some other crazy Italians and a Spaniard :)



Same night :P

Mamma and Adelina ♥



Love this pic. I was so happy this day :) In Disneyland/Anaheim last summer.


My bath tub in MGM Grand/Las Vegas. First time we went. I loved it!
I had 2 baths a day! Haha :X 

Random thoughts

Ok, I got so much I want to blog about, but not had a chance..
A lot of stress at the moment.. I know I should be "happy" at the moment.
I got a new job.. And things are finally looking better for us..
But.. There are still some things that bug me...
And sometimes my old enemy D comes back and haunts me..

I'm currently waiting to hear back from something that could be a dream come true....
And I've waited since last Friday.. I am very impatient! I know I keep saying it...
But people, you have no idea how impatient I am.. So I'm kinda all over the place and
can't seem to calm down. Not till I get an answer. Even if it's a negative one..

Till then I probably won't blog as I usually do. Just some random pics and maybe the odd post.

I do have loads that I want to share with you when my head is all clear and I've got the answer :)
Hope you (even if it's only 1 or 2 readers hehe) will still be here then ;)

Random pics of the day are:



Metallica last February here in Manchester :D It was my first time. 
I hope I can see them again. I loved every minute of it. 
(Ads didn't haha bless him)



Haha, this is a horrible picture :X I should be ashamed!
It was when we were out on a hen party last year. 
I love the hat :P  

Randomz 3

This is my all time favourite picture of me.. I don't know why, but I love it.
It was taken one night about 2-3 years ago at a friends place.
We had a girls night in, here in Manchester and we put make up on and did each others hair.
And this is what I looked like. I love how my hair looked like in curls. I wish I could do it myself!
And I loved the make up too :D


I'll be back soon



(Pic from google)

The picture says it all..

Sober

I've decided not to drink for 3 months.
Why? There was not one real reason, but a few.
I think it will do me good. I am trying to be more healthy in life
at the moment. And drinking has been a way for me to "forget" about things.
I'm not an alcoholic. But I feel I'll be happier if I stop.
My last day of alcohol was New Years Eve.
I've not missed it at all. So far.
I think it will be worse when I go out and people around me drink.
I might feel an urge, but I know I don't need alcohol to have fun :)
I'm crazy without it ;)

It's quite interesting when people I know hear that I've stopped drinking.
Most people ask me "why". Only a few say "good on you".
Some say "but you wont have fun when you go out"?

Who says you have to be drunk to have fun? I don't get that.
I used to drink because I liked it. I liked the taste of the drinks I used to have.
But I didn't like the way it made me feel at times. 
Sometimes I woke up next day thinking "what happened last night"?
That's a scary thought.

You don't have to drink to have fun :)



(In my case it was the wine and vodka. I never drank beer!)

Some people might wonder why I've decided to do it for 3 months.
I just thought of a number and 3 seemed to be a fair amount of time for me to
figure out if I want to stop drinking entirely. Or if I might be one of those people
who can enjoy one glass of wine and be fine with it.
We shall see.

2010

Has begun.

And I've got a bloody cold.
No idea why. So inconvenient :P

My New Years Eve was pretty okey.
Nothing amazing.
We spent the day chilling and preparing a lovely meal.
We had a friend over for dinner and we made home made Mojitos :D

And then we went to Ads' cousins house where I was the guinea pig.
Everyone made cocktails and asked me to try them out.
By 00.00 I was bladdered :P

Have lots of pictures to upload. Some are very bad haha.
So I will keep them for my eyes only :P

I hope you all had a wonderful time and may you have a wonderful 2010.

I've just realised that I have no holidays planned for this year :O
It's so unusual for us.

Nothing really to look forward to this year.
Well apart from the buying house malarky..
Which is looking quite complicated at the moment.
Hopefully it will work out for us and then we can think of holidays after that.

Fingers crossed that we will be going to Florida in September, would be amazing.
Seeing as September is the worst month for me. Always has been.
Hoping to change that!

I also want to start that writing course and get writing on a book.
And I would like a new tattoo.

A very important thing might happen this year.. I can't say too much at the moment.
Don't want to jinx it.. But if that happened then everything else wouldn't matter.


Do you have something to look forward to this new year?

Shakti Mat



This is a Shakti Mat.

I'd call it "kill me now" mat haha.
My mum got me this. I tried it out quite a few times back home.
And I will continue doing it every other night when I'm here.

You are supposed to lay on it for 20-40 mins... But I've only managed 15 mins so far.
Will try and go on it longer tonight.

What is it? 
The Shakti mat is an acupressure mat for back problems, sciatica, tension, stress, stiffness, insomnia and fatigue.

It really hurts when you lay on it the first time. But as soon as you start relaxing and breathing 
the right way it feels a bit easier. Worst part for me is getting off it.
Feels like my whole back gets ripped off haha
Because those thingies are very sharp.

But it does make my poor back feel bit better :) 
And I feel much more relaxed. 

Ads tried it once, but he kept saying "How long is it left" haha.
He did not like it at all.

Would you try it?

 

Nightmares

I have had some bad nightmares lately.
Yesterday I woke up almost screaming out loud because the dream I had
felt so real. I have always had bad dreams. As long as I can remember..

Especially back home in my old room.. The dreams get so vivid and feel so real..
I got less than 6 hours sleep yesterday. And we had to be at the airport for 9am.
We get delayed on our way from Stockholm. And then we were hovering above Liverpool
for about 40 mins till they told us we could not land because of fog!!
Bloody fog.. We had to land at East Midlands. That's in Nottingham.

Waited for a coach for almost 2 hours. It drove us to Liverpool airport and
Ads' uncle picked us up. We came home 6 hours later than we should have.

Why does it always happen to us? Is it a sign that we should stop travelling???!
Well that wont happen. I love travelling! I just wish we werent so jinxed.

Oh well. Back in work now.. Back in Manchester.

I miss my family already. I don't know when we will be going back next.
Alot of things need to be sorted in 2010.. We shall see..

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are getting ready for the New Year :)

Winter wonderland

That´s where we are!!!
I´m home now! In Stockholm. At my mums :D
Snow everywhere! I will take a picture shortly and post it on here.
Will write more later or tomorrow. Bit tired now.

Hope you are all well :)
