just came home from my lunch. i was on my way to a really nice café but on the way over there i found another café that ive never seen before...it looked really nice so i went in and i ordered a cappuccino and a bocadillo which turned out be really yummy. i sat very close to the window which i love so i had the opportunity to take some great photos=)

i wonder if its really possible to have this amazing weather as we have here when its only end of february? i know i talk alot about the weather and yes, i sigh deeply when other swedish, all they can talk about is the weather. but i think theres a difference between complaining when its bad weather and poeple dont stop talk about how horrble the weather it is than to talk about beautiful weather=) spain have sooo many sunny days its incredible. now onder they are happy all the time (?). and no wonder so many swedish people are depressed half the year... but anyway, i got off the topic as usual;P. i just wanted to point out that i find the weather here amazing and so soothing. its so calm and tranquillo...(ok tranquillo means calm in spanish i had to emphasize the calmness=)). 

i just had a inspirational moment, it usually includes nice weather, my converses and some kind of equipment where i can stand or sit on... today it was the windows in our livingroom that had to be my equipment=)

but first i have to start with some other pictures=) i have a good harday today. yaaaay. and when i have a good hairday i like to take pictures of that so i , when i have my bad hairdays, can look back and remember that it actually IS possible to have a good hair day=) becus my hair....it tends to live its own life...u might not be able to see that in these pictures since im having a good hair day today but one day its good and curly and beautful and lots of volume and the next day its flat or its nice in the morning and then couple of hours later its greasy or/and flat or just a little volume but not as much as i had hoped for etc...so when i wake up and i realise that my hair is having a good day, i jump high and im really happy for that.

im gonna go out and have some lunch now and then take some more pictures=) wippppii. its too beautiful weather today to stay inside like i usually do...

have a beautiful day everyone! que tengáis un día bonito!

this morning, well due to over sleeping and not having time to wash my greasy hair (my plan was to get up early in the morning and wash my hair but whaaaat to do, whaaat to do;P) i decided that i was gonna start again using scarfs in my, just like i did alot during my 2nd year in Paris when i had the time of my life with my wonderful friends. ive always loved expressing my self trhough fashion and accessories and i like doing it my own way (just like everything else in my life;P). and i remember that i felt so beautiful and cool and stylish in my own way when i used my scarfs in my hair. it was a wonderful feeling. but then somehting happened..lots of things happened in my life and i stopped being creative with my own style, probably becus of lower self esteem. But im starting (for the first time in actually 3 years..) to find my self again (halllleeeeluuuuja) and  find my way back to my own way of being creative with accessories and clothes. and it feels good! and today was def one of those moments actually. (i know i use the word actually very often but i cant help it, i love that word!) so i followed my feeling and decided to do something with it and therefor the scarf in my head today=)

i constantly try to find new ways to decorate my food and how i can make beautiful photos out of it. cometimes it works and sometimes  it doesnt. but now i think i found a style that i like, althou u cant really see it in all the pictures becus i only realised it couple of days ago.;P  ive always liked photos where there is alot of light and according to one of teachers in photojournalism it s becus of my nationality. i come from sweden where theres not much at all. he might be right about my reason why I like to take photos that contain lots of light..but nontheless, whatever reason may lie behind it,photos with lots of light make me very happy and thats something that i want to and try to show in my photos. happiness. joy. love. u name it. 

so from now on im gonna try to developp my "light" in my photos. and here are some of my wanted photos hahaha of my food last week. enjoy!

jag tittade på det senaste avsnittet av go´kväll, där de hade bjudit dit en svensk ganska ung artist, kommer tyvärr inte ihåg vad han heter för jag e inte så inne i svensk ny musik som sagt (lite svårt att hänga med när man har bott utomlands i nu snart 8 år) men han va ganska ung, kanske som mig, 26 år, möjligen nåt år yngre eller nåt år äldre, svårt att säga exakt hur gammal han e, men det hör inte till poängen. iaf så verkar det som att skivbolagen har då bråkat om att få rätten till hans album (eller nåt liknande) vilket i sig e ju underbart, och iaf så när ebba (kleberg von sydow) frågade honom angående detta så svarade han ödmjukt, nja...jag vet inte om de direkt bråkade om mig, de båda ville ha mig men ...."osv....kommer inte ihåg vad han sa sen. hur som helst så sa han det väldigt ödmjukt och det var då det slog mig. att svenskar alltid är så ödmjuka, till skillnad från amerikaner som inte har något emot att säga, ja jo jag e duktig på det, eller ja jag e bra på det, eller ja vi bor i det fina området..eller vad det nu handlar om. och det var då tanken slog mig. varför alltid denna konstanta ödmjukheten? är det så viktigt att ALLTID vara ödmjuk? jag förespråkar inte skrytsamhet, för skrytsamhet pga att man måste hävda sig och glänsa för att man har ett stort ego, det tror jag inte på, men något som jag däremot tror på är att man ska vara stolt över ens framgångar, vare sig man är svensk, amerikan, spanjor eller mongolit. det kan vara framgångar inom ens karriär oavsett vilken karriär man har, eller inom ens inre utveckling, eller att man har klarat av att klättra uppför ett jäklig högt berg eller vad man nu har lyckats med som man kanske inte trodde från början att man skulle klara av att göra. det kan vara något litet eller något stort. storleken spelar ingen roll men man ska vara stolt över och våga säga det! jag tror faktiskt att vi svenskar är inte ödmjuka för att vi inte bryr oss om att framhäva oss utan jag tror att det är av den enkla anledningen att vi helt enkelt är för oroliga för vad folk annars skulle tro och tycka om oss. och om vi HADE varit stolta över våra prestationer/framgångar, vad de nu må vara för några, så hade folk tyckt väldigt illa om oss och tyckt att vi hade vågat vara stolta lite för mycket, att så får man minsann inte vara i sverige, för det går emot jantelagen. man ska inte tro att man är något. screw that säger jag. varför ska man inte få tro det? vem har sagt det eg? ja förutom han som hette jante då, men vem har sagt att man måste följa hans lagar?

jag tror också att vi är ödmjuka för att vi tycker det är väldigt viktigt att vara populära och folkkära bland svenskar. men eg varför e det så viktigt att vara populär? jag menar, min nya idol, Carolina gynning som inte bryr sig ett j*kla skit om vad folk tycker o tänker om henne och inte tvärtemot vad jantelagen säger att man ska vara, hon tycker att hon är något och hon är stolt över det och hon älskar sig själv no matter what och hon bara skrattar åt jantelagen och jag ÄLSKAR det! vi borde ha fler utav henne. ok, inte precis som henne, för det skulle inte vara kul om det hade funnits en exakt kopia av henne, but u get the picture. hon gör allting med sån bravur och härlighet och enormt stort hjärta att man inte kan annat än att totalt avguda och älska denna kvinna. 

så jag tycker vi slänger den där ödmjukheten i väggen, eller varför inte till Kina, och vara stolta över det vi gör och säger. det är faktiskt inte så farligt att vara lite annorlunda, att vara högljudd, att skratta högt, att vara kvinnlig, att visa upp sina kvinnliga former, att ha högklackat även mitt under dan;P eller vara väldigt sminkat också mitt under dan;P och faktiskt, som jag precis sade, vara stolta äver det vi har gjort och kan säga, ja jag e faktiskt stolt över det jag har åstadkommit och säga det med ett leende på läpparna.

basta! ya está!

I went to the beach today to photoshoot my friend who was gonna modell for me and finally barcelona has woken up after being depressed during the winter. before, it has seemed like there only has been tourists here and no barcelona people and the city has been pretty dead...(if you dont count la rambla whch is always filled with tourists). but today there were many people at the beach. not sun tanning obviously;P but many people had brought picnic and a blanket and a pillow etc and they just enjoyed a calm day that it was today. im so happy that barcelona starts to feel like bacelona again. barcelona is not a inter kinda city. its not build to be a winter city. it looses its charm, its´ warmth, its beauty, its...well alomost everything. and yes i know that you would desagree with me saying that, well doesnt every city lose its charm during the winter? not every city. i doubt new york loses its charm during winter time...or any of the big cities. and in sweden you kinda expect it to be cold and u expect to not see the sun for almost 3 or 4 months, becus even when its really cold, you still got heat inside the houses, the houses got insolation...the buildings here in barcelona, they dont have insolation. and its really expensive heating up places...well anyway, my point was that im happy that barcelona is starting to be alive again=)

the photoshoot i had with my friend was so much fun! we started off with a coffee (of course, what else? and then we went behind a hotell called hotell W where they have a platform which s actually quite hidden, i dont think many people know about this place becus u cant see it from the beach and there are no signs indicating this platform. i guess thats the whole point of it..they want to keep it a secret place which i dont mind..

anyway, we had so much fun me and my friend! we did it for 3 hours...we wnet to different places ( i mean, not literally different places like going from one place to another in different areas but i wanted her to have fun so i put her at a bench and then we moved to another place in the same area and we did some posing there and then i put on some music on my ipod so she could have some fun and then we went to the beach and we tried it over there. and then we went further along the beach etc...i took around 200 photos i believe...sometimes, well especially in the beginning, u can take 100 pictures and 1 out of 20 photos will be good photos so thats why i wanted to take many many pictures just to be on the safe side...and try different locations with different backgrounds...

and the funny thing is that me and my friend, w dont actually know each other that well...she added me o fb only a week ago..and i joined her and her friends to a club. but ive never hung out wth her before and this was def the frst time for  us to hang out only the two of us but it was really cool- we had fun and of course that makes it easier to talk about stuff and get to know each other. shes a really cool and kind girl. dont know why i havent hung out with her before...but theres a first for everything;P

after our photoshoot and after realising that the both of us were really tired, no wonder, we had been working for 3 hours without any break..., we said good bye at the metro (she took the metro and i decided to walk home. and i had a coffee at an italian place in el Borne while i looked at my pictures and then i just walked through the center and then eventually home...

these post cards, i foun them, well actually in two different stores in the center and i thought they were sooo cute

so i just had to buy them;P im gonna post them on my wall i think...

här e det vackert väder, igen och jag bara älskar det. solen e stor och ger varma solstrålar. vårt vardagsrum vätter mot en stor bakgård där det finns en lekplats och den e alltid fylld av barnfamiljer och det e så härigt o roligt att höra så mycket ljud från barn. jag blir så glad av det. me pone en buen humor som man skulle säga det på spanska=)

idag så ska jag, trots min förkylning, åka till stranden och göra en mindre photoshooting. det låter elegntare än vad det e. det e bara jag och en svensk tjej som ska modella för mig, det e en gammal klasskamrat (vi gick i samma spanskgrupp februari förra året) och det e då en läxa som jag har i min modeklass. och eftersom det e så fint o härlgt väder så tänkte jag att stranden skulle va ett bra ställe=)först hade jag funderat på andra ställen men sen när jag sg det fina o underbara vädret så var det helt plötsligt bestämt. stranden blir det!

today is a beautiful morning! big sun and its just wonderful and warm weather. my window is faced to a backyard where theres a playground and in the eek ends is always filled with parents with small children playing. i love listening to children when they play and laugh. it makes me happy and it puts me in such a good mood=)

later this afternoon im going to the beach to meet a swedish girl that is gonna modell for me. its an assignment for my fashion course. and what better place is there to do the photoshoot than at the beach a beautiful day like today?=)
