The evening is def my favorite moment of the day. Its first when ive had dinner and taken a shower that i can truly relax. Diring the day it feels like theres so much pressure to do stuff whether its job or studies or arrends. If u dont do anything special during the day ( unless its a sunday) ur considered a bad person. Unfortunately theres so much judgemental things going on, coming from here and there instead of just being happy for that person. But its a different thing during the evening. Becus during the evening theres no pressure becus u have already done ( or not) something ( hopefully useful) during the day.
It has become a habit of mine ( a very good one i have to admit, dont understand why i didnt do it all the other years when i lived abroad) to take a shower either before or after dinner. I always put on some good music, sing in the shower and put on something comfy. And then after dinner i go upstairs ( where i have my bedroom) and go straight to my wonderful couch, take my pillow and quilt and put it on my couch and lay down with some more good music and just relax. Breath in. Breath out. And just enjoy the moment of solitude. Take in all the thousands of impressions of the day and just let them go in through one ear and out through the other ear. And then i put on the tv and watch some of my favorite shows and usually laugh alot. Doing this releases all the daily pressure and i can just relax. Finally relax.

the nature in sthlm is so beautiful. the colors are so much stronger and brighter on the leafs (which is according to my dear mum because the nights are so much colder there so its due to the frost on the leafs...who knew btw?) and even the vegetation is different upp there...i keep forgetting that...that prob becus everything is flat here in Skåne. and the rest of sweden has a different kind of vegetation where the ground is totally different from the one here. so it always stuns me when im there walking aorund and suddenly theres a small hill in front of me made of rocks. out of the blue. just like that. and theres water everywhere. and i mean everywhere. i keep forgetting about that too. sure we have water here, Skåne is  aquite small region after all, we have lakes and stuff and we havw the sea and yes i do prefer the sea on the west coast;P it def rules big time. but they have sooo much water everywhere and so many islands...its really cool. so i love just walking around in sthlm becus theres so much to see

this is one our way to skinnarviksberget. on Södern. beautiful view of sthlm!

my beautiful and dear friend Anna whom i visited

i love taking pictures of Anna becus she always looks good on pictures. shes a true fotogenic.and she always has this huge smileon her face which i looove

the ppl that ive showed this picture to say that we could be sisters in this pic becus we look so much alike...

the beautiful leafs...

will come more pictures soon=)

gonna make myself some lunch now and then get ready to do my research for school.

ciao

Its getting really cold here, quelle surprise right. But its just a really good excuse to wear comfortable and beautiful clothes, maybe a big woolen scarf matching with a woolen hat of some kind and with a matching lipstick and then there u go..then ur ready to hit the down.
Something that im really looking forward to is all the cristmast ornaments that are gonna be shown around the city quite soon-) ive already mentioned that im a huuuge fan of xmas and just the fact that i can for the first time in like ages celebrate xmas at home with my friends and my family is huge for me. Its something that i find hard to grab the concept of. And the good thing about november and xmas is that even tho cmas is in dec it already starts in nov. U know with all the ornaments and xmas "fika"( coffee time) and all that.
And one more thing that i really like about winter is the clear blue sky and the crisp air. Its not always like that but those days are the best ones.
And it also gives opportunity to do all that u deep inside wanted to do all year, staying inside in the warmth, Cozying it up with a warm blanket, lit couple of candle lights, watch a good movie, have a laugh with a friend, drinking way too much coffee for ur own good to keep u warm, go to the movies, finally have an excuse to go to bed early since its so dark anyway, going for long walks with way too much clothes on. The list can go on and on.
Another thing that i really like about the fall and the winter is taking photos of all the beautiful leafs. They are just so beautiful with all the bright colors. And there so many of them too. Its like a never ending photo shoot..
I thought i wouldnt last a day here in sweden during wintertime ( ok so the winter has just started but still), but i must admit that i dont mind the weather. Becus, really, if u think about it, its all a state of mind. If u decide to be happy and appreciate the small things in life, like a phone call with a friend, cuddling, being with ur dogs, laughing at a comedy show on tv or whatever it is that makes u laugh, then u have come a long way. then its not so bad. Ok the weather in sweden is not the most reliable in the world and yes we could have a bit more sunny days, who wouldnt want that? But except that...its all a state of mind. If u decide to be happy then the rest will solve it self..

Have a beautiful winterday.

Btw, i got my hair cut and high lighted yday and it feels sooo good. Finally my hair is blond again ( the roots i mean). And its light to..i mean it doesnt weight much. Wihoooo. My hair dresser is a Genius. A true genius. I truly adore him. And his magical hands-)

Today i wanna ut the emphesize the importance of being positive. Wow, that sounded very serious and adult lol, but in this case im serious. With the storm sandy and being winter and everything i believe more and more in the importance of sticking to positive thinking! Of course it really helps when its sunny like its today.-) theres just something magical about the sun and the effect it has on you.. Ot spreads calmness and it sooths u and ur soal, its like all of ur worriness just disapears. I love the sun! Well who doesnt-)
I read positive outlooks quite frequently ( u should check it out, either google it or "Like" their website on facebook.) They have really good and true quotes about true happiness and self worth. And today i read one on letting go of ones past negative emotions and give kindness instead and that its important to do so in order to live the life ur soal is ment to live. One author whos really wise ( and who wrote this about letting go) is called Dodinsky, really wise man!

Today i have an hair appointment. Wihooo. I love going to my hair dresser's. Ive been going to him for many years now on and off, forst time i think was at the age of 14 or 15. And i update him on my life and he updates me on his life. Hes such a sweetheart. Hes originally from Libanon, but moved to Sweden when he was a teenager. He adores me which is always nice haha so we usualy have a good talk about life and stuff. And my hair is in a Desperate need of make-over. Well my nails too actually but that i can do ny myself. Unless someone feels like giving me a free pedicure and manicure? Anyone? No? Jeje, i can do that myself lol.

So i was getting out of the subjectö positive thinking. Right. Ppl tend to ony focus on the bad things in their life and focus on their problems ehich menas they will attract more negative circumstances but if we focus more on what we actually have ( i do that as often as I can) and be truly grateful for that and focus on being a magnet to the solution instead we could have a pretty amazing life, or more amazing life than we already have. And plus it makes u feel good about either urself and/or ur life and thats pretty good way tostart a day.

Wish u all a beautiful tuesday!

Who knew being kinda sick could be so nice? I just did my first "tenta" of the semester ( test) and to celebrate that i passed by a cafe "Gateau" that is just 5 min away from my school. They make delicious coffee and cakes. So i decided to get something hot to drink, partly becus of my huge cold that is going through my body and partly to celebrate that i just did my very first test of the semester. Not that i know if it went well or not, but thats besides the point. Theres always something to celebrate! Its like the Spanish ppl, as soon as they have public day, they call it a party day, dia festivo and why not celebrate that u have a day off? Really, when u think of it, why not ceöebrate as much as u can.? It doesnt matter if its a small thing or not. If it makes u happy, why he hell kt celebrate it?
Anyway, im getting of the topic here-) so i went to the cafe and decided to NOT take a cappuccino for a change, can u imagine that? I chose a hot chocolate instead hehe. And a bun. It was goood. Not the best hot chocolate ive had but it was ok. It was hot, it was sweet..thats good enough for me.

Now im laying in my couch, listening to music and " watching" tv.... With my quilt on hehe. So to get to my point, it actually feels quite ok to have this huge cold becus ive studied, ive done my exam and now i can just rest my body for the rest of the day.
Sometimes i wish i would live in US ( n.y) becus then i could just call and order takeaway for lunch. Herenin sweden, ot does exist but not in the same scale, they only do it for more than 2 ppl, ot just for one person so...althou it would be kinda awsome if i could just order something and get it here within the next 20 min or so so i wouldnt have to make my own lunch....hmmm..jeje, its not the end of the world i guess. Ill just make something simple.

Wish you all a beautiful wemsday.

Its been a shity day today when it comes to the weather here in Stockholm, its poured down almost all day long but sometimes it doesnt really matter what kinda weather it is becus if u have sunshine in ur mind then thats the only thing that matters and that is what I have. We got out of my friends place way later than planned today and it woldnt sop raining but i didnt mind becus the nature is beautiful in any kind of weather. We went to Djurgår'n, one of the big islands. We took the fairy, and we were probably two of the very few swedish ppl onbord. Its only crazy pp, eho chose to take the fairy in this shity weather. So it was us, maybe one or two other swedish couples and foreigners on the fairy...but we had alot of fun anyway, we took many pictures of ourselves instead.
Then we went to probablu one of the coolest museums in the world, the "spritmuseet", the museum of liquour. So damn cool! Had no idea ppl could make that kind of crazy art with just Absolut bottles as the only main inspiration...
Afterwards we went to this adorable looking cafe, called flickorna Helin Voltaire. Really cute!
And then we had to go back home...back to the rain and the umbrellas and the wet shoes..jeje, they ll dry eventually. Its just water anyway. Now we re breathing for a send or two until we have to get ready to hit the town. Its dinner at Berns tonite, supposed to be great! And another good friend of mine, who lives here in Sthlm aswell, is joining us for dinner. Wihooo.

See ya later.

The picture comes from a friend of mine who sent it to me yday. Its very true. We actually rarely regret things that we did becus at that time we did it for a reason..

Im now sitting on the train doing everything that im not supposed to do. Blogging, facebooking, talking on the phone u name it. I thought at first that this would be a great opportunity to do some studying. But that went of course out of the window...jeje. Cest la vie-) its actually really nice going by train. Havent done it in ages. Its quite cozy. Its easy to focus on just doing whatever u feel like doing whether its reading a book or going online or blogging or do some studying ( erhmmmmm). And u go straight to the central station instead of having to use transport to and from the airport etc.
Im so excited about this trip. I dont really care about what we do, as long as i get to hang with my friend/s and see my sister and her kids and hopefully her husband as well. Ive obviously been to sthlm before so i dont really need to do the tourist stuff, althou, if there is something that i havent seen then maybe its worth seeing...i got some advice from my " kursare" a classmate of mine whos from sthlm so im gonna go there and check them out.
I really like sthlm, its so beautiful and the city has really cool cafes and bars and restaurants and obviously much more to offer than little malmö. -) ive heard its gonna rain all week end but i dint really care. Well of course i would prefer sunshine but its the company of my friends and family that counts so...

Wish you a beautiful week end!
