Paris in October

Woh, such a long time since the last update.
I haven't even been up to anything.

But, Paris (where I went a month ago), was amazing and everything I expected and more. But then again my expectations was probably not as high / romantic as usual..

I'm quite proud over us, we only took the metro once! And that was to get to the shuttle bus to the airport. We walked all over Paris, for hours and hours and hours on end, and saw so many strange little alleys and shops and people eating baguettes..

Here's some pictures with text!

I was happily surprised over all the amazing graffiti! This was on the ground.

Monseuir Penguin!

No filter or anything, in a nice park somewhere behind the Louvre I believe.

Suddenly along our stroll Notre Dame appeared!

More fun wall art.

Even more! Bad quality, but it was really amazing!

Okay, so I mainly took pictures of street art.

"OMG a place with my name!!"

"OMG what a strange name for a bar!"

Conclusion of the trip was that I neeeeeed to go back! Even the cheapest café au lait was amazing. And so were the people! Nice bunch, them french.

Forest day

 Today, me and my roomies took our bikes and biked for a total of 10km's, out to the forest! This is from when we we're waiting for their friends, standing in the middle of nowhere(but they had bike paths!).

 So.. much... moss..And under the moss, puddles, and more puddles. My socks were dripping when we got home.

 Too busy taking pictures, so I kept falling behind.

And the reason for it, chanterelles! We swede's be crazy, biking for 10kms, trekking in the forest, getting our shoes wet and battling mosquitos. But we got 10litres all together!

Gothenburgh O'Hoy

So, last Wednesday I hopped on the train with my friend Gabi to go to Gothenburg, for a chance to spend some time with our friend Zara before she goes off to Korea!
It was my first time in Gothenburg, and man oh man, the city! I really really enjoyed it there, and it was in overall just so.. pleasing to the eye. I'm an architecture geek, so all the beautiful houses just pulled my heart strings.

We went to an island a bit outside of Gothenburg, Marstrand, visited Liseberg(a theme park) and Universeum(zoo/museum/thingy) and walked and walked and walked around the city.

Wedding bells

So, yesterday was the second reason why I visited mom, some friends to the family got married! I don't do well in these kind of social situations, but it was rather nice, and I borrowed my cousins DSLR to take some photos for the bride and groom, thus taking on the roll as "photographer" rather than guest, and got to be left quite alone(because people hate cameras haha).
But I don't mean to sound negative, I was really happy to be invited, and we got delicious food and it was really wonderful seeing them beam together.

What I wore for the occassion! Quite blurry but I was in kind of a hurry.

/Rhyme master

 Wedding cake! Woop woop, there were five of them, ranging from big to small. 

They looked better than they tasted, haha.

 

Out of respect I don't wanna publish any face pictures, but man, look at the brides hair! 

Fo reals! I don't care much for strange bridal updos(they tend to look rather tight), so thiis, thiis, so much thiis. I'm so jealous of her hair it's unbelievable! It's all her own hair, too! 

Disregard my excellent editing skillz.

 

One of the most beautiful bouquets I've seen to date!

The groom kept joking about how he had to insert the diamonds in the leeks when he planted them four years ago, and patiently wait for them to bloom. All without his wifes knowledge! Haha

Recent snaps

Uh, long time no update! I got a cluster of different personal problems, ranging from disappointments to medical emergencies(nothing too serious), so I've been on bed rest / just not really up to anything lately. I'm still feeling rather shitty, and I just caught a cold to top it off, haha. Why do bad things always come in clusters?

In the meantime here are some snaps from the last two weeks. I hope I'll be back on the horse soon.

My mother came down to care for me, and I got this bag as a get well present! And for Midsummer I tried to gussy up.

For entertainment I've read lula and crocheted roses.

Snap from my desk, and my best friend Gerard! //dork

Time for change

This weekend I visited my dad, and also finally had a chance to meet some of my relatives on his side! Most of them I hadn't seen for 4 years or more. One of my cousins was a baby last time I saw her, and now she was 6, and completely hyperactive.

Anyway, I don't know if I've really said anything about it, but I'm moving back to Uppsala!
It'll be nice to be out of the forest, haha! Being able to do stuff, meet people! Being able to text a friend and see if they wanna go out and take a coffee later that day, and not having to travel for 10 hours..

In honor of my second movingawayfrom home day, I'll post some pictures of my current room.  Or well, details of it.

 My Angel's Tears! I love this plant so much, everytime I look at it I wish I was 5cms tall and  able to live in it.

 My pins and brooches! The box itself isn't so visible, but it's a souvenir from Gran Canaria or something that I got when I was 6, from some friends of my mother. It's covered in shells!

 Shirts I hardly ever wear but refuse to get rid off.

 Mirror, part of my bag hanger, some hair accessories. And yes, my mirror is indeed wearing an apron.

 Skirts and dresses! I don't really know why I let some skirts hang on hangers and some be folded, but, oh well.

And that was that. I'll try and get my things in order this week. Moving is always troublesome, but I don't really wanna bring much, so it'll be even harder trying to sort out what to bring and what not to.

Dat picture post

In Uppsala now for the first time since NYE, I really like this town...
Strangely enough I will not celebrate walpurgis night in Uppsala(which is officially/unofficially dubbed the place to be at that time haha), but instead go to Stockholm.. Well, that'll be fun too!
And I'll return to Uppsala later this month anyway!

Uh, well! Pictures from the last couple of weeks coming up!

1) my friend surprised me with a super filled Easter egg which he continuously refilled in secret making me think I had gotten a *~magic~* egg, haha. 2) random bathroom shot. 3) collars 4) souvenir my friend and his sister got for me in London 5) awesome pin I found at a second hand shop!

Forever21

For my birthday I got some things from f21 from my mum, and it's only know I realise the irony, haha.
I'm really happy that they opened up for the European market! They really grew on me during my stay in Japan, and how couldn't it, it's cheap and cute!

And a random shot of the top part of my desk(that my dad did himself!), because I thought it was (rather) tidy and nice for once!

Northern lights!

Thanks to the solar storm the other day, we had some Northern Lights!
I was surprised to be able to photograph it with my digicam! 
They did of course not turn out as great as the ones you usually see, but, anyway, I'm happy with them!

One of the few nice things about living in Sweden is the possibility to see this, haha.
Did you know that if you whistle during northern lights, it becomes more intense?
It's not scientifically proven though, pretty much nothing about it is, except for "Hey, they're like, moving and stuff".

Out and about

Been traveling a bit lately, the first step being Uppsala. A dear friend turned twenty!

I don't really know when I'll go back north, tho..

Picture time !
New fancy dress(you know a dress is fancy when even the motif is dressed up), cake, pretending to be a teenager for a while, and norrkoping.
