Here's an update at resedagboken as usual (swedish)

(link to japanese site) <-- there it is

I LOVE IT ♥♥♥ (and yes, it is pink stfukthnks)




More can be seen in resedagboken

I had to go through a looot before being able to buy this >.< otherwise I would've bought one long ago... thing is, you sort of have to be 20 to buy a cellphone here, but the school didn't know that! They told me you could get a phone when you're 12, and they barely believed me when I said the stores told be I have to be 20.. I dunno... anyway, I also had to wait for my stupid alien registration card that I wont get until november 1st, but I HATE not having a phone, so I wanted to get one now.. but I've been to several stores, and despite complications with communication, I managed to find out what I needed, I had to get some paper that allowed me to buy a phone, and the nice girl in the shop let me sign under for my mother myself :P otherwise I would've had to mail the form to her in Sweden to fill in, so she could send it back to me in Japan. HELL NO! But now it's done, and now everyone else can get phones too 'cos now we know how to do it ^^ Mirre and Thérèse'll prolly buy theirs today.
Oh and btw, I LOVE IT!
[end of cellphone-rant]

I also bought a lot of bento stuff a while ago, even if I haven't had the time/need to make a lot of bento :/
but bento stuff is ♥

OMFGGGG I found out that Peaches plays here at october 28th (!!!!11) at this club Unit, and I HAVE to see her 'cos I missed her when she was in Stockholm in august TToTT I hope I can get tickets and I hope I'll get in (fuck why am I only 19 crapassfuck!)


(btw, right now I'm eating dark bread ♥)

new update at resedagboken

I just watched Lost In Translation for the second time in my life. The first time was when it was still running the theaters. It was quite a difference this time. :D

good night~

I've been a good girl writing a lot in my swedish journal, but that's actually because I'm writing a diary on the computer to myself, so it makes it easy to update Resedagboken because it's basically just copying and pasting and changing the most intimate parts :P

I'm loving it here, and I love the thought of staying here for a year! It's very exciting, and right now I wanna concentrate on learning a lot. I'm not happy about how much I suck at communicating in japanese :/ but I'm not a language-person, and I have to accept that. I studied french in school for five years, but I was terrible, so I guess that except for swedish and english, I don't understand foreign language easily. That just means I'll have to study more and try harder :P

My room is getting cozier, and that good, because now we've bought cards to the subway for six months. That card is bound for this station (Shin-takashimadaira) so it wasn't an easy decision when buying it. We're saving money on it, but we have to stay here.

Something I don't get is how the hell to understand the TV :/ for instance, weI wanna watch Utawara on Nihon TV, and on the homepage it says sundays from 07:58 PM to 08:54 PM, but there was no Utawara! And with Music station a few days ago, it started like an hour later than the homepage said. I don't get it! Anyone who can explain?

Here are pictures, but I'm putting the latest up here too :) from IKEA, drunkard karaoke and crêpes in Harajuku!


Smaklig måltid!

I'm so glad it's weekend! I wanna explore Tokyo clubs :D

night lovelys <3

sorry sorry solly for not updating
how did I think that I could keep up TWO diaries, on in swedish and one in english, when I can barely keep ONE up -.-;;;

anyway, I don't have the energy to write in english right now, but I'm fine :) I love this life so far
heres a long update in swedish on resedagboken and three pictures:

click meee!!!!

but it's reaaally bad, I actually wrote it for mysel and then modified it a little, but it's something...
more will come tomorrow, especially more photos.
goodnight <3

Bai bai~~

Mirre, Thérèse and me on our soubetsukai a week ago.
We are sort of having a welcome-speech or something.
Haha, it looks like I'm crying XD;; but I'm definitely not. I was probably sleeping (yes I was drunk)
I snatched this from Emilias blog, but I will upload more pictures later when I get them.


In 24 hours from now, I'll be on a plane on my way to Tokyo.. or I'll be waiting at Heathrow airport (London) because we will be making a stopover there before heading for the right direction XP;;

Got so many things to do

I also got so much things I wanna write about, and tons of pictures to upload

but no time.

It feels so weird saying goodbye to everyone. The last days I've been seeing different people everyday (even though I don't have the time for it, but I prioritize my friends before sleep) and even though I'm gonna miss them like hell, I've been feeling so happy. I really really wanna go away now, I'm sick of being here.

The situation with my "boyfriend" or whatever he is/was (doesn't matter) is great btw. This wednesday we talked about us for the first time since we started out in like.. february XP;; and, just as I thought, he's completely cool with the relationship we have/had (very loose and not so relationshippy kthnx, we just hang out and having fun)... but others have been interfering as fuck, worrying that I might be hurting him because I don't wanna live in celibacy for a whole year. But we talked, not much but enough :P and it's nice to actually know were on the same level, and not only feel it. I'm not crazily in love with him, but I care about him and don't want him to be hurt.

I also got the address for the residence XDDDDD OMGYAY! So I googled it found it here, and even though it looks a but shabby, I'm very pleased. It's pretty cheap, only 20 minutes away from school and OH THE JOY we have refrigerators and mini-kitchens in each rooms!!! I did NOT expect that. Hmm, I wonder if I will buy a hello kitty rice cooker ^____^ <3 oh I can't wait to start decorating and furnishing and making myself at home.

it still doesn't feel real though
*smacks head* get.it.in.your.head.you're.going.to.fucking.tokyo.for.a.fucking.YEAR.

see you~

ahahahaha I have a fat lip ♥

friday:
Worked from 08:45-16:00 (my last day in telemarketing for at least a year !!) then straight to hairdresser, then straight home to dad's place for crêpes-night with his french lodger, then straight home to Sofia and Mirre to chill out and watch Boogie Nights for a while and then finally home to sleep.

saturday:
Preparing farewell party all day and having a kick-ass farewell party at night. Got home at 07:00 AM.

sunday:
Being hung-over and cleaning all day because mum wanted to. Fika with Thérèse and Vanessa in the evening.

today:
Morning-walk with Thérèse. Then I did some planning and stuff, then shopped lika mad for japan, mostly computer-related things. Laptop-bag, recordable DVDs, USB-memory, adapter, netgear wireless adapter PC card for laptop, Locoroco for psp (!!) and so on,. then I went to the Japanese embassy to get my visae Then I fixed with my bank-account, then I fixed and payed my insurance, and I've been looking through and fixing with my room, which I'll have to pack soon.
  And now I'm gonna see Paolo and Kim for a quickie at Wollmars, for old times sake. I need to see someone each day now that I'm going away on saturday.

Come to think of it, this was my last monday in Sweden for a whole year..

Now Paolo called me, so I gotta go!


EDIT (23:40):
Life is good :)
and oh, I'l be posting some pictures of the last days events, though I think that'll have to wait till wednesday, 'cos then I'll be working at Vinnova, and'll have the time to update properly!

goodnight lovelies <3

(I think I did something wrong when posting yesterday, so it didn't show up in the friendlists or something. Anyway here it is.)


So me, schitzo_cookie and chou_kawaii were goofing around as usual, and took some pictures of ourselves jap-style. Guess what I dressed up like ^-^/







Yesterday was fuun ^^ we took it easy and stayed for a while at Wollmars, and it was just as good because the queue at Baba is always long as fuck anyway. I met a few guys from high school there, pretty surprising and fun, and also an old friend from ninth grade (she got really nostalgic and almost teary). Amazing how you always end up meeting old friends when you go to Baba or Soundclash etc..


OMG I rabu The Knifes new video like a pen, go watch it right now on their website!!
I'm thinking psycho old-school children's programme, I like the graphics a lot.

Would you eat these:



Nope me neither, but I don't like throwing away fruit..

----------------------------

Lately, I've been working and planning a lot.. our farewellparty is this saturday (omg soubetsukai!), and quite a lotta people are coming. First we'll have a potluck supper (knytis!) with family and close friends, and later our other friends are coming. We've invited our old classes from high school too, so it will be sort of a reunion as well ^-^ yay!

Tonight we're celebrating schitzo_cookie's cousin who turned 18! So we and chou_kawaii (and maybe Vanessa and Katrin WOOHOO) are going out to dance. I'm at work right now, so it'll be straight to Wollmars to pre-party and soon after that we're going to a club, Babasonic... it's been a while since I've been there. I wonder if it'll have changed as much as soundclash (the place we went when my cell got stolen) 'cos it was much less indie-people then, and a bigger range of styles. The music was still the same though, that's what matters to me. IMO there's not many places in Stockholm that play good music, so places like Soundclash and Baba may be trashy, but at least they play enjoyable easy-danceable pop. anyway..
gah, it's gonna be stressyyy, I'll have to hurry to Wollmars and HEAVE beer, but it'll be fun ^^ .. wtf I like heaving~

baaai~

I'm at work and I'm bored, but I'm keeping my mood up by the fact that I know cute boys who like to huggle other cute boys. Here:




aah, I sure hope I can find a substitute for them when I begin my new life in 11 days (zomg)

Great, GREAT, the alliance wins, and Stockholm is all Silent Hill today.

I'm at work (vinnova) now and took the bike this morning, and there was a thick fog covering the city. Nice omen.

this is so depressing
I'm disappointed in sweden..
not that it was unexpected or anything.

but I'm very glad to be leaving soon.

..

Since food is one of the meanings of life (especially when a bit hung-over, like today), this post will be dedicated to said.

I love stir-fry ♥
Today's lunch was (very) inspired by a post by morainaki</span> in her food journal.



Recipe:
1. Take some noodles of whatever kind you like, and prepare them.
2. Stir-fry with stuff you got at home.

I used rice noodles, garlic, onion, shrimp and thai-wok mix vegetables and fried in sesame oil, then brown sugar, soysauce and salt to taste. YUM, thanks Diana!


I also had home-made kimchi (yes I'm awesome, I make my own kimchi)





For desert I had shiro daifuku that I bough frozen at my local japanese store!




Now I'm gonna go rent a movie with chou_kawaii, bai bai then!

♥

My cell got stolen this saturday when I was out clubbing -.-;; in the chaos at closing-time, I dropped my bag and some stuff fell out.. and some idiot snached my phone! I didn't notice anything, but it can't have been a pro, because a pro would see that it's old and worthless.
I hate being phoneless! Hopefully I'll get a new sim-card tomorrow and I can be myself again.. only with an old nokia :/
I'm getting a new one in Japan anyway.

I just realized I haven't written for some time now..
We've solved the farewell-party issue ^^ thanks to chou_kawaii! Well, thanks do her dad.. s friend.. anyway, he owns a catering firm, and we get to hold the party there for free! I'm looking forward to it so much.. gah, it's much easier to look forward to a party than going to freaking Tokyo, because I still can't realize it. I'm not nervous at all. Something is wrong with me XP you're supposed to be nervous when you're going abroad for a whole year. I have to get it in my head.

Today's gonna be tough... I'm at Vinnova (receptionist-job) now, I got here at 07:45 and I get off at 16:30. After that it's straight to Acta (telemarketing) to work from 16:45-21:00. So I'll work 13 h and 45 min today. They asked yesterday if I could work at Vinnova today because both of the regulars are sick. So I though, wth it's ok to work 12 hours ONE day, just not too often XP
None of these jobs are any physical anyway, but your brain goes porrige if it never gets to rest. I hope I'll still be able to sell at Acta tonight though, there's no point of going of you don't sell. I don't like working for free >.< that's the downside with commission.

I think I'm gonna study some japanese today! Unless that porriges my brain too much... maybe I should just chill... no I wanna study! argh

I really LOVE working at vinnova ^o^ now when there's actually stuff to do. It's very different from when I worked in juli. And now I don't feel as much as a kid anymore, some guy even asked me and schitzo_cookie if we were hired from Manpower or something. Heehee, that was nice to hear ^-^

Anyway, bought new shews yesterday:



I like '20s style ^^ also I needed white shoes, also I got them on sale for 99 SEK. Otherwise I have so much shoes it's ridiculous. I guess I could throw a couple of them away ;) but I'm like a hamster when it comes to everything. That has to change now though, I can't save everything I own now that I'm going away.
I was a bit worried about the shoe-situation in Japan, since I have size 39-40. But _graveflower told me you can find shoes in that size, not everywhere, but it's definitely not impossible, like I assumed at first. Good, I think I would have died if I had to spend a year in Tokyo only LOOKING at all the hot shoes. I'm like Kelly, except good-looking.

First thing's first: HAPPY 19:th BIRTHDAY MIRRE-CHAAAN♥! (that's schitzo_cookie f.y.i.)

I'm at work now but I'll go to her later so me and chou_kawaii can hand over her present... we have another gift actually but she'll get that one tomorrow or the day after o.o;; you'll see why later..


Also, my brother in South Korea (wrote about it here) is doing fine now, he and his girlfriend Lisa has met her biological family and everything went smooth ^^ I'm so happy! 

Yesterday I made nikuman in my new bamboo-steamer! Not the prettiest sight but wth..






this is gonna be good in a bento ^^ yay!

bai~

Okay I actually saw Snakes on a Plane two days ago, but didn't feel like writing about it then so XP stfu
For the moment it's my favorite move EVAh !!
Thinking about how much I've been looking forward to seeing it, I wonder why I didn't go to the premiere.... it would've been hyped as hell ^w^ though maybe a bit annoying because I heard that people were applauding constantly, and that might've become rather trying after a while...
I couldn't stop laughing! Even at scenes where most of the audience went aaaw noo I was like HAAHAA!1 in teh nelson manner.
I dragged Kasper along, he actually hadn't heard about the movie before I told him about it, despite him being an internet-nerd :P he loved it too (how could he NOT)
Funny thing was that a girl at my job was surprised when I talked about it yesterday...
She said "wow, I didn't think anyone else would have seen it! I love snakes, that's why I saw it. I think it was pretty good, although a liiittle bit exessive"
She actually hadn't heard about this movie beforehand, which makes me wonder how the hell she could've enjoyed in that way X3;;; "a little bit excessive" OMGLOL
and yes I am a nerd..


Yesterday I unexpectedly went out to celebrate an old classmate, and it was fun because the people I met aren't those I usually hang out with, but I really like them. And waddya know, we went to Wollmars (^-^;) and after that to Kasper to afterparty... it's becoming a pattern o.o;;;; omg

BTW, speaking of Wollmars, remember this post?! (sorry, only for those on my friendlist) and this picture, on the legendary it?! We speculated about this being the person in Vasakronans reklam ("Dra in magen Britta så jag kommer förbi å fram"), and today, when I showed the picture for my mom, it appeared that "it" actually IS this person! Mom knew exactly who he is, Jan-henry, he's famous in some way apparently, but a complete drunkard now... hokay so the mystery is solved, he's a man, but a transvestite, which could explain our gender-dilemma. Weird.


Tonight I hanged out with Katrin ^^ I've known her since the seventh grade, and I feel good about that. I don't want to loose someone I've known for that long, and I really love Katrin, she's such a wonderful person! But we're not seeing eachother very much these days, and I'm going away soon (28 days asdagg).. it's not like I'm afraid we'll loose contact completely, I don't think that'll happen, but I still wanna stay close. The four of us, Katrin, Vanessa and Thérèse hanged out a lot, and I miss the times when we saw eachother often, like in the beginning of high school. But all of us got lot's of other friends too, and school's been keeping us busy so we sort of slipped away a little. I feel like I've slipped away the most I'm afraid. I'm gonna stay positive though ^^ I really hope that we'll stay good friends for years ahead!


Uwaa, I'm going to bed now, and for your information it's newly-made with newly-washed sheets and it's gonna be wooonderful~♥ *in a happy place*

(PS: here are the other two guys were going to Japan with: http://welcome-japan.blogspot.com/ )
