A new flavour

I went to Walmart the other day, and guess what i found in the Christmas section ^^
A new flavour of Toblerone ^^

I haven't open it yet, will probably wait for a few weeks, but as it's a limited edition I'm happy i got one :)

Thursday 29 November 2012

My shoes arrived

This morning i picked up my shoes from the Residence office!
I'm so happy, i cannot describe my feeling ^^
I love that converse provides the service of designing your own designed shoes ^^

What do you think?

애니팡

My latest addiction is the Korean smartphone game 애니팡 - ANIPANG.
I donno why but i cannot stop playing it ^^

I wonder if they will release an English version so my non-Korean speaking friends can join ^^

Christmas is here

My buddy changed its cups to a more Christmas spirit one ^^
It's really cute and i cannot wait until Christmas to be honest ^^

Have a good Thursday everybody! ^^

Too busy

These days are my very last days of school here in Canada!
Also there are lots of things going on making me very busy~

Tonight we went to Walmart as usual! ^^
I will miss it once I'm back home i guess.
Anyway now it's time to sleep!got 3 classes tomorrow!

Tuesday 27 November 2012

Good morning Tuesday

I don't know why I'm this tired, i want to blame last evenings class...
It was not only boring, it was frustrating just sitting there.
Still I'm not sure what i actually learnt from it..

Anyway in order to wake up i went to my buddy Tim Hortons ^^

After this class I'm heading to the gym! ^^

Planning time

It's ONLY Monday, still i have already managed to plan my upcoming weekend! Ironic i know, but that's how it's when you busy!

Friday evening we'll go to the movies. Saturday a bunch of us will have lunch downtown at a Japanese place!
And as for the rest of the weekend, i will STUDY!

Monday 26 November 2012

Final week of class

It feels strange, it feels like it was only a few weeks ago i started my semester here in Canada, but it's almost coming to an end.
I'm not sure if i should be happy or sad...

Still there are lots to do before it's over!

Balance problem

Lately i feel like i have a problem with my balance, it feels like my body isn't moving with me, i don't know why...
Could be because I'm working out a lot, or I'm just tired.
Still i don't feel happy about it~ wonder if i should see a doctor

Sunday 25 November 2012

We are back

My second day in the library...
To my help i bought a VERY LARGE cup of coffee!

I really need to finish my assignment today!

Saturday dinner

After a long day studying in the library we made ddeokbokki and a cake for dinner!

Now movie time ^^

Canadian style

Yesterday i went bowling for the first time here in Canada, and it was totally different from all the other places i have bowled - Sweden, Australia, South Korea.

Here they only have 5 pins and tiny bowling balls!!
Also you need a totally different technique to do it!

The funniest part was when i was holding my phone in the other hand at the same time as i was bowling i made several strikes, spare etc.
When i didn't hold it my balls went in the gutter XD

Saturday 24 November 2012

Studying

As i had yesterday off, i don't have much to argue, today is nothing but a study day...

I've been sitting in the library half the day, trying to improve my essay that's due on Monday!
It kinda works i guess, but with ZERO motivation it doesn't make it easier...

Anyway tonight i will try to watch a movie or two XD

Trouble with the curve

Last night I finally got to see the movie Trouble with the curve, starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake.
It was a great movie, I really loved it. Despite the fact that I have ZERO knowledge about baseball... :P
So if you have a chance, I'd recommend you to watch this movie ^^





Plot (from warnerbros)
Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus—who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat—refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his.

Friday 23 November 2012

Black friday

Happy Black Friday! ^^
In a few min me and some friends are going downtown to check out the sales ^^
Not that i need much but it's worth checking it i guess ^^

Tonight me and another friend are going bowing and to see a movie ^^

Great relaxing day~
As for the rest of the weekend, i will be studying!

Oh well that's not today!

Have a good one everybody!

Not better today!

The weather didn't really get any better!
I don't want to go outside today but i already promised people i would...

Thursday 22 November 2012

Hmmm

So funny how they describe weather here, it says minus 11 but FEELS LIKE MINUS 21!!!!!

What a weather

So i just told you about our snow chaos, i thought it was quite normal for Canada, or Saskatchewan, but i was a little wrong.
I forgot to say that yesterday in the morning and until lunch we had lots of rain, my prof said 10mm.
Anyway looking outside, we went from wet to ice and full of snow!

According to people from here...
If we can we should not go out!

Snow storm

It started last night but it hasn't stopped! It's a snow storm outside!
To be honest I'm so happy i live ON campus these days, otherwise it'd be hell to get here!

This morning my class was quite empty and my prof was late~
People ain't happy about this weather!!
Neither am i! (-_-)

Still much to do

I'm soon about to have my second class of the day, and I'm so sleepy, for some reason i couldn't fall asleep last night.
Anyway i bought myself a cup of coffee hoping it will help me out, we'll see how that goes.

He's back

Seung Gi is one of my fave singers in Asia, his voice is amazing!
I've been waiting for a new album and finally here is a new track from him. It's really sweet~
Cannot wait until his comeback stage!

Today's quote

"I don't understand banks. How they have chains on their pens, I'm trusting them with money so why don't they trust me with pens?"

Wednesday 21 November 2012

Guess what

This is how my desk looks like, a complete mess i know XD
But that's a life of Canadian student, 5 classes, do i need to say more!
Only 10 days left of class and then finals!
And before finals i got 4 bigger assignments to finish off!

My excitement is on top...or?

Fave version

This is my fave live version of this song, guess why?

Of course because Yunho is in it! ^^

KOREA and Sweden

Earlier today i posted a clip when two Koreans spoke in Swedish in a drama series, kinda funny!
Then again Sweden do have a good reputation in Korea, still funny!

However this isn't the first time!

Back in 2003? I think, they used a song by Carola in Swedish as ending theme song in the movie Bad man.

In 2008 in Boys over flowers we had our flower boy Yi-Jung, played by Kim Bum, going there.

In early 2012 in one of the episodes of the drama called Love Rain, starring SNSD Yoona and Jang Geun suk, we could hear the song Vem vet by Lisa Ekdal from the 90's.

Today in the drama Ohlala couple, the character Victoria announced her resignation saying she'd go back to Sweden!

I know there has been much more of Sweden in Korean dramas and movies but this is what i could think of right now! ^^

Broken Swedish

It's not everyday you see this in Korea! It's kinda funny, and i wonder who taught him ^^;;

Bad man

As stated before, it's rare to find solo artists these days in Korea... I mean we all know their industry for groups. Then again YG, wasn't it.. who said it is time for the solo artists to step up!!
Anyway.... a few months ago we could hear the song "illa illa" and Juniel is now back with a new song. I don't like it as much as the previous one but I'd say its pretty good. It's called Bad man and I think it's worth listening too ;)´

She reminds me of a female CN Blue... I'd love for them to be on a stage together ^^

Oh yeah.. she's also releasing her first solo mini album... youtube it and you will find it...




I don't want to go home

I talked about the fact that i ONLY have 2 months left in Canada!
And the more i think about it the more i feel bad!
I don't want to go home to Sweden at all.
I do miss my parents and friends, but that's it, i don't miss Sweden.

I do hate the school system here so i guess that's the only on the plus side of going home...

Oh Canada, i don't want to leave you!

WOHO

Just got back my mid term for my Small Business Management class, and I'm happy.
I had a black out and wanted to throw up when i wrote it.
So i after i left the room i had no idea on what i had written, even if it was in English or not.

Turns out i wrote in English and not too bad, consider the mark i got!

Happy days! ^^

Monday

Yet another week begins, Canada is cold and I'm busy as usual.
At least one of my Canadian classmates could make me smile ^^

Today i have also been to the gym and done my laundry!

Soon it's time for my evening class~
But before that, dinner ^^

The Glades (2010- )

I found this series a couple of years ago, mainly because of the main actor, Matt Passmore.
I loved him in McLeod's daughters and was surprised that he got the main part in a US produced drama series.
What can I say, it's awesome, it's different from other shows, and I love Matt's character! He's so...how to say... too much XD

I'm about to finish season 3 and cannot wait until season 4!!!



Broadcast: A&E, July 11 2010 -

Plot
The show's premise involves a Chicago detective taking a South Florida job with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) after being falsely accused of sleeping with his captain's wife. He assumes it will afford him a more relaxing lifestyle, but he finds things are more complicated than he had imagined.


Cast
Matt Passmore as Det. Jim Longworth
Kiele Sanchez as Callie Cargill
Carlos Gómez as Dr. Carlos Sanchez
Jordan Wall as Daniel Green
Michelle Hurd as Colleen Manus
Uriah Shelton as Jeff Cargill

Sunday 18 November 2012

Pissed off!

I have lots to study, stupid essay and assignments that's due soon..
And as I'm trying to figure out something good to write i get interrupted by my mum asking me about rice i left at home..before leaving for Canada! I guess i was at fault for answering, i shouldn't have and we wouldn't have had a stupid argue!!i should just shut off my phone i guess~ as I don't have time to talk about those kinds of things now.
I need to get done before 5 pm as i decided to watch a movie with a friend tonight! ^^

I need some relaxation~

Christmas is here...kinda

The coffee shops have gone from autumn season to Christmas season.
The other day when i went downtown i stopped by Second Cup and tried their Eggnog latte!

It was better than i thought ^^

Better late than never

I have been busy and totally forgot to update my blog...
Anyway as i usually post photos of food, i realized i forgot to post the ones from the Korean restaurant last Friday..

Me, Shoko and YeJi went there for lunch. It was so good ^^

Lots of work out!

I have spent a lot of time in the gym lately, 3 days in a row for a change...

It feels great yet exhausting!
I guess it's my way to get rid of my stress!

Another dinner

Busy studying during the day and having fun in the evening.
Today me and some friends went downtown and had dinner at a Japanese restaurant~

So delicious and great company ^^

Saturday 17 November 2012

Last nights dinner

Last night i had dinner with one of my Canadian friends, we went across the street and ended up having a Steak!
It was so much food i left half of it!
And best thing, it only cost $12.99

Friday 16 November 2012

Good questions

Lately we have talked about leaving Canada, as the semester is coming close to its end.
And there are lots of things we will miss, but there are things we won't miss!

So far on my Won't miss list are:
The water - tab water taste like chlorine! And it has also gifted me with lots of split ends! My ends looks like a pineapple!

The air - it's so dry! My skin rip apart!!for everything i do i have to use EXTRA EXTRA moisturizing!
Still my skin falls like cat hair fall of a cat! My head is so dry it feels like my scalp is coming off, soon i will be able to see my brain!!

Sugar - I don't get it, but everything seems to contain extra sugar here!!! TAKE IT OUT you don't need it.

Tax - i hate that the prices are stated without tax, here in Saskatchewan we pay two! GST & PST! It totally sucks XD

The stove in our dorm - it feels like something primitive, like an outdoor one, as we need to put a special foil underneath it, and change it every second week. Also because of its weird construction it's uneven!!

Guess the list can go on but this is what i have so far XD

Thursday 15 November 2012

Presentation time

It's show time for our presentation in HRM, So far it has been boring, then these guys came and made a funny song ^^

Wednesday 14 November 2012

Dinner

My and my roomie cooked dinner with what we could find at home ^^
I believe we did good ^^




It's okay


Tuesday 13 November 2012

International week

Today the international week started, today we got free Brazilian coffee and cake.
I got to say, the Brazilian people like sweet stuff!!

Tomorrow is some other country, i cannot really remember which one but i will try it out ^^


I donno...

For four days I have been writing my stupid essays and I donno if they are good or not, actually I only want to pass but then again, if I can get a higher grade why not, each mark I get help me to pass the class.
I'm stuck.... i think i have been reading them back and forth so many times I cannot make a good judgement.

Gaaaah... I don't like the Canadian school system!
I love Canada but not this, not at all!!

Happy B-day x2

Today is a special day...
It's my dad's and my roomie's birthday!!
so...

Happy Fathers day

Today is fathers day in Sweden, and it's the first time ever that i don't celebrate it with my dad!
It feels kinda awkward to be honest XD well well there has to be a first i guess..

Anyway i sent him a box with various sweets from Canada ^^
Tomorrow is his birthday and Tuesday is his name-day!
I wonder if it will last until then ^^

Sunday 11 November 2012

Stupid snow!

i slept 2 hours and woke up and dragged myself in the cold to the bus station to take the bus to Moose Jaw, and it's spa.
However as we reached the station we found out that the bus had broke down and they did not know what would happen.

In the end we went home, after a few stops downtown~
tonight i will eat Korean food, study and be sad as i missed out on a great day of relaxation!



Saturday 10 November 2012

Snowy day

Work out

I didn't make it for my early boot camp this morning, so instead i went to the gym after my morning class.
it felt good, spent an hour there, kept on thinking of everything but study!

The top of my mind these days is filled with IAN THORPE's new book, i really really want it ^^
I got to find a way to get it ^^

Oh well~
Time for lunch

Never get tired of this one!

It's one of their latest tracks, and it's great. I never seem to get enough of WESTLIFE!

Another busy day

The mid terms are over, yet there are lots to do!
I have 4 essays to write until next Wednesday and another one the week after that plus economy spread sheets to finish, and read my books for various classes and home work!

No rest, but I'd need a massage!!

Tuesday 6 November 2012

Finally over

I had my mid term this morning, open book, and 74 questions!
Then again, not easy nor super difficult!

Anyway i needed the whole time to complete it!

what's left? All my project work and papers~
Help me~

Nightmare

This semester i have so much to study and one of my profs just added to it!
i have no idea how to solve the cases, so good luck to me!
i said i won't have a life until Nov 15, guess what, he just changed it to December 18!!!
Reason, he gave us so much until the very end so i won't have any break before my finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the positive thing is that i will travel after all this is done!

Monday 5 November 2012

Enjoy while it last

I want to enjoy myself more, but there are too much to study!

Now i know why students here usually only take THREE classes and not FIVE like i do.
but i have no choice, so far i do feel proud of myself! but Yeah i also pity myself as i don't have time to enjoy the Canadian life as much as the others. Last weekend i spent, in total 18 hours in the library!! its says quite a lot~

Pros and cons~

It feels like it's coming to an end, but i still have 8 weeks left of school.
There are pros and cons with Canada.
And somewhere deep down i wish i could stay for a second semester!!!

But i know it's impossible! and that's the hardest part to accept!!!

Full day

Today i have been spending the whole day in the library!
i had my first meal of the day at 8pm!
Before that i had a bowl of cereals~

it totally SUCKS! all i do is studying!
I'm studying for my midterm, doing home work and writing a feedback for an assignment!

My head is pounding so loud, i just want to fall onto the ground and die!

what's worse is that next weekend will be the same!

Sunday 4 November 2012

I cannot stop!

This song is one of the soundtrack for one of the Korean dramas i follow!
I'm totally addicted to the drama and this specific song!

Saturday 3 November 2012

great start

The snow has covered Regina, I'm not happy but cannot do anything about it.
Anyhow this morning me and my roommate went downtown to have breakfast.
One of my classmates in my Japanese class works at a cafe and said they are famous for their cinnamon rolls, however they only make them on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
And as we are busy on weekdays we decided to go today!

They also had awesome coffee!
we tried some special ones, one with caramel and salt, and one with coconut!

Everything was delicious, and i really got the North American spirit, the cafe style reminded me of a movie ^^



Dilemma

I told you about my presentation earlier this week, and we were given an opportunity to write a journal which could improve our grade!

All of my friends think i should be honest and save my ass, but it a way i do feel insecure as I'm sure how honest i should be!

It's midnight and I'm drinking coffee and write my journal...i wonder if i should just sleep on it..!

Snow, oh no~

Today it started to snow like CRAZY!!
I'm so sad, i don't want snow, not yet!
Also i know why i don't go outside more than once a week! XD

Today i have to go out once again as I'm goin to the movies with a friend!
Luckily we'll go by car! ^^

Awesome evening

Last night we dressed up, same as if we'd go to a job interview, and headed downtown to Delta Hotel where our Business faculty held a dinner.

It was really nice, i was happily surprised and felt so envious that we don't have similar events back home!

First i met with some classmates and talked, the funniest moment was when Jeremy asked me how it want during yesterdays negotiation, i looked at him and answered: Ehm, we were on the same team so you tell me ^^
He looked so embarrassed!! Then again, this was the first time we talked outside the classroom.
before the actual dinner we were also offered some snacks and drinks.

All of us were seated at different tables, My table was so-so, not bad but the companies i had was not in my interest, however the ones who represented them were nice. Also the fellow students were nice!

After the very nice dinner i spoke with some other companies, i met a very nice lady from AON risk solutions. We had a long talk and she asked me for my contact details and said she'd stay in touch. during our conversation she told me they had offices all over the world and that i should come and work for them, she told was sure I'd like it.

Anyway, in all we had a nice evening, i got to talk to many companies and staff of our uni. also eat good food and drink good wine!!

Happy days!

Thursday 1 November 2012

Done!

I'm so happy, the presentation is finally over!
i think we did so-so, we missed out on stuff, which sucked!also it was too bad that the BEST group was first and they did so well...
and it was super hard to get my group together...gah I'm so getting a bad grade for this!better study for my midterm, individual assignment and final for this class!!!!!!!!!

Anyway happy days, now i have 1 journal, 1 essay, 1 survey and 1 midterm to finish off!!!
Busy weekend ahead!

My first and ever

Today i had my first and ever Halloween.
My classmates said i missed out on something good, then again being Christian, Halloween does not really add up...
Anyway today it was more of an experience to see what all the fuzz is about.
So we went to one of the profs house, i dressed up, looked like a cute witch i guess...

we ate pizza, carved a pumpkin and of course we also handed out candy to all children who stopped by, not as many as i though!
Anyway i don't get it, why buy so much candy and just hand it out?
just let the children go to a supermarket and buy it XD
Some children really dressed up, and looked awesome, some just went for the treat i guess...

Anyway now i have experienced it!


Flower Power

Their success in Japan won't stop, seems they do more activities in Japan than Korea these days...
it's a catchy tune!
