Besides from studying this weekend, I helped my mum out with the annual Christmas baking!
Since we both are busy we haven't been able to do anything until now, still much is left to do!
However we managed to bake saffron buns and ginger bread!
I have to say, my mums ginger bread dough is the best!
I'm not kidding... of all gingerbreads I have eaten in my life, nothing can beat hers!!
I wonder what she puts in it, I have helped her out..still can't figure it out!? (^^;;)
As elementary school children says: It's my mums secret spice... her love XD
Will upload some photos later if I have time :)
Only 1,5 weeks left until Christmas! Can't believe it!! It doesn't feel like it, it feels like mid-november to me!
Also 1 week and 1 and 2 days before Naomi and Jase and Hannah arrives from Australia and Kunio-san, Yoko-san, Takako-san and Taeko-san arrives from Japan! :)
As said.. still lots to do!! (^^;;)

What a start!
As I'm not a morning person, waking up at 5am is not a hit. I have been doing so all semester, still my body cannot get over the fact that I have to wake up early.
Anyhow.. When I arrived at Uppsala Centralstation this morning I got a nice surprise, free coffee and cinnamonroll! Could the morning be any better? :)
Despite the rain it feels good, I guess it's the caffeine that talks!
So I wish you all a happy Monday morning!
For me it's soon time for class... however I have NO idea what we'll do! (^^;;)

The world!
As one part of the world are in stress to fix with Christmas and all that comes with it..
Others struggle to just survive.
I know.. I'm on the stressed side.. and I do know there are people who needs help, however I do also know we cannot save all..
It's a shame but true. However what we can do.. is to donate money, instead of buying many Christmas gifts and eat so much until we die, we can send a share to those who are in need...
Food for thought

No Christmas spirit in North Korea
According to BBC news Security was tight when the border Christmas 'tree' was lit last year and now North Korea has warned South Korea of "unexpected consequences" if it lights up a Christmas tree-shaped tower near their tense border.
The tree-shaped, 30 metre-high steel structure on Aegibong hill - around 3km from the border - was illuminated by thousands of small light bulbs last year.
And it could be seen from cities around Kaesong area in the North.
North has previously accused South of using the tree to spread the Christian message to people inside the secular state.
And this is to cause trouble and if they will do the same this year they will take actions of some kind...
I guess all countries does not like Christmas...
Wonder how South will react and what they will do.

EunJeong and JangWoo's camping trip continues.
For dinner they have all from clams, kimchi stew and bulgogi. Mother-in-law praises JW for his cooking skills!
And cheers for the meeting and the future! ^^
The food looked so delicious! EJ gets embarrased by her mothers words...
Later infront of the campfire mother-in-law brought out photos of EJ as little! EJ did ballet as a child however EJ did not like her mum for showing them on tv XD
There were also photos from middle school when she did Taekwondo!!
After eating mashmallows JW took out a present, he played guitar for his women! :)
They ended the date with a romantic walk around the camping area..
As for our other couple, we meet them before SUJU's new concert, Sora prepared gifts in the car!
While she was doing that Leeteuk carried around a paper-out cut of S!! and talked to "her" XD
He said he had prepared a surprise for her!!
L took out his SAX and played!! While L was on stage S went to their dressing room, meeting with Kyuhyun, EunHyuk, DongHae and SungMin.
S said it must be difficult to prepare the show etc, then open up her bag and presented the boys with pressies! which of course made them very surprised!
The gifts were ginsaeng! which is very good for health!
They also talked about the nicknames, saying it was too difficult to use the ones they presented each other on the first date, instead be more causal, using oppa.
Then they joked around what to call S, first Hyungsoo nim which is maybe the most common and usual to use.
In the end they chose number 5 hyungsoo nim XD (number 5 in Korean is.. Oh) so they added an extra long Ooooh XD
L still practised and had no idea that the "real" S was in the building.. anyway he practised hard because he wanted to show her the best on Sunday's performance!
S discussed her problems and the SJ members tried to help her out.. really cute :)
In the end they wrote down S wishes, as give food, slap/hit him, give a massage, give a back-hug.. Instead of S.. the members would carry them out to L (^^;;)
Also after the concert S wanted to do a special medley with the guys infront of L, Sorry sorry, Mr simple and A-cha, she said she wanted to do it since she couldn't make it on the first meeting.
Then Eunhyuk said.. since we have agreed to do this, however there is ONE condition.. we are number 1-4.. so please bring 4 girls for us, actresses! XD Then also saying what kind of girl they wanted. For example: Eunhyun wanted a girl with white skin and big eyes! then DongHae joked and said the same XD S said she'd try her best to please them...
Then S ran off since this meeting was supposed to be a secret from L. And when he came back with the paper version to the dressing room the others got scared and asked why he carried such a thing around!
Then S came back as if she had never been there, which brough L to die.. since he was standing next to the paper version!
They told L & S to hold hands which made them shy so the other members showed how it's supposed to be done XD
S then presented L with a drink... when the other wanted to see it he told them to step back 1-2 meters and not come close as he showed them which brought them to laughter!
Then when L took S hand the others joked about it.. since it looked so mean and stiff!! XD
Alone, finally, S asked why he had the paper version of her... then after talking L left for group reharsal..

Dinner with the relatives!
Today me and dad went to see our relatives for dinner in Stockholm city.
my mums back was hurting alot so she stayed at home.
Anyway I decided to have the fish casserole!
It was really tasty, I love fish.. however the amount was so small! I wondered why I paid so much for it, I kinda regret that I didn't order the wild steak hamburger made with meat from various animals, can't remember which ones.. but a bit more exotic than normal beef.
I had a fun conversation with my cousin!!
Nice evening, soon time to sleep, I'm exhaused!!

Tired to make people happy!
Lately I've been helping people out, since they have asked, Actually I do not have time to do so still I've been kind to do so.
However now I'm getting the blame for doing so? obviously I'm not doing enough!!
I don't know but when I hear that I get fed up and do not feel like I wanna help out anymore, why make people happy.. or try when they always want more?
I think it's becuase of the Christmas season, people are stressed.. but what about doing something YOURSELF!?! (-_-?)

I'm not too sure about the live version and all.. since well.. some of them have trouble singing :S
Also it was quite some time ago since I fell for a SMAP song!!
Gonna look for it more... release Dec 21!

Foot peeling!
My feet are in a disaster so I've decided to give them a special foot treatment!
Also known as foot peeling! I bought these from Korean make-up brand Tony Moly last August. However I first tried it out during summer 2010! That was when I found this little joy!
I can really recommend this thing! After using my skin came off like a snake cast of it's skin! Kinda scary but the result was WOW!
My feet really felt like babies feet! (^^)
And now I'm in the gray and cold season here in Sweden and I've already said I've been giving my face lots of treatment.. however who says it's only the up-side that needs it? (^^;;)
In four to six days my skin will be cast off!! It's not a pretty thing to see however the result will be!!

Yes, It's a beautiful world!
This is the one, the final one...
I can't get this song of my head!! for the past 24 h this is the song I've been listening too. I like it already when it came out however for some reason now it's stuck!!
Lyrics
Here we go, lost in the lessons
Sometimes I mess up my intentions
I get lost, the cost was losing everything I’ve known
Laying here, staring at the ceiling
Sometimes still dealing with the feelings
Where I’ve been, what I’ve done
I’m so far out there on my own
So quick to point the finger
To find the one to blame
So hard to realize, I kept getting in my own way
I never thought that I was that strong
To carry on, carry on tonight
Forgiveness in your eyes, with nothing to hide
All I know is it’s shown me
It’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world
No more fearing my reflection
Here I am, with these imperfections
You know my flaws,
But you don’t care, can take them all
Till now I was barely breathing
But you gave me something to believe in
We’re writing history
Life’s made up of small victories
We could go round in circles
And never get to here
So good to realize that we have nothing left to fear
I never thought that I was that strong
To carry on, carry on tonight
Forgiveness in your eyes, nothing to hide
All I know is it’s shown me
It’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world
So quick to point the finger
Where it was me to blame
So hard to realize, I kept getting in my own way
I never thought that I was that strong
To carry on, carry on tonight
Forgiveness in your eyes, there’s nothing to hide
All I know is it’s shown me
It’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world
Oh the sun has a light
Let’s watch them shine for you and I
Oh these open skies
Can we just lie here a while
In this beautiful world
I never thought that I was that strong
To carry on, carry on tonight
It’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world
I can't get this song of my head!! for the past 24 h this is the song I've been listening too. I like it already when it came out however for some reason now it's stuck!!

Half gone..
I said I bought chocolate at the office yesterday, anyway last night I unpacked them from my bag and let my parents try. Anyway later I went to my room and fixed with stuff, time passed and soon it was bedtime. However then my mum said: I've eaten half of it...
I was like huh? how's that possible..? Anyway I went into the livingroom and yes it was half empty!!
At first she was sceptic towards the chocolate I had bought, Milk + caramel and Milk + Dark chocolate with canded ginger!!
I guess I'll have to hurry home today and put some away so that I'll get a taste too, I only had 1 piece of each last night and at this rate I can't be careful enough XD
I have to say the ginger one was much much better than I thought ^^
I mean chocolate + ginger, it sounds weird XD
