PUMA W NARITA


The local sports store had sale the other week, so I decided to purchase these.
I'm still waiting on them, but I hope they'll fit.
I ordered them online.
But it's free return in case I don't like them or it's the wrong size.
But I hope they'll fit.

I really like the colour!!
Perfect for spring!!

We went to my fave Korean restaurant in Stockholm - Kimchi.
We shared an starter - mandu (dumplings)
As for main my brother took Bulgogi and I took Seollongtang (Ox bone soup) and we also had lots of kimchi ^^


A great dinner...hehe

Nothing in common

This guy could be called a mix of Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber, but he looks better ^^
The singer is Christopher Nissen.
This song is from early 2012 so it's kinda old, but still so good.
Guess where he's from...?

찹쌀떡 / もちアイス

There's a dessert I love to buy in Korea and Japan, and that's Mochi ice!
Normally they fill it with red beans, but I usually take out 85% of it. To me it's too much to use in a dessert.
A bean to me is main!
Oh well.. then there's this someone who took that out and placed ice cream instead!!
I found this recipe and got to think, I wonder if I could make my own mochi ice!?

I'm now also kinda sad that my Green tea powder is out.
I'm not sure I can buy new in Sweden :(
But I can always use choco powder or colour ^^








...


Ice cream style...






Maangchi's Korean Ddeok
"Cooking with Dog" (Japanese style)

Survivor (remix)

It has almost been a week since this aired but here it is, the third song Helena Paparizou performed on Nyhetsmorgon last Sunday.
Here's her latest single "Survivor". I really like this version ^^
And I would have loved to have had her represent Sweden in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

Oh well... Enjoy ^^

Worst ending EVER



I had read about it before I watch it, but I have to agree.
The ending to How I Met Your Mother sucked!!
I have watched the series on and off but still you get the picture. However that was not the end I expected. It kinda felt like a April Fools. I cannot believe that is how it ended!
I wonder what they were thinking when writing the final story. Did they actually think it'd be a perfect end to 9 seasons!?

Robin and Barney's ending... really, c'mon!?
Ted's ending...Seriously?!
Lily and Marshall...fair enough.

Oh well.. it's just tv. And I'm not the biggest fan but I still liked it and this was N O T what I expected at all!!

I give the final episode a F or half a star!!!

More than noodles

I love Ramen, to me it's such a simple dish, but after watching this..
I guess you can say Ramen can be very complex too ^^
I looked onto his website, but I couldn't see anything spectacular there... so maybe a visit in real life is what it takes!? (^^;;)


未来へ

Here's another song I like from E-girls new album.
This one is called 未来へ (Mirai e / To the future)
It's a very nice ballad ^^




Japanese Lyrics
笑って話す キミのとなりに
ずっとずっと いられると思った
願いすべてを 叶えることって
難しいことなんだね

手をつなぎ 歩いた街も
想い出に変わる

未来へ それぞれに 歩き始めるの
本当は 今もキミが好きだけど
泣いたら ふたりで いつか
また逢おうってゆびきりも
嘘になる気がする
だから笑って 手を振るよ精一杯
笑顔で グッバイ See U Again

挫けたときに 黙り込む癖
我慢しないで 打ち明けてと言った
私のことを いつだって一番に
サンキュウ 考えてくれたんだね

離れても 忘れないよそんな

優しいキミのこと

明日が お互いを 変えてしまう日にも
私は きっとキミを好きでいる
何でも 話せる 最高のSmile 今度は私が
支えてあげたいの
振り向かないよ 泣いちゃいそうだから
笑顔で グッバイ See U Again

10年後なんて 浮かばない
もっと近い未来 叶えたいの
もっと輝いて きっと逢えるよね
笑い合えるよね

未来へ それぞれに 歩き始めるの
本当は 今もキミが好きだけど
泣いたら ふたりで いつか
また逢おうってゆびきりも
嘘になる気がする
だから笑って 手を振るよ精一杯
笑顔で グッバイ See U Again

Lots of memory

I found that I had a $20 discount coupon and they had a good price for a Seagate backup storage.
So guess what?! I bought it ^^
This one has 3000 GB or 3TB storage capacity! So now I don't need a new one for quite some time.
My 1000 GB or 1TB is almost full. I have so many photos from my travels and music on it.
I have put most of my old records to the digital platform... ^^

Happiness...
I got it yesterday!! ^^
I will set it up this coming weekend...I'm already excited!







Today's quote

"Never regret anything which made you happy..." (^0^)

Save me

This is another song from Helena's latest album, it was on air last Sunday! ^^
Here's Save me (SOS).
If you like it, search for the Greek version ;)

Make your move


I loved the movie Save the Last Dance and The First Step Up movie, and I have of course also seen the other Step Up movies too.
But I guess the story doesn't end there. Although I heard about this movie ages ago, it seems it finally with be released. However with a different title than I had heard...I knew it as Cobu.

I saw it already hit cinemas both in Denmark and Norway in 2013!!
But it will be out directly on DVD in Sweden on May 7.

The movie starrs Kpop queen BoA, and American Dance King Derek Hough.



サヨナラ

I got E-girls new album the other day, I really like it compare to the previous one.
And my fave song from this album is サヨナラ (Sayonara). It was actually released as a B-side track for the single KuruKuru last November.



It's already April!! ^^



Japanese lyrics
これが最後の最後と 思ってあなたの背中を見ている
優しくしないでねもう 微笑みかけないでもう
私が泣いたら 困るでしょ?
昨日まで綺麗な音色(おと)で鳴っていたオルゴールが壊れたみたい
ぎこちないメロディーがそっと サヨナラを連れてくるの

アイシテルって 一度もあなた
言葉に出してくれなかったけれど
ねえ 私は誰より あなたを愛していた
こんなこんなこんなにも 好きに好きになりすぎてごめんね

あなたは私の夢を 絶対叶えてくれると言ったね
一緒に居たいよずっと 隣に居たいよずっと
それが私の 夢でした
未来など欲しくはないと 目の前のあなただけを求めていた
恋心わがまますぎて サヨナラに近づいたの

アイシテルって 聞くたびあなた
困ったように私を抱いたね
そう それが答えだと 気付かないふりして
あんなあんなあんなにも 好きに好きになりすぎてごめんね

Ah こんなときは何て言うの 胸が潰れそうで 顔も見れなくなって
サヨナラ言ったら もうこれっきり二人は 逢えなくなるの

アイシテルって 一度もあなた
言葉に出してくれなかったけれど
ねえ 私は誰より あなたを愛していた
こんなこんなこんなにも 好きに好きになりすぎてごめんね

Marc de Champagne

I found this ice cream at the supermarket the other day, and since it said "limited edition" of course I had to buy it.
Magnum is a ice cream loved by people all over the world so it's fun when a new taste comes out.
The ice cream is called "Marc de Champagne"
It has a Marc de Champagne sauce (7%), covered with milkchocolate (24%) and a silver coloured cover (5%).

If you haven't tried it, please do ^^

Behind public transportation



I think many of you will be surprised about the Japanese public transportation, there are so many lines and trains and not many delays.
Although it happens, they are fast to post it so people can figure out other means of transportation.
I was on the Shinkansen heading back from Hakone to Tokyo when they announced delays or no traffic on certain lines, one of them the one I was about to take so I had to re-think my journey.
After watching this Youtube video, I have more understanding for the Tokyo public transportation. It's more than just trains.
They have really invested a lot, but then again, when there are millions of people using it, it's necessary!

Watch and be amazed ^^

One Life (Preview)

I reviewed the album the other day, and I found this.. a preview.
So for all of you who hasn't heard Helena's new album..

Here it is ^^


No Prove Bread with Butter and Raspberry Jam

I grew up in a bread loving country, so when I saw this on Masterclass the other week, it felt like a must try to bake. I just love Matt's recipes, a cheats way of cooking yet delicious.. what else do you need!? ^^
I can skip the butter and jam, possibly, but the bread I want to do!!
I hope I will have time this upcoming weekend.


Ingredients
Bread
1kg bread flour, plus extra to dust
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon instant dried yeast
950ml lukewarm water

Raspberry Jam:
1kg frozen raspberries
800g caster sugar
¼ lemon, juiced

Butter:
300ml thickened cream
300ml sour cream
Salt, to taste


Method

Bread

1 For the bread, combine flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in water until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate overnight

2 Remove bowl from fridge 1 hour prior to cooking, and allow to come to room temperature.

3 Preheat oven to 220C.

4 Line two baking sheets with baking paper, and generously dust sheet with flour. Place half of the dough onto one tray and place in oven for 1 hour or until golden, and the inside sounds hollow when knocked on the base. Make rolls and a smaller long loaf with remaining half of dough. Bake in oven for about 40 minutes or until golden and hollow inside.

Raspberry Jam
1 For the raspberry jam, place raspberries and sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook mixture for 2 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and skin, and cook for about 20 minutes until thickened, and has reached a jam-like consistency, stirring regularly. Remove lemon skin and discard. Divide jam between 2 sterilised jam jars. The jam will set as it cools down.

2 Meanwhile, for the butter, place cream and sour cream into the bowl of an electric mixer, and whisk until mixture splits, separating butter from buttermilk. Drain through a colander. Pour iced water over butter to rinse off any excess whey. Transfer butter to a piece of baking paper, season with salt, and roll into a log. Refrigerated until needed.

3 Serve bread warm with homemade butter and jam.

Notes: Makes 1 large round loaf, 1 long loaf and 6 rolls.
