Take me faraway..

I'm starting to get bored!! maybe because it's time for FINALS!

Plz.. ((I quote Riidas new solo)) Take me faraway

Ohh.. yeah.. I went to my cousins this weekend, and I ended up eating やきそば

which was *MAXIMUM umai*!! however.. I'm still curious about the Yakisoba okonomiyaki..

it seemed very tasty!! I have to find it when I go to Japan.. ^^

Today, my "POTATO" magazine, 嵐 - Summer TIME final concert and V6 concert arrived!! :D

however I havent been able to watch them yet, since I have my exam tomorrow.. but on Friday I'll try to watch them.. :D :D

The one with V6 is a 4disc concert with bonus material..*yay*

And I have also ordered some stuff from J-store ((Johnny's entertainment official store)).. some pictures, uchiwa etc.. ;) I have to add..for a very nice price!

I hope my 嵐- Dream "A" Live Limited edition cd arrives tomorrow..either on wednesday!! or I'll kill someone!!

and also I'm really into buying the regular edition of the album too.. since it has a bonus song on it a song which I LOVE!!

Also.. Korea 2008 is getting closer... I'm so excited :D

and the visa thing seems to be solved.. I'll probably get a F4 visa..which is almost like a citizenship for me since I'm adopted..haha..somehow it turns out that there is something good by beeing adopted ^^ *joking.. I'm still me adopted or not..* still the Korean government has really done loads for us who have been adopted.. which I'm very happy for..!

Now I should clear my mind and go to bed.. somehow all words, years, names are riding a rollercoaster in my brain at the moment!!

Today's mood: Confused
Today's Song: リーダ(大野智 - 嵐) - Take me far away
Today's photos: 翔ちゃん, マツじゅん, 相葉ちゃん, にの ((Dream "A" Live photoshoot))

My head hurts!!!

I started my new part-work today.. and I have to say.. to get up early in the morning was not good!!

I wanted to fall asleep in the shower so bad this morning.. however I got to work and I have to say I managed to do it well!

However since I have been starring at a computer all day my head hurted so bad when I was done for the day, I couldn't even read street signs etc. Everything just got mixed up!

But I earned some money.. that's the positive side of it!! ;)

Anyhow afterwards I went to buy some stuff, an envelope for the magazine, Yakisoba noodles, tea and other boring stuff!

and when i came home I had to go to the post office to collect my parcel, however not the parcel I really wanted..

I got my Arashi - Time LE cd from Taiwan.. VERY fast as well I have to say. They shipped it last monday, so around 4 days to arrive... that's service. ((around $16 in total))

So what was it that I wanted?? Well.. MY ARASHI - Summer TIME DVD..and V6 dvd..!!!

Tomorrow I'm off to my cousins and I wanted to watch the Arashi dvd on my way there.. but what can I do??

however they better arrive on Monday.. and my Arashi - Dream "A" Live LE should arrive on Tuesday.. or Wednesday at the latest!!

And also.. soon I have my exam in Korean History.. it's scary!!

feels like it doesn't matter how much I read.. it won't be enough!!

Well as said before tomorrow I'm off to Linköping and my younger cousins.. it's going to be awsome :D

and also... it's time for food! I havent eaten real food for 2 weeks now..!!

However the question is.. スシ or やきそば　(Sushi or Yakisoba)

Ever since I saw the episode of 嵐の宿題くん when they were eating やきそば I have got a crave for it!! however.. sushi.. I love sushi 2!!

and we are going to go to my friends sisters restaurant... which is supposed to be a very fameous restaurant in that town :D

Today's mood: Tired

Today's Song: Ayaka - Okaeri

Today's photo: にのみや

I laughed so much.. he doesn't pay any attention at all when he is playing his games ^^

Cutest ever!!!

I managed to do it!!

Yesterday I went to visit the ones who is participating in the 2nd baltic regional session, and they had Eurovillage, food from all over Europe..

This time it was from Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, France, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary and Germany..

But since I'm on my diet I couldn't eat a single thing!! and I have to add.. GREEK food is my second love!!! I was crying, they had brought all the stuff I like!!!!

But I had to be strong and I survived..!

Anyway... I got to meet friends I havent seen for ages.. ((that will say 1-2 years!!))

And some who I havent seen for 6 months.. it was great to meet them and have a chat... ie. me and Elisabeth talked for a while.. it was nice, it feels like we are on the same level!

I really hope she'll come and visit me in Korea...

Later when i got home I watched Midsomer murders... this weeks episode wasn't the best but it was okay.

and after that I got a message, from Emilie who lives in Paris, France.. whom I havent seen since Kiev,Ukraine October 2006!! she told me that she's coming to Stockholm, Sweden, I really hope I can meet her.. since it was such a long time ago we met!

Today... I have been reading loads of OLD Korean history, some is VERY boring, but it's 10 days to go until our history exam so I didn't really have a choice.. however I have to read even more, start to write essays about the various topics etc!! GAAAAH... how am I going to survive?!

Then me and mum and dad watched "Taiyou no uta" with YUI... I have played her cd's etc at home so both of them have started to like her too.. which is great ^^

I also ordered Arashi's album TIME from Taiwan, I already have a copy, however it's the Normal edition, but I manage to find the LIMITED edition, which has been sold out for quite some time.. however I found it, and all I payed was around $15, which is NOTHING.. since it's brand new and it includes shipping to Sweden!!

And I also saw on Yesasia that my dvds with V6 - 2007 tour + Arashi - Time final summer tour 2007 are ready to be shipped!! so I guess they will arrive on April 28-29.. if they send them on Monday..!! I can't wait!

Today's Song: Arashi（嵐） - Fight song :)

Now the scary part starts + another happy surprise

Suddenly I realized.. it's the last class!!
and now the scary part begins.. FINALS!! Seriously speaking I'm scared!!
It feels like I have NO idea about what to write etc.. We got some reading and questions to answer for the final, still it feels like I have no idea what it's all about!
I have been attening 9/10 classes still when I saw the paper my mind went complete BLACK!! it almost felt like it became a bit lighter, which is not a good sign!!
I DON'T WANT TO DO IT... I DON'T WANT TO... WHAT SHOULD I DO??

*SLAP* I better wake up and just deal with it.. you know breath in breath out!!
I have more than a week to prepare, and to be honest.. it's the "old history" exam and "literature" exam I'm most worried about.. the rest is grammer etc.. which is "easier" to study since I know what I need to know.. which is everything from our books!

Weekend = more time to study.. I guess I should be happy right!?
Still I have so many things to worry about.. I'll start working next week, to get money for Korea..
I need to get my studentvisa, I need to fix stuff for Stockholm IS09... and the black list goes on!
Somehow.. even though I was more occupied when I went in high school, I feel more stressed and unhappy now!?
I guess it's the thing called GROW up!!


And my head and body isn't on the top of the mountain this week, since I have begun my diet.
Instead of eating around 2000 kcal like a "normal" woman should do a day..
I'm only allowed to eat 479 kcal a day + drink as much water I want... PLZ do no start to tell me that it's dangerous or whatever..
I have done it before.. and well then.. why do I feel so sad about myself??
Still it's a HELL!! since my body doesnt work as I want it to do.. thats why!
Well April 26 and I'll start eating normal once a day.. so maybe I'll add it up to 1000 kcal.. which is double from now!

And to chear me up.. I saw the second episode of ラスト・フレンズ it's a Japanese tv-serie..
I so want to see ep3. can't wait until next week, unless I have to study!
However tv-series and music are my "happy moments of the day"

Well I got another happy surprise today!!
I recieved a DVD and CD from Taiwan..
YUI - I loved yesterday (cd+dvd)
Taiyou no uta (DVD)
and I also got a poster, however they had folded it so it wasn't something to be too happy about.
anyhow..on the parcel on on of the sides.. it was covered with stamps.. worth around NT500 ^^
So when I came home with the items.. I forced my dad to watch the dvd from YUI's cd with me.. ((he likes her too..mostly because she uses a guitar..and he thinks I look like her..just that she is skinnier than me.. LOL))


Todays song: YUI - It's happy line + Arashi - La tormenta 2004
Todays mood: Scared and a bit lost

2 happy surprises.. :)

Today I started my diet.. I got to get a bit smaller for Korea ^^
Guess all the Swedish food and candy has made me chubby, and seriosly speaking.. Asian food makes me thinner!! ((I compare with last year.. I ate alot in Korea still I lost weight..then I gained when I came back home to Sweden, what a pitty life))
Anyway.. it's ok.. I'm doin this for a good reason!! :)

Today HeaRan came and visit during class.. which was fun, since I havent seen her for a week ;)
Donno what she thought of our class but.. it was nice to have her there :)
During class and afterwards we ((Tiffany, HeaRan and me)) talked.. about Studies, music etc..
We all are into Super Junior - M :)

But short after our class had ended HeaRan had to go home and study, while me and Tiffy went into Stockholm city and met Pernilla.. I drank loads of water ((since I'm on my diet)) and we talked about loads of things.. it was great to meet Pernilla again!!
Afterwards we walked around in Åhlens city, and we all got kinda disappointed.. why is the NEW Swedish fashion.. the Asian fashion of LAST YEAR!? and the prizes are so high...!! Seriously I won't buy a thing until I land in Korea..LOL

When I came home 1 first went to get a parcel, I knew it was coming.. however when I got home I saw that there was another parcel to pick up as well, so I had to go back to the "post office"!! Not that's far away.. still I was kinda tired, so it wasn't a huge success...
Anyhow the first parcel was a 3disc concert DVD with Tackey & Tsubasa *YAY*
I was so excited so I had to watch some of it!! it's 2 concerts (Their 07 concert and 07-08 Concert) and 1 bonus disc with various things!



The second thing was my HELLO KITTY bento box!! it's so cute.. don't you think??
*thanks mum for buying it for me*


All I'm waiting for now are some JE-goods, cd and soon dvd's ^^

And now its also decied.. I'm going to Linköping to my cousins between April 25-26/27.. we are going to eat SUSHI ^^


Today's song: Tackey & Tsubasa - Samurai + Super Junior M - U
Today's mood: Mixed

The world wouldn't be~

The world wouldn't be the same without sushi! ^^
So today when I woke up I had a huge crave for sushi.. I think it has been 3 months since I ate it..
so I went to a good sushi bar in my neighbourhood..
However I have to say.. Squid is not good :P I don't get it?! why does people like it.. I didn't like it at all.. I have to drink some misosoup to get it down!!!
I love Ebi, Maki, Tofu, and Tamago.. the most ^^

Yesterday I cooked ramen for dinner, and we (me and my family) celebrated my brothers birthday, however I won't be giving him any presents this year on his b-day ((april 17)).. and NO it's not becuase I'm cheap or anything.. it's just that since I'll go to Korea this summer I know there are loads of stuff he wants.. shoes, jeans, shirts etc!! So he'll just have to wait.


And why does some people have to ask me the same thing over and over again.. why can't they just LET me be who I want to be and DO what I want to do!?!?
PLZ MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS~~


Today's mood: caught in the middle
Today's song: Utada Hikaru - Prisoner of love

粉雪 - Powdered snow

I'd like to dedicate todays post to~
Somehow this song describes it all!!

レミオロメン (Remioromen) - 粉雪 (Konayuki - Powered snow)

粉雪舞う季節はいつもすれ違い
Konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo sure chigai
人混みに紛れても同じ空見てるのに
Hitogomi ni magirete mo onaji sora miteru no ni

風に吹かれて似たように凍えるのに
Kaze ni fukarete nita you ni kogoeru no ni
僕は君の全てなど知ってはいないだろう
Boku wa kimi no subete nado shitte wa inai darou
それでも一億人から君を見つけたよ
Soredemo ichi oku nin kara kimi wo mitsuketa yo
根拠はないけど本気で思ってるんだ
Konkyo wa naikedo honki de omotterunda

些細な言い合いもなくて
Sasaina ii aimo nakute
同じ時間を生きてなどいけない
Onaji jikan wo ikite nado ike nai
素直になれないなら
Sunao ni nare nai nara
喜びも悲しみも虚しいだけ
Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashii dake

粉雪ねえ心まで白く染められたなら
Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
二人の孤独を分け合う事ができたのかい
Futari no kodoku wo wake au koto ga dekita no kai

僕は君の心に耳を押し当てて
Boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshi atete
その声のする方へすっと深くまで
Sono koe no suru hou he sutto fukaku made
下りてゆきたいそこでもう一度会おう
Orite yukitai soko de mou ichi do aou

分かり合いたいなんて
Wakari aitai nante
上辺を撫でていたのは僕の方
Uwabe wo nadete itano wa boku no hou
君のかじかんだ手も握りしめる
Kimi no kajikanda te mo nigirishimeru
ことだけで繋がってたのに
Koto dakede tsunagatteta no ni

粉雪ねえ永遠を前にあまりに脆く
Konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amari ni moroku
ざらつくアスファルトの上シミになってゆくよ
Zara tsuku ASUFARUTO no ue shimi ni natte yuku yo

粉雪ねえ時に頼りなく心は揺れる
Konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru
それでも僕は君のこと守り続けたい
Soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuduketai

粉雪ねえ心まで白く染められたなら
Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
二人の孤独を包んで空にかえすから
Futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

English

Powdered-snow, within the revolving seasonswe always miss each other
although we got separated within the crowd,
we look into the same sky
blown in the wind,we feel the same chills
everything about you,
guess I don’t really know
even so, from one hundred million
I still found you
although i’m not really sure,
i’m seriously thinking about it
if slight quarrels may lose our laughters
then we must not live in the same moment of time
if we can’t be honest to each other
happiness and sadness are just empty

Powdered-snow, until our hearts become white-dyed
let us meet so that we can share our loneliness
I want to put my ears into your heart
to hear the voice that gently leads into the depth
I want to go descend, and let us meet once again there
although I say that I want to understand,but I can only stroke the surface of my word
seven your hands that have become cold,only by holding them tightly, we were connected

Powdered-snow, even too fragile before the eternity
fell and became stain upon the rough asphalt

Powdered-snow, in such time unreliable, shaking my heart
even so, I want to keep on protecting you…

Powdered-snow, until our hearts become white-dyed
wrap up our loneliness, return it to the sky…

a new artist is born!?

Recently various (Swedish)newspapers has been writing about a Swedish singer called Edith Backlund..
Me..myself.. I have listened to her for almost 2 years... or something like that!
I "discoverd" her when my younger cousins forced me to watch a movie..where she acted as a unknown singer.. and I fell for her voice!! so I had to look her up of course..
and I found a few songs.. but the song I liked the most is the one called "Rosie"
I cried when I heard it the first time.. it's so sad.. yet beautiful and it's a slow and calm song.. a very good combination!
So it's kinda cool that she gets all this promotion now.. and hopefully I'll be able to get her album someday soon..

Lyrics for her song Rosie

Rosie, I've been drafted
I'm a solider now 'am 'bout to die
for my nation with my brothers.
Come dear wave me off,
but please don't cry
I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up
but my undying soul will fly back homeand kiss you goodnight

Rosie, when I daydream
you will be my one remaining light
As I walk my way through deserts
I will carry you in my mind.

I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up
but my undying soul will fly back homeand kiss you goodnight.
I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up
but my undying soul will fly back homeand kiss you goodnight
I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up
But my undying soul will fly back homeand kiss you goodnightRosie,
I will try to wear my judgementlike it's a shiny crown
Do get married, have his children...
I will wait for you on the other side

Högen växer..

Varje gång jag städar mitt skrivbord så växer högen 5 minuter efteråt.. O__o
Dessutom blir dt stökigt igen.. ursch!! Jag vill ha ett större rum! ((Om man skulle ta och slå ut väggen till brorsans rum??^^ fast det skulle varken han eller mamma gilla ^^ Pappa skulle bara skratta..haha))

Ibland orkar man inte ta tag i allt.. läxor, uppgifter osv.. gaaah~~
Hela helgen o idag var sånna dagar då jag inte orkar med något! men ändå gjorde jag en hel del! Viljan för saker o ting försvinner hur lätt som helst!?

Igår trotsade jag mitt eget konto ^^
Jag använde min YESAsia kupong och beställde Tackey & Tsubasa - 5th year concert tour DVD.
Hong Kong versionen måste jag säga.. Totalt omkring 165 kr.. med kupong.. men om jag hade köpt den japanska utgåvan hade det blivit 470 kr!! Samma sak, fast region 2 vs region 3.
Köpte First limited version B~ Varför ha 2 st Limited o en vanlig edition? Man vill ju ha alla men palla att köpa!?
My next target är V6 - 2007 tour Limited edition - HK version!! och Arashi - Time concert..
och Shinhwas nya album... Tänk att det är det 10e året me Shinhwa..redan!!


Idag var jag till kyrkan o hämtade filmen, dt var lite läskigt.. för dt e inte varje dag man går till Pastorns arbetsrum o hämtar saker o låser efter sig liksom!!
men han va snäll iaf som lät mig komma fast att han inte var där.. På onsdag ska vi se May18~
Allt jag kan säga är LEE JUN KI~ han är orsaken till att jag ska se filmen..haha ^^
Oxå Kwangjumassakern är ett måste!!
Idag var jag även o käkade frukost/lunch med Tiff på Ciao Ciao due... det var hur gott som helst ^^ Cannelloni med spenat *mums*

Efteråt gick vi på Kangs lektion, som faktiskt var givande... ^^
vi hade kul iaf.. men ibland känns det som att hon dissar oss totalt.. först var hon 20 min sen, sen när vi skulle ha rast i 10 min var hon borta i 20 min O__o
Ogillar hon oss? eller bryr hon sig inte bara!? ((jag chansar på 2an))
Saken är den att jag hatar när hon säger "Är det okej om vi sitter över 20-30min".. NEJ det e inte mitt fel att du "skiter" i vår riktiga lektionstid.. sorry men jag har inte all tid liksom~
Men men ingen fara antar jag... men undrar dock varför det har blivit såhär den senaste tiden O__o

Happy and confused

*YATTA~*
I finally got my calendars with タキー＆翼 and 嵐!!
I LOVE them, the one with TxT is huge.. and all the photos are amazing!!
However, 1 frame and 3 phots each month..hmm.. what should I do??
Since タキー is my fave I'd probably use his photos the most ^^
and seriously.. 12 amazing photos, not one single bad photo!! How does he do it??^^

The one with 嵐 was cool as well.. however, will I write in it?? it's too beautiful..lol
and I love the cookingbook.. but why half in Japanese and half in English? it doesn't make any sense..!?

Talking about 嵐 I just heard 潤's solo song Naked.. :D :D :D (rip from his 潤style show)
Can't wait for the cd..!!

THEN I have ordered YUI's new cd (I loved yesterday) and her movie タイヨウのうた from Taiwan.. and I have to tell you, all the chinese charaters made me confused..((SINCE I don't speak Chinese at all, I only understand a few characters))
Still.. how can it be so cheap to order it from Taiwan compare to Korea,HongKong and Japan!?
I paid around $40 incl. Shipping..
but if I'd order it from some other place it would have cost at least $60

And I won an auction on Ebay... 嵐-写真 on the way to me :) :)
I got one really nice with しょうくん and rest with マツじゅん.. they are from last year, and I got them cheap which is cool since they are out of print!

One thing on my wishlist is a Renjaエイト outfit.. I just LOVE them.. ie. ∞ on the ass ^^　
I want the red one..^^ ((渋谷すばる)) or perhaps the yellow one ((錦戸亮))




3 weeks to go then all my final exams take place.. it's scary.. ie. Korean literature and art exam + korean elder history!!
I mean the oral and grammer are too but.. not as much as the other ones..!!

One step closer to Korea~

Now it's booked.. my ticket to South Korea!
Day of departure: June 25
and I will fly back home on: October 3

I'll be flying with Finnair, they will start their direct flight to Seoul in June, which is PERFECT for me!

I'm excited :D :D :D
it's around 3 months left, then I'll be back in Korea!!

What's left to do before I go is... packing ^^, book a ticket to Japan (boat + train - I want to explore Japan within 7 days or so..haha), fix my student visa, work + earn money~

Who is singing which solo on 嵐's new cd ((Dream "A" Live)) is released!

Also.. 相葉ちゃん through "Aiba recomen" on March 28 released a "preview" his solosong "Hello Goodbye" and one of the 嵐 songs.. called "Move your body"
I LOVED THEM BOTH... 相葉ちゃん's song was a really cute song!! ^^ it really suits him!!
I can't wait until I get the LE version of the album in my hands..!!
However... I'm most curious about じゅんくん solosong "Naked" ^^

I also found YUI's new cd ((The Limited editon)) on a Taiwanese site.. and I think I will order it.. since the price is THE BEST!!
Around NT579.. which is around $20.. all other sites sell it for $35


Happy 3

I went to the gym this morning ((my morning)) and when I got home I made lunch ((or dinner..or whatever)) I did a 100% Veggie dish!((I'm proud of myself..))
I put in mushrooms, pepper, tomato, onion, beansprouts, black olives, some cheese and other delicious veggie things... OMG how good it tasted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda like a hotpot.. ;)
I really did something wonderful...haha ^^
I love cooking food... however it's much better to share it with others..!


Happy 4

As said before Korea 2008 is set!! I'm really looking forward 2 it!
And I'm planning my stay atm.. I have a place to stay while I'm studying.. I will stay at 우리 집/woori jib
and I also if it's possible.. I really like to go to Japan..
So my travelplan now... is:
Flight: Stockholm-Seoul-Stockholm
Boat: Korea - Japan - Korea ((부산-福岡-부산))
Train: Around Japan.. ((I want to stop by 大阪(Osaka), 名古屋(Nagoya), 横浜(Yokohama), 京都(Kyoto) 東京(Tokyo).. but we'll have to see~))

And I need WORK..I need money...




Tomorrow = KARAOKE night!!! I'm so looking forward 2 it!!

I think I'm about to cry..

I think I'm about to cry~!! I got a note in my mail that I had a parcel to pick up.. and I saw the "id number" and thought.. my cd's came fast... BUT when I got there they told me that they didnt have it.. and my first thought was "WHAT THE???"
then I got a number to the "parcel-postoffice"..and of course I called them.. and they told me that they hadn't found it.. so NOW I'm panicking!!!
I hope it shows up tomorrow or I'm seriously going to punch someone really bad!!

I'm also a bit pissed at HMV Japan.. they said the shipping fee would be 1800 Yen.. however now they have changed their mind.. now the shipping fee is 5400 yen..
so total 11019 Yen, I'm not too happy but also I pay it.. because I want my photobook and calendars.. I have been waiting since February, and they will ship it with EMS, so it should take around 4 days until they arrive.. ((After they send it out from Japan))

I'm also hesitating about the DVD... I want it so bad.. however.. it's the money issue.. I need to save for Korea..
still I will buy it sooner or later.. and I still have a $5 discount until April 7.. so I guess I have until next week to decide...


Korean classes continues.. somehow the literature class is NOT my fave.. maybe because I don't like books that much ^^
I'd rather have a Hallyu class!! ((Hallyu = Korean wave)) I love "Hallyu".. it's one the greatest thing Korea has produced.. ^^
Well it's 3 classes 2 go... ;)



Dream "A" Live countdown

Today's song: 244 ENDLI-x - Help Me Help Me...

Easter and the COLD

So Easter is here, or now maybe I should say was here..
And as tradition we went to our summerhouse.. in a small town called Storvik, Gästrikland.
Anyhow I looked forward to it since I haven't been there since X-mas. I packed almost half of my room, strange enough, like I was going to be gone for ever..well well we had space in our car since my brother wasn't going with us.
When I got there it was freeeeeeeezing cold and LOADS of snow, even more than we had during X-mas. My first thought was "Okay, I'm gonna die" so I went inside and kinda forced my dad to light a fire!

Then I watched the World cup in figureskating... On the mens side.. my fave was Daisuke Takahashi from Japan and Stephane Lambiel from Switzerland! However they didn't do too well this year :( Okay bronze for Daisuke and 5th place for Stephane is good.. but I know they could have been NO 1 and 2!

Easter = Easer eggs and Easter food.
This year we had a lot of fish on our table!! however it tasted very nice and I really liked it..
Since I started eating loads of Asian food I have started to like fish even more.. and of course seaweed ^^
I'll be in heaven in Korea.. I'll buy loads of "김" in the supermarket when I get there ^^ that's for sure.

Back to the cold weather..
SERIOUSLY.. what's happening?? It should be spring now.. but I guess I was totally wrong!! :(
I can't stand the cold!! During the weekend we had minus 10-16 degrees celcius!!
Also I have to say.. my summerhouse isnt that far away from Stockholm, and is not in the very north of Sweden.. so that's why I'm so surprised!! Cause in Stockholm it isnt this cold and we doesnt have snow here either!!

Summer 08 is set

So last week I found out that I got a (summer)scholarship..I will be studying 한국어 at 이대 aka 이대여자대학교... in 서울l, 한국.
Somehow everyone I have told has laughed and said "Caroline, you do know it's a womens univ.. right?"My answer has been: "Ehm.. its called Ewha Womens university..soo NO I didn't notice!!"So WHY did I choose a womens univ. when I can go to a "mixed univ"?? Well it was the only univ. who had a intensive languageprogramme.. and I want to make the most of my time in Korea. ((Something that I might regret when I start..well shit happens))I'll be gone for more than 3 months... YAY!! *Goodbye Sweden.. Hello Korea!*

It feels like I'm on cloud 9.. Last year I couldnt imagine I would come back to Korea within 1 year!
Also I have already managed to find a place to stay.. I'll be staying an apartment really close to my univ. and it will cost around 130 000 Won (around $120) a month.. which is REALLY cheap!!! ((for being in Seoul))Why is it so cheap you might wonder.. well it's a guesthouse/apartment for Korean (overseas) adoptives..which I am..!At the moment.. I'm raising money.. Life in Seoul is not cheap - if your name is Caroline and wants to do loads.. (Shopping, sightseeing, travel, eat yummy koreanfood, have fun fun fun~)And if I get enough money I hope I can make a short trip to Tokyo, Japan on my way back home.. I'm stuck on Japanese tv-dramas and music these days so it would be cool to go there.. and I'd really like to visit Tokyo tower...And I'd also like to go to a concert, but it's almost impossible to get tickets in Japan.. ((JE has their stupied rules~ *crying*)) therefore I hope there will be some good concerts in Korea instead.. ((I missed 신혜성's concert since I had to go back to Sweden on the concert day :( ))

Ohh.. yeah.. I will be celebrating my 20th birthday in Korea.. and in Asia you become an adult at age of 20.. so Aug 16 = PARTY!! ((and it's a Saturday which is AWSOME))I'm also looking forward to meet all my friends over there..I'll be seeing you soon!!

Countdown: 2008년6월27일 ^^

I'm really tired.. since I havent slept much during the last couple of weeks.. so sorry for all grammar mistakes!



Why do I waste so much money?? Well I don't think I'm wasting but.. JE totally eats all my money!!
And my bankaccount is not 2 happy..!!! ((And I have to save money now.. for K O R E A ))
And recently I also bought some cd's on Ebay.. and all I can say.. the cd's was CHEAP but the shipping!!!!!Why does it have to be so expensive to send things around the world?
However.. back to JE.. I'm so excited about my new 嵐(Arashi) cd ((The Limited edition sold out in just 3 days on most of the sites on the net!! can't imagine what it will look like in Japan on the releasing day! I'm most excited about the guys solos.. I know which one にの is singing.. but I'm excited about リ一ダ一's solo, since he has the best voice.. and also　じゅん and 翔 since they are my fave! April 25.. come my way!!
Why Johnny why? still when he's at it.. why not also release another cd-single.. since he's already having 嵐 release 1 cd - LE and RE.. Concert DVD and Ohno butai-dvd..

I have found a new tv-serie.. it's from Taiwan and it's called 這裡發現愛/Zhe Li Fa Xian Ai - the English title is Wish to see you again
Zaizai, Kingone are starring.. Zaizai is so cute..haha but he's getting old :S
I love the OST.. ie. F4(JVKV) - 在这里等你!! So far ep. 5 is my fave because 阿部力 is in it ^^ it's cool to hear him speaking Mandarin, I'm most used to hear him speak in Japanese.　

2day I watched the latest episode of 嵐の宿題くん

And as usual I laughed very much, they always seem to come up with stupied things to do! ^^ 相葉ランド is the best part in the show ^^ and well 相葉ちゃん is the one who comes up with the most stupied things so I guess that's why I love it^^ ((then again he is one the biggest idiots.. said by マツじゅん))
Eating playing game

punishment ^^


Winter is back!? It has started to snow..and it's freezing!!
WHAT'S happening?? It's supposed to be spring now.. not a Christmas!
And when I speak about winter.. a friend of mine got a call from KBS ((Korean broadcasting system)), in Korea and they asked him some stuff, since they are coming.. they are going to tape the World Cup in figureskating here in Sweden..and my friend told them NOT to bring any winter clothes.. LMAO, ROTF... they much be in a shock now..haha and NEVER trust my friend again!

Today I started a new course.. Korean Art and Literature.. Kinda scary and it was a L O N G lecture! Hearing pieces of Korean litterature from 13th century and not understand more than 5% or even less..!! For about 2 whole hours. ((Subtitle plz))
And I recieved some small gifts from 혜미 through Yasmine.. I was so happy~ I loved the small notebook and the memocard thing ^^ 고마워요!

This morning I also got an email from InKas.. and I have a place to stay this summer while I'll be studying in Korea *yay* and the rent is really cheap!!((compare to a dorm..and I don't need to put up with "stupied dormrules" :D ))
What else.. ohh..yeah I hate CSN!!! they have really F***ed up rules about student grant. I can't change the Korean univ. policy? Really need to find a way to earn some money..((Well I actually got a job but I'm thinking of MORE money than I'll get from that)) I'll try to apply for some scholarships, I found one on 15 000 sek, which would be G R E A T if I get it.
Come to think about Korea and the univ I'll attend.. I'm so fed up with "You know it's a womens university"
YES I do know that.. but 이대(or 이화여자대학교) was the only univ. who offers an intensive korean language course, besides I'm not there to check out guys!! That I can do just by walking around on the streets of Seoul *lol*
So at the moment it seems like I will be in Korea for 3 months!! It's exciting.. and I have already talked to some friends over there.. can't wait to meet them again!! 희정 you better plan a good "Sightseeing in Korea trip"..haha ^^
And Andreas.. we have to eat Baskin and Robbins icecream.. however I hope 혜미 and you haven't eating too much of it ^^
and I'm going to eat way much 떡볶이 and I'll eat real 짜장면! I also look forward to eat 순두부 찌개, 김밥(it's cheap and good as a snack), 김치찌개 and 갈비.

+ I'm working on getting 영웅오빠 to come and visit since haven't been to Korea yet! and was pissed at me last year when I went there without telling him!!
Also while I'm in Korea.. I hope I will be able to attend some concerts, if there are any.. and I hope my fave artists will release cd's etc ^^ Last year I could have attended a 신혜성 concert but I was flying back to Sweden the same day so I couldn't..

When I'm on the Asian theme.. why does all the asian guys, or most of them, have to smoke??
I got this answer from one person: "Well they look so good when they are holding the cigarette".. *%¤/`?=!*.. So?? Do you want him to kill himself in order to look good??

Well well.. tomorrow is a brand new day...

Tiden går snabbt när man har tråkigt!!

Återgår till "titeln" o jag ska förklara varför..
1. JAG OCH REGN GÅR INTE IHOP!!!
Så därför blev jag sjuk.. rätt rejält, och jag som skulle STUDERA hela veckan.. då jag den 14 mars, dvs idag hade tenta..
Men nej varje dag jag klev upp ur sängen ramlade jag o slog huvudet i nattduksbordet.. Goodmorning to me!
Aja.. 2. PLUGG PLUGG PLUGG...stress som bara den.. 4 kapitel koreansk grammatik.. det är jobbigt, spec då allt är nytt o mycket liknar varandra, dvs stavas likadant men betyder HELT olika saker beroende på vart man sätter det i meningen osv.. ursch ursch!
Varför kunde jag inte växt upp med både koreanska och svenska.. mitt liv skulle vara så mycket lättare, låt mig förklara...
i Sverige.. ja.. utomlands tror alla att svenskar är BLONDA o har BLÅ ögon.. dvs ALLA har det.
och vi i Sverige svarar med.. ja du.. en del.. men nu är det så att det finns många invandrare här.. + Sverige har blivit en gott och blandat mix!
i KOREA däremot består befolkningen till 99.9% av koreaner..och alla "ser likadana ut" eller iaf har koreanska drag.. På gatan i Korea kunde folk komma fram och fråga.. "Vad talar du för språk.. du är ju korean"
Jag svarade: "svenska" som ingenting.. men ni skulle sett deras ögon.. jag trodde att de skulle falla ut på vissa av dem.
Och vad är då så utmärkande att de på gatan,tunnelbanan, i taxin, på nattklubbar osv.. kan se att man är korean!?
1. Ögonen ((Sure.. för er som inte vet.. Det är FAKTISKT en stor skillnad på kineser,taiwaneser,japaner o koreaner.. visst är ögonen inte runda som klot som västerländska ögon..men vi har vi alla sneda ögon.. men det skiljer sig mellan oss))
2. Näsan ((min är rätt platt måste jag dock säga.. o många koreaner har "platta" näsor.. tom. så långt att prästen i min kyrka sammanfattade utseendet på sin dotters näsa såhär: "Det ser ut som en pansarvagn har kört över henne"
3. Läpparna ((Överläppen om jag ska vara mer exakt..))
Så Nej..det är inte bara att gå på gatan i Korea o tro att man är vem som helst.. iaf inte tills man öppnar käften o snackar ett helt obegripligt språk ((Dvs i deras öron))

Varför nämner jag det här? Jo.. det lutar åt ((till 99%)) att jag från o med 27 Juni - början av Oktober kommer att befinna mig i Seoul, Sydkorea ((tar förmodligen om pengarna räcker..en tripp förbi Tokyo, Japan oxå när jag ändå är i Asien)) och studera det koreanska språket. Ska förhoppningsvis bli bättre.. ^^ vill kunna prata och förstå i alla fall på en "bra nivå" ^^
har fått stipendie av Inkas. så Ewha Univ. Intensiv kurs nästa!! dvs 200 timmar koreanska..
och Det betyder att jag INTE kommer att vara hemma på min 20-års dag.. så MAMMA och PAPPA.. ni får skicka presenterna.. ^^ och till mina kompisar.. It's gonna be a PARTY all night dag..haha!!
I Asien blir man myndig vid 20 års ålder, inte 18 som här.. såå.. finally!!!



Oj oj.. gled bort lite från ämnet tror jag.. men antar att det är för att jag är trött som en apa.. men kan inte sova!

Idag mars 14.. så är det WHITE DAY alla asiater och kanske andra för den delen..vet vad det innebär... ^^
Dock ingen choklad för min del..bara från mamma.. men det räknas inte.. MEN det skiter jag i.. för jag väntar på BLACK DAY.. April 14. Då ska vi käka Jjajangmyeon.. eller hur Tiff!?

Just dt.. förra veckan då jag var sjuk.. så var jag endast ute då jag hämtade mina paket från utlandet... Japan, Taiwan, Korea.
+ Denna vecka var jag inte heller ute..då jag satt inne o pluggade som en plugghäst..!!

STORT TACK till Hye-mi (Cecilia) som just nu befinner sig i Seoul..hon skickade 3 skivor o eyebrowcutters...well needed!! 언니 고마워요!^^
+ små presenter.. som Yazz har hemma hos sig.. som jag inte vet vad det är än..

This weeks arrivel:
堂本光一 - Mirror LE ((EMS budet ringde på kl 8.30 på morgonen och jag KRÖP ((Jag hade feber o skit)) ut i hallen o skrev på paketet..men som sagt det var VÄRT DET!! Skivan skickades en lördag och kom fram tisdag morgon från Japan.. THAT'S SERVICE!!))

Sen har jag även fått massa Arashi prylar.. LOL ^^
嵐 = 大成功!!
Har även pre-ordered deras nya album Dream "A" Live som utkommer i slutet av April.. och NEJ jag e inte dum.. men det är så att på flera stora japanska sidor är "Limited Edition" redan slutsåld fast att det är över 1 månad kvar tills den släpps.. o då ska jag oxå nämna att länkarna till "pre-order" kom upp IDAG (14 mars)
+ Deras LIVE dvd - SUMMER TOUR 2007 FINAL Time－コトバノチカラ－ kommer oxå ut i april.. men den kostar över 300 så jag e inte säker på den än.. dvs mina pengar räcker inte till!!
Dels för att jag måste spara till Korea men oxå för att det finns andra saker som jag vill ha.. tro det eller ej..!!
Det är förstås två skivor till jag vill ha..
Först YUI - I loved yesterday Många säger att YUI har en barnslig röst.. maybe that's the case..men hon skriver sina låtar själv och de flesta är SUPER.. älskar hennes första album mest dock.. men nya låtar som "Love & truth", "Namidaro", "I wanna be.." och "Laugh away" är riktigt bra!!
Nummer två är Domoto Tsuyoshi (堂本剛) - I & 愛... Tsuyoshi o Koichi (aka KinKi kids) är två av mina favoriter.. och jag har redan hört 4-5 låtar som finns med på albumet o jag älskar dem!!　Tsuyoshi kan verkligen skriva bra låttexter..!! ((Fave of all time är Ai no katamari (愛のかたまり) ))

Okej... back to real life once again..
Nästa vecka = nytt kapitel..kap 12 i boken..., 1 ny kurs - konst och litteratur!! I'm scared!!
Ska börja jobba oxå.. "ungdomssattsning på Teknikföretagen".. är lite rädd.. men ska nog klara det.. ser det som en utmaning.. o jag behöver pengarna!!
Måste ringa CSN om studiebidrag till studierna i Korea..
Måste skicka in papper till Inkas o Koreanska sällskapet..
Farmor fyller 85 år! måste hitta på ngt till henne..frågan är vad..hmm~


Summa: VAD SKA JAG TA MIG TILL!?
Aza aza fighting!!
