Food for thought

best version of them all!!

I love this version of 素晴らしき世界 !!

Also this concert was GREAT!!!

I love the lyrics and music for this song, it's perfect!!
it's def. on my top 10 of 嵐 songs

Lunch time

Finally lunch time... These days I get hunry just a few hours after breakfast.It's really weird.
I guess it's because my day rythm is different every day, it's bad I know but I'm not sure how to fix it.


Anyway today's lunch is some kind of Thai wok...

Lunch music is 嵐 - モンスター!

Hotaru no hikari

I found this on YT... it's a mix from one of my fave Japanese dramas..
The song is THE ONE by Utada Hikaru

Enjoy

Coffee in the morning is GREAT

I came to work, tired as I don't know what... even though I slept longer than last night. Maybe that's why? I overslept XD my body is not used to it.

Anyway I just had a big cup of coffee, I feel human AGAIN...!!

Stay warm this winter

Last night I checked out Tutuanna's homepage and found these..
VERY VERY cute "hot pants" to wear this coming season, they come in many different colours and animals!
Even the ears stick out..haha
AWESOME.. I really want a pair.

They come in both LOW and HIGH sizes and cost around 1200 jpy!!

Perfect this winter don't you think?

I'm gonna try to buy a pair...just because :P

How can people behave like that?

I just saw the documentary with Michael Jackson's doctor. Mr. Murray.
After seeing this I'm not sure what to believe, it seems they were close and he was there for Michael when others wanted him "dead" so to say.
But we can not be sure if it's truth or act.
I'm not here to judge.
However when watching and the verdict came I was surprised how people on the streets started to cheer and hug each other of happiness.. like it was the best day of their lives!
I do understand that they really loved Michael Jackson and all. Justice for his death were needed in order to let him go. BUT in my opinion we can never really know if doctor Murray did it or not, according to dr. Murray he said he didn't do it, he said it was Michael himself because he couldn't fall asleep.

I'd understand the so called "happiness" if we of the facts would know that the person was guilty. Like the terror attack in Norway! No matter how it turns out we know he's guilty.
But here we do not know.. still people celebrated like a victory in the Olympics! It's quite scary to be honest. Humans can be really scary....


Michael Jackson RIP

I almost forgot..

I've tried out almost all JE bands... at least listen to songs.
But Arashi will always be my ichiban, I also like KinKi Kids, V6 and TxT.
I used to like NEWS and KAT-TUN but only for a very very short while.
Back to the story! I've been busy with Arashi so much I've pretty much forgotten about the rest.. or not taken much interest since I don't have the time, I've just put all effort into my ichiban.
Then today I saw an interview, Heyx3, featuring Tackey and Tsubasa! AND I realized how HANDSOME Tackey is! I mean he has always been high on my list, but he has been doing lots of other things so I've kinda forgotten about him!
Then today he reminded me that I should keep a better track on him!! (^^;;)

Thank you

There are some people in my life I treasure alot..
I'd like to say THANK YOU to you and dedicate this song to you! And sorry for not being able to meet as often as I wish I could...

こんな遅い時間にゴメンね
一人じゃせっぱつまってきたの
君の声少し聞けたら

何でも打ち明けられる
ママにも言えないことも全部
誰よりも分かってくれる

嬉しい時は自分の事みたいに喜んでくれて
ダメな時はちゃんと叱ってくれる存在

へこんでる時は
真っ先にメールくれる優しさに
もう何度も救われて

泣きたい時はおもいっきり泣けばいい
側にいるからって
誰よりも強い味方

そんな君に私は何かしてあげられてるかな？
何かあったらすぐに飛んでくから、絶対

Thank you
I’m glad that you’re here
No matter the time
I can always smile
No matter how many years pass while we’re away from each other
Nothing will have changed
We’re Best Friends
I love you, I really love you

I’m sorry for waiting so long to say this
I was driven into a corner alone
When I hear your faint voice
I felt like I could make it

I can tell you anything
Even things I can’t tell my mom
You understand better than anyone

When I’m happy you’re just as happy for me
And you’re the one to scold me when I’m wrong

Thank you
I’m glad that you’re here
No matter the time
I can always smile
No matter how many years pass while we’re away from each other
Nothing will have changed
We’re Best Friends
I love you, I really love you

You quickly see through my pretenses
When I’m feeling down
You’re the first to send me a caring emails
That have saved me so many times

You said I should go ahead and cry when I feel like crying
Because you’d be at my side
My greatest ally

I wonder if there’s anything I can do for someone like you?
When I figure it out I’ll race over to you, I promise

Thank you
I’m glad that you’re here
No matter the time

I can always smile
No matter how many years pass while we’re away from each other
Nothing will have changed
We’re Best Friends
I love you, I really love you

I’ll always be praying
I want you to be the happiest person in the world

Thank you
I’m glad that you’re here
No matter the time
I can always smile
No matter how many years pass while we’re away from each other
Nothing will have changed
We’re Best Friends
I love you, I really love you

I wish I had more time...

These days I'm a busy woman, before I had more time to relax and follow various TV-dramas and varity shows.
I started to watch the Korean drama 포세이돈, but I've only managed to watch until episode 4!
The last ep aired in Korea last week so I have quite alot to see.
I love 시원 so I want to see it, however since I lack of time I've chosen to focus on another drama instead. I watch 謎解きはディナーのあとで. It's funny and exciting each time. I love Sho-chans character..!
However if I have time I'll try to find the SP of 怪物くん...

Besides from Asian dramas, I'm currently following 2 Danish dramas on TV.
I do like to watch tv instead of my computer, I guess it's because the screen is bigger (^^;;)



Can we extend the day with a few hours?

Are we too soft?

When thinking about the trial in Norway and also various trials we have had in Sweden I started to wonder if we are too soft, compare to the US and other countries.

Yesterday court was open and we could hear more about the trial in detail.
However he was not allowed to speak as he pleased. When Anders B. Breivik tried to say something to the families the judge told him it was enough and should be quiet.

The trial will continue, he is still isolated, no visitors etc.. but what has also been reported is that soon he will be able to be "more free"... what that now means, maybe be able to connect to the outside world?!

Anyway it will take time before we know what punishment he will receive, we can just wait and see.. This is not over.

A beautiful moon!

I just came to school but on my way I saw the moon, it was really bright.
It surprised me since it was 7.40 am!!
However seeing the moon makes me want to go back to sleep (^^;;)
Soon time for class, then off to work


ps. I'm hungry too.. what to do?!
Breakfast is not my thing but I really should start to eat something!!

Good morning...

It's 5am and I feel like a stone, I wish I could sleep more but no.. It's time to go to class.
After my 2 h class I have work...
It will be a long day!


Gaaah.. what should I wear? I DISlike the weather... I have much clothes still not know what to wear..panick :S

Blood donation

Today I donated blood for the second time in my life..
Many people have asked me why I do it, well.. because I can and because people are in need!
Also if I'd be in a situation in the future where I'd need blood I hope there will be blood to receive.



My arm hurst a bit, the needle was bigger than I thought (^^;;)

Now I'll have to wait 3 months until the next time...
If you haven't donated yet and is not scared of needles, then you should do it! People are in need!!

ノルウェイの森

ノルウェイの森 - Norwegian Wood

Plot
Toru Watanabe is a quiet and serious young man in 1960s Tokyo whose personal life is in tumult, having lost his best friend Kizuki after he inexplicably commits suicide. Seeking an escape, Toru enters a university in Tokyo. By chance, during a walk in a park, Toru meets Kizuki's ex-girlfriend Naoko, and they grow close. Naoko is devastated by the loss of Kizuki, however, and spirals into a deep depression.

After many months I finally saw this movie! I was so pissed I wasn't able to see it in the movies but I was too busy at the time.

What can I say!? It's very Japanese.. I like the surroundings, still I do have a hard time for Tran Anh Hung's movies. They are beautiful but sometimes they are also very weird.

Both Kenichi-san and Rinko-san are doing a great job, however after watching I'm not sure if I liked it or not...

I give it

Why give him what he wants

Today the court in Norway against the man behind the terror attack last July, Anders B. Breivik, will be open to public!!
Before it was closed but now they have changed their mind, both journalists and families to victims will be present. However people are afraid he'll use this as a stage and talk.
It's said that people are curious to see what he looks like, what he sounds like.. and what he has to say.
The new trial starts at 11am (GMT +1) and it will be high anticipated from all over the world.


More news to come later.. still why give him what he wants?

Today's quote

Not everything last forever, not even our problems...

ぷっちょ

All countries have their own kind of candy/sweets.
I always try different things out when travelling, all from traditional to "normal sweets".
Today while cleaning I found packs with sweets I bought in Japan last August. I had totally forgotten about them.. however when eating some I realised how much I like them!!

ぷっちょis the name of the candy.
They are one of my fave candies from Japan! They come in different shapes and flavour. The ones in the big bag pops even more...!!
I love it when it pops in my mouth while eating them (=^0^=)
They come in many different flavour.. I think I like the soda ones best. But it's always fun to try different ones out..I wish we had these in Sweden, I've never been able to find them in any shop. But then again maybe it's good.. then I have something to long for when I finally go to Japan!
Since these are JAPAN ONLY
- あわわわわぷっちょボールグレープ　 - ぷっちょスティックソーダ

One Piece with style...

The Norwegian One piece has become really popular in Sweden.
But when looking at it, it looks like a gigant clothing for babies (^w^) Guess some people do not want to grow up?!

As you can see it comes in many different colours

Last year I bought one myself however it's slightly different, instead of the one with normal fabric and a zipper in the middle. I ordered one from South Korea.
I actually wanted to buy one in Japan back in 2008 but I thought it was too expensive at the time (the one, Doreaemon or Pickachu, I wanted cost 150USD)
Then I found a shop in Korea who sold various types of "one pieces". All different animals...
I chose the Koala bear

What can I say about it: It's really nice to wear at home... it's warm and all.
Perfect to wear when lazying around at home!! (^0^)
Also it was super cheap, compare to the ones I found in Japan.. I think I payed 35 USD incl. shipping!

I have not tried it outside yet and I bet people would stare at me, in Sweden we do no "stand out" alot and if we do people think it's because we want attention.
But I've seen people in both Japan and S.Korea wearing these outfits outside! I really envy them (^^;;)

Which one do you like... the traditional or the cute one?

Versace x H&M = True

Earlier this week I was excited about Forever 21 x Hello Kitty..
On Thursday (17th) next week it's time for another match!
I'm of course talking about Versace for H&M.
For what I've seen of the collection it looks quite awesome, still not sure if I'll buy anything.
I bet it will be a huge rush in Sweden for the items.
Last year when I was in Korea there were no rush what so ever, like there wasn't a collection. I liked it because they had all sizes and all items left so I could checked them out in my own pace..

I don't think I will be up for a cat fight...
