Tired

Today we did sightseeing and shopping, i finally bought something good... UGG boots, never seen that type of boots before but I'm pleased. i needed new winter boots and now i got them ^^

in LA!

we finally arrived in LA!
right now we are sightseeing in Hollywood!
Sun is shining and i can walk without my winter coat!

Seattle day two

Today we decided to explore some more shopping by taking the bus to south Seattle!
however it was more difficult than we thought, reason...we waited at the wrong bus stop!
here both bus and light rail use the same space! we had no idea so we stood above ground for 30min in vain!
other than that it was actually easy as the bus went straight there!

i bought a few things, but i found so many, it was difficult not to buy them to be honest!
I want to buy whole Victoria's Secret! i already bought stuff but i want more!!!!! ^^;;

Anyway after spending most time there we headed back downtown and out to the Space Needle again.
Next to it there is a glass museum we wanted to check out as they had closed last night when we got there.
it was awesome! it's amazing what that man can create!

After that we went back downtown, and walked down to Pike market and went back to starbucks, i bought a cup for my mum and of course a coffee.
For dinner we had some Mexican, we shared one dish, it was huge! we couldn't even finish it!
wonder how one person is supposed to eat it?!

Tomorrow is our last day here, we leave for LA in the evening!
i liked it here, besides evening time, it gets kinda unpleasant with the homeless and so on... people start fighting etc!

Anyway...in all..good!

Another day

Today is day two in Seattle!
More sightseeing and more shopping awaits us!

ironically also here we met up with people from our university!
the world is too small XD

Worlds first

Today i went to the worlds first Starbucks!
it's located in downtown Seattle, in a tourist district! in all it was fun~

also...no matter where you go, there's always a starbucks!
Then again we are in the city it was born, still I'm surprised there aren't many other coffee places around!

Victoria's secret

Woho~ i finally got to go to a real VS store!
and i loved it! why don't we have it at home in Sweden?

in the end i bought 2 bras, and in NYC i will get body lotion and underwear! ^^

It was a good day!
it's nice to be in Seattle, however it's sketchy at night!

Morning

We easily checked out of the hostel, and are now down at the station.
however as they canceled our train, we are now waiting for the bus!

anyway we are excited to go!
US here we come ^^

Good bye Canada, for now

I'm finding new Canadian artists all the time, kinda funny as my life in Canada soon comes to an end.
anyway here I'm sharing another music video from a Canadian musician i like... Jesse Labelle

hair cut

Today i finally got a hair cut! good bye split ends! hello fabulous ^^
it cost $100 for treatment and cut, so worth it. we went to a Japanese place, and funny enough, half the day has been spent in Japanese places, it almost felt like i was in Japan ^^

Happy day! tomorrow we are off to Seattle!

Christmas brunch

Today we went to Hyatt hotel here in Vancouver for Christmas brunch!
it was a buffet, and it was so delicious!! we ate a lot, we spent 2 hours eating and one hour digesting ^^
I also got to try eggnog for the very first time :)

anyway it sure was a Merry Christmas ^^

Christmas day

in North America, as most know they celebrate Christmas today on Christmas day.
so Shoko and i will go to Hyatt hotel and have Christmas lunch! it's a buffet ^^
it was fun when we went there yesterday and made the reservation, because the hotel staff who helped us was more excited than us, he kept on showing us the menu and said how delicious it was etc XD

anyway time to go for our brunch! ^^

Good night

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all~
And good night from Vancouver!
This is the view from where I'm staying

All passed

I finally received my final grade for my fifth class of this semester and i can proudly say i passed them all! :)

Now i don't need to be anxious anymore and can enjoy my vacation!

It became a good x-mas gift ^^

Merry Christmas!

I'm now in Vancouver!
We arrived late, as our flight was late.
We ran off the plan in Calgary in order to catch the connection to Vancouver!

Anyway today we have done some window shopping, book Christmas brunch for tomorrow - at Hyatt hotel! For lunch we had Japadog - Japanese styled hotdog! And we also went to Capilino bridge park!
We also met up with Hani ^^

I'm so tired, gonna sleep soon ^^

Checked in but...

We arrived early and got checked in, however guess what, the flight is one hour delayed.

Regina airport is boring, its so small so there's nothing to do.

We just bought coffee at Tim Hortons, and hope time will pass~

All set

My mum woke me up this morning, the morning i had decided to sleep LATE!
Anyway now I'm all packed and ready to go!the taxi arrives in 3 hours, gonna slack until then ^^

Slow day

Today has been a slow day, sleep until late, then i hit the gym. It was sad as it was the final time to go there!
I cannot believe it was my final time to visit our Fitness and lifestyle center.

After that i went around with my camera around campus, i wanted to get videos of campus so i can show my parents ^^

I also made laundry, tomorrow evening we leave for Vancouver ^^

Now movie time then packing time ^^

Nutcracker

Tonight, me and 3 friends went to the local art center and saw a ballet, The nutcracker.

It was very nice, not only did i see some great ballet dancers (?!), it also became a great start on this Christmas weekend!^^

London fog

This morning i went to the finance office to get my deposit back, it went faster than expected!
When i came back home, my roomie had bought me "breakfast", a London fog from our common ground cafe downstairs! ^^

The day after tomorrow we leave this small town!

YAY ^^

Sushi lunch

Today we went for lunch, we went across the city to eat Sushi and Chinese buffet.
So awesome and great company!

Tired

I haven't done much today to be honest, still super tired, now I'm gonna do some laundry by hand, then go to bed!

Shoko and i just watch Himitsu no Arashi-chan, it was fun.
Perfect end to this Thursday evening ^^

Downtown

Today we went downtown for lunch!
We went to a Thai food place, it was good ^^
Now we are in Cornwall for some shopping and hot drinks

I got Christmas in a cup ^^
Sweet apple cider with a cinnamon stick ^^

Official

So i officially moved out from the dorm.
It feels kinda weird to be honest...and sad.
Well it's the start of the end!
On Sunday we leave for Vancouver! ^^

Campus

This is how campus looks like, it's really quiet! Donno if these signs help but ^^
Especially now as it's the final days, most are already done and on their way home to celebrate Christmas...

Exam time

It's soon time for my final final exam here in Regina!
I hope it will go well, so far i have passed them all so i hope this one will be okay too ^^

Tonight i have to clean my room, tomorrow I'm moving out!

Study day

Besides from a very nice lunch with Sara, i have been studying for my FINAL final exam of this semester.

I will write it tomorrow evening which is a downer, i rather had it in the morning, anyway cannot change it.

Time to sleep!

Money :D

Today after lunch I went to sell back one of my books, actually I wanted to sell two but they would only give me $9 for one of them, and I paid $70 for it so.
Anyway... the other one I bought for $30 at the beginning of the semester and today when I sold it back I got $55.25!! That means I earnt $25.25, it feels NICE ^^

I hope they will decide to use the other books I have for next semester too so that I can get rid of them ^^

Money is always good, especially for the trip!! We're leaving on Sunday!! :)

Popcorn

My friend sent me a few texts last night. She made me so jealous!
Guess where she was...Tokyo Dome to attend Arashi's concert!

She has seen them twice now!so unfair XD
I'm happy for her and thankful for the photos she sent me!

Also she told me she bought a towel ^^

Canadian style

Because of my Canadian friend I have started to like country music...
What can I say, but most of my Canadian friends here comes from smaller cities... and all of them likes country music and now, so am I!
I really got into one musician, Chad Brownlee. He's Canadian, ex-hockey player!
I really like his music, I got to buy his cd before I leave Canada!! ^^


So before I go to bed I just wanted to share some of his music....
I'm sure I would NEVER ever have found him unless I would have come to Canada!!

Listen


Carried away


Day after you


Smoke in the rain


Today's quote

"You have to have a bad day every once in a while... otherwise you'll never know what a good day feels like" ;)

15 years today

It has been 15 years today, i cannot believe it to be honest. 15 years has passed since one of the most beloved people left this world. My mother's aunt, Berta.
She meant the world to me!

It's so weird though, it all happened so fast, you were healthy and suddenly you were gone.
Just a few weeks before it all happened we, mum and i, took her out shopping and she bought a pocket calendar for 1998, but she never got to use it. That was end of November 1997!
Back then i could never imagine she'd leave us.
As both grand parents on my mothers side passed away when i was a toddler, auntie became grandma.

I loved going to her house. I rather spent time in her house than going to our own whenever we went to my mothers hometown.
My mum never understood why i always wanted to go there instead, but what can i say, one of the best people in the world was there!

I remember the day we found out that she'd been taken to hospital, i thought it was a bad joke, and i hoped for her to go home as soon as possible. But she never did.
Mum took me to the hospital and i saw her lying on a bed in this big dark room all alone, with this horribly ugly pajamas on.
She couldn't move, nor speak, she was just lying there.
I think she was in pain, and i still wonder how someone could go from being so healthy to being like a vegetable.

Time passed fast and i never had the time to really say good bye.
I also remember the day she passed away, i was so angry with my mum for not showing up at school as we had a Christmas event.
I was so angry until i saw her sitting with her head down in the kitchen table. That was when she told me...
All my anger turned into confusion.

I didn't have the time to really say goodbye. I never got to say how much she really meant to me.

But i guess God wanted it differently, in away it was goodbye, but i will see her again. Not on this earth but i will see her again!

Today is dedicated to you, Berta♡
I carry you with me everyday in my heart♥

So far i have passed all my classes!

Happy days right!

Kinda sad it's soon over but I'm also quite happy!
Also for another class i think i must have got a 90% on it as i got such high final grade!

Well one more exam to go!

Today's quote

"Positive thinking is not about expecting the best to happen every time but, accepting that whatever happens is the best for this moment..." ;)

Little Norway - size matters

I found this on youtube, it's so funny!! Especially since it's from Norway!!
Of course it has to be from Norway, and they sure make me laugh... ^^

SIZE MATTERS ^^

*Note... Norway u are not the only ones, DK and SWE also has 29!!! :P

Exam time

It's 7am! I haven't woken up this early in a long time!

Anyway got to get up,eat my medication and go to my 5 hour long exam!
I can promise i will need the whole time to complete it!

Catch you later!

Chicken soup, cough drops, ginger ale

Today i have eaten lots of get better stuff, such as chicken noodle soup, cough drops, medicine, ginger ale... And my roomie kindly went and got me a hot chocolate!
I really hope all this will help me getting better!
I don't need this cold right now!

I have other things that are way more important!!!!!!

Like tonight, an all study night!

Tomorrow i have another exam!

12 12 12

Today is a special day! Final one in a century! It's the final one i will have in life i suppose!
Today should be celebrated some how, but unfortunately i have to study. And I'm so sick, my head won't stop spinning!
I hope i can make it for my final tomorrow. I should have passed consider the final is only 20% of my whole mark.

Also North Korea destroyed today by shooting up their stupid missile in the sky! Of course they just had to choose today!!!

Anyway back to my studies~

Enough to last

Today i went to Walmart, got Canada dry ginger ale, cough drops, and some bananas and bagels, i should last until we leave for Vancouver! ^^

So happy that Sara could take me as i can't go tomorrow evening!

Anyway should study a bit as i have a final tonight.

Cold~

I asked for a nicer weather, by that i meant warmer...
Sadly i did not get what i wanted!
I went out grocery shopping this morning, what can i say but i thought my nose and fingers were gonna fall off! It was cold into my bones!!!!

Guess the Saskatchewan winter really arrived!

Canada dry - save me!

I'm coughing and it feels like my lungs are about to explode!
One of my roomies just went to get me a hot chocolate, the other one told me to ask the third one for a Ginger ale pop as ginger is good for the throat!
It sounds crazy to me but just got it and hope this Canada dry ginger ale will save me!

Got to be able to get through this week!!

Good night Regina

The weather stays cold!
I have the heater on and now I'm gonna sleep!

Coming down with something

During the afternoon i started to feel weird, and now it really feels like I'm coming down with something, i don't have the time to be sick, as finals starts tomorrow!!

Gonna try to sleep now and hope i will feel better in the morning!

Today's quote

"Smile a lot. Laugh out loud. Sometimes cry it out. Stop worrying coz all things change!" ;)

More study

Tomorrow my first final kicks off, not really but the first one during finals week!
I'm not too afraid, as i have prepared for the last couple of days.
The one I'm most concern with is the one on Thursday and Next Tuesday, the 18th.

So far i have gone to the gym and just threw in some laundry into the machine..
Time for studying!

(@@;;)

This is the weather I'm exposed too!
All i can say is, i won't go outside tomorrow!

Food for thought

Cold

Another cold day in Regina!
Me and two friends just took a walk and it was so cold!
I wasn't sure about the temperature, however i checked it as soon as we came back!

Guess what...

Chasing Mavericks

Just came back after watching the movie called Chasing Mavericks, I liked it.
I knew nothing about this, and I guess the people who does might have a different opinion, however I thought it was a good movie!!
I got to be honest, the reason why I even found it was because of Gerard Butler!! ^^ And they showed it at the Rainbow theatre for $4.5. Spent a good Friday night ^^

Spa day

Today me and two Canadian friends took a road trip to a neighbour city called Moose jaw. It's about 35min away.

First we went sightseeing in the Moose jaw tunnels, very interesting i have to say!
Then we headed for lunch and after that we went to the mineral spa! ^^
It was so nice! I wish it was located in Regina!

Anyway we had a great day, now time for some studying before bed, I'm exhausted!

Keep the tradition

I have had one since i was little, and even though I'm not in Sweden, i was able to get one ^^

I got to keep with the tradition, here they also have a 32day one, it last until New Years day, but i stick with mine - until Christmas ^^

So true... XD

I don't care

I just got the grade for my paper, i donno what's wrong with that prof.
It feels like nothing pleases her, unless you write it the way she wants it!
I think it should be objectively but no...

I just donno~
Anyway as long as i pass i will be happy i guess.

Study time

It's time to start study for my finals, it sucks, but i have too~
I got so many subjects and things to study.

At least my buddy Tim Hortons keep me company ^^

Christmas cookies

I went to my friends room after my exam..
And guess what, she had made Christmas cookies ^^

So cute and delicious ^^

A surprise!

Just talked to my friend whom I'm meeting up with tonight after my exam, we are gonna watch a movie.
She just told me she has a surprise for me, and that i will like it...i wonder what i could be ^^

Stupid now i can't concentrate for my exam, i just want the surprise ^^

Exam time

Today i have my first final, however i haven't studied at all XD
Hope it will go well!

Japanese exam - here we go!

Presentation DONE!

My presentation for Small Business Management is done - Yay!
We did better than i thought, still not too pleased, which means I'm not sure about our grade!

Anyway this class is over, now focus on the final.

Also i managed to get a 9.9 of 10.6, or 9.3 of 10.0 as i received a bonus mark on the individual assignment for this class!

Final classes

This morning i had my final class of Negotiations and tonight i got my final class of small business management!

I'm happy and sad at the same time, I'm overjoyed it's over, but at the same time it means i will soon go back home to Sweden! (T_T)

So true

I wonder how many guys think it says like this when they are about to wash their clothes! ^^

Awesome lunch
