October 31st...the last day before November and it's Halloween! I normally don't celebrate nor decorate but I think I'll watch one of my favourites: Sleepy Hollow.

I've had a busy week...with only 2 days off, I kind of needed the rest (get some sleep) but still I've kept busy with fun stuff :) Last weekend I went with the girls to see a Nickelodeon event for the videogame Skylander, they played some very good music by BTR so my sister was so happy!! 
On sunday I went to see Jay who was providing NK Street with some awesome music, we talked for a while, took a few pics and then I headed to work. It's always fun to see him 'cause he always has something wise to say.

On my two days off I've only slept (a lot), today I did a little more...went shopping with my sister. I even bought a movie.... "X-Men: First Class" which I saw at the movies with Kia earlier this year, it was actually quite good though. I missed the other actors though, I have a thing for "Wolverine" ever since I first saw "X-Men".
Anyway, I'm off to bed now...tomorrow I begin my 5 days of working but on friday my sister and I will be attending the "Twilight Fan-Event" with Rob Pattinson and Ashley Greene, actually I already met Ashley before in 2009 at the Twilight Convention but Rob, no I've never met him before....I had this huge crush on him but now much more calm :) But excited for both the event and the movie!





Goodnight Peeps, Sweet Dreams!

I don't like Justin Bieber...honestly....yeah okay some of his tunes are kind of catchy and my sister listens to his music every now and then ^^.

Welcome to yet another grey day, only difference is that it's my day off *Thank God* and today I'm meeting my best friend for dinner =) I haven't seen her since hmm after the summer but before I got sick. She's been in London as well, I think that next time I travel I shall ask her to acompany me. Now I'm quite familiar with how the buses and the underground works so that shouldn't be a problem!
My friend (whom I went to London with) is still not talking to me...I think he's either mad, doesn't have the time to text me or simply is not interested in doing so. But hey, I gotta say what I think and if people can't take it....then I have to let go, which is not easy when you're in love with that person.
Anyway, no use of getting sad today...this morning I watched another new episode of "Hawaii 5-0" with the gorgeous Steve (Alex O'Loughlin) McGarrett....wow that man drives me MAD!!!!
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be getting the season 6 of "Bones" and in november the new season 7 begins :)

Hope you guys have a lovely day :)
Later!!

And so the 4th day came...the night before I didn't sleep well. Part of me wanted to go home, be with the girls and the other part wanted to stay in London another week. There's so much to see, which I intend to perhaps next year if it's possible. My morning started early, we needed to catch the airport coach at 9 am so at 7 am I was already up...trying to fit all my stuff in my already crowded bag.
It had rained the night before, so it was a little chilly out. Like when I was in Northampton with my friend from work, England seemed sad to see me leave.
I was done and went downstairs to wait for my friend, watched the people outside pass me by...oh yeah I was kind of sad. Finally he came, we left the keys at the frontdesk before walking to Victoria Coach Station.

Breakfast in the bus, quite a line (marathon going on in Hyde Park) and getting some sleep along the way to the airport.




Security, last minute shopping, walking to the gate and then in line to board the plane...yeah everything went quite fast. The plane was fully booked so we got separated seats (he in first row and I in 10th) but even the journey back to Skavsta went by just like that *snaps fingers*.


Arrived to Skavsta at 5pm, my bus would come within 15 minutes and his bus quite quickly so we said goodbye. I found my bus and headed to Stockholm, got some sleep and all the sudden I was on familiar grounds. At the arrival place I saw my mom and sister waiting for me, this huge smile on my face before practically running out to hug them. God, I missed my girls so much!!!
It feels great to be home, although being in London was an experience I'll never forget.

Thanks for 4 gorgeous days (I mean it). Hugs.

A sleepover (since the breakfast wasn't good) and a quick walk to Harrods (it was closed at 9 am) before having breakfast at Starbucks :).

After that we split up once inside of Harrods, he was going to shop something for his family and I wanted to check out "girlie stuff"....You actually feel the delicacy in every thing you see there: jewelery, parfumes, clothes. I did find something for my mom and sister...what I wanted for me, well I couldn't buy but I did see it ^^. Tiffany's!!!!
We met outside 10 minutes later, since I was too busy talking to a lady who worked there...she was incredibly nice and funny. We headed for London Zoo (the one from Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone), passed through the same park as the day before (although without any pain).



It was fun at the zoo, I mean I adore animals and they're so funny!!! I saw this girl with her boyfriend looking at an armadillo moving around her pieces of wood and she said: Gotta move all this, the fengshui is all wrong! OMG I laughed so hard!!!
I missed my girls here, I know my sister loves jokes like that....someday I'll take 'em here to see what I've seen so far :).
Anyway, after the zoo my friend told me I should decide were to go....we were leaving the following morning and still had so much left to see (we should've been here a week or two). So my wish was for Westminster Abbey (unfortunately it was closed) but to see it outside, it was great!!
We also met Big Ben, it was gorgeous too!!!!!




Dark came upon us walking past river Thames a few times, so we took the train back to Victoria and made a quick shopping for night-snacks. I also bought a few things for my mom and sister before going back to the hotel, to pack the remaining stuff before leaving on sunday.

Night All!

I woke up early on friday October 7th, took a shower and got dressed up to meet my friend downstairs for breakfast. First I called my mom, too wish her and my sis goodmorning when I realised I was a bit late. Breakfast wasn't what we expected though...so we left for our walk. First up was doubble decker to the British Museum =). It was so cool!!



I immediately thought about "The Mummy" movies when Evie wanted to work there, then in the second they wanted her to run it as a curator....so guess what we found there: mummies from Egypt, artefacts from China, Japan, India and a little piece of home: an Easter Island statue!! Yeah okay I did think of the gum-eating one from "Night at the museum" but also that my heart has never left home ;). We had a brunch there as well, which was very dreamy hihi.
A long walk again, stopped by China-Town...saw some pretty things among other things (Beijing-duck no thanks), then stopped by Piccadilly Circus...I had only seen it in movies (Bridget Jones, V for Vendetta and What a girl wants). It was an experience! We continued to Madame Tussauds and queued for an hour!!!! But it was worth it, inside we met all the stars and important people (without the hysteria ^^).






Among the stars was my latest crush...Rob Pattinson! :) Which was so cool!!!
Well...we were there a looong time, I think my friend got a bit jealous of me getting a pic with Rob (even though he was made of wax).
We took a stroll in the park (my feet were practically numb and in so much pain) that we went to a place called Camden, in search for a pair of comfortable shoes. I found a pair...brown ones and MY GOD they were comfy!!!! My feet were in heaven and suddenly I could continue walking for hours and hours. We took 2 different buses to St Pancras / Kingscross before heading back to Victoria and dining pizza until late :)



Night you guys ;)

The morning on October 6th began at 2 am (couldn't sleep), 3.30 am (thirsty and couldn't sleep), 5 am (clock rings and I got scared)...so I got up, showered and made myself ready for my second journey on my own (without my girls). I was heading for London, England with a guy...a guy I've had a crush on 8 years ago but we've kept it in the "friendship zone". Sometimes the time is not right but if life gives you a second chance, you take it...to see what happens. =)

Anyway, right on time I take the airport coach to Skavsta....fall asleep listening to some good music and waking up to his text messages *sighs* let me sleep!! Arrived to Skavsta Airport at 8:20, yay tired and couldn't find him anywhere. Almost at the security control I found him, smiling his usual smile *I'm great, I got here on time yada yada* That's because his dad drove him and he lives about 45 minutes from the airport!
We talked for a while, before standing in line to the boarding. I was nerveous as hell...since I don't fly much I tend to get nerveous but somehow it felt okay to be with him. He can be quite funny sometimes, but his humour is a little dry. I got the window seat and we were ready for take-off...I love the feeling for flying and to be above the sky =D
A late breakfast before they were preparing to land, time really flew by while we talked on the plane. Arrived at London Stansted, got a little lost with the signs for the airport coaches to central London...but finally we got on one. Window seat again (it works to play on the girl-charm ^^) and the long journey to Victoria Coach Station...fell asleep for an hour (he woke me up). At last at the station and a short walk to the tiny hotel we were staying in.

We settled before going for a walk. Long walk through Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and then just walking around some more (yeah we got lost hahahaha). In the mean time, my bloodsugar was low so we walked in to a very nice sandwich store called "Pret a Manger"....they had the best ham toastie besides their hot chocolate....YUM!!!







We continued the walk to Oxford Street, sat in a park nearby, taking some pictures and then stopped by a few stores...among them the bookstore Waterstones to get some books. I found the book I had been looking for which was Becca Fitzpatrick's "Silence" =) then a book about Hawaii and a map-book to my sister over LA. We continued walking along Oxford, looking at some stores before my feet were starting to ache. Since it was getting kind of late, we bought some food at Marks and Spencer before taking the bus back to the hotel. We were supposed to eat in the park but there wasn't enough light and it was getting cold, so at the hotel we sat in my room =D.
Later that night, it was time for bed...so we said goodnight and agreed on eating breakfast at 7:30 am so we could begin the tour around London early.
He left and I got a shower...called home and fell asleep watching "Roadwars" on tv.
Goodnight!

Based on what happened these last coupple of days, I don't think you deserve a second chance. If you were someone else, I would've dumped your ass long ago...kind of like what I did last time but since it's you, I don't even know anymore.
Why do I feel weak after responding to my principles? And why am I missing you with all my heart when I think of the great journey we just did? The beautiful two days we spent together just having fun, laughing and learning in such a beautiful city.
Sure, you just had to ruin things at the zoo... Why can't you see that families can't be perfect and children can never be quiet, it's just the way it is and you got to accept that. If my kids didn't talk loudly at dinner, I would start to worry!
I just wish I could rip those feelings that has been hidden for 8 years, pretend they didn't exist but I can't: I still care about you, I think I even love you even though you're stubborn, a know it all and have moodswings. Maybe you've never experienced love like this but it's how I feel, so if you're not willing to give us a chance maybe we shouldn't see each other again. Because honestly, I can't take it anymore...it hurts me much more than it hurts you.
But if your feelings change let me know....if I've waited 8 years for you to tell me you love then I can wait some more. 'Cause that's what love is about: patience, stand up for each other, listen and accept that no one is perfect. 

Just so you know, I love you.
