We are two norwegian girls with a big passion for life. We love fashion, beautystuff, traveling, food and discovering new people and cultures :3 This blog is basically gonna be a happy blog, where you can read to get encouraged, inspired and hopefully learn new things ^.^
Do not hesitate to comment, follow, and tell us what you want to read about! Our goal is that after one visit on Sakura Kiss, you will feel better and want to visit again!
I'm so so so sorry I haven't blogged in ages! The past week I've been either busy or totally out of energy. School just finished and the long awaited summer vacation is finally here!
On the 23rd was our half year anniversary! Amazing to think that we have been writing here for 6 months. We couldn't have done it without you guys that have been following us so far. Thank you for visiting the blog and giving us the spirit to keep on writing. I know we have our moments when we are totally out of inspiration and have absolutely nothing to write about, but hopefully we'll be able to get our self together now that we have made our first video. Yes you read right. We have recorded a video for you guys since it was our anniversary. It's kind of like an introduction video of our self and the blog.
Since this is our first video it's not very professional, but hopefully they'll be better in the future.
I hope this makes up for our lack of updates lately, at least from me... Silje has been better than me the past days. ^^
Sorry for my lack of blogging lately... Guess who was lucky enough to get drawn in math for tryout oral exams too? Oh yeah. The math is seriously following me. I'll probably get drawn in math for the real oral exam at Friday as well ._.
In other words, I've been stuck inside preparing my tasks until yesterday, and today, of course, my class had to take a long bus ride in order to visit a quarry (?). It's quite common for businesses and other workplaces here to invite school classes. They want to convince us that a bright future awaits us right here in our local community, and that it's not necessary for us to move anywhere else. Nowadays most young people on the Norwegian countryside move to the cities to work and live, and it has turned into a problem in many areas.
Oh well, I think they should have credit for trying. Even though I think every person should get an opportunity to decide for themselves what they want to do with their lives, before anyone else tells them what's smart or not.
Anyway, Gulli and I have decided that we'll make an introduction video of ourselves and the blog for our half year-anniversary! It will (hopefully) be up on the date itself, which is 23rd of June ^^
I'm a bit nervous for showing all of you our crazy personalities, bad sense of humor, and weird accents... But it's about time to show ourselves! Heh...
Since there's no doubt you guys have a lot of interest in fashion, I'm thinking about making more fashion posts soon. It takes a bit more work than ordinary posts, but I think it's fun and I learn a lot by researching different sub-trends. I hope you will enjoy them as well! ^.^
Now I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Friday night, talk to you later! ~
PS. To all of our readers in center Europe that's been affected by the flood: I hope all of you are doing all right, and that things soon will return to normal!
Good evening all sweet and tough ones out there! ^^
I know it's been a lack of blogging lately, sorry for that. We have both been quite busy as always, and I had to catch up on some schoolwork.
When I walked home from school today I realized how quickly time has passed. Suddenly it was birds and sprouts on the threes, even though it was cold and silent just two weeks ago. Spring may arrive late, but it arrives fast! I also realized that when April has passed we will be four months into this year. (Yeah yeah, I know that's pretty obvious.) Add another two months and half of 2013 will be gone! Doesn't it sound weird?
I mean, I'm still waiting for the year to get fully started!
Anyway, our theater practice starts 11 am tomorrow, and since I'm home alone I have to walk (around half an hour), make breakfast (around 45 mins; I need time to enjoy my tea), pack my stuff for the sleepover at Gulli's place tomorrow night (around half an hour, if I'm effective), and of course get ready and decide what outfit to wear in the unreliable spring weather (an hour ++).
Which all together means I have to get up too early. That's why I have to make a short and quick blog post!
(But as you may noticed I spent a lifetime writing WHY is had to be short, so my plan failed...)
I thought I'd share some of my music fav's with you. As nature is renewing itself, so is my iPod, and I've been trying out all types of music lately. (Which resulted in a broken headset, r.i.p)
2NE1 - I am The Best. Forever a classic.
PSY - Gentleman. Just in case some of you actually haven't seen it yet.
G-Dragon - Michi Go. Just when I thought no music video could get more random than Crayon, he comes up with this...
WARNING: This video will make you go: WTF?? Guaranteed.
Supercell - Feels so Good. I know it seems a bit sexual according to the title and illustration, but it's really just a cute, jazzy song about weekends. And it's in Japanese, for those who wondered.
That's it for now! Come back later and see what happens when Gulli and I spend 24 hours together without a break... o.o
Do you know what days you get done the least? Those with a lot of free time! Wow, I had so much time on my hands today, which could have been used to work out, plan a longer, more intelligent blog post, or have a little photoshoot with all the stuff I received from Japan the other day, but no...
More about the Japan stuff will come later though. I ordered two pairs of shoes from Rainbowholic, a lifestyle blogger which I happen to be a great admirer of ^.^
Oh, it's my turn at the bathroom already... Think of something good to blog about, Silje, think now...
Well, let me just say that you have something to look forward too! The spring has finally arrived here (slowly), so now we'll be able to take more pictures outside :D
I'm having a lot of ideas like video blogging, an-almost-professional photoshoot and long posts, all we need to do is get to work! ^^
Today I felt a sudden urge for Japan (that tends to happen at least once a week), so I've been searching the internet jungle for kawaii this and kawaii that. (Hm, so that's where my afternoon went.)
I see at lot of girls commenting things as "one day I'll go to Japan, it's my biggest dream", and I feel really blessed since I know I'm going there this summer! It's outside the sakura season though, but I guess you can't have everything at once ^^
A new website for Japan lovers all over the world will be opened tomorrow (today for those in a timezone further east); Japan Lover! It seems so promising, and I found the most touching video the crew made for promoting Japan o.o
I guess this proves that I'm a Japan Lover, as it actually made me fell a tear... Can't wait to go!
Oops, I did it again... Now you probably thought I was gonna say: "SORRY I FORGOT TO BLOG YESTERDAY!! :((", but nope.
That is true of course, but the particular thing I messed up with this time was school work. School work that I was supposed to deliver digitally during the winter break.
Have I delivered it? No.
Have I written it? No.
Have I started to write it? Haha, nope.
When should I start to write it? NOW.
What am I doing? Blogging.
Luckily it's a rather simple text about "my hobby". I have a bunch of weird hobbies, but when it comes to writing it down, my brain goes blank. I don't have any hobby it's easy to write about.
Hobbies I could (not) write about:
Watching Korean music videos. Yeah, I do that a lot. But isn't it a little hard to explain why? Something tells me that my teacher doesn't share my passion for Asian boys dancing and rapping so fast that not even Koreans can understand, all while wearing such creative fashion that Joan Rivers eyes would probably pop out. Well, it her loss.
Watching anime. I do that a lot too! Still, as a hobby it's not so much to tell about, unless my teacher want me to go in detail in the different series. (Which I doubt she will). Well, it's still her loss.
Acting and working in a theater. Yes, that may have some more substance, but still I don't exactly what to write. And I must admit, knowing my teacher, that she would expect me to throw in a lot about theater history. Yaay. No.
Walking my dog. No wait, that's not a hobby.
Sitting for many hours in a row, always at the same cafe with Gulli. But what am I supposed to write about? Our conversations? I doubt my teacher would be interested in that. (Hint: the two upper points on this list.)
Blogging.... That could work! I'll just write why I blog, how often, what I've learned from it etc.
Then, sweet people, I'll just go and write a little text about blogging, and to be more effective I'll just add this post as a part of the text! :D (Do you think I have to translate it? Noo, she'll understand.)
Before I go I must make sure that you all watch this hilarious video, which always make me laugh so hard I can't breath. Once you watched it you'll probably understand why people say I have a bad sense of humor.
Admit it, you smiled at least once.
Now I gotta hurry and write that text before it's Monday ^^
Hello, my rays of sunshine! ^^ (wow, that's creative)
Last night when I couldn't sleep, I found myself to be in the poetic corner. So I wrote a description of myself in my dairy, going like this: "Silje, you are much like a flower. Whenever the sun shines and everything is well, you blossom along with all your colors and all your glow. But as soon as a little shadow comes in front of you, you pull back all your flower petals and become a regular, boring plant. You need to learn to be more sensitive for sunlight, so that you can shine during dark times too! ^^"
When I read it again this morning I didn't understand why I made it so complicated. "Silje, honey, you have seriousmood swings. Do something about it." That's how I should have written it.
Anyway, I'm happy now! It's Friday and I can finally stuff in on chocolate and candy like the sinful girl I am.
The weather at home now is seriously crappy; I feel so sorry for all the tourists that have taken their time to visit now. I hope you make it home alive, and that you don't break any bones on the icy roads.
I would also like to apologize on behalf of the Norwegian weather gods. They suck.
As you might understand, I need a vacation. Kind of ironic since I have a vacation right now, but it's not the type of vacation I need.
Key elements for a successful, tropic vacation:
Temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.
A good place to buy yummy, cheap ice cream.
A little shop that fulfills all your cravings for sun lotion, soda in foreign tastes, weird candy, aloe vera-gel, and plastic flowers to put in your hair.
A beach bar or pool bar that makes excellent fruit shakes.
Cheap massage and manicure/pedicure.
A little market to fulfill the rest of your needs after you've been to the little shop.
At least one good restaurant that have something you like.
At least one, fancy place where you can dress up with all the summer fashion outfits you brought, but can't use on the beach.
Good summer music.
Some hot guys.
Key elements for a not-so-successful tropic vacation:
Sunburn. Serious sunburn.
All kinds of diseases like infections, wounds and diarrhea.
Insects. Insects everywhere.
Evil monkeys.
Evil animals in general.
Scary people that speaks way to fast or way to slow.
Jellyfish. Especially those who hunt many together.
Others from your home country that acts like morons.
Men who wants to marry you after knowing you for three seconds.
Men who doesn't take no for a no.
Bikinis and swimsuits that doesn't fit you.
Well, it's going to be a long time before I can experience any of the above again. Not that there's anything wrong with going to Tokyo for the summer, but that's a different type of vacation. In fact, I think I might make a good/bad-list for city vacations too.
As it is now, any place would do good! >.<
How I feel these days (if you haven't watched this video yet: DO IT) :
You gotta love that woman.
Talk to you guys soon, and hopefully the weather is better where you are! :D
Late night-post from me. I should be going to bed, I'm really burned out. I had one of my "thinking days" today, it's when all types of philosophic and depressing thoughts hit my mind at a random moment and I end up thinking about it the whole day. It can be really exhausting to think too much, and my brain just doesn't have an off-button. >.<
Thought I'd share this lovely video from Vimeo. It's called "Sayonara Nippon" (Farewell Japan), and is basically a short movie a guy made after travelling there. This guy obviously is a genius when it comes to movie-making, and he managed to capture all those tiny moments that makes life beautiful :3
Since I'm going to Japan, it's especially fun for me to watch!
It's uploaded to YouTube as well, but I couldn't find a link to upload it directly on the blog :/
I'm sure you all manage to click on the link, though :D
Let me know what you think of it, or even better, let the creator Kyle Kien know by leaving a comment on YouTube! ^^ Sayonara Nippon on YouTube
We'll try to make a longer post tomorrow, and we'll continue on our "Project: Cool Header". (Everything needs a fancy name these days.)
