What I've been up to lately ^.^ +purchases +outfits

Bonjour~

I wanted to wish all of you a belated happy Valentines day! Have not been on the computer much, and the days have been filled with work, eating or sleeping... On Valentines day I was working and went out to eat dinner when I finished work. Didn't do much more on that day since I was really tired. Yesterday was my last day at work, so now I can sleep and just relax the whole winter break. It's gonna be so good. And I also have time to blog, yaay! This is also my last weekend here in Mosjøen, and I am looking forward to get home to my friends. Yesterday my friend Audun came to visit, and it's so much fun being able to see him again. Just like me, he has also been working these past two weeks.

Today we went shopping! I finally got my scholarship money so I got me some new clothes. Happy~ ^.^
I will show you what I got, but first some pictures from my days here.

This is where I have been working the past two weeks. A more than hundred years old bakery. It was really great working there because everything was made from scratch and the people there was fun working with. (worked mostly with the owner since the other employee was on sick leave) 

This is the owen where the bread and cakes are baked. Really warm and good to stand by~ ^^ 

While I was there I got to help make a lot of stuff, like the danish bread I mentioned in another post that I ate for breakfast. Also been making bread, berliner, different types of cookies, and Norwegian Prince's cake (fyrstekake). I have also been managing the checkout. It was really fun talking to all the different types of customers that come in.

The things we sell

the beginning of danish pastry

Chocolate cookies~ They were super yummy when just taken out of the oven! 

A good example of my breakfast/lunch everyday o0

As for my dinner the past day, I've made different stuff. Made chicken soup one of the first days, and wok vegetables on rice with chili sauce, of course noodles, beef strips or spring rolls and onion rings. We have also been eating out sometimes.

This is actually what I ate on Valentines day. I really regret ordering this, because it was mostly mushrooms in it ( I hate mushrooms...) and the menu said nothing about mushrooms.. -.-

This has to be the best burger I've ever tasted! t's called the King Burger and it really is~

Wok veggies and rice :D

My chicken soup ^^ it's really good~

Dessert at a chinese restaurant; Banana split <3

Like I said earlier in the post my friend Audun came yesterday, and we went out to eat King Burgers again. Then our friend wanted to show us his workplace so we went there and I got to try on one of their work uniforms. They were sooo comfy! I could easily walk around in one of those all day. Had a lot of fun by taking pictures with it around the machines. (he is a mechanic)

Audun~ :D

Aw yeah! borrowed his bunny ears and card glasses ^.^

Looking good~ xD

I felt kinda small alongside all those big tricks ;o 

Maybe I'm in the wrong school, maybe I should be a mechanic :p

My legs don't look too bad in these ^^

Do I got swag? xD

Even managed to take some outfit snaps, but unfortunately only these two...

If you follow my instagram you have probably already seen this pic. I really love my faux fur hat <3

Pretty night view~ 

In honor of Valentines day;

Really liked this jacket :D perfect for when it gets warmer out

A cute top I found on sale

Socks, you can never get too many because they always disappear in mysterious ways...-.-

Really cute underwear~ ^.^

My new love <3  

I finally pursued my mom into letting me use contacts! :D

Strawberry milkshake :3 yummy ^^

<3

This was a looong post, but I hope you enjoyed reading it ^.^

Bye bye~ 

What I and grumpy cat have in common

Hi cute ones! ^^

Today I felt so incredibly bored. I seriously can't remember last time it was so bad. It wasn't because of school either, I had a lot of fun there. (Friday's at my school are usually quite chill.) It was when I got home my brain suddenly decided to remember all the funny moments that have ever happened or could happen in my life.
I have winter vacation now too, and while everyone were talking about how nice it would be to finally get a vacation, my mind went like "damn, damn, damn." And you know why? I, as the spoiled little brat I am, will for once not travel anywhere. And this vacation came so sudden that I haven't made any other plans either. What's a girl to do? "Relax", said my classmates. "Just enjoy the fact that you are free from school work and schedules next week."

It's Friday night. All that remains of my winter vacation is:

• Saturday
• Sunday
• Monday
• Tuesday
• Wednesday
• Thursday
• Friday
• Saturday
• Sunday

And I'm already bored to death.
This afternoon I couldn't sit still. I walked around the house from the kitchen to the bathroom ten times, tossed myself around on the couch for about 15 minutes, took a very long walk with my dog, and emptied the battery on both my iPod and phone.
And this is what I'm supposed to do a whole week? "Relax and take it easy"?
Good thing Gulli is finally coming home soon, cause' this is an emergency. So many people are going away on fancy vacations, and I wanna go too! >.<
If someone offered me a cheap air line ticket right now, I would take it, no matter what destination.
I'm quite impulsive about travelling, especially long distance.
Gulli, on the other hand, is a smart, young woman who thinks of all type of factors like budget, time, planning, legacy and such.
She was very keen on my idea of going to South Korea for the NU'EST concert which was just held in Seoul, but pulled out as soon as she understood that I was serious... :(
She is also concerned about stuff like where we sleep and such. I would gladly sleep at a park bench if I could attend that concert!

Just to make it clear: I'm a huge fan of vacations, but I think they are much more fun when you're going somewhere or it's nice weather at home. Right now it's cold, dark and icy outside, and people are running from one warm building to another. In other words, it's not the right season to stroll the streets or hang outside, and the conditions are definitely not right for sleeping at park benches.

Random picture of my hair taken after my good friend Tonje had braided it. You see this look all over the web these days, and I think we nailed it pretty good. (Teen swag: How many likes for this hair?? <3 <3 <3 <3 etc.)

Talking about web stuff: I have always disliked the grumpy cat, until today when I realized that we had something in common after all. I'm generally a quite cheerful and positive person, but when I first get grumpy I think we look a lot alike. 

Me when I got home.

Me when I read all the "Yaay, finally vacation! <3" statuses on Facebook. 

The more I look at that cat, the more we look alike. Crazy stuff. The blanket he got on the upper picture looks just like the hood on my jacket and everything.

Well, no one I know have more shifting mood than me, so by tomorrow I'll be a happy, "that's so cutee!!" girl again, just like I was before I got home. The kids in the lowest grades on my school performed a carnival parade today, and I was paying more attention than any of the parents. How can someone possibly think that a little kid in a self made panda mask doesn't look cute? :3

Talk to you later! ^.^ 

Happy Valentine!

Good evening/afternoon everyone! ^^

How are you all doing? Sorry for not blogging yesterday, I went over to a friend to watch a movie yesterday, and it got pretty late. I can't afford to loose too much sleep either, I need it. Some people need their beauty sleep, and I need my mood sleep. I can get really negative and depressing when I'm tired.
"Silje, do you want to go shopping today? ^^" "Noo, I just wanna lay here and sleep forever. I don't want to go out. Everyone thinks I'm ugly, I have so much school work. I need a vacation...blah, blah, blah." etc.

Today have been a very happy day, however, and I've been energetic all day. Wish I could be smart enough to use that energy to do school work instead of talking, but, oh well.
Today also happens to be Valentines day, but it's not big deal for me since I don't have a boyfriend anyway. Valentines day ain't celebrated much in Norway, and I'm kind of happy about that. Some places blow up Valentines day like it's Christmas Eve, and it must be terrible for all people with a broken heart that feels ignored or unloved >.<

Forever a single... too busy to mingle.

I don't mind being single, as it gives me more time to focus on other things. Of course I miss a boyfriend sometimes, but I've realized that the time just isn't right.
I'm more than happy if I can just keep up my grades, stay in touch with all of my friends, learn more Japanese, and keep this blog nicely up and running this spring.

I'd also like to welcome our new readers from Taiwan and Malaysia, haven't seen your countries on the list before! Great to have you with us! \^.^/

 I have a Valentines date with my readers <3

Hope to see you all around!

Much love ~

Five must-hear songs ^^

Good evening everybody!

I had a lot to do today, so it got this late before I could blog. I'm a little "reduced" by a cold too, so I really need a long night's sleep.
I was thinking of what I could  blog about that would be easy and quick to write, but at the same time somewhat interesting for you to read.
My best answer: music! My taste in music is known to be a little different than usual, especially here at home, but I'll share with you anyway. Maybe you can find something new that you like? ^^

This is basically the music I've been listening to lately, and it has a great impact on my mood. Happy, sad, strengthening or just plain crazy, here are 5 music videos for the beginning of 2013:

Nu'est - Face vs. B.A.P - Warrior. This gotta be the best mash-up of all times! O.O

B.A.P - One Shot. This was actually released today!

Skye Sweetnam - Hypocrite. No song describes myself better than this one!

B.A.P - Rain Sound. Rain and B.A.P are a perfect combo :3

Inna - More Than Friends. I'm a big Inna fan too, and she's finally releasing a new album soon!

This is really just a little peek of what I listen too (I'm more varied than people think), but if you would like to, I can post something similar with 5 new videos next time I'm in a hurry ^^

Sleep well <3

What I can't live without during winter ^.^

Morning sunshine's ~

I haven't had the time or energy to blog the last days because I'm all out of energy or don't have time... But today I'm staying home from work because I'm sick, and finally have time to catch up on the blog. So today I want to show you my winter essentials that I can't live without.

1. My bellowed knits <3
First we have the knits that I've been writing about often. I know I've mentioned before that I easily get cold and that knit sweaters, socks, skirts and even shorts are great things that help you keep warm and look good at the same time.

2. Hand cream <3
My hands can't live without a good hand cream. Because of the cold wind they get super dry really quick, and a big plus is that your hands smell super good after(warning; you might end up walking around smelling your hands for a while). Silje got me an awesome one for Christmas from soap and glory called Hand Food, and it smells really good. It even says it's got marshmallow in it, fits perfectly for marshmallow me. ^^

3. Tea <3
Good, warm tea is great after being out in the cold, and especially green tea since it's a tea with lots of benefits such as; weight loss - it increases the metabolism, heart disease - works on the lining of blood vessels, skincare - helps with wrinkles and aging signs. It can also help with diabetes, cholesterol, tooth decay, blood pressure, depression, and it's anti-viral and anti-bacterial. So it's time to start drinking loads of green ten. Green tea has actually been used as medicine in China and rest of Asia for thousands of years.

I am really looking forward to when we'll learn to make traditional green Japanese tea ceremony.

4. Tights <3
I really like wearing dresses, skirts, shorts or just really long/big sweaters, so tights are a big part of my wardrobe, both thin, medium and really thick ones. Really wish I had more with fancy pattern because I have mostly just black, grey and red tights, but I am on the look for more patterns. ^^

I LOVE the tights far to the left! <3

5. Hair oil <3
Just like Silje, I also need hair oil for my hair, especially during the winter. I don't have as long hair as her, but mine is very dry and damaged because of my failed bleaching and stuff. So now I'm trying to grow out my hair again, and the hair oil is really helping making my hair more healthy and shiny.

6. Chocolate <3
Yeah, I know I have been talking about not eating much candy and stuff, but here I'm referring more to the dark chocolate or the healthy chocolate. It is said that dark chocolate with high percents of cocoa, such as the 85% dark chocolate, is actually healthy since it contains antioxidants  It can also help control your blood sugar, is good for the brain and good for the heart. This chocolate also contains very little sugar and really helps on my mood.

7. Friends <3
During the dark days the one thing that can light up my day will always be my dear friends. They are always able to put a smile on my face. I am so glad to have my friends, and they days would be pretty boring without them. You guys know who you are, and you're awesome! ^^

I hope you liked this post, and let me know if you guys want me to make something like this again. ^.^
Bye bye~
