Home again~ ^.^

Yo everyone! 

How are you today? I just got home from Oslo and am about to go to bed, but I'll blog some first. Silje is busy preparing for a math test and is not able to blog. Wish her luck tomorrow ~ 

I am exhausted after our trip and I got so many awesome stuff! I'l show you guys next time since I don't have any photos of it here now... Got lots of Asian food and stuff, and of course clothes. ^^ 

We had lots of fun, and my feet  are aching after all the walking around Oslo. 

Me and Anja posing in our russe clothes~

Tomorrow I'm gonna wear my Russe-clothes and we're gonna get our names written at the brim of our hats. And then we can start our Russetid! :D

Now I gotta go to bed so we'll talk soon. 

Bye Bye~

Living life in Oslo + Norwegian Champions in Gastronomy!~

I think I might have forgotten to tell you guys, but right now I'm in Oslo with my class. I did tell you that we won the Gastronomy price!! Think that, we won! Were Norwegian Champions! :D
Didn't have any time to blog when we were at the competition, and after that we went to Oslo to stay for a couple of days, and since we've mostly been walking around all day here I've been too tired to even open my computer... Tomorrow is our last day so I finally found some time to write.

Me and some of my friends brought our Russe clothes here and walked around in them. So many cute, small children came asking for cards and we're almost out of all the cards we brought here. It's awesome being Russ! We took the opportunity to snap some awesome pictures in our clothes, and I'll show them to you later. ^^

Now I gotta sleep because we're going up early tomorrow for more shopping.~
Good night~ ^^

Inspirational weekend! \^.^/

Hi pretty ones!

Sorry for not blogging yesterday, I was completely burned out. We had Norwegian writing the whole day at school, and as always I was sitting alone in the end. Not that I'm such a slow writer, I just really want to do good at these tests. In fact, I want to do good at all tests, but you can't be an expert in everything. So I just give it all on those subjects I'm good at ^^
When I checked my mail yesterday, another challenge hit me. I've received the Japanese language test I have to take when we get to Japan. They sent it for giving us a chance to practice, and I'm glad they did!
Note to self: need to learn more hiragana. I really do.
It was a bit of a shock, cause' I've pictured for myself that I didn't had to know that much. In fact I thought I'd do decently with what I know now! But no... More Japanese is needed.

At the same time Gulli is down in the capital and having a blast. Well, she deserves it though. She's had a lot on her mind lately, so I'm happy she has a chance to let to of things ^^

So, what have I been up to lately? To be honest, nothing outside of the normal. Even so I feel like I've been doing so much! I guess it's because I'm thinking a lot. Thinking about my life, the future, things I want to do, things I wish for and so on. I analyze every situation to the unrecognizable, and I always predict what's going to happen  before I have a clue.
It can actually be very positive, as it gives me high hopes for the future and motivates me. I try to learn and take inspiration from my daily life, instead of just walking through it. It puts color in my life ^^
The bad sides is of course that I can get a bit carried away by my ideas, and end up disappointing myself.
Ah well... When you think this way it gives life more content.
A week ago may feel like an eternity for me.

This sort of gives a good image of my mind... 

Anyway, I have two tips for you today!

To all kawaii/Japan/fashion loving readers: Try to catch the newest episode of Kawaii International: Harajuku special. I've already watched it, and it gives a great insight on the sub culture in Harajuku. It's the most fashionable and inspiring area in whole Tokyo! (I saw so many shops I want to visit this summer.)

You have to watch the live streaming online through the official channel: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/schedule/index.html 

This is the schedule for future streaming. Tomorrow is the last day they air it, so be sure to check it out! You should check out their shows anyway, they have many interesting shows on Japanese culture. 

You can also take a look at Kawaii International's channel page: http://www.nhk.or.jp/kawaii-i/ 

Or you can find them on Facebook. A great source for inspiration! 

To everybody else: Read the book "North Korea: Nine years to escape from hell". It's completely mind blowing! It's so horrible yet inspiring to read. It is written by Eunsun Kim, a girl who grew up in North Korea but escaped with her mother and sister. The worst part is that everything is true! This book gives an incredible insight in the daily life in one of the most oppressed countries in the world. 

I don't care if you don't like books, have a fear of reading or whatever, just read it! 

And that's it for me today. Have a nice weekend, everyone! ^w^

Theater punks ;>

Hi loved ones!

Feels like it's been ages since last time I blogged. On the bright side, I'm very motivated!
I've been re-sizing and editing more pictures for the little "photoshoot" we had last weekend. The sun has finally made its arrival in the cold north (yay, sun!), so we had the perfect nautral lightning. Our theater locale also turns out to be a great photo set. It's over 100 years old, so it has such a nice, authentic feel to it.
Did you know that our theater is hunted too? It's true! We have both heard and experienced so many weird, unexplained things. I'll tell you more about that later .

Here's the pictures:

These pictures got rather unclear, sorry ~

Dancing skeleton print ^^

For this look I tried to keep the make up a little doll-like, to make a contrast. On the lower picture I'm wearing my costume (supposed to be 1920's). Maybe we should post pictures of them too?

I'm so glad the theater locale worked this good. I'm already having ideas for a bunch of other themed photo sets! That's how it works here you see; I'm getting all the crazy ideas, and Gulli ends up fixing everything... Sorry dear! :( 

Goodbye from us! ~

PS. I would like to give a big, whole-hearted thanks to our great "personal photographer" Simon! Audun helped out too ^^

A look into our theater life; fooling around with my camera~

Hello Hello Hello~

Hope you all are having a lovely Monday morning. The sun has disappeared behind the clouds for most of the day, and I already miss my bed... Luckily it's warm outside so I could ditch my big jacket today.

Like I said earlier Silje slept over at my place on Saturday, and it was a lot of fun. We didn't get to make any videos because we spent most of the time drooling over handsome k-pop boys and watching Sailor Moon. We didn't get to do much in the morning either, because of theater practice. Instead we managed to snap some photos before we started, and some of them became quite good.

Wiii~ 

I'm starting to feel the stress come over me since it's not that much time left until premiere, as well as our exams.. >o<
I also need to get my cosplay for Desucon this year, and prepare for our trip to Japan. I think I'm gonna cosplay Miku from the song magnet, and maybe someone from Panty and Stocking? Really need to get my ass moving and order soon!

Got my last package with Russe stuff as well a couple of days ago, and now I'm so looking forward May! Got a hoodie which you can see on the top picture, and a light blue fluffy fleece jacket. I love them! They are so warm and comfy, perfect for May.

I have Norway on my bum~ ^^

This is the only picture I have right now of the fleece. I can't express how much I like it. Sooooo fluffy~ ^w^
Oh and do you know what I did today??


I took my first bath outside in the sea! :D

Freezing cold ><
Now I'm off to sleep
Bye Bye~

Sleep Over~

Good evening ^.^

Today Silje is sleeping over here~ Wiiiii, girls night. ^.^
We've been listening to K-pop and watching anime until now, but we just remembered that we have theater practice tomorrow morning at 11am... So we need to sleep.
We'll try to make a video or at least take some photos tomorrow. I don't have much to write about right now, so I'll show you some super cute videos that we watched earlier today.~ Hope you like, I know we did. \(^o^)/

Adorable Pikachu video #1 - This one is soooo cute >3< I think the song is the ending of clannad or something. (correct me if I'm wrong..)

Now I better turn of the computer so Silje can get some sleep.. :p
Good night you lovely people~

Kick start spring :D

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

 Good night and sweet dreams ~
