Dear Sofia

I wanted to dedicate this post to a random person I met at the hair salon two months back. Her name is Sofia. Sofia saved my bangs that day, by saving I meant trimmed it so that I can finally see again (it was way too long). I actually went to that hair salon randomly. I googled nearby hair salons that had drop in hours and I found that one. Not did she only trim it but she also refused to accept any payment from me due to the fast/four minute service. I kept telling her that I wanted to at least pay something but she refused…Instead, she gave me her business card. I felt guilty yet happy. It’s always nice to meet people like her so I am dedicated this post to Sofia. Thank you Sofia, you rock.

(expect a random lunch drop soon…)

Expectations

What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you read that word out loud? “Expectations” ? Is it a negative word or a positive?

Whenever I hear that word I think about, success, failure, sadness and happiness at the same time. I used to have expectations a lot in the past because I always thought positive back in the days but in the end, I realized that doing that would just hurt my feelings. I am not saying that you should think negative, not at all. My point is that if you have high expectation of things, you’ll end up getting disappointed and hurt. Nowadays, I end up not getting too excited over things and just take it as it comes. Sometimes, people might say things in the heat of the moment and when the time actually comes, they have already changed their minds. It has happened to me so many times and I just ended up changing my way of thinking to make me feel better.

So next time when you hear some news, take it as comes, don’t get super excited. That’s my advice for you.

But then again, you can do whatever you want. I am just a goofball writing this early in the morning whiles eating pizza, don’t listen to me.

5 Retro Games You MUST Play!

There are so many good retro games out there that hasn’t been played/heard of or discovered by people. I decided to make a video of one of my favorite classic games that I recommend anyone who is interested to play. Of  course, I have a lot of other games on the shelf that deserves to be on that top 5 but fear not! I will make more of these. I just wanted to choose some games that were on three different consoles/platforms rather than just one.

If you want to know more about this list then go ahead and watch it.

Stupid Things Swede’s do

Yeah yeah, the title might be a bit “mean” but it’s okay because I am a Swede too, right?

But seriously, this is something I need to vent out on (or Rant out on) Some  of these things can apply to other people in different countries too, I am just writing these based off experiencing them myself here in Sweden (exclude the airplane one. You’ll know what I mean by that when you’ll watch the video)

I could write everything down if I wanted to but because I’ve made an awesome video, I decided to just paste it here for those who want to watch something instead.

Sit back and enjoy my rant. Oh and Merry late/belated Christmas!

Italy, Venice

IMG_5641

Currently in Italy strolling around Venice. It’s a beautiful place here and I feel so comfortable around here. People are happy, enjoying themselves in the sun. Eating Gelato, food and laughing out loud. I’ve always wanted to visit Italy and I finally did. It was on my to-do list for years and I was never able to go until recently. I came down here with someone special to me which made the whole trip even better. I don’t want to go back.

It’s not About the Money

There are so many people that I’ve met in my life that have complained about their jobs and how unhappy they are with their situation.

I understand that it can be hard to find something you love to do and the struggle of finding something interesting to study. What I don’t understand is that people who has a job, complains that they don’t like their job. I am not saying it’s wrong to vent out about your situation but if you really are unhappy then why the hell are you working at that place?? People might not admit this but the real reason behind this is because it’s scary and it might lead to discomfort when quitting your job.

When I mention the word scary, I don’t mean it like it’s spooky, I mean it like the world out there is scary and leaving your job might get you into a situation you might not like. Getting into a situation that you’re not familiar with might make you a bit worried, it could be that you won’t find a new job anytime soon and you have to keep spending your savings (if you even have any). Perhaps you find another job that doesn’t give you the same wage (that is mostly the case if you change your roll). All of these things might leads to discomfort. But if you don’t make any changes, how are you gonna move on? How are you gonna grow and be happy? Is money really everything? People got it all wrong. Even if you earn a lot of money but you’re doing something you hate 40 hours a week, 160 hours a month, then what’s the point? This is what I hate with the society.

Someone I know is studying to become a doctor so I asked her one day why she wanted to be a doctor and her answer was: “Duh because of the money” I seriously got speechless when she said that (and then I scolded her afterwards for saying that)

I would NEVER want to be treated by someone who is a doctor due to the wage, what kind of bull is that? That makes me uncomfortable. It makes me feel like the person don’t want to help me at all. This is a major problem, people are getting the wrong idea. Becoming a doctor is about helping people not stealing money from them. Sigh, we’re living in a sad world. This is only one example out of many but you get point where I am going with this.

I was at the hospital the other day (long story) and this nurse told me she was working overtime (not sure if she was complaining or not) and then I said – “It’s good that you love your job” she looked at me and chuckled, “Not really I am just doing it because the pay is really good” she laughed out loud when she said that. I then smiled awkwardly back and said “You should’ve probably not have said that right before poking that needle in me” she laughed out loud once again (she thought I was joking but I was not). Things like this makes me angry. I know there are people out there that don’t know what they want to do but they keep doing their same routine over and over again. I am not saying she should change her job but she could’ve at least kept it a bit professional rather than mentioning that she’s doing it for the money.

It’s not about the money, it’s about happiness.

Stuck at home

I didn’t think I’d be stuck in bed this week. I feel like someone has punched my stomach 100 times in a row and I feeling the after effect of the result. I want to do things but I can’t, I feel so unproductive. Doing nothing sucks and I have no patience at all. It’s quite funny that I am reacting this way. People would normally love being stuck in bed, watching movies all day and just chill. I am quite the opposite, I want to go to work and be creative. Meh, no streaming too…boo.

Oh well, enjoy this awesome photo from Disneyland. Pineapple icecream…take me back.

Engagement Party

IMG_4717

One of my friends from high school (six form) got engaged recently and decided to throw a party with his close ones. It’s insane how fast time has gone by. I remember years ago that we were sitting in this coffee shop having lunch and he mentioned this chick he started dating. I remember how he described her and how much he liked her back then. That was like 7 years ago! I ended up seeing some other high school friends there too that I hadn’t seen for over 5 years! It was nice catching up and talking about the good ol’ times. I ended up dancing for hours in my sky high heels and I couldn’t feel my feet after 7 hours haha. And no, I wouldn’t normally wear pants for a engagement party but I thought heck I am gonna do it anyways and I rocked that outfit. (ps. to see the rest of the photos you need to click on the title) I apologize for the bad quality photos, it was a bit dark.

I am so happy for the both of them and I hope that they live a happy and a healthy life. I am so looking forward to the wedding! Congratulations!
