Black Swan

Yesterday Mickey, Rossen and I went to see Black Swan. The movie captures the audience and it is a very emotionally strong film. I love ballet and I’ve seen the Swan Lake many times so of course I loved it. Natalie Portman played her role excellent and it was nice to se Mila Kunis in a movie – I love her. Mickey said to me that I always choose to see movies about psychotic or disturbed people and he’s right. It fascinates me: the state of not being fully aware of what’s going on, what you’re actually doing or what does or does not exist. It scares me – in a fascinating way.

I recommend you to see it, it’s a must of movies to watch this year.

And God created the macaron

At Jenny‘s birthday deluxe gathering she invited us all to a macaron-orgasmic sensation with delicious macarons from Macarong.se in the flavours pistaggio, licorice, caramel, lemon and saffron (lemon and saffron being favourites!) Everyone I’ve asked has said the same thing, the macarons from Macarong.se are the best. Seeing it is quite expensive with a box of macarons I’d be devastated if I came home and noticed they weren’t top quality!

Oh, I’m tempting myself – macarons for breakfast?

Lady of honor! <3 (me sneak-a-peeking in the back)

Subscription = good Xmas gift

I’m practically done with all my Christmas gifts which is nice because I hate the stress Christmas could provide if you aren’t prepared. Ted from Tidningskungen emailed me reminding me of another clever gift – subscription to different magazines. It’s quick and easy, gotta love it. If it weren’t for the fact that my little sister doesn’t live here in Sweden I’d buy her a subscription!

Chocolate Pastries

Last night right before I was going to bed Axel and Mickey came with some chocolate pastries, boy, did I go to sleep happy and satisfied! I know I’ve stated the official start of my New Healthy Life like every day for the past three weeks but it just don’t work, I don’t believe in forcing myself not to eat goodies, I’ll simply eat it when I feel like it but I’ll try to be logical about when I actually really want it – a nice compromise don’t you think!

Now I’m up fresh and ready for todays schedule! I’ll try take photos for you guys! Now it’s time for breakfast ..

Anna’s Tao Te Ching

 

Anna‘s tao is a very inspiring blog about all the tao verses. In the verses lay such wisdom and thruth and I think most people lose track of what’s really important in life and we forget to look at what we do, both good and bad actions. Reading her blog makes me want to live life better and to the fullest; who would like to miss out on the meaning of life? Quite pointless to live then.. I am a very humble person but I strive towards becoming a better person and these verses makes me keep my head straight!

“So when everything feels really tough or difficult, remember the opposite and get into the idea of life as waves; it goes up and down, it never stays the same. When we are intensely strong and happy we should also remember that there will be a down at one point. This notion will keep us humble and grateful for the good times, since we know that they are momentary…just as the bad times are. It is easy to feel glorious and strong when all is well; we bang the drum to let everybody see our glory…and the noisier we are going up, the harder it feels to go down.”

“Nothing can ever be taken for granted and we “deserve” nothing. “Deserving” is an idea of greatness; when all is good, we say we deserved it, when it turns bad we say that we don’t deserve it. Deserve by whom? Who is this power that judges our actions – preferably in our favor? There is no such thing; we create and re-create, we ride the surf of life in both good and bad; whatever happens is still our own responsibility. We can not take credit for the good and dispense blame for the bad.” Anna’s Tao

Love being high

After work I had lunch with the whole team and then I went straight to my doctor’s appointment. Before 15 o’clock I had worked AND been at my doctor’s check up, felt good. And sitting there in the waiting room many floors up above the street it hit me how beautiful everything is; we, this city, every city, Christmas, family, friends, work, ambition – everything! I was high on life and I love that feeling!

I am a non-smoker

Jag har inte uppdaterat er om min rökfria tillvaro och hur det gått! Det har inte varit några som helst problem och jag förstår inte varför jag ens rökte?!

Man luktar konstant illa, röker cigaretter trots att det gör en illamående bara för att det är en social grej. Jag känner mig mycket fräschare nu och njuter av vetskapen att man faktiskt luktar som sin parfym, och inte en askopp!

Day 3 as a non smoker

Jaha då var vi inne på dag tre utan ciggaretter. Har inte ens tänkt på det men man säger ju att den tredje dagen är den allra värsta så det återstår att se, dagen är ännu ung! Jag har inte känt för att göra något fysiskt alls på hur länge som helst men nu är jag t.o.m sugen på att ta den där powerwalken med Jenny – framsteg utan ciggaretter kanske?  Kroppen kanske signalerar att den vill ha träning som ett påskyndande av läkningsprocessen. Man säger att efter 21 dagar, alltså 3 veckor, så är man helt fri från sådant man varit “beroende av”. Självklart gäller inte detta för rökare sedan 30 år tillbaka, eller? Visste ni att efter 3 dygn så behöver inte kroppen nikotinet längre, det är ute ur kroppen och det man hakar upp sig på är endast vanor. Bryter man sina vanor så blir det så mycket lättare så ett tips är att sluta i samband med något nytt! Jag började precis plugga på universitetet, mina rutiner ser helt annorlunda ut och då vill jag ta bort ciggaretter från mina nya rutiner!
