you know I've been to sea before

I just cooked and ate dinner and made a lunchbox. It's been a while since I did that. Today has been good for no reason. I didn't do great in class and I haven't been practicing enough nor did I do any exercise. But I feel good about today.

Tomorrow I'm going to start working for beach 2012, since I just now joined a gym that's so close to school, it's amazing. Now I'm gonna take a shower and do something creative instead of just chill. I have no time to chill, unless I will drive myself crazy in the future with all the school projects.

So I didn't get my arranging done, nowhere near done. Hardly started is the correct word for it if I have to be honest. BUT! I have new ideas, and this I promise myself to have on paper at the end of this week!



Heading to London Centre of Contemporary Music now. See you later!

halloween




After yesterdays Halloween Party and lack of sleep since I came home about 6.30 am today, I figured that we needed a detox night with McD and mudmask.

Happy Halloween People!

on ships across seas

Last day of yoga went not too good. But I don't mind, I'm so flexible now and I feel great, even though my diet the past week and a half has been worse than terrible.

I've been sad on my was home from the studio, thinking about grandad again. Of course listening to Time to say goodbye. So now when I came home I translated it, and the song is even better now than it was before. And I loved it before. I don't know how good the translation is, but you get the whole point of it anyways.

When I’m alone
I dream on the horizon
and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room where the sun is absent,
if you are not with me, with me.
At the windows
show everyone my heart
which you set alight;
enclose within me
the light you
encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye
to countries I never
saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer.
It’s time to say goodbye…

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
and, Yes, I know
that you are with me;
you, my moon, are here with me,
my sun, you are here with me,
with me, with me, with me.

Time to say goodbye
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer,

with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you,
I with you.

Because there was a lack of pictures

Lets face it

You know, as a girl, everything changes a bit more every damn month of the year for about 45-50 years of our life.

Two days ago I felt that things were going good, I was on it and this second year is doable. Yesterday I felt hopeless and clueless. Today I'm just happy.

Now I'm going to school, and I think today will be great. I only have on class but I have a few hours I'm gonna practice and try to get started on my projects. They're not easy, but that's the whole point you see.

wish you were here

I had such a bad night. I woke up every two hours. From dreams, from cars, from nothing and from alarm clock. I don't feel too tired right now, but I feel that I just wasn't sleeping right.

I had a dream about my family. Nothing special. But my grandad was there, and we were smiling and laughing, and we were so happy. It was so real. So the thought of never seing him in this life again feels so wrong. But I'll keep that happy dream with me.

what a day!

So today my bf happened to take my keys with him, and I happened to forget my wallet at home. And then I happened to go way way to early to the yoga, and it just happened to rain. After trying to get in thouch with my bf, with no luck getting the keys, I decided to go back to the yoga, since I still couldn't get into the house.

And guess what, I had such a great class, with a 15 min power nap before we started.

Came home and ate pizza and sweets after 9 hours of starvation. I feel good!

I work til I ache my bones

Good morning.

I was so tired today when I woke up, and then I slept for almost 8 hours too!

I just finished a skype session of 45 min with my mum, and now I have two hours worth of practice ahead. We have so much to do, but it's really hard to know where to put the focus. Anyways, I start somewhere and the rest will come.

LATER!

oh oh oh

I forgot that I have to go earlier to school. So my plans doing some shit here at home didn't quite work out. Plus I have to take a route over to my job to pick up some drumsticks from the bff!

I ain't gonna face no defeat

And yesterday, finally, we got to know pretty much everything we need to do for our exams in the vocal perspective. It's so much to do and that's actually why I didn't go to yoga today... just so that I get get a head start with picking songs for arrangement etc.

I'm a bit freaked out, but I like the challenge too!

Got no feel, I got no rythm

Yesterday was a long day. I woke up at 5.15 to go to the yoga cass at 6.45. That was awesome! It's so cool that after just 11 times I can see such big difference, and I feel great.

But after that it just kind of went down hill. Or not really, but I ended up eating way too much sweets to manage to stay awake during long and not too exciting classes. And it didn't work eigher...

Band practice was okay, but not as efficient as I really want it to be if we're gonna do something good for the recording and for the end of term gigs.

So I came home just before 10 pm, hungry as a monster and with pms. That just turnes me into a monster. I had a fight with the bf and now I don't know what the future will bring. I want to continue to live here, but now I don't know what's gonna happen. I think I need help for my moods. I just can't control myself at all...

why don't you do right?

I realized that there was a key change coming up, and then another one, so I had to finish it. And now I'm done. Theory on a different level, very good practice for me, so I'm just glad. But a bit tired too!

Now I'm gonna take a shower and jump into bed. My bf should be home before midnight.

Since Friday is my last day of Bikram Yoga, I want to go every day, so I have to get up at 5. 15 tomorrow. But it's so hard to wake up when it's cold and dark outside!

my analyst told me

Now I've been doing an anaysis of the song and it's chord progression. Or, I've done half of it, but it pretty much repeates itself, so I will consider myself done with this part.

The next step will be to look at the melody and see of what number of the scale it's on, and from thereon I think I have something!

Time to do some more studying, but not with this.

ploughman help

After having a nerdy chat with my nerdy friend Viktor, I feel that I might be able to do something with my arrangement I have to do for me and a double bass. I don't know what yet, but I'm sure this will be good!

LIQUORICE LOVE!


when you get the time

Sundays... I like them, because then I can do everything I don't have time for during the week. Like cleaning and washing.

I did yoga today. OMG I'm getting so good at it, it's such a shame I only have 5 more days to go. Then I'm joining the gym!

I've been cooking and eating the things that got ready, in the order they came out ready to eat.

Now I'm gonna be a good girl and do all the other things I need to do; homework for next week. Yes, that's that... so off me go!

What I would do to spend the day with You.



Good morning. I'm tired and I would rather spend my day with my dad and his friend. But I have to go to work. But I don't mind, I kind of like working too. But here's my grumpy and tired face. No makeup in the world wanted to help me look bright and shiny today.

good times

Seing my dad and his friend today was great. We ended up going to Zuma, the modern Japanese place my dad and I came across in 2009. It was still that fucking amazing. Food orgasm.

Just a thing I want to clear of my mind before I go to bed. If you can't drink alcohol without losing your judgement, you shouldn't really be drinking at all.

mjuuu

Didn't do much studying, but I did share some information. Now I'm so tired you have no idea. My dad and his friend want to party tomorrow, so I better get some sleep!

I got no common sense

Hello my friends.

Not much to say about today.. Classes and yoga. Then home, eat and watch some series. Now, when the time is getting a bit late I'm gonna try to get some studying done.

Oh, and my dad and his friend came over to London today. So tomorrow means no choire and no yoga. Sport car and restaurant instead. Not complaining at all!

oj!

I had a pretty shitty start of today. But things are going so much better now.

home sweet home

I have cooked dinner for an army and made lunch boxes for the week. It's maybe a bit boring to eat the same thing every day, but hey. I'm a student, so it's cheaper and I don't have time for cooking.



Then I have cleaned the flat. I would say spotless to be honest. I really love this place, and as said before... for the first time since I moved to London, I feel at home. Hopefully we will stay here for some time, so that we can fill it up with furniture and stuff. I would like to say that this is the first time I moved away from home, even though I moved twice before. Not a single thing in this place belongs to any member of family or the landlord. Great feeling.

Now I'm going back to practice on the keyboard until my bf and his friend comes home!

aaaa h

The yoga is so good I can't explain. I wish I could continue for more than 20 days, but I will not pay 149 pounds a month for it, even though I might go six days a week and love it. I just rather Pay almost a whole years fee a gym I found super close to school.

Anyways. I have to cook now, and clean. My bf and I are having a guy staying here for a few nights, so I don't want it to be too messy when he gets here.

yogayoga

Time to run to the store before heading to Yoga.
It's so nice with the Bikram Yoga in days like these when it's getting colder. It's not bad to do some stretching in 40 degrees for 90 min. Try it!

Day in, Day out

When my grandad died my mum asked me if I could ask if he could be placed in a memorial page on FB. Today I remembered and to be able to do so I had to find a news page from the accident. Even though I've seen what the car looked like after it hurts me so much when I think about it.

There is not one single day when I don't think about you Grandad. I miss you, hope everything is good wherever you ended up.

IT'S ALIVE!

People! I'm back. Or my computer is alive again,

I've had such a good week, but now I can't remember anything to say about it. And so today I'm off. I'm trying to sort my computer out, since the charger is fucked. And the new one doesn't work just yet. Ironic that the old one decided to work today...

Yesterday I was working and was quite busy. Later I went out with my friend Jack and his friends. Good fun to go out. Haven't done that much lately. And so tonight I'm going out again. My old co-worker and friend Raphaela is moving back to Brazil soon so we're having a leaving party.

Oh and Yoga is great. I'm trying to go every day, but sometimes shitty things like trafic stops me. So today, since some of the tubes are suspended, I have to go even earlier.

But right now I have to decide what jazz standard I want to sing alongside a double bass. Jazz and I aren't that close to eachother, yet, so it all kind of sounds the same after a while...

just a bit disappointed

Today was so good!

I loved being in school. The classes went well and it was most chill.
Then I went with my bf to indulge with pizza and then a visit to the cinema with bags of sweets.

We ended up seing Abduction with the wolf guy from Twilight, Taylor something. I must say it was the shittiest crap I have seen since... The Killers with Ashton Kutcher. It was so bad I laughed out loud and my bf had to pull faces. It was so bad that I'm so glad that it's over. I feel a bit sad that I litterally waisted two hours of my life for complete bullshit. But everything else just seems better after watching it too, so in a way I'm glad.

TEAM EDWARD FOR LIFE!

POOF

Hey people. I feel bad because I have been chillin the whole evening. It has been so much going on at school so that I don't really know where to put my head when I get home. I did the dishes and made some dinner, then chill and Skype home.

I feel that I need more info about what needs to be done for every module, so that I can start planning and working on the projects. There are gonna be many of them too, so I just wanna get started.

I think a shower and back to bed will do.

Blast off, sure shot

I fell alseep really early yesterday, and I woke up at 7 am this morning. I think I slept about nine hours and I didn't wake up when my bf came home from work. So I feel kind of rested, but also still very tired. I think my medicin is messing around with me.

I'm gonna try to get up and do some exercise, and then go to school to practice before class that starts at 1 pm. But right now I just wanna stay in bed and sleep some more.

And out comes a man from Mars

First day at school was actually really challenging. I'm glad, and nervous too. But now I've spent a few hours sorting my life out and listinging to Rapture by Blondie, that we have to learn tomorrow. And now I just wrote it down on paper. First of all, it's A LOT of text, and second of all... I just realized that we (as in I) don't use our handwriting as much. I'm doing most of my writing on the computer. So my hand muscles are tired now. But I have the lyrics, totally worth it!

school start for real

Well good morning.

I've watched a film, which I did not intend to. But I still have about 1,5 hours before I have to go to school. I will do some exercise and some warming up my voice before I leave. I'm so excited and a but nervous too!

SKYPE WITH MUM!


sun, wash, sing

It was so freaking hot and the grass was iching every single part of my body. But I loved it!

Now I have been washing som more and singing since 5 pm. I love it!

Lets go out!



I'm so happy I feel better again. I haven't been that sick for a very very long time. The only thing that's wrong with me now is my head. But I think you cant cure that. But I do have a constant headache, probably from medicin and maybe not enough water.

I'm heading out now anyways. Last day of doing nothing until... I don't know. But I'm excited.

SUNSHINE !

I just can't believe the weather here in England. The whole week has been so fantastic and hot. It's too bad I only could go out yesterday, after work. I wore a short dress and even after sunset, it was hot.

Today, wow. I'm off, it's 11 am and I'm just doing some washing before I'm heading out. I bet next week things are gonna change and the rain will come back and bring its misery. But right now, wow, I love this city.

am I in trouble now

Yesterday I was well enough to go back to work. From now on I can only work at my job one day a week, maybe half of a Friday too.... So right now I am a bit nervous because I don't have that much to live on at tha moment. But I'm sure I will find a job so that I can work evenings after school too. But I need to act now, in the following week because once I get into school I know I'm just gonna put everything else on delay.
