Zumba tonight?
Aisha been on my back for months to go to zumba with her, so tonight i have too.. No more excuses, which kind of sucks, just had shit loads of cinnamon buns, so not really in the mood to go work out, but more in the mood to go and cuddle up on the sofa with some tea and more cinnamon buns. Just have to force myself through this :(
Still no success in the job search.. :(
This picture was taken the other day on Giovanas leaving due.. Was really nice to get out of the house for ones, we had such a laugh.. Was one of the funniest night in such a long time, couldn't stop laughing, but had to get out when the girls started to try to hook me up with random guys in the bar.. LOL
Back to the job search, not much happening, still sending away loads of CVs.. But not really getting any replies. This makes me wonder if there is anything wrong with my CV, because someone should get back at me. I mean someone must want to hire me, I have two degrees, and am generally a good worker.. :(
FUCK!!
Just spilled a whole FUCKING cup of tea in my bed.. Doing some work on my laptop sitting in bed.. Yeah yeah i know, my bed isn't an office, but whatever.. obviously whilst doing my work i'm drinking tea.. n guess what I spilled the whole big-ass mug in my bed.. Everyone that knows me, knows i like big mugs, so yea my whole bed was dripping.. Changed the sheets as fast as i possibly could but wasn't quick enough, so had to dry my madrass with a hairdryer.. And have some very suspect stains on my madrass now.. Whatever not something people will see as there is a sheet over.. And My room smells nice of Roiboos and vanilla now.. So i guess my tea wasn't totally wasted.. Now back to work.. Need to apply for more JOBS!!!

Could things get any more depressing around here? Thank god i'm going out for drinks tonight, i need a change in
Can't sleep.. :(
Can't sleep, so have been playing with photoshop off pure boredom.. made my dress look a bit more yellow than it is.. WellI guess that would have taken just a second for someone that is good with photoshop, but i didn't really listen in those classes.. Lol Gonna try to sleep now, given up on SATC, watched 3 episodes but still awake, will probably put on Me myself and Irene, that movie never fails me.. (touch wood) And hopefully i'll be asleep in a moment.. :(
just a thought..
Went for my morning walk today again, been so long since i have been.. Haven't been going on my walks, or to church for that matter.. Don't know been way to down lately, but that is changing NOW. Gonna start going at least each other day on my walks, and def have to start going to church again, there is absolutely no excuse for not going, can't believe i haven't been for a months now.. Specially coz i like going.. I even like my walks, really don't know why I haven't been going, just def need to get myself a hat, was bloody freezing this morning, weird though, coz i think it was actually minus degrees, which it usually isn't here..
Gonna go to bed in a moment, am on season II of sex and the city now.. Watching this makes me wonder something, i mean don't get me wrong, i love SATC, but has that show made my generation, the woman that grew up with the show, fucked up. I mean Carrie keeps forgiving Big, and in the end of the day he changes and they become a happy, loving rich couple, etc... Has that made that we think that guys will change in the end, that we can make them change? I know so many girls that keep guys around them who are fucked up, is it because we believe in fairy-tales? Do we really believe that guys will change, or are we just too lazy to go out there and find someone better?
I don't know, I just know that I would not have the energy or to be honest the strength to keep forgiving the same guy over and over again, obviously in Carries case it worked out for her. But let's be honest, SATC isn't real, if it would be, there would not have been a happy ending, but he would have been the same, till the end of the day.
One more thing, not just for your own sake find a guy who is good to you, someone you don't have to change, but do it for his sake too. Because no-one can be happy if his/her other half keeps trying to change him/her.. Just a thought..
Peace out for now
Want a new watch..
OMG i'm in love
I absolutely want this watch, the only thing is, will i get tired of it? I mean with all the colours it probably won't go with anything i wear.. But isn't it gorgeous?! It's by TRIWA, which is a Swedish brand, which i actually had never heard of until now, but will def keep an eye on this brand, and the best thing is, the wristband seems to be made of plastic instead of ceramics, which is good, as it doesn't break as quickly..
Bed time..
Gonna go to bed, i know it's early, the boys are just heading out to work now.. But been out in the cold all day and really tired. Will put on some season one sex and the city, and hopefully fall asleep quite quickly. By the way, does anyone remember how much fun SATC was before it became this huge success? Don't get me wrong, I still love it, every single episode, and both movies are so funny! But I love how things were so un-expected in the beginning..
It's one of the few shows were one can actually see friendship the way it is, people just somehow treat each other real.
Now i'm really off, night people. Peace out
German market.. :)
Except being at work and applying for jobs, today has been really nice.. Met Jay & Dan in town, and have been chilling at the German market most of the day, eating nasty german sausages, and drinking beer.. When it got too cold we went to a bar near by and played pool.. Which i suck at big time, but a nice guy showed me some tricks ;)
He was actually really cute, and really flirty too.. :p
I'm off now, gonna have housemate meeting..
Peace Out
Dan & me at the market..
I (L) Starbucks!
Just have to say this, I doubt there is anyone out there who loves Starbucks more than me.. I know their coffee is way more expensive than any other places coffee, but you know what, maybe it's worth it! Specially there Signature Hot chocolate!! LOVE IT!! I don't think I know anyone else that has a starbucks mug on the screensaver, or drink my hot milk out of only my favorite mug.. Obviously a starbucks one :) Just had to take a picture of this.. LOL
This is getting worse and worse..
Today a Chav came in to buy a present for his girlfriend, by the way I'm fully aware that the term Chav isn't politically correct, but, you all know what I mean when I say it.. Well at least all English people, for everyone else, well there is no need to know.. Back to the point, I thought he was sort of really cute.. Which I got told of by my colleagues for.. Seems to be really bad to fancy a chav.. Guess it isn't really my usual type. This makes me wonder, do we change "type" out of desperation? I know that when I was younger, I had a specific type, I used to pretty much only fancy middle eastern guys, don't know really why, but love the way they're just more manly than many other guys, and I just like guys who treat girls in a good way. Or well that used to be my "type", since I moved to England this just really changed, and now I find chavs attractive, which aren't really known for treating girls the right way I guess.. This just makes me wonder, what will I end up with? Maybe the total opposite of any guy i ever dated? Guess that will be hard, coz I already dated guys who were the total opposite of each other.. Well I guess only the future will tell.. But until then, I need to sort myself out, get a bit less desperate, so I won't run after bad boys.. Maybe eat a bit more, or buy more clothes, don't know.. Those are the two things that keep me from doing mistakes, but than again, spending too much money or eating too much and becoming a fatty might be considered a misstake by some too..? LOL
Peace out for now.
Soo nervous..!!
OMG got my first reply to all my CVs that i've been sending away today!! Not really what I have been looking for, but it sounds like a really great opportunity.. Hopefully this will lead to something :)
Except from being in london this week for a couple of day's i've not been doing anything but applying for jobs.. But it was really nice to go london and see some friends that I haven't seen in ages.. Sometimes I need to get a break to see my people.. See people who it's easy to be around.. It can get quite difficult here, as some people around here always have to go on my bloody nerves.. I hate when people always have to put me down whatever I say. I'm fully aware that it's my own fault, as I let people do it. But than again, I don't put other people down just because I can, or because they don't say anything, so why do some people feel the need to do that with me, or other people for that matter?! I guess some people find it funny, well I don't, and I know i can flip on people, which I will probably do soon, as this situation is really tiering!
Well gonna try to go London at bit more often to see my loved ones, and maybe I'll get a job there :)
By the way i'm totally in love with this leather jacket from Karen Millen!!!!
I absolutely love it, really need to find a way to get it.. Somehow I will find a way!! :)
Applying and applying and applying... :(
Just sending away loads and loads of emails applying for jobs.. And hoping that someone will give me a chance.. I decided that i will have to leave end of january if i can't find a job.. As it's unnecessary to pay the feb rent if i can't find a job.. So lets all pray for me..
Can't believe how hard this is.. No one ever prepared me for the chance of not being able to get a job once i finished my studies.. It was just always somehow implied that if someone studies they will be able to get a job after uni.. But that doesn't really seem to be the case.. Maybe it was like that back in the days..
Well nothing one can do but to apply for jobs until you find something, at some point someone should employ me.. At least i hope so..
Well need to get ready for work now.. At least i got a part-time job i love :) I know a lot of people who don't even have that after uni, that must suck..
peace out
Me and Maks the other day.. yea yea we were sitting in public making stupid faces on photo-booth... At least i don't even pretend to have a life :p
Not very efficient day..
Been looking for jobs, but somehow can't find that much online.. Everywhere they are looking for people that have experience, i don't have any bloody experience. Why does everyone look for people with experience, how am i supposed to get experience without being able to get a job..??
Haven't even been able to find something to apply for.. Need to look more, but now i'm gonna take a nap, before i have to get ready for work.. Don't know how i can be this exhausted..

Deadline to get a job..!
Now is the time that I should be getting a job, and I really don't wanna do the same thing as most people i know: Just wait for a job to come along. That probably will never happen, so I have decided to give myself a deadline to find a job or to move back home to Sweden. The deadline will the the 17th of february, because it is my 25th birthday.
That gives me 99 days to send away CVs to as many different companies as possible, and hopefully I will be able to find something. If not, I will quit my job, and my flat here, and to move back to my parents house. As I really don't wanna move back, this will hopefully give me the motivation to find something.
Today I will work on my CV and covering letter before I go to work.
So Day 1: Finish CV & Covering Letter.
graduation week is officially over..
The last week has been really good, from the start to the end :)
It did start with my mommy n brother getting lost and not being able to find there way into southampton, this even though they had a navigation system with them.. But i guess it was hard with the whole english postcode system and all..
The time waiting for them i spend in the hotel, still can't believe it took me 1 hour and 20 minutes before i saw that there was a big ass tv right in front of me, and at least i watched tv the rest of the time..
Graduation day was amazing, the ceremony was incredibly long, and i was the 3rd last to be called up, but whatever it was totally worth it :) I absolutely love going up on that stage and getting the diploma.. To be honest i even consider to keep studying and do a phd.. I don't think i would be smart enough, and have enough discipline, but let's be honest, who thought i would be able to do a masters? So maybe phd is the next step?
On saturday mommy n pierre and me went to the isle of wight, which was really nice, and on the way past we went through the new forest, with all the horses running around, i loved it.. I mean i would never ever let my horse run around in the wild, it aint safe enough.. But love how other people do it, it's a real tourist attraction.. I just wonder if they don't get hit by cars, there was quite a lot of trafic and the cars didn't really seem to slow down for the horse.. Another reason i would never let my horse run around in total freedom like those horses..
Best part though was the ball, i mean i know it wasn't the best ball ever, it never is. People always have to high expectation. I know the room was too big, too bright, too little bars, not enough staff, but SERIOUSLY WHATEVER!! people are just complaining, but to be honest i went there to say goodbye to my friends, and i had a really good time. Maybe it was coz i was tipsy enough, i don't know..
Sunday mommy n me drove my brother to the airport, and did a big mistake.. We thought we'de have a nice trip back to southampton, driving through the country side, but guess what.. When u tell the navigation system to avoid motorways it will take u through london.. It took us soooooo long, absolutely incredible!! but at least mommy saw london, maybe just through the car windows, but better than nothing i guess..
Here come some pictures of the last week :)
Happy graduation day!! :)
All my babies graduated today, so happy for everyone!! It was so much fun seeing everyone go up on state.. Just wish mine would be today as well, kind of sucks that mine is on friday, as everyone will have gone home again by then, and no one will be here to take pictures with.. but it doesnt really matter coz obviously my mum and brother will be here :)
Gonna go out tonight though and celebrate graduating, was meant to get absolutely wasted tonight, as i wasn't meant to work tomorrow, but went to work to say hi, and found out that one of the girls is sick, so will have to do a 9-6 tomorrow.. can't believe that, i mean i love working there, this is the first time i really wish i didn't have to go into work.. but nothing i can do about it, still going out tonight, will just have to live with feeling absolutely sick and tired at work tomorrow..
Paul got a baby!!!
So happy for Paul and Sam who got their lil baby today!! Wanna see the lil one so badly, but i guess the lil france family need to rest for a while before the baby will be introduced to everyone..
The transvestite who bought the dress the other day came in today to show me pictures of him wearing it.. OMG he really looked like a woman, so amazing, he was so happy he got it, and kept thanking me for convincing him to get it, as he would have never done it otherwise coz he is too insecure.. So happy for him, he looked so happy..
The guys just got ready to go to work in winchester and the whole house smells of boys eau de cologne.. love the smell, why do boys perfumes smell so much better than girls perfumes? Or is that just me who thinks that? don't get me wrong, i love perfume, love givenchy's summer limited edition 2006, d&g the one, and victor % rolf's flowerbomb, are my favorite ones.. But they have nothing on boys perfumes.. Just love it!!
