8 Minute Workout

Heyy people,

It's me Lotte. I haven't updated for a while, and I am sorry. About two weeks ago, I went back to Japan, and I had so much fun hanging with old friends, and visiting my school, that I didn't want to go back. :P
Well, back to topic: I was actually planning on writing about cryptography (but I guess that will be next week's topic), which is my new obsession and kind of related to riddles, but yesterday I found out about something so amazing that I just had to write about: The 8 Minute Workout. It is genius! I guess a lot of you have heard about it before because it is pretty famous, but I only heard about it yesterday from a friend of mine. It is simply a workout that focuses on a certain part of your body (such as legs, etc.) and it only takes eight minutes to complete. The reason why I believe it is so genius is because it only takes eight minutes to finish, and who doesn't have an eight minutes free during anytime of their day? Spending these eight minutes on a workout instead of surfing on facebook or reading blogs (*cough*meiji*cough*), would do nothing but good for all of us.
Therefore, I have now decided to try to make this workout a daily routine, and to change the focused body area every now and then (but mainly it's gonna be the abs and the legs). Maybe something you guys should try to?

Riddles

Heyy again :))

I have a new obsession which I'd like to share with you: riddles. Some of them are seriously complicated, and some you get right away, but I like the ones that really makes you think. Here is one of my favorites:

'A lady shoots her husband.
She then holds him underwater for over 5 minutes.
At last, she hangs him.
But five minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How is this possible?'

Can you figure out the answer? (I couldn't.. :p)
Well, think about it, and if you can't figure it out, than you may read the answer..
---------------------
Answer: She 'shot' his picture. Held it under "water" (developer) to develop. Hung it on the line to dry the photograph.
Get it?

It is so clever!
Well, that's all for now. :)
I will see if I find another riddle for next week's upload, or maybe I will upload something totally different.
See ya,
xxxx.

Heyy!~

Last week was my mid-winter break, and so me and my family, as well as my friend and her family went to Andalo, Italy to ski. I had an awesome time, and I hadn't seen my friend since summer so it was great to meet her again. Anyway, now I am back in Sweden, but I got today off school since I was sick all yesterday, and if I went to school today I would probably get half of the class infected with the same virus. :( Still, I am healthy now, and I will most likely be able to go to school tomorrow. ._.

So, today's the first of March, and therefore I decided to upload some cute photos with the themes 'LOVE' & 'Spring' to give us and March a fresh start. ♡

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!~ ♥

Hope you had a good day. :)
I think that Valentine's day is a great idea, because it is a day when people can be nice to each other, and it is a day full of surprises and love. Unfortunately, some people make a big deal of it - and not in a good way. If you are single on Valentine's Day, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be alone, or that you are a failure. So what if you don't have a boyfriend/ girlfriend on this day? Hang out with some friends or family, or go on a vacation and enjoy yourself. Valentine's Day is about being with people you love, but it can be any kind of love, such as family love or just friendly love, etc. So don't get all depressed just because you are single on Valentine's Day. Still, if you are interested in somebody, the 14th is a good day to make a move. So good luck! :)

Make sure to say/do something nice to someone today. :p

Cuteboy

Yesterday was the second Swedish pre-competition/election for the Eurovision Song Contest of the year, and there was a seriously cute competitor called Eric Saade!! Before I go off talking about my new cuteboy, I am just gonna explain the basic set up for these pre-competitions. So, there are four pre-competitions, and then a final one where the two most popular preformances from each pre-competition will compete. One final preformace is chosen to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. :) Yesterday, Eric Saade preformed with a song called 'Manboy' and his performance was the most popular one in the second pre-competition! He is just sooo adorable!~ ♥ Eric is 18 years old, and he is extremely good at singing as well as performing. Unfortunately the lyrics to his song were kinda lame ('Manboy, Manboy. You can call me Manboy!'), but it didn't matter.. :p He is such a HOTTIE.

I am posting a photo of him, but he is soo much hotter 'in action'. ^.^
I actually kinda think that he looks like a better version of Taylor Lautner. What do you think?

Also, he seems like such a sweet guy! :p Last night, watching this I couldn't stop saying 'Awhhhh..~'.
Losol, in conclusion, he is HOT. :)

Desperate Housewives ✔

Hello there! :)

Today, I don't really have anything special to write about, but since I like chocolate, I am going to post a short post today. :) I was planning to write a bit about a new favorite tv-series of mine: Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives is a fun tv-series about four women, who on the outside may seem like normal housewives, but on the inside are storing many shocking secrets. Lynette, Bree, Gabrielle and Susan are four women with very special and outstanding characteristics, with different troubles and dilemmas. The series is full of humour, and drama, as well as bits of love and death. I am right now in the middle of season one, and I actually quite enjoy it. I bought the first DVD-box just for the fun of it, but it is actually much better than I thought. There are seven seasons, and there are more to come, so I have a lot to look forward to. ;)

For some very annoying reason, I can't upload photos to my posts, and my blogger is just going bonkers (a favorite word from 'Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snoggings' XD), so yea.. I was gonna upload a photo of the cast, but now I can't. So if you are interested you can do some research yourself... Hihi, have fun.. ^.^

iPad - A new Phenomenon?

Hey everyone :)

Guess who is updating again while somebody else isn't? :D
Well, today I was planning to write a bit about the iPad. I am pretty sure you all have heard about it, but still. It is so flippin' awesome I just have to write about it. So, yesterday the iPad was released in the States, and you can guess what an enormous success it was! Apple, the company behind this huge phenomenon, are planning on selling 3-4 million iPads this year, and 8 million iPads in 2011. Well, so what is an iPad? Basically, it can be anything you want it to be, because it's multi-touch interaction and it's big screen allows you to watch videos, movies, photos, listen to music, read the newspaper, read books. As I said: It can be anything. It is very portable, and easy to bring with you since it is surprisingly light thinking about it's size (9.7 inches). Unfortunately, it is quite expensive. It costs 499 $, 599 $, 699 $ depending on how many gigabytes you want.



Obviosuly the iPad can be flipped, and the objects on your screen will automatically rotate. On the iPad to the right you can see piles of photos that are different albums, and to see a certain photo album you can just tap on that pile and it will open. If you want to see a photo in full screen, just tap again. Let's say you want to show a photo to a person opposite you, just turn the screen to them, and the photo will adjust by itself so that it becomes rotated properly etc.




This iPad's multi-touch interaction application senses the way you touch the screen.

Looks awesome doesn't it?
If you are interested than you should definitely visit this page.

Enjoy! :)
