Minjee owes me tons of chocolate :D

First of all,
For everybody who reads this (ehm.. Minjee? Possibly Lauren?), this blog is driven by Lotte and Meiji, but only Lotte updates. This winter, Lotte and Meiji made a promise that we would update one time each every week. So, every week I go to this blog to see if my so called friend has updated... And Guess who owes me some chocolate when I come to Japan again? XD (Haha, for every time Minjee doesn't update but I do she owes me one chocolate, and vice versa.) I can't wait to go Japan! ;)

So, this weekend I am redecorating my room (well, more precisely: My dad is redoing my room...), and I have been looking forward to this for ages. :)) I am having new wallpapers and a new color scheme and everything. :D It's gonna be so fun to see the before and after pictures. I will update som photos on my next update. SO, this is it for now. I am gonna keep on studying for my french test on Tuesday (I aced the two previous ones except for one 'half-mistake' that took away 0.5 points from my total score XD - YAY ME!!). See you later, and Meiji: Don't start updating now. I want chocolate. :D

Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2010! ♥

Hey there!

I know that it has been ages since me and Meiji updated this blog, but we were having a little 'break'. Anyways, no we are planning to start the blog again. :) So, just FYI: I have now moved back to my home country Sweden, whilst Meiji is still in Japan. During this winter break Meiji came with me to Sweden, and we had loads of fun celebrating Christmas, the new year, and just hanging out. Yesterday, Meiji went back to Japan.... ♥ :(

Personally, 2009 was a great year for me for several different reasons. I am not gonna list the

m all here ('cause they are many), but 2009 was simply great! It is a year which I will never forget. Even though you have had a great year, there is always something that could have been better, and the new year gives you a chance to a fresh start, and be a better person. I have been thinking a lot about my new year's resolution, and finally I came up with two main ones which I will focus on: 1. I will try really hard to keep contact with all my friend's in Japan, since they are too precious to loose. 2. I will try to gain better self-confidence. I will keep you updated so that you can see how well my resolutions are going. I really hope that I will be able to fulfill my goals this year! :)

Here are some of the many photos that I took in Sweden this winter. :) Enjoy!

Tomas Hawk

Hello there! :)
If you know me than you would definitely know that I am very interested in photography, and I do take quite a lot of photos myself. Flickr is, in a t least my opinion, the best photo-sharing website ever. Therefore, I often go to Flickr just to look through and find my favorite photographers and there best photos. I have no find an awesome photographer who I feel like I have to share with you. His name is Tomas Hawk, and he is a real professional. Take a look at the photos below, and notice the amazing bright colors. Enjoy! :)






His photos are absolutely stunning aren't they?? Unfortunately, I couldn't show the photos in a bigger size, and therefore you can't really see the amazing details which only are visible in larger sizes. Still, I think that if you double-click on the photos than you will probably be able to see the original size in another window.
Okay, Have a good day :)

Custom Designed Converse

Heyy people :)
I am a huge fan of Converse, and I am currently looking out for a nice new pair. Since I am going to Hawaii during fall break I will probably by them there. Anyway, if you do not have a Converse shop near you, or if you want a custom designed pair than there is really simple way to fulfill your wishes. If you got to Converse website (Click Here), and you can choose between different colors, prints, laces, and even write your name on the shoes. :)
I has a lot of fun doing a pair, and even though I am not gonna buy them it was a lot of fun.
What do you think about these ones? Fun? Unique? Nothing Special? Hideous?
By the way, notice how it says 'Lollypop' on the back. You can get ANYTHING with less than 13 characters, written on your shoes.

Purple Beauty

Found a very pretty photo series of Flickr.

I found three photos which all portrayed purple flowers, and I will post them below. :)

I love the shots, and the soft blurriness in the background, which makes the photos seem so.. real. On the second photo you can see raindrops falling down from the flower, and too me it adds a bit of emotion to the photo. I think that the teardrops seem s like tears, and so I find this photo a bit sad.

Anyways, pick your favorite, and tell me which one you prefer. ~~

There is less deforestation now than 20 years ago!

For the past couple of years, there have been so many controversial debates about deforestation and other causes of Global Warming. Media always say that we have to cut down on the electricity, stop wasting CO2, and decrease the amount of Deforestation. Brazil is one of the countries with the most deforestation, and therefore I am happy to tell you that the amount of trees cut down in Brazil has decreased significantly. :)

It is so great to know that the world finally has decided to do something about these environmental issues!

The diagram above is in Swedish, so I will just briefly explain what it says. The first circle where it says 10 %, shows how much the deforestation in Brazil has decreased since 1985. The second circle, where it says 21 %, shows how much the deforestation in Borneo has decreased since 1985. These statistics are great, but we still have a ling way to go. So keep supporting these kind of green projects. :)

Robert Pattinson <3 <3 <3

You must have heard of him. Robert Pattinson.. :D The hottest human (well not really human but still) on earth..... ~ I am sure you all have seen Twilight, but if not you really have missed something!! The actual books are way better than the movie, but in the books you can't actually see Edward, but in the movies you can. If you know what I mean. :))

Robert Pattinson was born in England, May 13, 1986 ( he is only ten years older than me..... :D ), and has done modelling as well as the role of 'Cedric Diggory' in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I have seen Harry Potter 4, but in that movie I didn't really think he was anything special, but in Twilight.... woah!! That is a completely different story. XD Anyways, I could write an entire book about Robert Pattinson and his beautiful looks but today I am gonna focus on my favorite Edward-parts from Twilight. I linked each scene to the youtube clip, except for my absolute favorite one which you can see directly on here:

1.) Biology Lesson: This is just too cute!!! If a guy smiled like that to me, I would seriously faint... ;o

Credits to Popohat who posted this video on YouTube.

2.) "You Better Hold on tight Spider-monkey...": Hahahaha, this part is so cute... XD I love the word "Spider-Monkey", and I really wish that I could be Bella for this scene so that Rob could hold me instead of Kirsten... ^^

3.) "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb": Nawh, this quote just fits so perfectly to this scenario, and I completely love this part because this is when you know that they will stick together no matter what. ~~~

4.) Prom: lol, I love the part when Edward lifts Bella so that she can stand on his feet dancing... :p It is just too cute, and romantic. Wish that there are 'Edwards' in real life too... <3

5.) "You don't Sleep? No. Never? No, not all.": This smile is so cute :) Whenever I see this scene, I just feel so happy inside.. lol, I guess that is the the "Edward-effect"... XD (sorry, but i couldn't find a YouTube video that showed this part, so therefore I couldn't link it.. :/ )

By the way, I might write about this in another article, but it is definitely worth mentioning if you don't know: Robert Pattinson is an amazing singer!!! Two of his songs (the best ones in my opinion) are featured in the movie; 'Never Think' and 'Let Me Sign'. They are so unique, but still really full with emotions. One other fantastic song, which is not featured in the movie,is "I'll be your lover too". Rob didn't just sing these songs, but he also wrote them, AND played the guitar!! :))

Anyone DOESN'T understand why I completely love this perfect guy???
