Sad feeling... Ending

These are some of my work from school, I took them home today.
It felt kind of sad when I packed my things from art, seing all these works I've been doing during high school. But, we have to move on (^^)

I see it now, I really only do things in blue....hm... My favorite color is blue, but so many things in blue...I didn't count on that... geez hahaha.
Anyway, I don't paint all in blue anyway, the paintings and drawings are coming home on friday, couldn't take everything with me today.

So, only a couple of days left until graduation... Feels...many things.
Difficult to explain this feeling. I've been trying to describe, but it's really hard. Many feelings mixed into one big weird feeling.
Anyway, today was a cloudy day, I really hope the weather will be better...!

The Leader's Birthday

The Leader of GLAY, Takuro's birthday was yesterday. He's now 36 years old, even if I can't tell that just by looking at him... (^^)

Takuro is the composer of almost all the GLAY songs. He's been influenced by the Beatles and John Lennon.
With his friend Teru, they started the band GLAY in high school, at the beginning just for fun, like any usual high school student. Hisashi came as a guitarist, and later on, Jiro as the bassist.

I really admire this person, not just because all the beautiful songs he's been written and will write in future, but he's maturity and kindness. He's the cool but kind guy in GLAY (sure, Hisashi's cool too, but in another way). He really takes the lead-job, and the other members have told that whenever they have something in mind, they go to Takuro to discuss things out. Takuro is "Onii-chan", the Big Brother in the band.
And the last but not least, he's the tallest bandmember, which brings a model-like, very beautiful figure.

And, last a picture of what I call "Takuro Pose":

Grease...grous

I finished my last home works!! (^O^)

And today was the last performance with the team, DIF (Djurgårdens IF) had their ice show with the theme Grease. The team performed too, haft of us as guys and the other half as girls. I was a girl.
We skated well, even though we had only practiced it two three times.
But the "finale" was embarrassing... we did moves that was so humiliating that one girl totally refused to skate the final number. I understand her fully... but I had to skate, or the others would refuse too, because everyone felt the same.
After our performance, our coaches went home. So when the final was over, the arrangers and coaches got flowers, but both our coaches wasn't there, so it was not the best impression.
After that, they wanted to photograph everyone who skated at the show, but because of the embarrassing final, we went directly to the changing room and began to change, 'cause we didn't know they wanted to take photos.
But anyway, we didn't participate and I'm kind of happy for that...

The one thing I was very angry at, was that they had misspell our team name in the program sheet. Instead of "Team Northern Lights" they wrote "Nordic Lights". What the hell??? How hard is it to write the name right?? I mean, our team name is "Aurora" but in English, and if you know English and you live in Sweden, then it's not hard at all to write the right name!
I hate when people misspell names. And don't they have a second checking before printing? I mean, they sold the program sheets to people who came to watch the show, and how the hell are they going to find us on the Internet or so if someone gets interested, if they misspell the name??
Argh! I can't stand it!!

Well, there goes my anger...
Tomorrow is rather a joyful day! I have only one lesson, which is art. We're going to clean our things and separate them to taking home-things and throw away-things. So not much work.
After that, me and my friends are going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3!! 0(^O^)o
Wooow!

Drink up, me 'earties, YOHO! ....Savvy?!

Almost 4 years ago, I went to the cinema with my new classmates, not knowing that I was on my way to a "world" of Jack Sparrow's adventures.

Today, the third movie of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has begun to show in almost every known cinema.

Unfortunately, I have to wait until friday to see the movie, because I have two school works to finish today, and tomorrow the team will be skating in an ice show with the theme "Grease".
But, even if I have to wait until friday, we have great seats at the cinema, so it's worth it.
One of my classmates saw the movie this midnight, she said that Jack Sparrow was more than great. I'll take her word and be patiently waiting the friday to arrive...

Until then...
Drink up, me 'earties, YOHO!

"Date with the Emperor!"

Yes, today the Japanese Emperor and his wife arrived here in Sweden, Stockholm.
They're here for the celebratio of the Swedish Carl von Linné 300 years celebration. At this photo, they're shaking hands with the Swedish Crown princess Victoria. (LINK)

For the welcome, the kids and their parents at the Japanese School in Stockholm was invited to welcome the Emperor to a place called Hagaparken in Stockholm.
This was planned to take place outside, but unfortunately just at the moment when they where to arrive at Hagaparken, it started to rain slightly, so only the kids (and me and my brother...) and the teachers were able to go to the entrance to welcome them. The parents couldn't participate, because of the small area at the entrance.

We stood there waving the flags of Sweden and Japan, the kids was as kids usually are, noisy. The police and security guards where standing here and there, two camera men with their two lightening men was at place too (think they came from Japan...), and we waited.

At last, they arrived, with many police cars and black cars. When they walked in, all the kids got quiet and just looked with big eyes. The Emperor and his wife greeted us with some talk, after them came Princess Victoria, asking some of us if we could speak Japanese AND Swedish etc.

It was kind of unbelieveable feeling, standing there greeting highly people I've only seen on TV and newspapers. But the Emperor and his wife was so cute! Both had the same nyance of gray hair, they where just the perfect heigh for each other and had big smiles when seing us.
Unfortunately, the most exciting of us, the parents, couldn't participate at all. Mum asked us thousands of questions afterwards. I felt a bit sorry for them, just because of little rain in bad time.

Yesterday was such a beautiful sunny day, and this morning was okay too! But just the one hour when the Emperor arrived, it had to start to rain, and not much either. Because after the arrival, the rain stopped and the sun was looking out a bit.
No luck this time...

But now, it's raining quite much here at home... (-.-)

Settled!!

Yeah!! o(>0<)b
It's settled now!! 26 Juny to 26 July, me and my bro are going to Tokyo!! Waai!!
At last, it's been settled and I can begin to plan my travel, hehehehe (*v*)

I was shopping with my friend while listening to all the scandals that happened during our school's so-called prom night. (In Sweden, we don't have any real prom nights, like in the US or so, we have an official school prom night, but not everybody comes to it anyway, just those who have money or really wanna go... I didn't go, neither did my other friend go)
One of the school staff, the one that arranges these things at our school, she got quite drunk and was doing things with many male students in our school... not good at all... I wonder how the things' will turn out in our school after that. Not only with the students, she was kissing and making things with one of our athlete teachers...!!
Well, and a lot more happened, that I really didn't expected would happen... I was very surprised hearing those stories from my friend.

Anyway, I found a couple of small things, and I found a pair of white shoes for the graduation! They weren't expensive at all, so I took them! And I'm happy for that (^o^)o
Even my mum liked the shoes, and they fitted her feet too (^^)

Oh, it's getting late again... I'm so good at being awake till so late, or shall I say so early in the next morning... Well well, I shall start going to bed.

~(#o#~) (~#o#)~

I went to school to take some shoots for my last task in Photography B course. I used my friend Victoria as a model, put some make-up (that isn't visible at this photo.... (-_-;) )

This is what I did today, mostly...

And I might have found my graduation clothes (^^)

Sushi and Goose

Here it comes, one of the pictures of the Sushi I was talking about some days before. I have more pictures, but this one was the best so I choosed it. They were delicious, not the most beautiful ones, but still okay (^^)

I've not been able to sleep deeply last night, so when we had our very early morning English test in reading and listening, I slipped my concentration a bit here and there during the test... I don't think I did any good, but I hope I'll be okay, at least safe hopefully... Then I had two hours of nothing-doing dead time, doing exactly nothing... I really could just lean my head on the table and start sleep, but I didn't.

Every year, our school has something called "Gåsruset", "Goose race" if you say it in English. All students and teachers and everyone at our school are going to run, go or whatever, 5 km in the woods near our school. Then you gain points depending on how fast you run or go these 5 km. The class that gains most points per person, they'll get a school T-shirt. But, many do cheat during the race, like hiding in the bush or in the woods, then comes out after a half an hour or so, trying to look like a tired running people or something. Some of my friends in another class goes to a nearby Pizzeria and eat pizza, then goes back to goal after 45-60 minutes. Well, there are many ways to not run the whole 5 km. While there are cheating people, there are still those who run seriously, they're really admiring.

Anyway, I have to go to sleep now, so that I don't black out here in front of the PC...

bilddagboken.se

I've got myself a "bilddagboken", a Swedish site for pictures, photos, and a kind of diary... I made one because my friend Kikki is now an exchange student in Japan, and I want to be able to see her photos from there, so that I can follow her daily life (^^)
Anyway, the link is: http://misterpopcorn.bilddagboken.se/

"You can CELEBRATION"

Wow!! 50th post in this blog!
Didn't thought that I'll be writing here this long, but it can be quite fun to write down in a blog, put some pics and stuff...

Today, I was just about to get into the "deep sleep", when my alarm began to sound and I had to get up... I was SO tired, I couldn't move at all, was kind of hard turning off the alarm clock... It felt like I didn't sleep deep at all, until just before the alarm...
So, I went to school in a kind of stand-by mode or something, I wasn't asleep, but still I wasn't fully awake. It was just some weird feeling, and I was acting quite weird too, I think...
And this day, I had to stay at school from 8 am to 3 pm or so, with only a lesson in the morning, and one in afternoon some 3-4 hours later.

Anyway, today my brother and I got to the music store and I bought that bass I was talking about. Ibanez GSR180BK (LINK)
Now, the journey to a new world has begun, the world of learning a new instrument. The road seems a bit tricky, but I've promised myself that I'll be able to get to the goal, no matter what!
Wish me luck! (^0^)

Pollen allergic...!!! and more....

Wow... It was a looooong time since I last wrote here.
Before that, I really am very irritated to this pollen season. I didn't have ANY problems with it, until last year, when I felt I reacted a bit. But this year, it's worse. My nose is like a waterfall, and I'm sneeze like never before. I can't believe this. I really hope it's not gonna be like this my whole life, I can't stand being as my mum who can't go out without having millions of problems with whatever the pollens can do. I can't stand a life like that.

Anyway, during this time, one of the things that happened was, my mum did so many Sushi one day, so I photogaphed it with my digital system camera. I haven't put them in my PC yet, but when I put them in, I'll post them here too. 'Cause it's a bit amazing, my mum did it so good, although she isn't that great with doing sushi.
That day, my brother's girlfriend came by, so she got to taste the sushi too. She liked them and ate with good appetite.

Now, there is less than a month to the graduation...! I really can't believe it, because there is so much left to do. There is so much work at school, I've written all down on a paper to get a clearer view of it.
And all the preparation for the graduation has to be done. I hope everything will fall right at the end. I really hope it will do...

But, first up is tomorrow, a test on the Christianity. I don't understand everything, but I've been reading quite lot at the Internet, and my notes from the lessons, a crappy school book too. I think I know everything somehow. I'll try to do the best of it.

Two albums I've been listening to a bit lately are STRAIGHTENER's new album LINEAR, and the pillows new album Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Both are really great, I really recommend them. Both of them has many songs that are great, I didn't have much expectations, but I'm happy for that, now my happiness of listening to them are bigger (^^)
LINEAR has great songs like Six Day Wonder (PV) and Berserker Tune.
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! has great songs like Wake up! Dodo (PV) and Scarecrow (PV).

This is for today, I've got to go to bed soon, tomorrow is another day of work, in different meanings.
See ya soon!
