Autumn is here... time for hot chocolate.

2011-10-29T19:13:00.001+02:00

I've been so bad at updating this blog, even though i've had it in mind... I just didn't have the time, because of university and so many things going on, like usually. But a few days ago I went out with my mom and had the most delicious hot chocolate and carrot cake, so I just had to share it with you guys :)

Hope everyone's doing good, happy weekend! ♥ // Missie

Ryan Adams

Obsessed with this song right now, gotta love Ryan Adams ♥

Oh, Gavin DeGraw ♥

2011-09-12T16:12:00.001+02:00

Last week was one of those weeks when everything just went wrong and I felt like I could give up on everything, but then I saw a competition to see Gavin DeGraw live and all you had to do was write a motivation why you should win. So I thought maybe I should give it a try... even though, I was 100% sure I wouldn't win. Such things just never happen to me. But somehow, some miracle happened and when I read my e-mails the next day, I saw I had won and all I could feel was just such happiness. It's undescribable... I really felt like the happiest girl in the world and it's all because of Gavin DeGraw, and the amazing people who chose me. I'm so thankful.

So today i'm finally seeing the lovely Gavin ♥ It will be in Hotel Lydmar, here in Stockholm and it's a special show because it's a preview of his new album so even if I wanted, I couldn't have bought tickets for this show. But i'm so happy I still got a chance to see him, it's just too good to be true. I don't wanna bore you guys... but for real, I feel like my heart's gonna jump out of my chest because i'm so excited and so happy and just so filled with all kinds of emotions at the same time... haha, it's amazing :)

Also, check out Gavin DeGraw's new amazing single "Not Over You" which I posted above (i'm obsessed with it) and his new album "Sweeter" coming out around 20th September! ♥ // Missie

Dear John

2011-08-26T15:28:00.001+02:00

I'm currently reading one of the loveliest books I've ever read... I have no words to describe it. Dear John has both made me smile and feel sad, but mostly smile because of the beautiful way it's written and the characters, which I fell in love with instantly... I'm now on page 216 and as I come closer and closer towards the end I fear to continue reading because I have a feeling that I'll start crying in the end... but it'll probably be worth it, so I'll try to go on :)

Look to the sky...

2011-08-25T14:20:00.000+02:00

We all search for that great happiness in our lives. But sometimes, I look up to the sky and see all this beauty surrounding me... whether it's a clear blue sky or a gray sky full of clouds... it never fails to amaze me, and every single time it hits me, that in the moment, that sky, that beauty... it's all I need to be happy.

Comments

I saw a few comments waiting for moderation today when I logged into Blogger, and I want to apologize to all of you who cared to comment in my blog. I'm so sorry for publishing the comments so late, I really appreciate your comments, believe me, it feels good to know that someone even cares to read all the silly things I might write. I've only been away from the blog for a while, because I simply didn't have the time... but I'll try to write once in a while... hope everyone's okay, much love to all of you <3 //Missie

Truth is, i've been struggling to write for a long while... there's been so much going on in my mind, that I just didn't know where to begin, from the emotions to all that's happening around me... but i'm finally seeing things clearer, life as it is... I see who I am, and I love who I am. For the first time in my life, I can say that I'm strong and I'm proud of myself.

I might sound selfish, but I don't care. It's about me, accepting who I am and loving every little bit of me, because you have to love yourself. You are worth more than any other person in life. Believe me, when I say that. We might need people in our lives, but we also need ourselves... if we don't have that, we have nothing. So, today i'm happy for having myself, and when you have that, there's really nothing to be afraid of in this world...

Believe in yourself, believe you can be strong / Missie

Every second is of infinite value.

2011-04-10T23:17:00.004+02:00

This picture just took my breath away... so I had to share it with you guys, I haven't seen something so inspiring in a long while...

fear of swallowing pills

2011-04-09T20:41:00.004+02:00

I don't know how common this is, but sometimes it feels that i'm the only one in this world who is afraid of swallowing pills... it's something that no one understands, because for them, swallowing pills is the easiest thing ever... "if you can swallow food, you can swallow pills too, right?" ...not really.

The thing is that I get too nervous and start to feel how I might choke... and then it just won't work, no matter how many times I try to swallow or drink water... the pill just stays in my mouth, until I realize it's better to just solve it in water... even though, some pills aren't really supposed to be solved in water... so I don't know how bad it is =/ but it's my only solution so far...

I've really tried everything I can think of... some months ago I even learnt to take pills with food for the first time, and that really helped me a lot... but now i'm back to this situation, except with other pills... penicillin pills that has to be taken on an empty stomach... once again, I just don't know what to do... honestly, I might be the first person to say this, but I feel hopeless cause I can't swallow pills =/ but it's ok, I didn't really want to complain... the reason why i'm writing this is because I want to ask you all who stumble by my blog, for some help... if anyone has any advice? I'd love to hear your own stories too, if anyone has experienced the same thing?

Otherwise, i'm thinking of cutting my next pill into many little pieces... something I actually never tried, but I realized it's easier for me to swallow if it's smaller... so i'll see how that goes :)

Peace & love ♥ / missie

Music is my life.

2011-03-03T18:41:00.002+01:00

My albums... i'm putting them up here, because they are so dear to me... each album has helped me and guided me, through the worst and the best times of my life. At the moment, I really wish I had every White Lies album... because as you might know, i'm in love with their music. So, that will hopefully be the next thing I buy :)

All my albums, except for 30 Seconds to Mars "This Is War" Deluxe Edition.

White Lies, 28th February 2011 ♥

2011-03-02T00:20:00.004+01:00

White Lies is a band that i've loved ever since I heard their first single "Death"... I was instantly amazed, and with time they have really grown on me... they still do, the more I listen their music, the more I love them... yesterday I saw White Lies live for the first time.
It must've been one of the best nights in my life, and without any doubt... the best monday ever. It's so hard for me to express what I feel when I see a band live, even harder when it's a band that I really love... it's such unexplainable happiness... you have to experience it yourself to know how it is, but it's the best feeling in the world... and now, in the morning it feels like a dream, such a wonderful dream... even though I can still remember the sound of the drums, the bass, and the guitars... pulsing through my whole body... I was feeling it all the way to my heart. I wish these moments could be captured, but maybe that's the point... some things can't be captured, instead we leave, but not empty handed... the happiness of that moment stays in our hearts and souls forever. That's something that no one can take away from you. It's yours... only yours.

This is for you, White Lies... thank you for a night that will always stay in my heart ♥

...and i'm back :)

2011-02-27T18:25:00.006+01:00

I just felt such a sudden need to write here again, so here I am :) This week i'm on holiday, which feels great because last week was so stressful... many exams, presentations, speeches... but i'm glad it's over! ;) now, usually I just let my holidays pass... without getting anything good done... well, except resting, and sleeping... a whole lot ^^ but I wish to change that, because I have so many things on my mind, so many things I wish and need to do... so here goes my list:

Work with my school project (a website/blog about different charity organizations)
Listen through many new (and some old too) albums as Radiohead, Adele, The National, Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes, Beach House, Two Door Cinema Club, Broken Bells...
Watch a few movies, including Star Wars... mostly cos i've always been very curious, and of course cos of Natalie Portman :)
Read a good book, or at least begin reading one...
Write my chemistry presentation, about glucose and glycolysis.
Study for a thousand physics exams... (ok, only 2)
Plan a (secret) trip for the summer into details :)
Go out, do something fun? play in the snow? xD
Read through all posts that I still haven't read on Le Love ♥
Watch all episodes that i've missed on Glee and The Buried Life! :)

Hmm... that's pretty much all that I can come up with so far, probably my time won't be enough to do all of this, even though it's all pretty relaxing things... well, but I hope I do at least something of that :)
As for today, i'm gonna try to watch the Oscars... so excited to see if Natalie Portman wins for best actress, if you ask me, she really deserves it... haven't watched someone give so much of themselves as much as she did in her performance for Black Swan in a long while... so I really hope she wins it :) As for tomorrow... i'm seeing these handsome guys, in the picture... it's a british band called White Lies, which I love so much... their music is awesome, so i'm very excited for tomorrow... and there's really nothing better than concerts, so I have no doubts on that! :) well, that's all for today...
Take care everyone, have a great sunday! ♥ / Missie

Let's have some rest...

2011-02-13T18:40:00.002+01:00

It's already February... and I haven't updated the blog as much as I wished... it feels empty... so i've decided to put my blog on a rest, at least until summer... I guess my blog has been resting for a long while already, even though i've been too stubborn to admit it... I really wish I had the time to keep it up, but there are too many things going on in my mind... school, my health, people... things in life that I need to think of, even though I wish I could only dream and be free... maybe someday, but for now, I'll let this rest and hopefully i'll come back soon... so you won't have to miss me :)

I also want to thank you, all the 76 people who are still following my blog... you don't know how much it means to me, that someone in this world actually cares to read the thoughts of a silly girl like me... it's inspiring. I love you all ♥

/Missie

"Now do this one for yourself"

2011-01-24T21:11:00.013+01:00

After watching the 2011 Golden Globes, I felt that I had to dedicate a post for Natalie Portman, because I simply adore her so much. Not only for her amazing talent, but her personality and just about everything she does... is so truly inspiring.

Her latest film "Black Swan" was directed by Darren Aronofsky. He also directed "Requiem for a Dream" which is probably the most powerful film I ever saw... so i'm feeling very excited to see "Black Swan" in the near future :) It's for "Black Swan" that she won a Golden Globe as best actress, and I think that her acceptance speech is something that everyone should see... she said that Aronofsky inspired her by telling her "Now do this one for yourself" after every take while they were filming "Black Swan", but I think it's something that can inspire us all...

I also have to mention that I loved Natalie Portman's dress, which was made by Viktor & Rolf... so beautiful :)

Nightswimming

2011-01-17T02:22:00.003+01:00

Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming ♥

Muito obrigado my dear luey...

2011-01-13T02:28:00.001+01:00

This is what luey wrote for me today on my birthday... i've lived 18 years now... so far this is the most beautiful someone ever wrote for me, i'm still out of words... ^^ Luciano, thank you, truly... maybe the 100th time i'm saying it... but I hope you know how much it really means to me, and how much amazing you truly are. ♥

It's a new year...

2011-01-05T21:58:00.005+01:00

Every year i've written how I wish my next year to be or what I expect from myself, but the truth is that it doesn't really matter... we set up goals for ourselves, expectations... wishing everything to be perfect, but I know that i'll never be perfect, and the things that happen around me, it's nothing that I can control... so for this year I only hope it will be another good year, full of great surprises :)

As for my 2010, I feel that i've really grown as a person this year, even though it's been little by little, it feels a lot to me now... i've opened up to many of my friends, which made us come closer, after so many years... and somehow i've had a year filled with 30 Seconds to Mars, after seeing two of their shows, and meeting Jared Leto... it's something i'll never forget... i'm truly happy and thankful for what an amazing year it has been.

I wish you all a Happy New Year, have a good one! ;)

It's one of those days when my mind is spinning around, like a whirlwind, because so many things are going on, and it's too much for me to take... so much that I only wish, I could runaway from this place, escape from my life... if only for a while, that I could feel peace... why is it so hard?

Man måste dö några gånger innan man kan leva

2010-12-19T02:09:00.003+01:00

Yes, a little bit swedish :) The title of this song means "You have to die a few times before you can live" and it's just such a true song that gives me such happy feelings, I can't put it into words. It's just amazing. Håkan Hellström is probably the only swedish artist that I love... he has a too beautiful soul, every song is as poetry, or as a piece of art. Just indescribably beautiful. Love it, love it :)

Inspiring...

2010-12-10T20:37:00.003+01:00

These photos aren't mine, but they are too beautiful not to be seen, so I had to put them up here... I hope they inspire you as well :)

White Lies new single "Bigger Than Us"

2010-11-19T21:00:00.002+01:00

This is just so powerful, beautiful, amazing... i'm in love with it ♥

These are the busy times.

2010-11-19T20:44:00.003+01:00

School has taken over me, completely... which is of course the reason to my absence. I wish I had more time to write here sometimes, but that's life. You gotta do what you gotta do right?

So these days i've had tons of exams, including chemistry, physics... that was very stressful. But i'm happy that I made it all, and now I won't have any exams for 2 weeks! :) Instead i'll have something similar to an internship, where i'll be at some architecture company and learn things during those two weeks.
Today I also went to the Stockholm International Fairs, which was for universities... so that gave me some more ideas on what I should study next year, when I hopefully, go to some university. I even thought about studying in Scotland, but maybe that's too hard. I think i'm not ready to move that far from home yet, even though I wish to experience new things and live somewhere else. Anyways, now i'm going to relax and enjoy my friday :)

See you guys, hope everyone has a great friday evening!

Words, words, words...

2010-10-24T20:03:00.006+02:00

Some people say, don't waste your words... it means that the words are overused, that they've lost their meaning, because you say them over and over again... so that in the end it's just too much. Too much to mean anything, and I happen to be this kinda girl that wastes her words. I like to say 'I love you' a thousand times over, or even 'I miss you'. I like to express my feelings in words to other people. Sometimes an 'I love you' can be to make someone smile and feel good, that the person knows that I really do love them, or only as a confirmation for myself that love didn't disappear, that it's still there. It's hard for me to trust in love as it somehow (most of the time) disappears, but I try to let myself believe that there are those few exceptions. There has to be right?

So, I happen to overuse words... but I don't think that they loose their meaning. Even if you say something a thousand times, it will still mean the same thing... so the words are not wasted. But i've come to realize that sometimes there's no reason to say the same thing over and over again, because however much hard it is, you have to trust that the person already knows... believe that there are exceptions.
While sometimes words are just not enough... what's a word? It's truly nothing. We use words to express our feelings, but are words really able to express our true feelings? It's not enough... but what else do we have? Sometimes, words are the only option... so i'll keep 'wasting' my words, but also keep it within some limits... until I one day feel like I don't need the words anymore... maybe that's when I reach the exceptions? I guess, time will tell ^^

Take care all you dear people who reads this, I really appreciate it ♥ // Missie

The first snow...

2010-10-24T02:11:00.003+02:00

this is what I saw outside my window yesterday, an early first snow, the autumn leaves didn't even fall off the trees yet :)

already winter?

2010-10-17T16:08:00.004+02:00

Somehow it became a lot colder here in Sweden, from around 10 degrees... it's gone down to around 5 degrees and they say next week the temperature will go down even more, maybe around -2 degrees... which means, soon I might see the first snow falling down here... it's a nice feeling, I love snow... but not for long (when I realize how cold it really is)... so i'm feeling i'll need some more winter clothes, and in my search for the perfect scarf, i've found this one in Accessorize, which I really love... i'm thinking of buying it soon, or should i? ...this scarf just feels so me, so Missie... I think I should go for it :)

You're just like a dream

2010-10-08T23:29:00.003+02:00

This always makes me feel happy, an oldie classic The Cure song...
What else is better? :)

My little tribute for Luey :)

2010-10-04T21:23:00.001+02:00

It's been around one year and seven months since I got to know this wonderful boy… it's my dear friend Luciano, he was just a little baby boy in this picture… the most adorable baby i ever saw ^^ and today on the 4th of October it's his birthday.
His 21st birthday, and i've only known him since he was 19… but when I look at this picture, it feels like i've known him my whole life… because I see the same smile, this smile that comes right from his heart and never fails lighting up my day… I see the same boy that I know today, with the most true soul and kind heart in this world. I admire you so much for that, and that's why i'm so happy for knowing you… if I didn't i'd be missing out on something really special…

I love you my Luey, Happy Birthday! :) ♥

The road of life...

2010-09-27T16:56:00.001+02:00

My blog has been frozen for a long while... if there's anyone that reads my blog, i'm sorry guys. It's because i've been too busy to update it, and at times i've been so confused that I didn't know what to write... sometimes my mind doesn't seem to understand why life is the way it is, so I ask myself that question over and over again, until i'm left with no answers... only confusion. But i've realized now, that life is a long road leading you somewhere... and you can't ever know where it'll lead you, so much in life is unexpected... so there's no reason to ask yourself why life is the way it is... eventually life will show you...

Flashes in my mind... you... wonderwall... i die a little inside... a hug... i am finally okay... it is true... i die even more... but i feel more alive than ever before...

If you weren't real, I would make you up...

2010-08-20T01:30:00.004+02:00

There are many songs that come around in my life, but this is the song that I start my mornings with and end my nights with... so simple, yet so special...

"...and right now, I wish I could follow you
to the shores of freedom, where no one lives" ♥

All good things come to an end

2010-08-20T01:07:00.004+02:00

Today it's my last day of holiday... no more sleepless nights, no more days passing by without doing anything at all and feeling totally okay about it... i'll really miss it, but that's okay, because life can't be a holiday... life has to move forward, and that's something I feel mostly when I go to school... a place where I get to fight for my dreams...

I love this song ♥ Band of Horses 'The Funeral'

summer days...

2010-08-15T04:31:00.000+02:00

It feels so amazing to say that we're still having summer days in Sweden, even if that feels so unbelievable... here are some photos from today...

Started the day with Vitamin Well; my new favorite drink :)

Mommy and me in the woods ;D

2010-08-08T15:54:00.002+02:00

I've dreamed, i've wished, i've imagined, i've believed...
Sometimes so much, that it felt real.
While it's never been real... maybe it never will be.
My heart feels tired, so tired...
From sudden happinesses to sudden sadnesses.
I can't do this to my heart anymore, because in the end...
There won't be much of a heart left inside me.
So, while it's not not too late... while it still beats...
I need to turn to my heart, I need to take care of it.

my evening thoughts

2010-07-30T22:38:00.003+02:00

Days have gone by, it's been a few days since I got home from my trip and i'm still getting used to my life, my usual every day "normal" life... even though i'm still on holiday, so this is more time for me to relax... I need that time, to get some energy for school, in about 3 weeks... it's important for me that I really give everything of myself this time, and really do my best... that's what I have to do, no exceptions... but that's in 3 weeks, no need to think about that when i'm on holiday right? ^^

So where has my mind really been... to be honest, I don't know... I feel pretty confused as I sit here, but not in bad way... just confused and kind of lost... i've been reading my favorite blog, Le Love all evening... I read about people losing their love and finding their love, hearts broken and hearts healed, giving up on love and searching for love, or sometimes even like me... people confused about love... I try to believe in love, because if love wasn't around, if that didn't exist... then probably we, the people wouldn't exist either... the world can't exist without love. That is why I believe in love, because we need it... and even though it makes us sad sometimes, it's still what helps us through the hard times... so whatever love makes you go through, it's always there somehow... I guess, it's also why I believe in love... it's something spectacular ;)

But now I really feel like i'm talking a lot nonsense, since i'm not the right person to talk about love ( i'm just a confused silly girl ) ^^ Ahh, how I love to dream myself away, the whole evening passed by so quickly now... while I was reading Le Love and watching the clouds outside my window moving slowly... it's amazing watching them move like that, wish I could've filmed it xD anyway, I better stop babbling til' I get too much embarrassing haha, so now i'm gonna go watch that movie with Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher called "Killers"... excited :D

See you lovely people :) // Missie ♥

2010-07-30T16:10:00.002+02:00

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes,

but when we look back everything's different.

The time has passed...

2010-07-29T03:04:00.001+02:00

...and i'm back here ;)

I can't tell how weird my days have been... in both worse and better ways, but all in all, it's been good! I hope everyone's been good too... if anyone even reads my blog anymore? If there's even one soul in this world who does, then I thank you from the bottom of my heart... it means much more for me than people think it does when they read my blog, just the thought that someone is actually taking their time to do that, reading what some silly girl babbles... i think it's special ^^

well, i'll post some pictures from my trip later on... so see you, whoever stops by :)

Holiday

2010-07-03T23:39:00.013+02:00

Today it's been very warm here, almost 30° all around Sweden... they say it's been the most warm day so far, and i'm still feeling really overheated... but i'm also feeling kinda relieved and happy because i'll go on holiday tomorrow, finally! =) even though i'm sure it's warm everywhere... atleast i'll change the place for a while :) so as we're traveling with car, we'll go to a lot of different places... first we'll go to Serbia where i'll see my grandpa and uncle... after that we'll go to Greece with my uncle... and then back to Serbia for a while more... until we go back to Sweden through Italy, France and so on... I hope it will be good! :) I won't be here for 3 weeks, so I won't update anything for a long while =/ but i'll do it as soon as I get back! :)

I hope everyone else who reads my blog enjoy their summer as much as possible too!! See you! :D // Missie

just because I love sunsets, found this pic on tumblr :)

I'm feelin' the sun :)

2010-06-28T17:00:00.003+02:00

Nope, i'm not on a beach in Hawaii, but to my surprise it's very warm here in Sweden too... i'm finally beginning to feel the summer heat, and to be honest... i'm already beginning to dislike it... I feel overheated :/ But i'm still trying to enjoy summer as much as possible, it only lasts for a few months here... maybe until August, so hey! i'm happy for the sun :)
Otherwise, I took some pictures a few days ago where I was wearing my best friend Luke's shirt. He won a competition for H&M, so they used his picture for their shirt! :)

Pier Pressure 2010

2010-06-23T20:07:00.007+02:00

It's been a few days since the Pier Pressure festival in Gothenburg, and it's still stuck in my mind... I really had some of the best days in my life, I saw 30 Seconds to Mars and I even met Jared Leto (the singer from 30 Seconds to Mars) so it's hard to put it into words...
But i'll give it a try! :)

So as soon as we came to Gothenburg, we decided to go out and explore the town which was great because the rain had just stopped and it got a bit warmer outside. But as we were walking on the main street in Gothenburg... I suddenly see a guy with a pink mohawk passing me by... and I think is this really Jared Leto that i'm seeing?! In that moment, I really looked like I got a heart attack, and i'm pretty sure that Jared noticed it too because I swear, he was looking right into my eyes... he realized I knew who he was, but he just kept walking like nothing happened because he didn't wanna bring any attention to himself, which is understandable. But I couldn't help myself, so of course I went after him... he was going to some restaurant to eat, and I really didn't wanna disturb him... but then I did it anyway, and even got a picture with him. He was really the kindest ever... I just wish I didn't get so nervous with him, I wish I had something good to say... like how much I admire him for his music and how much inspiring he is, but maybe some other time... I really hope it wasn't the last time I met him, but even if it was... it was the happiest moment in my life, and i'm so grateful for that. Sometimes, miracles do happen...

The next day I finally went to the festival where I got to see many nice bands, some of the bands were totally new to me like Pendulum, which was awesome... especially one of the singers, he jumped so freakin cool, I never saw someone jump like that haha... but otherwise, I saw many bands that I already knew as The Sounds, Takida, 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore... and you can already guess my favorite! :)
Yep, 30 Seconds to Mars... I already saw them live once before, but when I met Jared Leto the day before... somehow I felt even more excited to see them, and they were just as amazing as always. Jared came out with his pink (or "pomegranate" as he calls it) mohawk and rocked the stage, and the crowd, and everything! Even though it was cold outside, I got warm in my whole body as he told us to "jump and touch the sky!" while singing along to their songs... it was just amazing!

They were actually only scheduled to play for an hour, but Jared took out his acoustic guitar and made it almost 30 minutes longer... so I missed a bit of Paramore, but it was fine with me... if it was up to me, 30 Seconds to Mars could've played even longer... so to end this all, it was really some of the best days of my life and i'm happy for every little moment I got to experience with 30 Seconds to Mars... it's moments like those that I keep in my heart forever.

I'm off to Gotenburg for Pier Pressure festival! See you guys in some days! :)

Blending

2010-06-16T17:34:00.003+02:00

I made this blend around two years ago in Photoshop for a "blend challenge" and ever since I haven't been able finish it... so today I decided that I just had to finish it, and I finally felt creative again :) So i added some effects and texts... but i'm not so happy with the result, I feel like there's something missing... and the text feels kinda wrong, I was listening to Andrew Belle's song "In my veins" so that's where the words come from. Usually, the words doesn't really have a connection to the picture... but i'm not surprised that I complain with the text. Believe it or not, but putting the text is really the hardest part of making a picture like this, because it can so easily ruin the whole picture... but well, what do you guys think?

from this...

...into this

Remember Me

2010-06-13T16:05:00.004+02:00

I don't usually write about movies that I watch, but this one really caught me in a way that I felt so many of my own emotions being captured there... especially something that goes around in my mind, almost constantly... that life can end in any moment... in just a second everything can be gone... that's why it's important to take every chance in your life and do whatever you feel that you wanna do. Like Ally said how she always takes the dessert before dinner because she never knows when she's gonna die... and the dessert is her favorite part, so why should she wait?
That was the main point of the movie for me, but also... by knowing that life can end in any moment... you'll realize that there's nothing to be afraid of, even death... so that's why i'm gonna end this with a well-known quote "take every chance, drop every fear"... in the end, it's all worth it.

Hi there, everyone...

2010-06-12T00:00:00.001+02:00

So like usually when i'm bored I try to snap some pictures of myself and it doesn't turn out good at all... but I thought I could share at least one here in my blog... haha just cos I think this one looks really funny, I mean what the hell was i looking at?! haha... also ignore the colour of the pic, i know it's so yellow/red/pink...
well otherwise, i've finished school today... finally, freedom! :) so in one week i'll see 30 Seconds to Mars again, very excited :) and then i'll probably go to Serbia, and so on... well, I won't bore you guys... it's friday afterall! so i'll talk about that more later ^^

Hope everyone enjoys their friday!

It's all right...

Some days, when all your failures of the past months get confirmed... it's ok to fall apart (at least for a little moment) well, i'm just human. Gimme a break.

I'm back!

2010-06-07T14:12:00.006+02:00

So my blog has been really quiet these past weeks because i've been too busy with school and other things, but now i'm finally done with all the schoolwork and exams, which means i'm back here! :) Even though, I haven't finished school yet... well, there's only one week left until i'm done with it, so I really can't wait! :) Otherwise, it's been really amazing weather here in Sweden... the sun is shining and so are the people ;) I really hope everyone else gets to experience just as nice weather... so enjoy it while it lasts! and don't forget to keep checking back here! ;) // Missie

It's been there all along...

2010-06-02T22:23:00.003+02:00

Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple... to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to state of bliss, the more confused we get to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling, trying to be the happy people we once were until eventually it hits us... it's been there all along. Not in dreams or hopes, but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar.

Stressed out

2010-05-26T22:59:00.000+02:00

Sometimes life just feels so stressful, that I just don't know where to begin and in the end it just feels like i'm gonna have a breakdown or something, so I don't do anything at all. These are some of the things I have to do:

27/5 - Swedish essay
28/5 - Finish website for Webdesign
31/5 - Chemistry essay
01/6 - Exam in Mathematics D
02/6 - Exam in Physics (4 hours)
09/6 - Physics presentation

My list is getting so much smaller, but i'm just so tired :/ Please, take me to a beach in Hawaii, anyone?

Don’t tell me that it’s over, it's only just begun...

2010-05-22T22:26:00.001+02:00

All the money in the world
Would never slit all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alive

I dream of a day when it's all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
But dreams are for night

I love this song, and the lyrics, and the music, and just everything... Amy Macdonald, how amazing she is!
Besides, this really makes me wish I knew how to play the guitar, i've wanted to learn it for a while now, if only I had a guitar :/ but someday, oh i'll have to!
However, I hope everyone's had an amazing day!! // Missie

Ingrid Michaelson ♥

2010-05-17T01:03:00.002+02:00

Probably i'm crazy, but I can't help it... I just gotta put this up here because some days ago Ingrid Michaelson (an amazing singer) tweeted me back on Twitter, and I adore her so much. Her music is so beautiful, i'm speechless... and she tweeted me back!! Ok, i know i'm overreacting, but it's the first time someone famous actually did that to me, but god... I think miracles exist, really. They must exist, and that is why I believe. She only said "thank you" but that means so much to me, she actually read what I tweeted her... can't tell how much thankful I am :)

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

2010-05-15T03:13:00.004+02:00

Am i strong? Am i weak? What am i? To be honest, I don't really know. I'm asking myself these questions all the time... some times i feel so weak, i could just cry and give up on so much in my life, but that's only what i feel... because most of the time i choose not to do that. I choose to be strong instead. Everything in life is really your own choice, we choose if we want to be weak or strong, just like the dolphins choose if they want to die or keep living, for every breath they're about to take. I'm not saying every choice that i've taken has been the right one... i've done some mistakes in my life, and I feel like I keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again, but in the end we're all just people... no one is made to be perfect. I know that i'm not alone about this, because even the people who get affected with my mistakes has made their own mistakes in their lives. But the mistakes actually learn us something, and i'm really trying to learn something from mine and even other people's mistakes. I believe that's how you make changes possible, changes into the better. So my point with this is, don't judge people because of their mistakes... probably at some point, everyone realizes if they've done something wrong and will try to learn something from that. Mistakes aren't always bad, as Einstein said "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new".
That's all i had to say, enjoy your weekend! :)

Happy Birthday Daddy! :)

2010-05-08T22:55:00.002+02:00

This is a picture that I just found of me and dad in Italy, when I was really little, and today it was my dad's birthday :) I really hope you had a good one dad! I love you!! ♥

If you look up to the sky...

2010-05-07T22:23:00.005+02:00

...you never know what miracle you might find, and this evening I found this miracle... right outside my window. Beautiful, isn't it?

P.S. Thank you dad for taking a picture of this :)

What's happening?

2010-05-03T02:23:00.003+02:00

I don't know if anyone really reads my blog, but if there's someone who does it, then you might've noticed that I haven't been updating here so much in a while... it's mostly because school is taking all my time lately, and also because I don't feel inspired to write or do anything here, which feels really bad :/ I'm truly sorry, but i'll try to get back to my old self and update more... there will be some pictures and things coming up, promise :)
Take care everyone // Missie

Brandon Flowers is going solo!

2010-05-02T16:56:00.006+02:00

I'm as many people here might know, a huge fan of The Killers and when I heard that Brandon (the singer in The Killers) was going solo, I got so surprised because I really didn't expect that, but I guess I should've known since The Killers are going hiatus for a while, so that means that Brandon will have time for a solo album... there's not so much info about it yet, except that it's gonna be called "Flamingo" and you can also hear a short part of one song which I hope will be on the album. I really like the sound of this, and I truly can't wait for this album... i'm just feeling so excited!! Bring it on Brandon!! :D

It's a thursday.

2010-04-15T10:43:00.001+02:00

This week felt kinda empty... every day i woke up early, went to school, waited my time to pass, went home and then took some mins to relax... listen some music until i just got so tired that i fell asleep... but i won't complain, cos it finally feels like summer is coming and it's getting much warmer in Sweden. I feel the sunshine! :) so everything feels much easier and the time is just flying by... today i just felt some kinda inner peace for the first time in a while, like everything felt okay... otherwise i'm glad i finally had the speech in school for the swedish national exam... i feel so proud of myself that i actually did it!! even though i feel like i messed up a bit because i got nervous... i guess everyone noticed how much my hands were shaking and how many times i said something totally wrong, but i still feel it was ok! nothing is perfect ;) don't know what else happened these days... well yesterday i had some time over so i went to H&M and saw some adorable shirts with Hello Kitty, so i'll go back there this saturday and hopefully buy one!! :) however i feel like i've bored everyone enough... time to go, since my physics class begins in 5 mins! See you everyone, have good day! ;)

Waiting for summer days to come... ♥

30 Seconds to Mars live in Stockholm 10/3-2010

2010-04-03T11:49:00.008+02:00

It's been almost a month since i saw 30 Seconds to Mars live and I still remember the feeling as it was yesterday. I came there with no expectations at all, cos i had no idea what to expect really... but as soon as they started playing I realized that this was gonna be something spectacular. What i really loved about them was how much they care about their fans, especially the Echelons. It just felt like we're all a big family and even though i'm not a real Echelon, it feels like i am because that night changed me. Suddenly i saw life in a whole different way and Jared telling us not to be shy, to jump, to scream, to dance, to do whatever the fuck you want...just so you have the best fucking time of your life... that was magical to me. There was so many other amazing moments, as when Jared invited some fans on the stage while he sang 'Kings & Queens' and when he said how he wants to make love to everyone in the audience, it was so funny... Jared is crazy (in a good way) ...that's just to name a few moments, cos I could talk about this concert for hours I think... maybe even days, but I won't do that because some things just can't be told. You have to feel it yourself to understand it, so i'm leaving it for everyone who reads this to go and buy a ticket to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert. If they're not coming to a place near you, then just have patience, and eventually you'll see them.
Here's a video from the concert, watch it! :)

that moment, it's not just a dream

2010-04-03T00:56:00.009+02:00

As i listen to chasing cars... my tears finally come, real tears and then i remember a dream...
how we wanted to forget about the world... just lie down... look at the stars... forget about everything... you and me... do you remember?
So whatever happens in life... i'm here, i'm waiting, i'm holding on... even if life gives us a million changes, even if it takes a thousand years til' that moment comes... cos in the end, that moment, it's not just a dream.

It's good to eat fruits :)

2010-04-02T22:50:00.004+02:00

I just love these pictures

NIRVANA.

2010-04-02T21:56:00.005+02:00

Wish i was there, how amazing this was... it's like wow!
btw does anyone notice that dude jumping on stage? haha i'm dying

Never regret something that once made you smile.

30 SECONDS TO MARS!

2010-04-01T18:08:00.007+02:00

cos all of the stars are fading away, just try not to worry, you'll see them some day

2010-03-28T20:47:00.007+02:00

It feels bad that i'm keeping this place silent, but i don't really have anything to say... lately i've been so stressed and busy. Things have happened, people has confused me and my mind has been spinning around, but i'm surviving... life isn't always easy. So now i just have to survive this week, and then i think my mind can finally get some time to relax... feels like a whirlwind, really. But i don't want to complain, cos my problems are nothing compared to so many worse things happening in the world...

I'm just happy that i'm able to feel love from my family and friends, and that i'm able to give them love... which i think i haven't done enough, i owe those people so much. I'm doing my best to give everything of myself, to those who deserve that from me. But there's also another thing that i'm happy about, and that's music... because sometimes the people you love can't be there, and it's hard to feel them... but then you have music, and it's always there. You can always feel music... so that's what i'm doing right now...

One of the most beautiful songs in the universe... honestly, everyone has to agree with me on that, right?
// Missie

Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.

2010-03-21T18:06:00.002+01:00

I don't have anything to say right now, only that everyone should listen to 30 Seconds to Mars. It's such a fucking amazing band, hell yeah! I might write about the concert later, even though i'm almost two weeks too late with that. But i'll do it, cos it deserves a post.
That's all for now, see you everyone ;)

Save the dolphins in Japan

2010-03-20T15:51:00.006+01:00

Yesterday I wrote an assignment for school about the slaughtering of dolphins in Japan, and I realized how big this issue is, people need to know about this, or else this won't be stopped... that's why i'm publishing my assignment here, if it's to any help, here it goes:

Every year there are around 23 000 dolphins, porpoises and small whales that get killed for no reason at all. It’s time to stop the horrible slaughter of dolphins in Japan and to do that; the whole world needs to take action. We cannot let this happen anymore, we need to make a change and save them.

Around 2500 of the dolphins are killed in the dolphin drive hunt which goes on for six months each year in the small fishing village Taiji in Japan. It’s one of the most horrible ways that they use for killing dolphins, in which the fishermen chase the dolphins until they get trapped inside a cove, where they kill them with their spears. Most of those dolphins die during the chase which can last for eight hours or more. The rest of the dolphins are killed with handheld harpoons out in the sea. Fishermen kill those dolphins mostly because dolphins eat fish and that is why the fishermen see them as a competition in fishing, but they also sell the meat in the Japanese food market, so that the meat does not go to waste. It’s often labeled as whale meat, as dolphin meat contains high toxic levels of mercury which is dangerous for people to eat. The Japanese government knows about this and does nothing about it.

There are many people in the world who does not know about the dolphin slaughter which is happening in Japan. The majority of those people are the people in Japan, because this issue does not get enough attention in the Japanese media. If more people knew about this issue, there could be a change. Those dolphins should have the same rights as we people have, to be alive. That is why we need to spread the word about this, and do our best to stop the slaughter of dolphins and eventually save them.

If you want to know more about this, go here SaveJapanDolphins.org and watch The Cove!

Remember?

2010-03-17T20:58:00.017+01:00

Just looked at the old pictures and remembered how your smile is the brightest in the world... oh btw, please don't kill me when you see this... i know you like ^^

Magic, can you feel it?

2010-03-13T12:22:00.003+01:00

Sometimes I forget how it feels to feel magic. Sometimes I forget it's even possible to feel magic. But sometimes magic happens and that's when I remember once again that magic exists.
It's been around two days since I saw 30 Seconds to Mars, but I can still feel the magic I felt there... it's kinda crazy i've constantly been thinking about that concert these days, but that's because I don't want to forget how it feels this time. I want to hold on to that feeling, so I can remember that magic is possible.
So here's to magic. Let's believe in it, because it does exist... everywhere.

PS. I'll write another post about the concert soon! :)

Stockholm at night

2010-03-06T21:21:00.006+01:00

So today I was walking in town and had to take some pics, even if they're messy and blurry... so i'm kinda happy about something, that you can see in these pics... does anyone notice what it is?

Yep, the snow is gone... at least in town!!

...and of course i had to take a pic of my shoes! just cos i love that ;)

Hope everyone's having a great night!

This is for those, who are looking at the stars

2010-03-04T20:45:00.007+01:00

Lately I haven't been writing a lot here... but sometimes I just feel like my thoughts are a mess. They aren't worth writing down, because it's just nonsense... so instead I think of quotes and pictures that I find inspiring... today i'm thinking of Oscar Wilde's famous quote...

We are all in the gutter,
But some of us are looking at the stars.

It reminds me how everyone has problems, life isn't perfect for anyone... but some people still try to look at the bright side and hope that things always can get better. So, this is for those people... I admire you.

...

2010-02-28T19:37:00.002+01:00

Halleluuujaah...

2010-02-27T21:45:00.004+01:00

Haha, i'm dying ^^ Mr Bean rocks.

There's a movie i'll never get tired of...

2010-02-27T20:14:00.012+01:00

So I just got home... turned on the TV and the first thing I see is 10 Things I Hate About You. I almost started crying cos I love that movie so much, I know now I really sound like a baby, but it's brilliant... really, one of the best movies of all time. I also get sad watching this movie cos I miss Heath Ledger. He was such an amazing actor, but I hope he's in a better place now... resting in peace.

This scene is one of my favorites...
Kat: You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know.
Patrick: Yeah I know. But then you know there's always drums, and bass, and maybe even one day a tambourine.

BTW I think I won't take a break from this blog... I gotta keep it going ;) ♥

Time for a break?

2010-02-27T09:49:00.003+01:00

I'm sorry for not updating this blog enough... I haven't been feeling so well these days, it's just what happens when it's winter :/ but i also don't have so much to say right now... so for a while this blog might have a little break, but you never know... probably i'll be back sooner than i think. So I hope everyone has a good day... keep shining on people! :)

There is always hope.

2010-02-23T03:07:00.000+01:00

This is what I see in my dreams...

2010-02-21T22:38:00.007+01:00

Luciano made this beautiful hug... it's what I see in my dreams every time I dream of him, it ends with this hug... i'm sure i've gotten crazy^^ but that's my dream, this hug... feeling him alive. It might take forever until that happens, but i'll hold on to my dream. I know it's worth it. So hug your friends, hug your family, hug the people you love while you can, because you only have one life, one chance to hug them so do it... and to those who can't hug their loved ones... Hold on and never let go of your dreams ♥

My tribute for Luke ♥

2010-02-20T23:08:00.008+01:00

This is my amazing best friend Luke :) I started talking with him around 3 years ago and we've been through so much together, even though we've never really met because he's from England and i'm from Sweden, so that makes it kinda hard for us to meet. But I really hope we'll meet someday, hopefully soon :) I remember when we first started talking, he was annoying me so much because he thought there was a 2nd Titanic movie and I told him it wasn't true, so we fought about that^^ but eventually we started talking more and more... so we became really good friends and our friendship grew stronger. I can't thank him enough for always being there for me, making me laugh so much, understanding me, believing in me, and simply because he's still my friend, even if I can be so complicated at times. Thank you so much Luke, you don't know how much you mean to me :)

Luke is also a fashion student and a very talented model. I'm sure that i'll see him working as a model and designer in the future, because he truly loves fashion. It's always been his passion and I really wish that all his dreams come true. If anyone wants to know more about him, you can read his awesome blog: luqman06.blogspot.com - read it or else!! ;) I love you best friend!! ♥

Happy Birthday Mommy! :) ♥

2010-02-20T20:45:00.007+01:00

My sweetest wonderful mommy and best friend, who raised me and made me into the person I am today. I can't put it into words how much I love you and how much you mean to me. You know that you really mean everything to me, I love you so much ♥

My song is love.

2010-02-20T17:46:00.001+01:00

I only wish...

2010-02-19T18:39:00.011+01:00

...i could hug you, but it's hard to reach you, cos the screen is in my way :/

What to write about?

2010-02-17T19:55:00.002+01:00

I really don't know what to write about here, i wish i had something good to say, something that could cheer people up... I guess, that was the purpose with this blog, but I don't know better... all i've got is my messy feelings and things that inspire me, like pictures and songs, but that can be boring sometimes... so, if anyone reads this blog, I would like you to tell me what you wish me to write about... really, because this blog is a big part of me, and I wish it could be something more than that, something for everyone... so please, everyone tell me your opinions. /Missie

Starbucks, where are you?

2010-02-16T19:46:00.009+01:00

I'm in serious need of Starbucks... but we don't have it here in Sweden (I think, maybe there is one?) while in most countries you can see a Starbucks in every corner. That is just not fair. But to be honest, I haven't tried their coffee yet, I would like to try it, but I always prefer taking the hot chocolate... I guess, I just love chocolate too much^^ Ah, I wish I could build a Starbucks here... but who knows? maybe someday.

This song is stuck in my mind, it's like a drug... and I love every single bit of it.

This must be the best new show, I just watched this on tv and it touched me so much, how sweet they are! :) I'm officially a gleek!

Little thoughts.

I used to go there whenever there was something I wished to say, but couldn't tell it to anyone or just to free my mind... today I wished that, because there are things that no one can understand, that no one cares about. So, I go there... Little Thoughts.

My little tribute for One Tree Hill

2010-02-10T15:56:00.020+01:00

Some days I find myself watching old episodes of One Tree Hill and today is one of those days, as i'm at home with a really bad flu :/ but One Tree Hill immediately made me shine me up for a while and forget about the flu. So, I just suddenly felt how I have to write about it here. I think it deserves a tribute, because it means so much to me. For me, One Tree Hill is not just any show. It's a show where I learnt how important it is to be yourself. It's a show that made me believe, in my dreams, love and life. It's a show that opened up a whole new world for me, where everything's possible- if you just believe. I guess that's one of the things that made me into the believer I am today and i'm so thankful for that, because that's what keeps me going, however hard life gets. Always believe it can get better, everything is possible... You can make it. That's the whole message of the show, and i'll never get tired of that... One Tree Hill forever in my ♥

"Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world. Maybe it's nothing like it. But, if you look closely you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way; someone trying to find their place; someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on; just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you." - Lucas Scott

Hearts.

2010-02-08T20:55:00.002+01:00

I just tried to make some hearts in Photoshop on my own, for the first time and they really suck, I don't like how they look. But hey... time to spread some love, or what does everyone think? ;)

California, here we come...

Me with mom at Universal Studios, LA, California. My expression looks like "Oh my god! I just saw... wow!" because every second there was like that for me, I still can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I went there.

There's so much that I miss about it; the long traffic jams, going to Starbucks, feeling the warmth of the sun, my silly thoughts about how I might see someone famous, our cool hotel in Downtown, seeing that the stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame really exists, trying Jamba Juice, walking at Rodeo Drive, thinking how Julia Roberts walked there too in Pretty Woman, seeing all the fancy stores, the long car drive to Orange County, thinking how I wish I could capture every moment of that, getting scared by a Shrek movie at Universal Studios, chasing some ducks in the middle of downtown, going to Santa Monica beach, seeing how the people are on the beach, even in the evening while the sun goes down...
Every moment so beautiful, filled with magic.

Check it out ;)
