What a Girl Wants got me

A while ago I posted that I felt like I was becoming more mature. Well, after a morning urge to see What a Girl Wants, where I found myself crying my heart out (like always when I watch this movie, and I've watched it more than 15 times) when Colin Firth says "What I've been trying to say is that I love you Daphne and I wouldn't change anything about you..." I realized that, maybe I'm still that same old Sandra. But, who cares? I love that movie...

That Suzie Orman is sneaky...

Just finished watching some Oprah shows with the family, and Suzie Orman (my favourite) was there to discuss money and economy. What I liked in particular with this show was that they brought up the issue with children and money. Whether or not, the parents should inform their children about what comes in, and what goes out each month. The answer was yes, because children really don't understand the value of money these days. We are used to get what we want, and when we can't - "life sucks".

The reason for bringing this up is because, Suzie boldly said that the word allowance should be banned from the dictionary. That, money has to be earned by work and I am so with her! However, when she then said that money should not be given as a reward for good grades - I WANTED TO STRANGLE HER! Mum was sitting next to me, for goodness sake! I normally like Suzie...but, hello! Those grades are the grades of a very hardworking student!

Happy (but not the) Feet

Good morning! Right now I'm in a very good mood, besides that my toes are purple from freezing -.-. "But don't worry", I tell myself. As long as they are not dead! See, I'm in a good mood. :P This new found happiness must come from the fact that, I dragged myself out of bed too early this morning, to finish one of the two philosophy essays (first time in a lifetime I'm writing an essay before I start to panic =D) and soon is going to enjoy a lovely sushi lunch at East City with the adorable Gan family. Yes, that must be it. Ooh, and now Crazy in Love with Beyoncé and Jay-Z comes on MTV, that I haven't heard for ages...Is this my lucky day or what!!!??? :P

This is how it is done...How I work the Sandra-magic, you know...;P

What are sisters for? x)

Taking a looong walk in this country and at this time of year, was pretty impressive by me

Here we go again. From personal blog assistent, in charge of my layout, she now became my personal hairdresser. - And I, hers. It didn't get that much shorter though, because I really don't feel like looking like a poodle again (like in the beginning of school, last fall). Overall, she did a nice job. Thanks, jiejie! Anyhow, I think I did a pretty good job as well, in return. No complains...yet. Haha, but we'll see if they roll in later. Hopefully not though, because I reeaaaaalllly did a GREAT job! And, especially for being my first time to cut someone's hair. - If we delete the time when I took a pair of scissors as a little girl, and cut my hair like Cruella de Ville. Haha, I still remember mum's face when she was washing my hair that evening and noticed that there was a lot falling off -.-...

Ouff, now I'm going to see if I finally get some physics done -.-...I probably bore this little blog with all my physics crap all the time, but that will probably just strengthen the fact that I suck at it!!! Ok, enough now. Later little blog!

Photoshop is forgiven =)

The first part of my mini-blog-makeover is on. Thanks to my super sweet sister, that worked her designer magic with the help of photoshop. Yes, the program that crashed the computer a while ago -.-. But that is all forgiven now when I have a gorgeous heading to brag about! xD

Oh, almost 10 o'clock...I'm off to bed! And I'm serious. I really don't understand how I still can be so tired when I've had sleep in every morning from Friday. Was school really over using the energy I had? Anyhow, ticktack ticktack...sweet dreams!

Why why why?

Wouldn't life be so much easier if a pistachbulle (pistachio bun) and Milo provided you with all the vitamins, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and all the other needed nutritions your body needs? I just don't understand why they made it so complicated...

Important life lessons!

Good day, little blog! Right now I feel like sharing two life lessons that should not be taken for granted. Do you hear me? Do not take them for granted! This is Sandra speaking!

Life lesson no. 1: Never let a pimple persuade you. You may have heard that you really shouldn't squeeze a pimple, no matter how squeezable it may look. Because if you do, your skin can become scarred for life etc...(The things I never listen to when I am it). However, I'm telling you from experience, do not squeeze a pimple: "one squeezed, two new in the morning!" - See, karma is always with us...even in pimple issues -.-

Life lesson no. 2: Never go into business with a friend. (Especially not with a blonde, long-legged girl called Sabina, who the other day crossed over to the dark side by ignoring our contract -.-). And if anyone wants to know if I've got Facebook? - I'm not afraid of fighting alone for ditching it. While all you others get your identities and pictures owned by some "jj" community.

Dad at 13...

Sometimes I am just wondering what is happening to the world...This boy made his 14 years-old girlfriend pregnant. For godness sakes, he was 12 at that time and now he's 13. And the most ironic part is that they did not even consider abortion, they think that they can raise and care for this baby by themselves! Oh no, the most funny part is that 12 years-old are having SEX!!!

Friday the 13th

It is not only Friday today. It is Friday the 13th, but don't worry, bad luck never arrives on this "special" day. It is more likely it will arrive the day after. Which leads us to Valentine's Day, this year. Oh, shoot! -.- Hehe...

Not only did my Friday the 13th go like a flow so far, it has been GREAT! Sleep in, almost no lessons (missing maths was the greatest part xD), eating kokosbollar with the girls, and then the usual Mummy'n'Sandra-goes-shopping-on-Gränby-Centrum routine (where free Lindt chocolate were given to the people xD). So, with that boring(?)update of my Friday, that in my opinion was sooo good, I'm off to the couch for some shows of Oprah :). Oh, and almost forgot the nicest part - I'm officially free from duty in one week!!!

Happily ever after?

Leaving the house this morning was not very dramatic, but as closer the bus got to the eamination hall, where the maths test lay waiting, the faster my heart started to beat. Eventually, it stopped beating... - No, just kidding, haha...But it did slow down. I did not get fried like Burger King's crispy French fries at all, actually. I even think it went quite alright. How weird that sounds to say after a maths test! And, we'll also see if I change my mind if I get a F -.-...

So, with the maths test beyond my memory I did not think that the day could get better. But then there were the girls...=) Let the pictures speak for themselves...

Shame on Sandra

It's a maths test tomorrow. Obviously, I should study it during long lunch breaks like this, but what do you do when you just feel like not doing anything because you just feel so...heavy? Not heavy in weight, but in mind.

This week is one of those weeks when you just want to be a 65 years old retired grandma. No need for worrying about unneccessary issues, no need to drag yourself out of bed at 06.25 am. every morning and no need to feel guilty about using a long lunch break to blog instead of doing something you should be doing. - Or, hold on a second. Did I just say that the 65 years old grandma that I want to become is blogging? Hahaha...that would be something cool, huh!? We'll see if that will happen later I guess, haha...Anyhow, have my last lesson soon - history - wiiiee!!! So later, little blog!

Miss Independent

Good Lord the actors were hot

Just about one week ago (and I don't need to be reminded of what a bad blogger I am when I am living the busy life) sis and I once again went to the cinema to watch Revolutionary Road. - Yes, I know! When did I start going to the cinema twice a month?! That's a good question actually and the reason is even more simple - movie vouchers! However, no more cinema for a while now, since we used up the last two...

The reason why I brought this up is because, after watching the movie I just couldn't get my mind of thinking how everything we all see as perfect can end up so tragically? You seem to have everything a dreamlife should look like: a handsome and loving husband, kids, a big house and you don't have to work! And that's it. I believe that's the recipe for becoming DESPERATE! Desperate for passion. Desperate for a job outside the house. Desperate for freedom. Perhaps, you think that living the life as a housewife is the greatest freedom you can get...well think again! I mean, why did they then come up with the show Desperate Housewives?!

I am not assuming that all women that are housewives are desperate, however I believe that they one day will be in one form or another. When I was little, I always wanted to be a housewife. Everything just seemed to suit me so perfect...my husband brings in the money as long as I cook for him when he gets home, I can shop all day, meet friends whenever I want and just lay the whole day in front of the TV, without feeling guilty. Today, I am not so sure about that life. I don't want to be dependent on someone. I want to feel safe, but I certainly don't want to feel like someone has to save me all the time. I save myself! I want to bring in my own money, feel proud about myself and feel free...That's the life I see in front of me today and I hope that it will stay that way.
