Erika's World

You know what (because I don't think that I have told you this)! Alena  is finally premiering in Swedish theatres on August 19th! How cool isn't that?! I mean yeah a shower version has already been shown on TV and it has been on film festivals around the globe. This, is big! It's going to be shown in movie theatres around Sweden! People will be watching me in theatres. Okay yeah so I have a really small part but still. It's cool! For me this is big. Hahahaha. I think that Partaj and Alena are the biggest things that I have done. I do have a few things coming out with-in the next couple of months. I'll tell you more about that when it happens. Here is the official trailer for Alena  (just in case you need to be reminded): your writer, Erika

Hi everyone! How are you? I am good. Or that depends. I just finished watching If I Stay  and that movie is so good and so sad. If gave me all kinds of feels. I just bawled my eyes out so much it has giving me a headache. I mean it was worth it because it's such a good movie. But still OMG. How has every one's day been? Mine has been kind of chill. I hopped in for a few hours and helped out at the café. It was nice. Then I got home, ate some dinner and watched the movie. Now I am sitting here and watching How I Met Your Mother . Pretty nice day. Just chilling. Tomorrow is going to be nice as well because I have a shoot. It's some education video for Socialstyrelsen so it won't be on TV. But it's still acting and I am getting paid to act. It's a step forward in the right direction. LOL. Hey, have you listened to Meghan Trainor's new album yet? It's great. She realsed it this Friday! You should go on spotify and listen to it! your writer, Erika

Hi everyone! How are you? I had actually had a really good weekend. First free weekend in what feels like forever. School seems to be taking over my life lately and the course is not even that fun. Well, it's over in a few months anyway. Yeah so I had a good weekend. I went to see my family yesterday because my sister had a birthday on Monday. Which instead of celebrating my sister seemed to turn into "Lets all tell funny stories about Erika when she was a kid", which wasn't funny at all. And I don't even know how the subject came up. Whatever after that I met up with a friend. We went and saw How To Be Single  which was way better than expected. Like seriously I cried during the movie. It had really beautiful moments, or maybe I was just emotional. Either way it was a good movie and I cried. LOL. How To Be Single trailer :) your writer, Erika

Hi guys! Sorry that I have been so m.i.a. lately but I have just been really busy at work. Not completely true. YES, I have been busy at work so I really haven't had much time for anything else. But I had three days off this week which was really nice and now I work tonight and then I have two days off again. Pretty sweet. Like I had three days off, work all day yesterday and now tonight and then I have two days off again. Gash! LOL. I am gonna try do do a better job at updating. Also I am so sorry that I have posted anything from Alena . I mena screen shots and pictures from when we were shooting. Well, there are some on my instagram but I mean like more stuff. It's now off SVTPlay and sorry in case you missed it but you don't have to be super duper sad because it will be in theaters. I don't know when I just know that it will. Funny thing though. I saw the producer of Alena  at Gröna Lund where I work. That was fun. Now on a more serious not... I am have fallen in l...

Hi guys! I have to go to work soon but I thought I do a super quick post before that. How are you? I am okay I guess. I only slept about an hour and half last night. I just had a lot on my mind that I couldn't stop thinking about. I am glad I got some sleep at least. It's going to be interesting to see how today goes since I have a long day at work ahead of me. I went and saw Magic Mike XXL  with Fanny last night. It was weird having out with her because we have barley spoken or seen each other in a few months. But it was fun going to see the movie. IA NOT GOING TO SPOIL IT FOR ALL OF Y'ALL WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET! I am keeping my mouth shut. All I am going to say it that it is way better than the first movie and you will not be disappointed when you do go and see it. So SEE IT! your writer, Erika

Hi again or whatever. How are you guys? Did you have a good weekend? I kind of did. No I actually did. I feel like I got a lot done with my essay. It is basically done. I went to the movies with a friend who I barely see since we live in different cities, and school and work comes in the way for the both of us. But this weekend she was in Stockholm so we went and saw Cinderella . It was really good. Today I went to a kids party for little Olivia who turns FIVE! Well, she turns five in a couple of days but the party was today. My cousin, Moa, from London was there because she took a quick trip to Stockholm because of the Melodifestivalen finale that was last night. I didn't know that she was going to come so I had to quickly wrap her present as well and write her card so that I could give it to her now (and save myself some money on shipping). Her birthday is not today either, it's in like 10 days or so but she is just such nice person that I really wanted to give her something....

Oh I noticed that I didn't blog yesterday so I am doing a quick one now. Before the day has even started. Right now I am just sitting on the couch with my laptop in my knee watching The Little Couple . I have started to like that show. At first I thought is was absolutely annoying every time it came on TV (as I think with every reality show, even the housewives that I now can enjoy watching. You laugh at them and not with them. Sometimes with them.) It's like my morning show. LOL. Do you watch TV in the morning? When I lived in the US I liked to watch the Today Show or sometimes GMA . I went and saw Fifty Shades of Grey  with Fanny (pronunced funny). It was a good movie and I do hope that they make a sequel. I mean with that ending they are kind of obligated to do so. But I have seen better movies latley but this movie is absolutely worth taking two hours of your life to see. I don't know if a blu-ray copy will end up in my bookshelf but it's absolutely worth your ti...

Oh, it is past 11 PM so maybe it is time for me to write something for you guys before I get too tired. LOL. So what have you all done today? I went and saw Taken 3 . It was good and you should definitely see it if you have seen the other two. So yeah, I do recommend it! Out of the three movies the first one is the best, then the third one and last the second one. Aaaah! Tomorrow I am going to try to be more honest with myself and go thorough my closet. I need some new year cleaning. I just need to g through my closet and get rid of stuff period! Gash. That is hard! Because getting rid of a t-shirt is like giving away one of you children. Not that I have kids but I am imagining that is what it feels like. I know that I have a few things that I haven't used in a while. Hmm. Well. We'll see how honest I will really be with myself. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! How are you all today? I am good. My sleeping pattern is still a little fucked up but I am good. I have been home all day long doing none of the things I feel like I should have had done. But the day isn't over yet. There is still time to get things done. But not right now because I am watching War Horse on TV and that means Benedict Cumberbatch AND Tom Hiddleston at the same time [heart eyed cat emoji]. LOL. I am sitting here looking at bags online because I want a new one. The handles on mine are looking a bit broken. The rest of the bag is fine but it is the handles. If I knew a good way to replace just them that I would do that. Oh, I just thought of a thing. I gotta go to Panduro some day and see what they have! I am a genius. But I still want a new bag though. your writer, Erika

OMG! I am so sorry! I have done it again - not blogged for several days! Ooops! LOL. But Happy New Year everyone! Did you have a good night last night or this morning or however/ whenever you celebrated? I did! I had a fantastic time. I made other plans and spent New Years with friends and I don't want to kiss and tell but lets just say that it was pretty eventful. Or maybe lets just put it as that way I experienced it. I am excited for the year to come! 2014 was an funny year, especially the last few months! I have had a lot of fun and got to do things that I have dreamt of my whole life. Plus I have made some really great friends. I really love the chance I got of begin an extra in Alena - a movie that I am really excited to see! When I know more about the release date of the movie I will tell you. I hope that I will get more chances like that in 2015! your writer, Erika

Hi guys! How are you all this Sunday evening? LOL it's almost midnight here, so I am going to try to finish this fast so that I can go to bed before midnight. Seriously, I have a problem! Need to STOP staying up this late! Gosh. I mean I am 21. I don't know what that means. Yes I am 21, which just kind of stating facts here but Idk what I meant with that "I am 21". Whatever. OMG! So I just finished watching Super 8 . Damn, a lot of freaky things happening in that movie. (Sorry if I am spoiling here for y'all who haven't seen the movie but want to. But seriously though, the movie came out in 2011 so you have had your time to see it!) I do recommend it to all of you who are thinking about seeing it. You will not regret it! It is an action packed thriller that will keep you on the edge of your sofa for 112 minutes (1 h 52 min). There are a few WTF moments! Like in the beginning I was like "WTF is this movie?!" But like in a good way. So you should rea...

Hi guys! I don't what to talk to you guys about first because there are a few things that I could bring up. Idk but like this whole week I have been in such a goos mood. "This whole week" - yeah yeah I know that it is only Wednesday but idk, there are a few things that have made me few particularly good. Just put me in a good mood. Life is good right now. Just like really good. Hahahaha. So whose got FOUR ? I do! Y'all already know that! Duh! I am a Directioner, of course I am not going to to miss out on an album release like that! It's freaking One Direction! Okay, that is enough of exclamation marks. I love the album! (Okay, sorry that is the last one.) It is amazing. I was really worried though before I listened to it because I read a few comments about the album in SWD. Idk, they could have had been kidding though. As I said, idk but someone said they the album was and that they were disappointed with the album. That got me sacred! (Sorry, can't stay awa...

Hi guys! How are you today? I am good. Good so far. LOL. I am working very late tonight, to 1 AM.  Yikes. LOL. I'll probably sleep all day tomorrow. Last night (or early this morning depending on how you see it) I worked until 12:30 AM. Yeah. I am excited to see Wild tonight. I mean I hope that I can see it. Unless there is like one billion things to do. I don't know what to write here. Oh, I just thought that tomorrow I might show you a few pictures from the set of Alena . Mostly selfies, but there was the scene the other day and they had these really cool light so the pictures came out amazing! Aaah. You don't even need a filter when you post them on instagram. So I might just show you guys that tomorrow. Have a great Saturday! your writer, Erika

Hi guys! How are you? I am good. I am working tonight at Skandia for Stockholm Film Festival. That is gong to be exciting because tonight is the premiere of Benedict Cumberbatch new movie The Imitation Game . I am kind of excited about that. Hopefully I can catch a peek of that. I am working after all so that is the priority. Hopefully the movie will be well received! The trailer seems really good. I am also working tomorrow night. Then it is the premiere of Reese Witherspoon. It's gonna be a fun weekend! I mean yeah I am working a lot (and very late) but it is not a s bad as it sounds. It's kind of fun. Skandia is more fun that Reflexen because a lot more happened there. Plus I am not alone. Okay, I wasn't alone when I worked at Reflexen because Fanny came and helped me. (Thank you girl!) Talk to some more tomorrow! your writer, Erika

Hi guys! I gotta say, yesterday was boring. Working at Reflexen was boring. I can't wait to get back to Skandia on Friday. LOL. I mean it's boring because it's just me and then the ladies that work at the café the there. Yeah OMG! No. Good thing my dear friend Fanny came and kept me company for  a little while. Plus another girl came and worked a little bit so I watched one of the films. The Al Pacino movie, The Humbling . It was okay. I don't think that I will watched any of the films today. Or maybe I will, it depends on if anyone else will be working with me because I can't just leave the cash register. Well, well. Tonight, the last movie actually they're showing one of the horror films that I was talking about last week (?), The Editor . Yeah, I don't think that I will watch it. Or maybe just a little bit in the beginning. Idk. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! How are you? I am good! I feel like I am getting a sore throat tough, not so fun. Good thing that I bought cough drops the other day. I love these cough drops because they have a mint flavor that gives you a fresh breath. Awesome. I mean I guess that it can be useful sometimes. Hahahaha. I was looking at Stockholm Film Festival's websites and the different films that they are showing because I kind of want to go. I have never been to the festival. Like every year I am like "Oh, I should go this year." LOL. Maybe this is the year. There are these two very weird (judging from the trailers) horror thriller this year - Wyrmwood  and The Editor . Idk. They were just weird. I don't know want I want to see them, plus I am not the horror thriller kind of chick. No thank you. But maybe if lets say Harry Styles took me to see those films. If I could sit there and hold his hand I know that I'd be alright. Hahaha. Dream on girl! Ah, I'll find a non scary film t...

Hi guys! So today was the last day. I just felt weird but I am glad that I got to be a part of it, even if it was just as an extra. I feel like I have learn a lot. This is the first time that I feel like I have done anything that feels really professional. Yes, I have done things before as an extra but idk, this just felt more pro and more real. It was a lot of fun and I am very thankful. Before I left today I said goodbye to everyone and wished the good luck with the rest of the filming. You should check out the hashtag #alenathemovie on instagram and their facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/alenathemovie . your writer, Erika

You guys I am sad! Heartbroken! Maybe that is over exaggerating but I am a little sad because tomorrow is the last day on Alena. Well at least for me and the other extras (I think). The  production  just started so they still have a few of weeks left that, but it's the last time for me and most of the extras. I think that they will use other extras for some of the other scenes where they need extras. Idk, one of the extras said that  earlier  today. It's sad  because we (the extras) have hung out so closely this past week and now we have to part just like that. LOL. We'll  probably  see each other again soon. your writer, Erika

Waddup, waddup? How are you all today? I am good. I had a good day on the set of Alena The Movie  today. It was a short day. We (the extras) got to go home at about 2:30 PM, instead of our usual 5 PM. Woop woop! Plus this week we are actually in Stockholm so it doesn't take us over an hour to get to location. Another big plus is that we are shooting inside this week, but the school that we are at is like super cold. Maybe the heat is turned off since it fall break all in Stockholm right now. Idk. (If it is because of that it's good to know that they are environmental, or maybe their are just being economical.) I hope that you all have had a good start of the week. I have. I'll talk to guys some more tomorrow if I have time. your writer, Erika
