I can't believe that this is out. That was a weird morning. LOL. I dom't know why but I love acting and it's so much fun but also at the same time kind of embarrassing. I don't know why but it just is. Hahahaha, just watch the video. your writer, Erika

Hi! how is everyone doing in this heat wave? Hahaha it's not really a heat wave here in Stockholm but I was sitting on my balcony before and it was really hot with the afternoon sun just staring right at me. I got a little tan but no tan lines. But almost thank god for that. I mean you want tan lines just to show that you have been outside but I am wearing this dress today with avery high neck line so i don't think that would be very pretty. It has a very low back to compensate, but still. I got a little anxious before because I have been working from home today, just sitting on my ass with my computer in my lap. I mean I have been still not really doing much in the sense of moving. Then I remembered that I worked out this morning. I actually have been working out every morning for the past three days. So I am good I guess. I love yoga and what it has done to my body. I love it because of how flexible I have gotten! Yoga really is the way to keeping your body looking fresh an...

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

Oh! I haven't blogged in over a week (not that is uncommon lately but still) and a lot has happened since then. I turned 23. I have worked a butt load, including shooting a commercial. Oh my God, that felt so good! I haven't done anything like that in too long! But I haven't had time. You know school and work have taken over my life lately. I am just so over and done with this semester and just want it to be over. I missed to lectures this week because of everything. Ugh, not something I preferred but it was for a good cause and I wouldn't just "let go of" school for just anything. Even though this week has been a lot it has been fun. Making money is always fun. Being able to pay your bills is even more fun! My birthday was good. My mom came to visit and it was nice. She folded my laundry, did the dishes, took out the trash and cleaned my apartment. She was like "What are moms' for?!". LOL, she said it not me. It was really nice of her. She wok...

LOL. I am about to go to bed but I just wanted to post something before. Sorry that I haven't updated much these last few days. I have just been busy with work. Both at Espresso House and with acting. Gosh. LOL but I love keeping busy! I get bored and restless otherwise, but at the same time I get super stressed when I have stuff to do all of the time. Or maybe that was just Grönan. I didn't really feel welcome there. I liked Gröna, it was a good experience but it is not something that I would do again because the bosses they break you down. Idk but they are very tough and don't listen to what you have to say. I am glad that I have a great boss now. He's really nice. I have another shoot tomorrow. But I am happy about that. happy to get back in the game. I haven't done much lately because of Grönan. Grönan sucks up all of your energy and time. I mean your days at Grönan are so long. But I have no problem with that. The more you work the more money you'll earn, ...

Hello my little readers! How are you this Easter? I am good anyway. I am watching this movie on TV. The story take place in som southern state and idk but there accounts has me think that I need to start practicing accents again. I used to practice my British accent for one hour every day. Now I think that it is okay. I mean in my ears it sounds British but I also think that my normal English speaking voice sounds American and Americans don't seems to thinks so. None Americans do. Okay, it was a while since I asked anyone or anyone commented on that but still. I mean if I really want to be an actress someday it would be nice to know some accents. It's a good talent to have. Also if the acting thing would never work out or I would choose to do/ end up doing something else it would be a nice party trick. Maybe I should practice my swedish english accent. I want to be able to do that, sound like a real swede when I speak english. your writer, Erika

OMG Sweden why do have to be so cold! Gosh! I feel like I have a topic tonight. Something that has become a common theme in my life lately but I don't want to blog about it because. Just because. So how is everyone else tonight? I am actually really good. I booked two things for next week within like the span of five minutes so that is pretty bad ass. Plus like they seemed to really want me for one of the things since the guy kept calling me. But I couldn't answer because I was busy and then my phone died because I had no batteries left. When I turned on my phone again I got like a million texts from different people and several missed calls. So I called everyone back and I booked two things. Well three kind of. So all in all, I guess it's been a good day. 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

Wait what happened to the time? Like, a few minutes ago it was 8 PM and then I decide to watch The Vampire Diaries and NTL Coriolanus , and woops it's past 11 PM. SMH, hahaha. LOL. Do you know what tomorrow is? Of course you do. It's the premiere of Where We Are ! Aaaah! I am so excited to see it. Hmmm, but there is just one problem thought - I don't know what to wear. Hmmm. That is a huge problem. Maybe if I had that skirt that I blogged about last night (you see, I told you that my life would be so much better if I had it! It would even solve a krises, the one that I am having right now about not knowing what to wear tomorrow when I am going to the movies #firstworldproblems). I'll figure something out. You know that I have been posting monologues on youtube (yeah I know that they are terrible!). I want to redo them because I know that I can to do better than that. I posted a little preview on keek of one of the monologues that I have been working. I'll post t...

OMG, hi guys! How are you? I am good. Been baking all day. Well, most of the day anyway. Cinnamon buns, because it's the Cinnamon Bun Day and regular bread. LOL. Baker Babe, that's me. Hahahahaha. I told you guys that it was going to be a good weekend! Like today I have been baking all day. Fun fun (also a little bit exhausting). And tomorrow I am going to be an extra in this cute cool little film. It's not going to be shown in the theaters. It's just a film for educational purposes. I don't know how to put it really, but it's an informational educational film. (LOL that sounds weird, like I just made up my own word. Hahahaha.) That's going to be fun. It's going to be a long day, but I my call time isn't until 10:45 AM which mean I don't have to be up super early. LOL. I wouldn't be up now if I had to be up super early tomorrow morning. I was watching TV earlier and I saw that Flight on TV tomorrow. I got so excited that I screamed! I lov...

Hello boys and girls! Hmmm, now was that about me going to blog earlier in the evening and not so late at night. Well. I mean I guess, old ingrown habits are hard to quit. Hahaha. Do you have any bad habits? Hahaha. Of course you do. Everyone have bad habits, maybe you don't see it yourself but just ask anyone close to you and they will know. They might not tell you to spare your feelings but, something will surely pop into their minds. So what is everyone up to this weekend? I have to study for a screen test that I have for this short film on Monday. Wish me good luck. Wait NO! That's bad luck, pray that I break a leg - that is good luck. Weird, yeah. LOL. It's not that I have plenty of lines. It's just one scene with a few lines but I want to do this right. I want to part. LOL, I just want to act so yeah that is why I want this to do well. I am going to study hard for that but I am probably going to the movies tomorrow. Idk. My life is really filled with that many...

Hola mi amigos! How are you? I am good. I was an extra today in an episode of a Swedish sitcom called 112 Aina . I think that it was episode five of the upcoming season (season 3). Anyway. It was fun. I met a few interesting people. There was a guy named Diva, and yeah he lived up to his name. LOL. Tomorrow, I have this screen test for an infomercial. It sounded like fun when the casting director called me yesterday. I hope that goes well, I mean you never know with these things. You just gotta keep going and working hard. Not that I am doing major stuff. But idk, you got to start somewhere. The screen test is the only thing that I have booked tomorrow and it's in the morning so I don't know what I will do with the rest of my day. LOL. Maybe I'lls just go back home and have a Harry Potter marathon. Idk. Something. Well, I have stuff that needs to be done. I mean I guess that they are important but idk. your writer, Erika

Hi guys. How are you today? I am okay I guess. I went and watch this new Swedish game show today. It was okay. I don't know when it when it will. When I know I'll tell you a little bit more about the show. When I was there I met this woman who is in the same acting workshops as I. So that was fun. We sat next to each other during the taping and discussed what we thought was he right answer. The show was interesting but I don't think that I'll watch it when it airs. I mean it's fun to go to a taping but, idk Swedish game shows, or game shows in general for that matter isn't really my thing. On my way home, on the bus I met this woman who I always meet at TV show taping and - funny thing - she works at the school where I take the acting workshops. Funny. Small world. OMG, I seriously don't know how to finish this post. I don't know what to talk to you guys about. There is too much on my mind to sort out what to tell you guys. Hahaha sorry. I gotta think...

Hi guys! So I just heard the song that Harry Styles wrote that's on Ariana Grande's new album. Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart . Oh my God! So good! That man got skills as a songwriter. Wow. Okay he co-wrote it with a Swedish songwriter called Johan Carlsson. But still. They make a good team. They make an awesome team! I can't wait for this weekend. Acting workshops and RIX FM Festival. I don't know what I am more excited about actually. LOL, who are we kidding here? Of course the RIX FM Festival. I have been looking forward to this ever since that first time I met Ella (June 18th to be exact if anyone cares or want to count the time duration). While, I was waiting for her I check her fb page and saw a post about her going to perform at the festival. I am not just excited about Ella's performance 'cause there is a bunch of artist that I like that are set to perform. I hope that I don't miss anything good because of the acting workshop. As soon as the works...

Hola mi amigos! How are you? I am good. I have learned so many useful things this weekend. A really nice weekend (even though I have had to go to bed "on time" and get up a bit earlier). I am grateful and  I am taking my new learned skills into practice. LOL. Maybe too much but it's good to practice! I have been going to these acting workshops this weekend. That's why I have been having to get up a little bit earlier than usual. But not that much. It has been really fun. Yesterday we learned about body language and today we learned about vocal and speech. We learned this really good breathing exercise today which is really helpful. The teacher said that my voice was much better today than yesterday. It was better but I still need to work on it. I am going to do that thing (which is the totally most ridiculous super silly thing ever) until I get it right. Practice makes perfect. There are two more workshops next weekend. Before I booked these workshops I was kind o...

Hi guys! Today has actually been a good day. I gotta say. I have had some fun. I went on a little adventure. Nah, I went and shot this little thing for a commercial. It's was a lot of fun. I love acting. The director was really nice and funny. Before I went on my little adventure I bought T Swift's new single so I have been jamming to that all day (and will continue to do so all weekend). It's amazing! I posted the music video yesterday. In case you missed it you can check it our here . I really love that song. She looks really cool int the music video. I love the outfit when she's wearing all black. I wanted to wear that today but I don't have any black pants so I wore white pants instead. It didn't look good with leggings. Maybe it did but I didn't feel comfortable in it. T Swift has a great style. She should really get or own clothing line. I would buy that. She could get some help from her supermodel friends! That would be really cool! Tomorrow is Fr...

Hi guys. How has your day been? Mine have been hot. It's been really hot in Stockholm today. Like really hot. Ugh, I had to take a shower when I came home, because the weather. Well, well I prefer the summer over winter. Okay maybe not, I like both just in moderation you know. LOL. I got a nice tan line (not so much). Plus I got so much sun on my neck that it looked like I was dirty. Idek what to say about that. Hahahaha. What do you all think of my latest monologue? Do you think it's good. Like I can be very pleased with a monologue when I post it then when I watch it like several months later I have no idea why I posted it because I think it's so bad. In case you haven't seen my monologue you can watch it on my youtube channel  onenineninethree  or just clock on this link to get directly to the video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XexnOqSR_w0 . I hope that you think that I am talented. I haven't chosen my next monologue, which I should really do? See if I...

Hi guys, so I did my second monologue from the movie Freaky Friday . Yeah! And I have just uploaded it to youtube. I hope that you think I am good. Please give me some feedback. Like what do you think of my english? Do I have an accent? Was it good acting? How was it compared to the original (LOL maybe not that one because, Jamie Lee Curtis is a really good actress and I am just a girl who is a wannabe actress)? Watch the monologue and comment below! your writer, Erika

Hi guys. Hmmm, there was something I was going to write, it was just a sentence but whatever. I guess it wasn't important enough since I don't remember it. LOL, anyway I have been a good girl today. Why? I went for a walk. LOL. Okay maybe that does not certify me as being a good girl, but like I went for an hour long walk. Plus I walked this trail in the forest where there are many kinda steep ups and downs. LOL. I feel like I got something out of it. Maybe I should mention that the trail is 2,2 km long. That is about 1,4 miles for those of you who don't understand the metric system. Hahahaha. I am sitting here looking at monologues to do this weekend and I am kind of in-between either Finding Nemo  and Freaky Friday . I don't know which one yet but I'll decide tomorrow. Which movie to you think that I should take on? I like them both. LOL. I am also sitting here researching agencies. Talent/ acting agencies (is there any different between the two? I don't g...

Hi guys! How are you feeling tonight? I am good. So I finally did that monologue that I have been meaning to do ever since I got back from London. Seriously, I chose it before I went to London and I thought that I would post it the weekend after I got back but, IDK it never happened. Now I kinda had to slap myself in the face to do it. Woop woop. I mean it's not hard. I could actually do one monologue a day because it does not take that long to memorize something like that. This monologue is from the movie The Wizard of OZ . your writer, Erika
