I AM BACK!! Yes y'all I am back here. Yes I have been absent here for a very long time. Too long. I don't know why because it was going really well. But I started to miss blogging so I decided to try out an other platform. I don't that didn't feel like home, so now I am back here. This is home though.  I am still going to blog about fitness and a healthy lifestyle because that is who I am. So what am I up to now?  I just got started a new job about two months ago. I work as a secretary at a law firm. It is a really nice job and really nice colleagues. I am really looking forward to this new start! I think that we are going to have a lot of fun together! your writer, Erika

Hello! You know what, I am actually thinking about changing a blog platform. I am not sure about it and I am not sure which one. But I'll keep thinking about it. I want to do some changes to the blog and I am not sure this platform is the best. First of all I am not really sure what changes I want to do. But I'll keep thinking about it and we'll see what I'll do. your writer, Erika

I got my new stove/ oven today. They came and fixed it while was at work. It's not something fancy but I got a new stove which I am super excited about since my last one "caught fire". When I buy my own apartment I will make sure that it has the finest of everything. Most apartments has a nice stove and all of that or at least the ones that I have looked at (will show you some of my favorite apartments tomorrow). Maybe that's because I have a good/ expensive taste, call it what you want but I call it standards. your writer, Erika

Hi! So big things today! I actually started a new job. So much fun and exciting. The only thing that I miss from Espresso House is that this job is very sedentary. So I think that I am going to start taking walks during my lunch break. If I do that I don't have to take walks when I get home from work. I like to move around and be fit and healthy. This will totally solve my cardio problem. not that I had a cardio problem just that I wanted to include it more in my work out. Taking walks during my lunch hour will solve that problem. I'll tell you more about my new job later this week or next week. I mean because this week me and my new colleague are just going to learn everything about everything that we are going to do. It is a lot of new things. It is kind of scary but also a lot fun. You have to take these risks in life in order to grow as a person and learn new things. I am scared but I am excited for this. your writer, Erika

H guys! How are you? I am good I guess. Just sitting here trying to install my new phone but iCloud is not working with me. I don't know what the fuck is wrong because according to the iCloud settings on my computer I got 4,71 GB of storage available.  So why the fuck won't you fucking work with me! The fucking iPhone 5's fault. The iPhone 5 is my old phone. I don't know man. I don't know anything. If this thing that I am trying now is not working, I'll have to call apple tomorrow. your writer, Erika

Hi! OMG sorry for not posting anything the past few days but I have been busy working and doing other stuff. But I am here now and that is that important thing. Hahaha. So how are you all? Good I hope! I am good anyway. I have had the worst luck with my phone this weekend. The touch function stopped working! Hmmm. And now it seems to be working whenever it wants too. This is now funny! It is forcing me to buy a new phone. I mean I probably could get it fixed but why do that when there is a newer version of iPhone out. iPhone 6 here I come. LOL. We'll see. My phone might b working right now but I need one like asap! your writer, Erika

Hi guys how are you? I am good. I was really tired today at work. Today before lunch. I have no idea why. I was standing but the cash register and yawning. Not really the best way to act when you are supposed to greet costumers but I couldn't help it. LOL. Then I had lunch and I don't know but I guess I got some energy from the food because I wasn't the tired anymore. I mean I wasn't yawning anymore. LOL. My boss changed changed my shift for tomorrow. Instead of working 7 PM to 11 PM I work from 10:30 AM to 7 PM. At first I hesitated because it's a much longer shift but it's just nicer to get off work earlier. Oh so I sad (may it was last week) that I was going to try to do some new things for this blog. Tough I haven't come up with much yet, so everything is still in progress. I have decided, tough, that I will try do more things for this blog. I mean like more exciting stuff that is more fun for you guys to read about and more fun for me to blog about. P...

I am tired. Today has been a long day at the Partaj  studio. First we shot this little sketch and the we shot Sunday's episode (I think). Hahaha. It was fun but it is always a lot of waiting, a lot of sitting around, which is kind of annoying. But but it I like this job. We are going shoot at least once a week for 10 weeks forward (that's including today). What we are shooting now is the studio scenes, which just totally shattered my illusion because I thought that is was live for some reason but it not and the studio is way smaller in reality. Hahaha, the studio is always smaller then it seems. I really can't wait to watch the premiere on Sunday. The sketch on Partaj  that I am an extra in is called H ø llefjord High . It's a weird funny. It's weird and funny at the same time. One of the other extra's showed me the first episode of H ø llefjord High  today. It has been uploaded on Partaj's  official facebook page as a preview for the new season. I have to...

Okay so yeah. No videos. Yup. No video from The Wanted's rehearsal yesterday at Gröna Lund. Oh, why you may ask? Well I'll tell you why! Oh, yeah because you know that on/ off button on iPhone 5, the button you look your screen with didn't work on my iPhone. Well, it hasn't work for months and have just been to lazy to get it fixed but today I went and did it! Yeah and the reason I don't have the videos from yesterday is because I didn't transfer them from my iPhone to my computer before I went to the Apple Store. I mean the gave me a new phone and I don't have the videos on my new phone. So yup that's life. But I have the pictures! Yeah! So pictures you'll get. Gry Foresell (the host) during the rehearsals Gry during the live show LOL, I took a picture of myself in mirror on the stairs Janet Leon and her dancers during the rehearsals Janet during the live show A blurry picture together with Janet Loreen dancing by ...

Home again after my usual Saturday activity. Sommarkrysset  of course! Yeah. The Wanted, duh!! I feel like a bad Directioner. Lika I am cheating on them. IDK but I had fun anyway. During the rehearsals I gave Max a blow kiss and he gave a blow kiss back to me. AKLSDJFN! Up close, I gotta say, Max George has the most beautiful eyes. They are really beautiful! You know what? During the performance, or I mean right before their performance (before the cameras were on them and it was their time to sing) Max winked at me! AJSHFKLH! Oooo, I got to hold Nathan's hand! ASJKFSN! I was like "I am never washing this hand again! My precious!" I was joking. The Brand New Heavies were there too and Simon and Andrew looked at me a lot. Ok, maybe 'cause I looked at them a lot (I stood really near the stage, aka close to them). Simon posed for me when I was taking a picture. He was like "Oh, she's taking a picture." It was so much fun. Andrew kissed my hand! After their ...

Hello! Hahaha. How are you all feeling today? I am good. I went shopping today and that always puts a smile my face. New clothes. I got a pair of colored pants from Cubus, a whit top and a striped dress from H&M. Got to love H&M. The white top I got because I wanted something that would go with the pants, though I have stuff in my clothes that would go with the pants I wanted something new. Got to look fresh. The pants I love, they are like so spring fresh. The sales person said that they look tasty. LOL. I think she means because they have such a fresh color. I am going to let you in on a little secret, the dress is actually from the children's department because I wanted that dress with long sleeves instead short sleeves. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! I think that my bad habit from USA has followed me to Sweden. Hahaha. I think I fell asleep during class yesterday. Gosh what is happening to me?! It was a dark movie theater and a not so interesting movie. I was leaning on my bag and all of the sudden it was that boring music and closing credit (it was n Chinese so I really have no idea) and people were leaving. Ooops! Hihihi. But in the United States people couldn't really blame me. Well, I think so because I went up at 5:30 AM so that I could make it to my 8 AM class (keeping mind that it to me about 45 minutes to get to school). You know what? It takes me longer to get to school here in Sweden that it did in SB. WTF?! Like, "Hello, dude!" Like right now I am not like "Yeah!" about school but maybe it's like Sara said that once you get to know people it will be a lot more fun. I met this one girl today who has a friend at NYU and an other friend or maybe it was her friends' friend who goes ...

Hi and oh, sorry for not posting that video that I said that I was going to post. Sorry (again)! I will post it sometime tomorrow, December 31st swedish time. Tomorrow is New Years Eve. Yeah (, I don't know). I am just going to be home with my mom as usual. We're not going to do anything special. Just going to be home eat some food and watch some movies. I haven't seen Katy Perry's movie yet and since I have lived in her hometown I feel like I should see it (LOL). My mom wants to see War Horse  I know so we will probably rent that one too. I want to see Magic Mike  but that one don't come out on DVD until the 9th so I'll have to wait. Oh, we are going to make an American apple pie from a recipe in a book that I bought while I was in the US. The cookbook is called The Macy's Culinary Council: Thanksgiving & Holiday Cookbook . There is a Swedish chef in who has contributed with some recipe's for the book, his name is Marcus Samuelson. His chapter is...

Hi peeps! Sorry that I haven't blogged for two days. Tuesday I had homework and yesterday I was to tired to do anything. I fell a sleep watching New Girl  on my computer. Hmm, have to watch it again today. Yeah. I think that I am going to Starbucks later. I want to get another mug and I want to get the offer that they have today. You know that hot cocoa kit with cocoa, marshmallows and peppermint sticks. Yum, yum.  I don't know, just probably do a little shopping. You know the usual. (picture source:  http://rekindle.starbucks.com/en-us/products/12-days/?utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=Holiday12&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=12days ) I'll probably buy something else. I mean I am going home in a week and I have some Christmas presents left to buy and somethings that I just want to buy, you inow since we don'y have them in Sweden. But I got to have some money left to pay for the extra suitcase and some shopping at Heathrow and then the brunch next Sund...

Damn! Have you heard about that bitch named Sandy? Excuse my language, but I mean the hurricane. I hope she doesn't decide to take a trip here to the west coast. Since this hurricane is so severe I am glad I am not going to school in New York (Wow, that's a sentence I thought would never leave my mouth). I mean, I have been checking BMCC's, NYU's and Columbia University's facebook pages and they have all canceled and closed campus today and tomorrow. NYU wrote something earlier that they encourage everyone to stay where they are and to not use elevators and candles (candles, why? Okay, I am not a hurricane expert). But about 15 minutes ago they posted that the storm has passed through New York and were successfully able to serve meals in the dorms, but people should still stay where they are. OMG! I would be freaking out. I want to go to Columbia (preferably) to get my masters one day (I might changed my mind about that) so I hope no natural disaster happens when I ...

It's one of those moments where I feel like letting my heart out out to you. I mean I don't know. I don't what to feel, what to think or what to do. I just, yeah, I just don't know anything. I know fact but that's not what we are talking about here. Totally different subject. I mean, you see, I never really wanted to to to the school I am going to. Okay there was a brief moment. I just applied to it because I felt like I didn't know what else to do if I'd stayed in Sweden this fall doing whatever. Before that, even when I was applying to all the different schools here in the U.S., I was uncertain if I wanted to continue to study. "Is that really what I want to do?" then came "If, you don't what then?" and also "Are you sure you can achieve everything you want with out it?". Plus, there was that feeling that I was compelled to go to school, by society and all that shit. 'Cause you know you are kind of looked down on if ...

OMG! Well, I don't know? Hmm, I like Santa Barbara, it's beautiful and all but...... it just feel like it's too much of vacation here. I don't maybe I will feel better about this whole situation once I have found an apartment. Yeah. Plus this shitty hostel doesn't make me feel better (it just makes me want to go home), because the internet is soooooooo super duper slow. WTF! Yeah. Hmm. My friends - Jai and Isabella (a girl who came last night to the hostel) and I are thinking about going to a Starbucks tonight. Damn, 'cause I need a good internet connection. You know what? I just miss the comfort of being at home. A home cooked meal (sure you can cook your own food here at the hostel but it's the smallest kitchen ever), watching TV, my bed. I, I just miss the comfort, the realness of it all. That's why I feel like I want to go to New York. I have never been there so I don't know how "real" it is, but I know it's kind of "real...

Ok, so I have this plan for how I want the next five years of my life to be. Four years of college and then maybe living a year in London some other city in England. Okay, so the London thing is not for sure just something I've kind of always wanted. I remember when I was younger like eight or so I wanted to move to England when I grew up. For now, first USA. The USA plan is two years in California and then two years in New York. New York as in NYC. Fun fact, I was watching The Secret Life of The American Teenager  earlier and Ricky and Amy were talking about a five year plan. Well, theres' was actually a little different than mine. It involved college but it also involved marriage. First they were going to go to college an then after that they planned to get married. Hmmm, I wonder what's going to happen with them 'cause I haven't seen further than that. So, please don't spoil it for me. your writer, Erika

I am now a proud mama to a little baby named Mac. He is the most precious thing ever and I am so proud. Being a single mom might not be easy (I have heard the stories) but I have to do this for Mac. He's my baby boy and I won't let him down.  Today I have been teaching him all about music. You know, they' are never too young to start living up to their potential. I see Mac doing great things in the future. He's kind of a protégé. This guy is going to be a part of so many great things.  Though I newborn I hope that he won't keep me up at night. Mama loves you Mac but you are going to have a strict curfew. You gotta live up to that potential. Don't let mama down! your writer, Erika
