I'm going to reveal one more thing that you didn'tt know about me... I believe in ghosts!

Yes, I'm an engineer and believe in ghosts! I think it's scary, exciting and fascinating at the same time! Remember, scientificly it is actually possible. Energy can never disappear, only convert! What happens to the soul and thoughts when you die? Well, there is a spirit / ghost or energy as some like to call it!

Nice picture I got!

I just love this commercial! It's soooooo much fun!!! Please comment it here in the blog! What is your best moment in the clip? By the way it's the gummy bear song, there is a English version of it as well!

Mine is 0:13 when the kid is dancing like she was in trance and when the mum make an ugly face 0:15 and her eyes just after that!

My sister loved the kid 0:25

Today me, my mum and Jair went to Näset in Gothenburg. It was a wonderful Sunday with perfect weather! Later, Emil (my brother) came back from Norway and had barbeque with us! Really nice!

Jair is *hungry*

Sunbathing on my balcony today!!!

I just love my balcony! I've never had a balcony before so I never knew how wonderful it is! I live at the top and the balcony is insight protected from the sides so I don't even need to worry about what to wear! I can even sunbathe topless without anyone having an opinion about it!

Don't forget to protect your lips in the sun!

I recommend this one!! It both smells and tastes good! Jair can't stop kissing me when I use it!

I faint very easy...  Sometimes I simply forget to take a breath of air and pass out. It doesn't only happen when I suddenly stand up, but also sometimes when I run and especially when I drink. For example when I have my mouth full of water/juice/beer/whatever, it's like I don't have time to take a breath that I obviously needed and then I pass out.

The last time was in Brazil when I was on a large and expensive party during the Carnival, I took a sip of my beer and passed out. When I woke up, it was like I had taken a powernap, I was feeling really great!

Sushi at Eriksberg is a must on Fridays!

Enjoying the summer on my beautiful balcony!

When I got home, my wonderful boyfriend had already fixed "uma loira bem gelada" (literally = a blondy really cold, Brazilian slang = a really cold beer) and "camarão Alho e Óleo" (garlic fried shrimps)! YUMMY! I really enjoyed the sun,  the shrimps,  the beer and my wonderful exotic boyfriend!

Wanted! Who has decorated the streets of Gothenburg with these "wise" words?

Who do you call, when it is the police you are scared of?

Who the hell can afford "clean flour in the bag"?

Which means in Swedish: "Who the hell can afford to earn money honestly?"

Wise words or not? What do you think? Take a side! I want to know what you think!

Something you didn't know about me #2

I received a challenge from Eva in Athens a long time ago. Thank you Eva! Now, I'll finally do it! Three things you did not know about me ...

1. I was a real teenybopper as a teenager! And I was a bit cocky, but always (almost always) kind to my wonderful mother!
2. I would think it was really fun to learn belly dancing, but I'm too shy ....
3. I was secretly in love with Gunde Svan when I was just a child... He was sooo nice looking at the "Fångarna på fortet"! (Ugh huh embarrassing, I can not believe that I just admitted that here in the blog!)

I couldn't find any pic of my as a teenager. But I can share a pic my 18 years birthday!

And the wedding?

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Some of you ask me how is it going with the wedding plans.... The answer is that we've put it on ice. It became hard to save money when only one of us have a job. It has not been easy to find a job for Jair. He just get extra jobs and he works once a week more or less... It's a very difficult situation with jobs for young people in Sweden right now, my brother even had to go to Norway to work because he couldn't find any job here.

The plan is to postpone the wedding and start to save money when Jair has a job. So after we've been in Brazil from December to January and talked to the hotel/restaurant that will host the wedding, we will take a new decision on the date of the wedding. Until then, we live our lives and enjoying every day together!

Woken up from winter coma! Now CRETE!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Now I've finally woken up from my winter coma! I apologize for that! I hope my dear readers will come back! I have been working a lot, too much, so I have not managed more than to lie on the couch when I come home since February.

To compensate for all overtime hours and late nights at my job, I've booked a well deserved trip to Greece! More specifically to Crete!! *Excited* I will actually go next week already!

I wasn't satisfied with only 1 week in Crete in the summer so we have also booked 8 days in Portugal and 10 days in Italy in August! We will go directly from Portugal to Italy, so it will be almost "around Europe" this summer hehe!

I have also taken time off, 4 weeks to go to Brazil in December - January! Wonderful!!

ROBBER - side effect of too much TV

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Just now, when I was outside the dentist, I got really scared! There was a man outside who looked a little bit nervous when a car started behind him. He walked with one arm inside his jacket's inner pocket and just when I were going to walk past him, he pulled out his arm very quickly. I was convinced it was a gun or knife and got very scared. I didn't even want to look what it was, but it was probably just his phone... I hope!! Haha!! I'm watching too much TV! I just hope he isn't there when I'm going back out! Scary!

Questions & Answers

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

I've started to get some questions, sometimes in emails and sometimes as comments. I think it's great that you readers are asking questions and stuff. I will try to answer!

One of my readers asked:


I was just curious.... Is your boyfriend black?? I know alot of Brazilians (even the "white" ones) have alot of african ancestory and he looks to be mixed? No big deal just curious...?


My answer: My boyfriend, Jair, is probably what you mean by mixed ... His skin gets very white in the winter here in Sweden but in summer it gets a chocolate brown color! I have also been thinking of the same thing, whether he has african ancestory or not... Actually 80% of everyone from Salvador (also the "white" ones) has African origins and my boyfriend has typically african afro. I would think that he has African origin even though both his parents didn't come from Salvador, but beyond that we don't know so much about his ancestors...

Jair's nickname in Brazil is Ghost - or Fantasma in Portuguese. He got the nickname where he grew up because he had so white skin. In the last picture here below you can see why...!

Jair when I met him - with his big afro!!

Started to knit again :P

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

I decided to begin to knit again. I think it's a fun plus it is good to have something to do when you're sitting in front of tv. I have the bad habit that I always want to eat something when I watch movies or television. So I have some tricks to get rid of my bad habit. A while ago I ate salted sunflower seeds where the shellwas one so I had to peel each seed and that took forever to do but my need to eat something was still satisfied. Unfortunately, I'm tired of them now so I was thinking about going back to knitting again.

The good thing about knitting is that then you have no time to eat something! Today, I have managed to produce this little piece in this picture ... But that's just a sample to see how the mask density is when I'm knitting + a bit of practice because it was so long time ago.

Lovely color of yarn I have chosen, don't you think?! I'm going to knit baby stuff it's fun because it goes faster! Or faster anyway ... I'm not pregnant or anything, I just think it's more fun :)

I will continue tomorrow! Good night!
