September back then!

Thought I would do something fun, and have a flashback of all my September's since I got my first digital camera, meaning from 2010-2012. (I didn't get my SLR before 2011). Enjoy :)

2010:


I had a thing for doing my nails in all kinds of colours and patterns, although I weren't very good at it. And I loved decorating my phone, obviously.


Two of my friends moved to Trondheim and I was going to live with one of them!


My bestie was now my neighbour, and both where quite excited about it!


I had a very cool haircut which I loved.


My bestie's boyfriend also moved with her and all four of us had so much fun!


We also celebrated my bestie's b-day with eating sushi <3 We had already reached desert on this pic.


And I had a very awkward style, which I back then just loved to death.

2011:


September in 2011 started with me buying two pair of shoes on eBay for the first time. 


I had over the spring/summer started wearing eyelashes. Everyday. I was crazy hooked on and inspired by Japanese fashion. Mainly Gyaru. 


My favourite hairstyle was the bun on top of the head, and I loved wearing fake nerd glasses. 


I also bought cool caps from a kpop site, and I loved these TEAMLIFE caps to death. Still do. 


I was also addicted to the baseball jacket, and bought one whenever they where on sale. 


I often fell asleep on the couch doing homework or reading magazines. 


And since I purchased my dear Nikon 3100 in august 2011, I  walked around in the city snapping pictures of whatever!

2012:


4th of September  was the day I flew over the sea to Wolverhampton in UK. I was going to do my last year on my bachelor there. 


I had my first cup of Starbucks coffee, ever. I was thrilled. 


I was travelling down with 3 other Norwegian girls and we spent days exploring around. 


After getting a house to rent, we learnt our route to the school and saw the building we would spend lots and lots of hours in. The School of Arts and Design building. 


We also had to go to an English bank and get us English debit cards. 


And I kept drinking Starbucks coffee whenever I had the chance. 


Introduction week and first week on uni was kind of boring so I read a lot of interior magazines ad started folding them just for fun. 


We had a lot of animals in the backyard and there was birds bathing on the little roof outside my bedroom window whenever it had been raining. 


I learnt that wine was very cheap in UK, and often spent evenings reading books for my dissertation accompanied with a glass of wine. 


We also established pizza Friday pretty early and loved it!


And having lived with only a shower for years, I used the bathtub in the house frequently. Accompanied  with a glass of wine and incense of course!

Next up I'll do a summary of September 2013 if anyone is interested :)

Caramel Macchiato's


Third time at Starbucks, first time I remembered to snap shots with my camera. And first time sitting in the far back of the café. Just adore the mix of wooden & blue tables and the colour of the chair. I also love the mixed heights of the tables. And how it is all soft and delicate looking. Wish I was able to take pictures without people, but thats not possible. 

Tredje gangen jeg har vært på Starbucks np, men første gangen jeg har husket kameraet og fått tatt noen bilder. Og førte gangen jeg har sittet helt innerst i caféen. Liker den herlige miksen av bord i tre og blått, og fargene på stolene. Digger at de har mikset med høydene på bordene og. Alt var bare så utrolig mykt og delikat ut. Skulle ønske jeg kunne fått tatt bilder uten at det var folk tilstedet, men det var da desverre ikke mulig.





Also, first time being there with N! We both enjoyed a cup of Caramel Macchiato. Mine was with soy milk, of course. Really don't know if it makes any differenties in tasted tho.. I just don't drink milk. Skipped the extra espresso this time, but must say I missed the enhanced coffee taste. I did that because it cost extra too, since smart me forgot the wallet.... since we went to IKEA first, where I bought candles, and dropping by my home I left the bag with my wallet there. Smart! Anyways, it was delightful to catch up with N. And next time it will be I who treat her with a coffee drink.

Det var også første gangen jeg var innom Starbucks sammen med N! Vi begge nøt hvær vår kopp med Caramel Macchiato. Min var med soyamelk, så klart. Jeg aner virkelig ikke om det gjør noe med smaken, men jeg velger soya fordi jeg drikker ikke melk. Skippet å ha i en ekstra espresso denne gangen, men må si jeg savnet den forsterkete kaffe smaken. Gjorde det kun for å unngå at drikken skulle bli så dyr. Smarte meg glemte nemmelig pengboka. Vi dro til IKEA først, hvor jeg kjøpte meg stearinlys, og etterpå var vi innom meg hvor jeg satte igjen posen med pengboka i... Lurt. Uansett, det var veldig herlig å ta igjen litt skravling med N. Og neste gang vil det være meg som kjøper henne en kaffe.

Bring it home!



Who said you couldn't bring it home? Isn't that what to-go/take-out's are for? I have enjoyed a lovely Starbucks drink in the cafe, on the way to school & while shopping, but I have never brought it home with me. This time I did because I had no reason to stay in the centre and I was taking the bus home. And at home I snuggled up in the corner of our couch and enjoyed it, it total silence. No traffic, no buzz or talking people. Just me and my coffee drink from Starbucks! 

Hvem er det som mener at man ikke kan ta med seg den hjem? Er ikke det take-outs er for? Jeg har nytt en deilig kaffe drikk fra Starbucks mange plasser; inne på caféen, på vei til universitetet og mens jeg shoppet, men jeg har enda aldri bringt drikken med meg hjem - inntil nå. Denne gangen hadde jeg ingen grunn til å bli i byen, og jeg tok buss så jeg tenkte "hvorfor ikke?". Så med hjem ble den, og jeg satte meg godt til rette i hjørnet av den røde sofaen vår og nøt den i total stillhet. Ikke noe traffikk, ikke noe støy eller skravlende folk. Bare meg og min herlige kaffe drikk fra Starbucks!




As a regular at Starbucks in Wolverhampton, and now here in Trondheim too, I'm never able to buy a standard drink. This time I ordered an espresso frappuccino with soy milk and an extra espresso shot. I was told the extra shot would change the consistency of the drink, but it was so worth it! As a black coffee lover I usually add an extra espresso shot to make the coffee flavour stronger. 

Som en litt erfaren Starbucks kunde klarer jeg jo aldri bare å bestille en standard drink. Denne gangen ble den en espresso frappuccino med soyamelk og en ekstra espresso shot. Den ekstra shotten med espresso gjorde jo at konsistensen ble bitte litt annerledes, men var så værdt det. Som en svart kaffe elsker adder jeg som regel en ekstra espresso for å få fram kaffesmaken bedre. 




Well, now it is time for home-made lasagna and the movie "The Warrior's way". Have a lovely Saturday night~!

Nå er det tid for hjemmelaged lasagne og filmen "The Warrior's Way". Ha en herlig lørdags kveld~!

It has been a very quiet week indeed.

I cant believe I haven't blogged much lately, it is not like I have work to go to or anything. I have plenty of time. This is just me being sarcastic with it all, it's a way to deal with it. So I thought I would creep out of my cave and blog some pictures from earlier this week when I visited V and her adorable companion, Vinni the puddle.

Kan ikke tro at jeg ikke har blogget noe særlig denne uka, det er jo ikke akkurat slik at jeg har noe jobb å gå til. Jeg har uendelig med tid til å gjøre det jeg vil. Liksom. Neida, bare jeg som er litt sarkastisk med det hele, er bare en måte å takkle det på. Iallefall, tenkte nå jeg kunne dele litt bilder fra tidligere i uken når jeg var en tur til en god venninne og hennes ufattelig søte puddel, Vinni. 




It was a lovely evening with taco, television, dog cuddling and lots and lots of friend talk. It is good when you get to tell someone all of the questions and thoughts you walk around with, and to listen to someone else. Of course, we also went to take a little walk outside where the autumn have made it entrance. Leafs on the ground everywhere. I just love that the autumn is here!

Det var rett og slett en herlig og koselig ettermiddag med taco, tv titting, hundekos og mye venninne prating. Det er så herlig å bare få sagt alt som man går rundt og tenker på, og like herlig er det å lyttet til venninner. Og det ble selvfølgelig en liten rusletur ut i kjølige og høstlige Trondheim. Jeg elsker at høsten er her, alle strikka genserene er henta fram fra bakerst i skapet!

Strong Orange



Phew, finally finished editing the second outfit video I've ever made. Once again it took a long time, and it is due to little motivation. You get pretty demotivated to do anything when job hunting and never getting and answer from anywhere you have applied. Oh well, some good music is making me in good mood again. Hope you enjoyed this, and please comment & tell me what you think!

Saturday Music

It is Saturday and I am just spending it relaxing on the couch catching up with the kpop world. Or at least the artists that I like. I'm also watching M play some new cyber shit game based on the old 80's superhero games. And just about now we have started to ponder about what we are going to have for dinner today. In other words, a perfect saturday.



Oh, and M bought me a bouquet of carnations. Ive been nagging him about flowers for ages, and our local grocery store sells carnations. I love them, they come in all kinds of colours and they are so delicate. I don't need red roses, I am more happy to receive carnations. 

And I thought I would share some new found songs, that I am way to late in finally listening to:
