Mama < 3

My mom is the best in the world!
Since I couldn't afford the ticket so I could go see my sister, brother-in-law and nephews, my mom bought the ticket for me. This way I can finally go see them again, and also spend some time with my parents.

I really have the best parents I could ever have imagined. I love them both so much!

Wishing everyone a great weekend! :D

(The headline was supposed to be "Love em'. Miss 'em <3 ", but for some reason it won't show...)

Unfortunately I only have older pictures of my nephews, but they're just as lovely today. 

Been trying to go visit them, but the economy is not what it should be, so I have to wait a while. But they're always in my heart, and for now that just has to do. 

The oldest

The youngest

I feel blessed <3 

Stuttering by Fefe Dobson

There's a whole lotta things that I will forgive
But I just can't take a liar
I was by your side till the very end
Till you pushed me in the fire

I tried to believe you, but something is wrong
You won't look me in the eyes, tell me what's going on

It's you and me against the world
That's what you said, that's what you said
If you can't be honest with me
Then I'm afraid this is the end

Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty cos you're stuttering

Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering

Now the seconds turn into minutes now
But you won't give me an answer
You can tell me this, you can tell me that
But don't say you don't remember

Cos I know you better than you know yourself
So don't say I'm crazy, I know very well

It's you and me against the world
That's what you said, that's what you said
If you can't be honest with me
Then I'm afraid this is the end

Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty cos you're stuttering

Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering

I-I-I don't wanna hear you're sorry now
The best thing you can do for me is just spit it out
I-I-I don't wanna hear you're sorry now
Stop, stop stuttering your words, it's only making you look worse

Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty cos you're stuttering

Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
Yeah you're stuttering

Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
(Keep on stuttering yeah you're stuttering)
Oh oh oh oh oh, ey ey ey ey ey, oh oh oh oh whoa
(Keep in stuttering, yeah you're stuttering)

Pretty awesome :p

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

But today is a gift.

That's why we call it the present.

Random quotes : )

It's Friday night and I'm insanely bored! Had no idea what to do, so decided to blog and share some great quotes I came across. Some are funny, some a bit more serious. Enjoy.

The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.

Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

My blood type is coffee.

If you love somebody, set them free. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in soccer. (Football, thank you very much :p )

I don't have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

Who says I'm not in shape? Round's a shape, isn't it?

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

The mind is like a parachute; It doesn't work unless it's open.

May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I'll leave you with one I thought of myself while listening to a song by Jason Derulo:

Trust is like glass; Once broken, you can try to piece it back together, but it will never be the same.

Thanks to coolnsmart.com for the quotes. 

Have a good weekend.

Happy New Year!

Let's all make it a great one!

Life's short. Live it!

Bragging rights :p

I just have to share some great news, school wise, and that is that me and two of my friends got an A (!!) on our Method and Data analysis project! :D It's 40% of the final grade, so it felt good to find out! Just gotta wait for the 60% now ;)

That was all I wanted to say today ;)
Hope you're all having a great day/night :)

Christmas holiday!! :D

It feels really good to say (write) that, on Wednesday night, I did the last piece of studying of 2011! No more studying until 2012! :D It's a weird, but an unbelievably awesome thought! ;)

I had my last exam yesterday, and I think it went okay. Only time will tell. When I came back to the apartment I saw Barcelona beat what's-their-face 4-0 in the semi final of FIFA Club World Cup. It was a deserved victory and they're now in the final on Sunday and will go up against Santos. Think it will be a great game, but I won't be able to see it as I'm going for a Christmas lunch with my family <3

The afternoon was spent cleaning the apartment, and believe me, it was needed ;) But that as actually a cleaning-session I had been looking forward to, because I knew that I would be done with the semester at that point. In the evening I met four of my friends from high school and we had a Christmas workshop, where we baked gingerbread cookies and cookies with Non-Stop (Smarties) and made some other creative stuff, or they did. I tried to make a Christmas card for my parents and grandparents, but the glitter hadn't dried by the time we were leaving, so I threw them in the bin :p They weren't that nice anyway, so I probably wouldn't have wanted to give them away either way.

This morning I went to the city center for an hour or so, before I threw some clothes in a bag and took the train home to my parents house. Now I'm looking forward to some good and well needed rest.

Have a great night everyone!

My weekend

I know it's been a while since I've blogged now, and I'm sorry about. Kinda made a promise to myself that I was going to blog at least once a week, and it went okey for a while, but than the exams kicked in for real :p Any way, I'm back and here to share my wonderful weekend with you :)

I went to sister's house on Friday morning and had an amazing weekend with her, my brother-in-law and my two nephews :) I'm so lucky to have two such wonderful nephews. The oldest had a period of time a couple of years ago when I could do nothing right and whenever I tried to help him he said "No aunty!" Needless to say, that sucked :p But now he's way better and I'm glad :) Tucked him in both nights this weekend, and I really cherish those moments. My youngest nephew has luckily not had a phase like that (knock-on-wood).

Yesterday was an awesome day! It started with me and my sister going shopping :) And although she wasn't going to buy anything for herself, she ended up with more than me. That a girl ;) I also met a friend of mine that I haven't seen since I was in Brighton, and that was so much fun! I even got to meet her boyfriend, who I can't do anything but accept ;) He seems like a really great guy and I'm glad she's happy <3

The evening was spent eating tacos, watching A Christmas Carol (I thought that was kind of scary though, really dark) and to top it all of: El Clásico! Real Madrid took the lead through a Benzema goal after only 21 seconds! I have to admit: I was nervous. I knew it was still 89 minutes to play (plus injury-time), but I thought "Oh no, is this how the game is going to be?". But Barcelona being Barcelona, they equalized before half-time and the game was back on. Then it got 1-2 (in favor of Barca), and finally 1-3! Game, set, match. Top of the table and all is right in the world of La Liga ;)

The best in Spanish football 

All in all, it's been an awesome weekend and I'm ready(-ish) to take on this week and the semester's last exam! Bring it on!
xoxo

Be yourself

Just wanna share some pictures. It's so easy to forget, so here's a reminder : )

In the words of Sue in Glee: "And that's how Irene sees it" ; )

Have a great day and weekend!

xoxo

Movie of the week

One word covers it: AWESOME!! :D

I'm in love with dance movies and this was a great one with a lot of amazing moves! If you like dance movies, this is one you have to see.

That's my advice of the day ; )

Have a good day/night and weekend!

Unwritten

I was listening to Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten", and realized it's really perfect for me right now, cos I have no idea what my future holds. Read and see if you agree ; )

I am unwritten

Can't read my mind, I'm undefined

I'm just beginning

The pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the black page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words

That you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

TODAY IS WHERE YOUR BOOK BEGINS

THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN

Sir Alex Ferguson's 25 years of awesomeness

25 years ago Sir Alex Ferguson came to power at Manchester United. And how amazing haven't those 25 years been?!

12 Premier League titles, 10 Charity/Community Shields, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 2 Champions League titles, 1 European Cup Winners Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Intercontinental Cup and 1 FIFA Club World Cup. Pure class and dominance! I certainly bow down.

But what I wanted to do with this post, was dedicate it to him by sharing some of his fantastic quotes, cos let's face it, there's been a few ; )

On Gary Neville: "If he was an inch taller he'd be the best center-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in - I'd check the milkman."

On the 1999 Champions League triumph: "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."

On the 2003 title race: "It's getting trickly now - squeaky-bum time, I call it."

On kicking a boot into David Beckham's face in 2003: "It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!"

On Filippo Inzaghi: "That lad must have been born offside."

On José Mourinho: " He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."

And no list would be complete without some words on Liverpool.

"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool off their f***ing perch. And you can print that."

On Rafael Benítez, reacting to the Spaniard's infamous "facts" press conference: "I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous."

On whether Liverpool would win the title in 2007: "You must be joking. Do I look as if I'm a masochist ready to cut myself? How does relegation sound instead?"

Fergie; thanks for all the joy, ups and down, titles, great policies and hunger! Here's to many more years, trophies, great games and even greater quotes. You will always be number 1!

Also thanks to The Guardian for writing the quotes in today's online paper.

Have a great night!

Don't want it to end

In these One Tree Hill-lacking days, I decided to make myself miss it and look forward to it coming back in January even more than I already do. And today I FINALLY saw the date!

People; mark January 11th in your calendar, cos that's when the beginning of the end starts. Really can't wait for the 9th season to begin, even if it's only a 13 episode season and the last one :'( What am I going to do when it finishes?

Where it all began

They're all grown up now

Have a great night : ) Or day ; )

xoxo

Beatiful pictures

I've been trying to find a new background for my Twitter profile today, and have come across a lot of beautiful pictures, and I also wanted to share some of my choices with you. The first one is the one I ended up with. Finally. Been through quite a few ;)

Gonna watch some Champions League football now. Hoping for some action from Barcelona and Arsenal. They play Viktoria Plzen and Marseille respectively.

Have a great night everybody! :D
