The day before christmas eve

I will probably not have time to write much this coming week, I will be have to fun celebrating Christmas with everyone I know. Tonight we visited my mother in law and started the Christmas-celebration with porridge together with my fiancés brothers. We also played some Nintendo land before we went home. Tomorrow we will have a traditional dinner at M's grandmas place and on Christmas day we will spend some time at his fathers. on Wednesday I will be travelling home to Söderhamn to visit my own family and will be there until Saturday when I take my sister with me home again. 

So as you can understand I have a lot of things going on. But may be I will find some time to write something? Hopefully I will at least post one more text before new years ;) 

So what more have I been doing? yesterday we cleaned the whole apartment so now everything is really nice. The Christmas tree looks good as well even if Quinn still wants to climb it. We have a lot of gifts underneath it.Today I spent some time finishing my crotched kittens and then I baked. I made a cake to take with us tomorrow. So looking forward to it! Soon it is time to sleep, so it will be tomorrow really soon!

A dream

Sometimes I have the most crazy, wonderful dreams. After a lot of animewatching yesterday I had a new one, really sweet. I wanted to share a piece of it with you after writing it down this morning. But just so you know, everything was playing in my mine as a anime episode or a book story so the girl in it isnt really me even if I could really feel her emotions. 

Say "I love You"

I have finaly started watching anime again! It has been so long sience the last time, I doesn't even remeber when. But I found a anime that really sounded nice and now I have watched all the episodes out yet. 

The serie is called Say "I Love You" and is a sweet love story about a girl, Mei, who is really quiet and doesn't have a lot of friends and a guy, Yamato, who is really popular with the girl but haven't found the one yet. One day Mei explodes over another guys prank and she tries to roundhouse kick him but end up hitting Yamato instead. Yamato is surprised and starting to getting interesting in the wuiet Mei after the way he saw here emotions explode and he wants to get closer to her.

This is the start on there love story. The anime is a shojo with a lot of romance and a slice of life-feeling over it. Some maybe would think that it is boring just focusing on there relazionship but this is the kind of story that I can find so much feeling in. When the story is calm and sweet it is easy to compare your own feelings to the ones in the serie. 

Another thing I like is the boldness that is lying underneath the story. Already in the first episode there is talk about sex and a lot of kissing going on. I really like a story that begins with kisses and not ends with it, it makes it more realistic and matches my thoughts about love.

So are you after a sweet love story with a lot of usual twists? watch Say "I Love You". I myself is maybe going to start reading the manga by Hazuki Kanae while I am waiting for the next episode on crunchyroll.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Yes, as I told you in the lucia-post I went to see The Hobbit. I have been looking forward to the movie since they only was rumours that it would be made. But i was also a bit afraid about the high frame rate I have heard so much about, like how it takes time to get used to and that you can get a bit nauseas. I was also afraid if they really would be able to fit three movies in one book without the story getting to thin. I didn't have to be so afraid!

It was beautiful really! The same feel that previous movies gave with awesome scenery and a interesting story. The high frame rate didn't make me feel nauseas at all but made the picture a lot clearer than it usually is, especially in a 3D movie. You could really see everything! 

When it comes to the story everything was still really nicely done. It is obvious that there is going to be another, the main quest isn't done, and they had a great cliff hanger at the end. But still they really succeeded with getting all the things together in the story as well. 

When it comes to characters I got especially happy about all the dwarfs, they are really funny and each individuality is really shown in the movie. They also succeed great with the game that Bilbo plays with Gollum and the way Gollum response.   

I haven't read the book even if I have read the fellowship of the ring. I wasn't really that interested in it.But I still think I know one or two facts from it that I have picked up from friends and the movie matches my picture of the story really well. After I saw the movie I also want to read it, and I want to do so in English. So when I have money I am really going to buy a copy and try it out ^__^

Lucia and some other things

Yesterday was December 13th, Lucia, and as the good swede that I am I baked. Saffransbullar or lussekatter or saffron buns if you like, it has a lot of different names but the main point is the saffron. The buns turned out really great, I dont thikn I ever made them that good before! 

Unfortunately i didn't have the chance to see any Lucia-event yesterday but last Sunday I watched the coronation of Katrineholms Lucia (the official lucia in my hometown Katrineholm). So with this in mind I wanted to share two pictures with you. 

Lucia in katrineholm (sorry for bad pic)

Lussekatter in different shapes

I really like the Lucia-tradition, we all need a little light in our darkness thes time of year. 

Beside Lucia the countdown for Christmas is really going along. Unfortunately I haven had that much time to bake and cook but the Christmas tree is up (something that Quinn is really happy about) and the gifts is also almost finished. I have also bought the last ingredients for gingerbread today so maybe I will be making the dough tonight and bake it this weekend. 

On a side note I am really looking forward to tonight, we are going to watch the Hobbit, a movie I have been really locking forward to! so hopefully I will post about it tomorrow.

Edit: A  frined of mine sent this on facebook, I thought it worked in this post. 

 

Kim Sung Kyu - 60 sec

I have a lot of different things going on in my life but I still have some time to listen to music. Now i also found some time to write about it (or found... I should be studying right now but this is much more interesting to do!). I have been watching and listening to Kim Sung Kyu's 60 sec a lot recently and is really falling in love with it. 

In the beginning the video is kind of hard to understand and a lot of different stories have been going around but I find one of them easier  to understand than the rest. The songs title is 60 sec and in the video description you can read "60'' taken to fall in love, 60'' taken to fall out of love" and even if the English isn't really right you can understand the meaning anyway; that it can take 60 seconds to fall in love but also 60 seconds to fall out of love. Right?  So the video is trying to explain this  by letting Kim Sung Kyu fall in love at the first sight with the girl. The time freezes and he can see their future in his mind. 

The chorus starts right there and the first lines can be translated to: 

"60 seconds is all I need for this story You came into my heart, I don’t doubt it" 

He then spend some time in the café thinking about how it could be, they being happy together at first. but he also realize that if they later on would break up it would be devastating, she turning him down by giving him back the ring. 

In the café he can feel the sadness from this imaginary future and leaves the ring and tries to leave before it is to late. The girl tries to give him the ring that she things he forgot and at the same time as he declines it she also falls in love and can see how happy they could make each other. She becomes sad over the future that will never be. In that moment they share a love story that never got the chance to bloom. 

Meeeuw! the video and the story is so sad and romantic an probably why i like it so much >.< The thought that a minute can make such a different is really appealing and at the same time devastating to me. It get me thinking what if about a lot of different things in my life...

Another thing that is important in the song and video is the way it tell a story about love as not only something great but also something sad when it ends. The end is so hurtful for all of us but at the same time it is the reason that love is so important. Think about it, love wouldn't be so wonderful if it wasn't so sensitive to everything else. One minute is all it takes to be over.  

So as you can see, the message is all it took to win me over for this song. but beside that Kim Sung Kyu sings really well and the song is both hopeful and sad. The lightening and the setting of the videos is also great and makes it easier to access the feeling of the song and the video. 

Of course you can criticizes some parts in the video, like how they portrait there happy-couple-times (a lot of the things they do in the video isn't something i would call really romantic, like poking each others forehead...) you can also criticizes it based on the story telling, you have to see the video a couple of times to really understand it. But I am a sucker for sad love-stories and thus I overall really do love it! 

2012 EYK Awards

Damn what a great kpop year it has been! I am right now voting for the 2012 EYK  Awards and a lot of the videos from 2012 are great! For example B.A.P with warrior that has become one of my personal favorites because it was newly released when me and my friends went to Paris in February and watched Music Bank. Or the new album by Big Bang? or G-dragons solo album with That XX, Crayon and other songs?  

Not to mention all the good girl bands like T-ara and Sistar that really have grown on me this year (even if 2NE1 have been missed). Lee Hi's debut is also worth to mention. They are so many! and it is so great that they are getting the publicity they deserves. We have to than PSY for a lot of the publicity. 

Even if this year isn't over yet (and neither are the nominees in the 2012 EYK Awards) I am still really looking forward to next year. Hopefully it can be even better or what do you think?

The Secret Garden

Even with such a hectic life as mine, there is still time to read. I have finally read through The Secret Garden for the first time and I love it! i have loved the story since I was little and saw the movie but it isn't before now I got the energy to read the book also.

The book is about the difficult child Mary who has grown up spoiled in India. When her parents dies she is send back to england and Misselthwaite manor in Yorkshire. She finds herself alone a lot and no one care for her temper and wishes anymore.  There isn't so much to do than stay outside and play each day, and search for the secret garden she hears whispers about. Slowly, like the start of spring, she is starting to change for the better. Maybe she will find something else as well?

The story is wtitten in 1911 but is still interesting to read. It is filled with humor, magic and hope and a great story for both children and grown ups. It is a fabulous story that I really can commander.

So much to do, so little time

Yes, it was over a week I posted my last post here. Sorry! 

So much have been going on in my life. I have been working hard as a teacher candidate and spent a lot of time in school, the rest of the time has been spent on my homework. 

But can you belive it, it is finally December! Soon it is christmas, my favorite holiday of the year! I have already been preparing for it by wrap some gifts, decorating my tree and the rest of the house. Just have some gifts left to buy and then I can concentrate on making sweets and stuff at home.

Here are some pictures of my christmas-themed home (dont forget you can click on them for bigger pictures): 

A lesson about bullying

Yes, this week I started my first "internship" as a high school teacher, For five weeks I am going to make lessons and hopefully teach the students something. So today I was going to work on one of my assignments for next week but unfortunately I got stuck on Youtube instead. Maybe because I realized that there are so many good videos out there that you can use in the classroom as a way to make the subjects a little bit more interesting.

Anyhow, I was watching "Teens React" and one episode is about Bullying and the video made by Amanda Todd. Maybe you don't know her? Amanda Todd is a girl that made a mistake in 7th grade that hunted her for years, she was bullied and got sick and depressed. She made a video that she and told here story through notes for the whole world to see. she wrote about being followed by the bullying, trying to commit suicide and hurting herself. About a month after posting the video online she did committed suicide and the video got a lot of views.

This got me thinking. I would really liked to talk about this in class someday. Bullying is important to talk about as a way to defeat it and I would want my students to get active to prevent it. So instead of making the lesson I had to work on I made one about bullying instead. I am going to share these with all of you and I would get really happy if you used the idea!

Bullying

Video: Amanda Todd - My Story 

Intro: Start with asking the kids if they know about Amanda Todd and her video on Youtube, just as a way to start up. If no one knows her just let it be with saying that you are going to show them the video. If someone do knows just say good and show them the  video as a way to refresh there memory. 

After the video is done you hopefully can get some different reactions from the students. Maybe someone feels sad and maybe a couple of them don’t really know why this is something you show them. Now is a good time to ask them “what did you think?”. After some short answers you can inform them that one of the reasons this video has so many views on Youtube is because the girl really did committed suicide about a month after the video was posted online. This will hopefully get there attention and they are ready to discuss.

Questions to ask:

•  Why do you think she posted this video?
•   What do you think about the “friends” that followed her with their bullying? Were they really hoping for her to end her life?
• Could anyone have prevented this?
•  Why didn’t anyone do something?
•  Why do you thing that a lot of people online post comments to the video saying: “she deserved it” and “she was the one that made mistakes and killed herself”?
• Why did the video get so much attention?
• Can you see tendencies to this kind of bullying in your life? 
• what would you do if it happened to you? how would you feel?
•  What can you do about bullying?

After this you can make a follow up assignment for this class. Maybe you ask them to make something to show that they care about people, like writing a text themselves or together, they can make their own video and post online, find out information about who you can contact if someone is getting bullied or anything other just to spread the word. That way they get the inspiration to do something creative and at the same time learn something about bullying.Of course you can get a spin on the lesson just to make it fit the subject that you are teaching, a video or a text can be a language-assignment and not just about bullying.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2

As I wrote in the post about this past weekend I went to the movies with J-chan and we finally got to see the last twilight-movie. Even if I somewhat doesn't really like the movies, it is to many fan-girls screaming in the audience for a halfhearted performance of a story from a good book, I couldn't really miss it. I also think I made my fiancé a bit happier when he didn't have to see it with me, he hate it a lot more than I do.

I didn't have a lot of expectations but got happily surprised. i think it is the best of the five movies mostly because they got the feeling almost right. Sure they missed a bit about the stress and the darkness that Bella is carrying the last weeks before the final battle but they make it up with the battle twist itself. I am not going to spoil anything for you but the final battle is a bit different in the film than in the book and got a bit of a twist that made me feel a couple of different things at the same time.

The music and the light in the movie made a lot of the feeling to get right and I again got surpriced when I heard Green Day in it.But it allready got me in the intro with the snow/blood theme. Nice! One other thing I like is the little girl. She is so cute with wonderful eyes. I want one of those too >__< not eyes! A  cute little girl. Not right away but in the future.  

Anyhow, over all, a fine movie and I can really understand why so many likes it. But it is also nice that it is over now, we can finally move one.

A Weekend in Stockholm

I spend this past weekend with J-chan in Stockholm and had a great ti me! I arrived at Friday around 6PM and started with spending a lot of money to buy the access-card for the metro and buses and then we went to J-chans apartment. Or room really, she is living in a kind of dorm, where she shares the kitchen with other people. We left my bag at her place and went back. We got some taco to eat and then it was time for movie night. We saw Breaking Dawn 2, I will write about the movie in a separate post. After the movie we took the train back and spend a lot of time just talking in her room before we finally fell asleep.

The Saturday was spend shopping. Found myself some clothes and also got a hold of some Christmas gifts for my fiancé. Wanted a lot of things in SF bookstore but only bought a manga there, I was happy to be able to say no to myself. But unfortunately it was the only time this weekend, I spend a lot of money >__< but all the things I bought I can use so nothing unnecessary... I tries to tell myself at least. We finish the day with some thaifood befor going back to watch some tv and then sleep.

The sunday we got back downtown a bit to early so we walked aroud for almost two hours. Happily they had a fleemarket on hötorget and we spend some time to look at all the things. we also bought some hot chokolate. When everything was open we went to panduro and I wanted to buy everything! Spent my last money there. afterwards we went to SF once again befor goning back home to fetch my bag and got ready for going back home to Katrineholm.

It was nice when I finally got home to be welcomed by Quinn and my fiancé and hot food <3 It was a really nice weekend!

About SD and Almqvist - as if we didn't know...

I was going to post something happy today, it is a happy day for me personally, but these couple of days there have been something else going on in media that I want to write about.
Maybe you know that last time we in Sweden held or election a party with xenophobic thoughts (sverigedemokraterna, SD) got elected to our riksdag (parliament), something I then wasn't so happy about and still isn't. A couple of years ago there was some online debating between on of the higher members of SD, Erik Almqvist, and a swedish comedian called Soran Ismail about a event that occurred one late night/early morning in Stockholm. Soran told his follower on Youtube that Almqvist and two friends he was with that morning (also from SD), came with racist attacks towards him. The same morning Almqvist and company cot in contact with a couple of other people and started to fight with them as well. Almqvist made his own video as an answer to Soran and told that he hadn't said anything racist at all.

This week the media got a hold on some video from that morning and off course Almqvist and his friends did say really nasty stuff, first to Soran about his origin (he is Kurd). They then got in a fight with a drunken man and also said racist things to him. A girl started to question them about it and then they called her a whore.  Almqvist did try to get out of this yesterday by telling a story about a how he at that time was depressed and drunk. He also mentioned that the unknown man they "was attacked" by said that he was part of a criminal gang and that they had to defend themselves.

Almqvist did quit all his work in SD yesterday after all of these reports, but he can still take part in the parliamentary discussion because you can't get fired from your seat there. He have to step down himself and right now it is unknown how he will do.




After these events I thought it was over but no, even newer videos was posted and now you can first see how Almqvist and CO finds some iron pipes and tries to go after the drunk man, they also talk about how they know that he isn't part of the criminal organization that he said he was. Not so good for Almqvist?

Not good for Sverigedemokraterna at all. There support is shrinking and a movement online is going on. In the video of Soran and Almqvist they both uses the words "det här är mitt land" (this is my country) and the tag #dethärärmittland has on twitter grown and people of all nationality and backgrounds is writing about who they are and how long they have been in Sweden, as a way to show that they accept the multiculturalism as something good.

So hopefully now you know what is going on? And I got to write it all out as a way to start to let go. And maybe this will get the people to change there thinking because I personal doesn't think that SD have anything to do in our riksdag.

Chibird made my day!

Thanks to Teri i found chibird.tumblr.com and I think that made my day yesterday. The page is full of optimistic and nice messages, pictures and animation and there style is so nice. Of course I am now following the page!

B1A4 - Tried to Walk

 I haven't been that interested in B1A4 earlier, just listened to a couple of songs. But when I saw this video earlier today I fell in love.

Baro and the girl

The interest woke from the beginning of the MV. I love the bird cage, and all the flowers and the sun shining through the window and.. Everything. It is like a fairytale (and I love fairytales!). And out steps cute Baro and finds a girl in all that beauty. But he cant reach her really and then the song starts. Jinyong is really hot! I haven't really been interesting in B1A4 earlier, mostly because they always has this cute side to show, but in this video they are all kind of manly!

The first few lines in the beginning of the song is making my heart ache And then the girl is giving Baro his ring back and leaves and everything gets even worse. The song and the lyrics is sad but wonderful. It is about a break up and loneliness but also have this slowly growing positivity that the guy is also a bit relieved.

"I guess love is leaving,
it rides the wind and flies far away.
I guess everything is changing,
I guess you’re changing just like me."

These two different feelings is also represented in the video. they have cut together two different takes of Baro's single shots. one where he is dressed in shimmering light colors and the light is flowing on the set and the next take is dark and dead and the treas and flowers doesn't bloom. Personality I think i prefer the dark ones (maybe I am a Sadist?). I think they have more depth and feels more beautiful. If you watch the end these two personas get different endings but exactly what I am not going to tell you. 

So as you understand I really like the style and the symbols in the video, and the song is really sad and beautiful and hopeful at the same time. And the boys looks awesome! Maybe they could have put the other boys more in the story as well but at the same time I really like the way they tell the love story between Baro and the girl. This video isn't one of those all-members-on-the-same-girl kind of thing and that makes me really happy! This is going to go on repeat at home for a while I think.

Music for you

I haven't had so much time over for music this past week or so and not at all for making something good about it here on the blog. Every ounce of my energy is put into school work right now. But I want to share some new good kpop songs with you anyway and can hopefully make something nice for the end of the week. 

First up is B1A4's new video Tried to Walk. I saw this earlier today and then it had like 300 views. 
I really love the video and the royal romantic theme and the song is good to so hopefully I will be able to review it later on ^__^

I also wanted to post FIESTAR's new song We don't stop:

The last tip is also a prince-video. Boyfriend's new MV Janus. Check it out:

ohh, so nice with music. I really do want to take some of them apart and talk about it... Maybe I have to make some time for it! In the mean time  you can still watch all the MV's I add to my playlist on youtube.

Johan Glans

Yesterday was finally the day we was going to see Johan Glans, on of the best stand up comedian in Sweden. We arrived at the train station just to realize we forgot or tickets to the show at home. Had to walk fast back home again to fetch them. Back again in the train station we realize that we didn't have to walk really so fast, the train was late by 15 minutes. So we bought our train tickets and started to wait. The train should arrive at 13.00 but in the end it cam 13.40... It felt really to cold and stupid to be waiting for the train in over 40 minutes when the train-ride takes about 25 minutes from here to Norrköping... 

But we kept the good mood and arrived at Norrköping. We still had some time so first we found or way to the concert hall and then walked a little around town. We found a café and grabbed some things to eat and went back to the hall again. Paid 40kr for the wardrobe when they don't allow jackets in the concert hall, a bit overpriced if you ask me. But finally we was in place. And the two hours that followed was great! Laughed so my face hurt. The only negative thing for the whole performance was something my fiancé mentioned; There was to few Star Wars-jokes. But there can't really be to much of those any way and somewhere they have to draw the line. 

We afterwards went back to the train station and didn't have to wait long for the ride home. So even if the problem with the train earlier on the experience was great and finally I got to watch stand up together with M! 

7th of November

Good morning!

Right now I am sitting and watching the news and playing around with the computer. Even if I am not from America or really and fully informed about the election I was still hoping that Obama would be the winner, he felt like the one of the candidates that would do most good. It was a nice thing to wake up to.

Now I have to start the studying again, I have a seminar today and we got a lot of assignments to finish before. I think I am done with most of it but I am not happy with any of it... The instructions was so wage that I really didnt know how to do it. Just to keep going right now.

I have to go to the library today as well but we have a lecture after lunch so I have to go tonight. Don't want to >__< I want to get a day of, it is to much to ask? Maybe I can do it tomorrow instead? I don't have any scheduled things then, just have to read and do the next assignment... 

We will se how much fun things I am going to have time to post this week... I have at least booked tickets to Stockholm for next weekend, something to look forward to! 

 

I have rather recently completed the manga High School Debut by Kazune Kawahara. It feels nice to have one more completed manga in my bookshelf I usually tend to by the ones that looks interesting and I want to read right now so I usually have a lot of different series started but not that many completed. I buy new series in between. High School Debut is one that I have been reading for two-three years now at least. Finally it is done! 

The manga itself is an ok story, the main character is Nagashima Haruna, a girl that just begun her first year of high school. She is a bit of a tomboy and have been a lot int softball in middle school. With her new high school debut she wants to start over, find a boyfriend and fall in love. But it is kind of hard for a girl who doesn't know anything about boys, fashion or love to transform herself but as it happens she meet a guy named Yoh one day, a boy that is really popular, and Haruna decides that if he is willing to coach her she may have a change to make the debut that she wants... 

As you can understand the main genre is shojo romance, exactly what I like to read, and the story is intriguing and fun and makes it stand out in the marsh that shojo manga sometimes is. The drawing style is also something that i like (even if I sometimes doesn't like the things beneth Yoh's eyes) and that makes the reading much better.  Overall it is really a manga that I can recommend.

My trip to Falun

Yes, these past few days I have been busy with traveling to Falun. I started out this Wednesday at about 07.00 by train. Met up with some of my classmates and ate some lunch before the seriousness began. We started up with the dreadful (don't know the correct word in English) oppositions (opponeringar), a way for us to give our classmates feedback on there reports and take feedback from the others. The whole thing is also graded by the teacher. It went better than I thought but it took a lot of energy (we sat there from almost 4,5 hours and didn't have so much time for breaks).

After that I met up with the girls I was going to share a cottage with and we went shopping for some food. Made an easy dinner and just went straight to bed afterward. So tired >___< I also slept really bad because the cottage was so cold and it didn't matter how much we tried to turn up the heat.

Day two started up with an introduction for the next part of the examination. Here it became worse! we have had time to work with a group assignment about the school system in another contry, our group choose Finland, but in the introduction one of the teacher wanted us to make the presentation an figuration beyond the usual presentation. She explained this with a dramatization. I think a lot of us became unsure how we could deliver both the information we gathered and the figuration at the same time. Luckily we got two hours to come up with something.

Our group did a little bit of change in the Power Point that we prepared and made a little play around it, a way to present the facts to each other in a dialog with each other rather than just reading it from the screen. After lunch it was finally time to make the presentations. Some of the groups was really really good and made a lot of different things. Some did almost like our idea, an little play, some other just used some props to symbolize what they were talking about. One group had also made a song that presented who was going to speak and what they were going to say and played it for us (one of them had a guitar) in between the sections of information.

Somehow we all succeeded really well, I myself wasn't even nervous, and the feeling in the room was really great even when it was an important part of our examination. I think it from here on became a much happier experience because we all started to feel a different connection to each other and really started to talk without much problems at all.

after the presentations finish around 16.00, we had to move to another location where we would watch a movie. We watched Les Choristes (the Chorus) and it was also a new experience for me. The film was lovely and I could relate to it and maybe the best part of the whole trip.

Afterwards we went back to our cottage. Some of our classmates really wanted us to go out and party because this was officially the end of the course, but we all was so tired that it was enough to sit in the cottage, eat the leftovers from the day before and just talk with each other. And this is the second best part of the trip (or maybe the first) because I really think we got closer living together these few days and it something i treasure.

unfortunately I could not go to sleep this night so i probably only slept for five hours before it was time to wake up and start cleaning the cottage. In school it was time for an evaluation of the course and the beginning of the new one. I was so tired and nothing felt really relevant to me at the moment. I just waited for the time it would end and I could take the train home again.

I am finally home and the cat is also in place and now I thing it is time for bed. Nighty night!

The past IKEA-weekend and plans for this week

This past Saturday we went to IKEA to spend some of our money. IT was a lot of people there but it was a happy trip. I started to look forward to Christmas (even when it is two months left) when they started to sell Christmas decorations already. Christmas is my favorite holiday and one of the few good thing with winter. I can easily be looking forward, planing, decorating and shopping months before the holiday and don't care what my fiancé tells me.

I didn't buy anything really christmassy this time.. not beside the gingersnaps molds... Besides that it was just useful stuff for the apartment. We finally got two reading lamps for our bedroom, a full-length mirror and fames for some pictures. And of course some other small stuff... So we spent some time getting all the things on the right places in the appartment and of course Quinn decided that she wanted to be in the way all the time! >__< but I am happy with the result.

We also watched the first Indiana Jones-movie, did the laundry and played some Pokémon but maybe not in that order... I am on Victory Road in the game now, but I don't have the concentration to play for a long time, have so much to do besides gaming. For example school. Today I turned in my report, I am not that happy with it but maybe it will make me pass at least. Now I have to study a classmates report for the opposition and also get everything ready for my trip to Falun on Wednesday. Hopefully I also will be able to post some more here before that ^__^ 

B.A.P - Stop It

My mind is kind of divided over this video, I like the song and the MV but on the other hand I don't know if this is the picture I have of B.A.P. The song is sweet and beautiful. They sing about how the girl doesn't have to wonder if they like her, because as they have told "her" many times they really do, It is about insecure love and of how important love is. A song that I really think would fit a band like Boyfriend, or SHINee or something. I am not to sure about how this fit B.A.P's image? For me B.A.P is all about the rap and the revolution but maybe I can't let go of that picture they med with WARRIOR, Power and No Mercy an such, even when they want to develop something new? For me this isn't something new, more like big step back for the band, however good looking they are... I want something more from my boy-bands!

But as I said, the video isn't bad, it is kind of funny actually. For once they get the whole all-members-on-the-same-girl-thing to work in some way. It is like all the members is in love with the teacher and is competing for her interest.I have to confess I have some trouble to tell the boys apart but I think it is Yong Guk who is the "ghost" in the video, the one that the girl can't see. He try to sabotage for his follow members because they all is in love with the girl. Exactly what he is I cant decide but he at first got me to think about a normal ghost, he got hit by a car, but later on i also thought about a dokkaebi and a gumiho... But non of them fits as well...

Then maybe the woman is the one with all the magical powers? All the member get smitten by her in a magical way, she do blow something like fairy dust on them, and they got tamed by there love.... Hmm... Is this the reason for the sudden change in style for the band? They were really crazy and bad boys and then this magical teacher woman cast a love spell on them, so that they falls in love with her and want to show there sincerity by stop there mischievous behavior, even if it some continues withe there rivality over her?

and the tail grabbing part at the end? is that her final attack at the Yong Guk? She strips him of his last powers and rebelliousness? to "stop it"? and then he wake up in a white simple room and a feather falls to the floor? is she an angel? send from heaven to get the boys act together? does this mean that B.A.P here forth will have a new and nicer image?

so many questions.. but is it true then i don't know if the band will continue to be one of my favorites? even if the video was interesting with a deep meaning I don't like the change in style. We can hope that the angel spell will be put down in the next video ^__^
