Diet, day 8

Yes, now I have made it trough my first week of dieting and it works. I have lost almost 3 kg (2,9) and the calculated was 1,2 for my attack-period. I am happy! But it was a bit hard, my body misses all the sugar so a couple of nights I have really been craving it, I have also easily been cranky over small things and I think that also is because of my body and everything it is used to have and wont right now :/ But I succeeded! So now I can start adding veggies to my food and it is going to be so good <3 

It feels like my fiancé doesn't really care if he is dieting or not so I have to stick with it even harder right now, I want to loose some more! I know that we both will cheat a bit on Saturday, we are invited to a party, but sometimes you have to have fun as well!

Before then my new course is going to start, history 1. I am both happy and afraid, they say that this is one of the hardest courses you can read on this level of studies but at the same time is it going to be so fun to study something new. Hopefully it is going to be ok, I am waiting for the first lecture now. In the mean time I will be able to listen to some old and new music ^__^

B.A.P - Rain Sound

First I would like to say: welcome back B.A.P... or did I wish for to much? 
I miss the kind of sound that B.A.P come with in there debut last year. They had this hard, cool sound with warrior and continued that for a while. Then come Stop it, a song that got a long post on this blog from me.I thought that the song wasn't as cool as it should be and even if it is a nice song it doesn't really match my picture of B.A.P. 

I just watched Rain Sound a couple of times now and this video is also different. It is sad and easy whit this yearning lyrics and sound. Some of the B.A.P-feeling is back with the good rap and manly voices, but it is also filled with boyish crisp sounds and a pitiful feelings. 

Bang Yong Guk have some trouble to keep it civil!
Somehow I think the song is better than Stop It but the video is a bit dull. It doesn't have as much things to think about as Stop It at least. They are only showing the boys standing alone in a room and breaking different things; Burning a mannequin, trashing a chair, pouring poison in the flower water... and then this green rain falls over them (like poison) and stuff explodes and they get all shot in the chest... really a WTF-moment!

I like manly men crying as much as every other girl but I don't thing that is a theme that matches this bands image and even if it should be it is a bit dull to build the whole video on even  when the settings and the light matches really well. I myself would have liked a video that tells a story a lot more. The lyrics have a lot of thing to work from like the red umbrella, the heavy rain and the boys odd sad feelings lying in there beds and thinking about her. A girl in the video may have matched also in flashbacks ans such.

But instead we get the different metaphors for how they try to erase the girl from there mind (by burning, ripping, throwing it away) and at the same time trashing all of the things. (One other thing I was wondering about was the ambulance, what the hell are that doing there? did they burn down the whole place?)
Cute Zelo pour all his hate into the vase instead...

So the song is fully ok, not there best but ok. The video is a bit boring in my taste but I will still watch it a lot I think, mostly to listen to it. 

And Hey, I haven't told you to see my new playlist on Youtube yet, have I? I have a new one for kpop in 2013 so be sure to check it out! And of course you are welcome to add your opinion on this post if you like, I want people to write to me a bit more! Love you and see you later!

Diet, day 1

Yesterday was my first day of dieting, here is the list of things I have eaten:

Breakfast
Mini-Yogurt (no sugar nor fat added) 
A boiled egg

A boiled egg
Water

Dinner

I have realized that I am going to have some fun making new things for this diet. My sister have given me some recipes to try and later on I am planning to try different things myself. I thing te first day went really well, I haven had any troubles yet.

The princess diet

After some thinking and discussions I have decided to try a diet my sister have tried. I am usually not found of dieting, I think you looses something when you always think about what you eat. But right now I really need to loose some weight and I can at least try.

So the thing I am going to try is Dukan (AKA the Princess Diet, I really like that name <3). It is a diet where you eat a lot of protein and excludes almost all carbs. Dukan is built on four different phases; the first one you eat only protein like meat and egg, the last one you eat as you usually do but have one day each week for meals on only protein. It is a way to restart the way you eat and the way your body takes care of your food (it is hard to describe in English >__<) and for me that sounds like something that can work.

I am not to sure how well this is going to go for me personally, I don't like not being able to eat what I want. But hopefully I can loose some weight at least (even if I don't really think I will loose all the weight that the web generator calculated for me). The best thing is that my fiancé decided to also try so at least for now we are two fighting with it! But maybe that will be a problem later on if one of us gives up because I think it is hard for the other one to continue alone...

Well, we will see. Maybe I will post some updates here about how it is going because it can be a nice way for me to keep track myself when I usually don't like to talk about these kinds of things, with all the people around me, when I am so afraid that I wont succeed >___<

FIGHTING!

Kim Sung Kyu - I Need You

After my long post about Kim Sung Kyu's 60 sec I decided not to make another one based on his new song I need you. And I didn't, until now! I can't help myself, I am really in love with his voice >__< 

This video isn't as interesting and as good as the last one even if the use f black and white in the beginning of the video matches the feeling, and the change to color is good for the feeling as well. It hasn't so much of a story but instead it is held up with the lyrics. The song is basically about needing strength and and help from another person in dark times, a really sad message. The melody is easy and sad but also a little bit uplifting and hopeful as well, something that hits me right in the heart. You throw away all your carefulness because the need of another person is so strong that nothing matter any more.

The reason that I can't stop myself from posting about this song right now is that it really matches the feeling I usually have this time of year, right after new year and before spring. It is sad and cold but at the same time a bit hopeful with the sunshine coming back and a whole new year ahead of us. I somehow compare the way this song makes me feel right now with the way Big Bang's Blue made me feel last year even if Blue wasn't released until 21 of February and I need you was released in December. Blue was pure awesomeness and I need you can't really reach the same level but the both have the same feel about them and Kim Sung Kyu have a beautiful voice.

I am not going to write more about this song right now but I hope you listen to it and likes it and feel free to ask questions if you are interested to talk more about it!

2012

Finally it is 2013 and looking back on the year gone by I realize how important this year has been in my life. To start with, I started with, the beginning of last year was a lot of planing for our trip to Paris and Music Bank. It was one of my best trips in my life! So nice to travel with all my friends <3 and the concert was wonderful! and the food and the sightseeing... It was a fine way to start up the year ^__^

I come home and the life went back to normal for a while. But me and my fiancé started to look for a place. We found one and in June we was living together. It was also something wonderful, a step in the right direction for our relationship. After we got our apartment we spend a fun summer together, travelling to Göteborg and Stockholm, spending time with friends and family and just having a great time. We also bought our cat Quinn, our little baby.

The autumn was not as depressing as I usually finds them, I had my family to thank about that. Some small trips to meet friends have also helped. Another thing that was important was the preparation and the weeks at my internship at the school, I once again realized why I want to become a teacher. Unfortunately I think the internship should have been longer...

We survided the 21st of December and then we are finally at christmas, where I got to spend bouth in Katrineholm and Söderhamn ans also the days wen my sister wisited me at the end of the year.  In many was all of these moments have changed me, hopefully into something better. And now, looking forward to 2013, I really hope it is going to be a new great year!

When it comes to music it was also a great year, with Big Bangs Alive, the debut of some rally great artists and PSY's Gangnam Style, just to name a few. Maybe you would like to check out my playlist for 2012? I have also prepared a new playlist for 2013, hopefully it will be filled with great music!

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!
