I'm listening to good Disney-songs on Spotify (I just remembered that I promised to write a post about Spotify..a while ago). I really plan to do many things, g.e. write posts which finally never actually show up. But I'll do my best to do them a.s.a.p. 1) Write a post about Spotify.I'm a bit rusty apparently. When I was starting to write this post I remembered that I've done it already. If you wonder what Spotify is, click HERE 2) Finish writing how and what I saw in Scotland a couple of months ago (July). 3) Write my FOP:s. There is so much to tell you Opera-friends. Done now! Click HERE! 4) Post pictures of my finger. 5) Write a post about "Bitter Cunt" - the book I got from Elma as my Bday gift. 6) Write topics that may provoke some of my readers, more than reading about my every days. 7) Post about "FUIS goes Osqvik" 8) Post about Afghanistan and the current situation 9) Write about my trip to New York and Marcus.
Well, that's about it.
I'm warning you though...many posts will come! Hakuna Matata - No worries /// Mizz MartÃnez
During the past weekend I've been on a conference here in Stockholm. Ah, what a nice time I've had. Most of the people were law-students, and the majority from Germany
As always, words can't describe the feelings. But I'll do my best.
The whole conference started with a reception on Thursday. Afghani buns, coffee and tea. My co-delegate and I On our way home after the reception, a couple of us...out of 168 delegates.
Friday: Me holding a speech. Receptions with drinks in the evening. A quick visit to a pub in Sthlm's Soho. Heading home...and some others to another pub.
Saturday: Everybody was working hard on DR. Delegate's dinner: Award for best knowledge about the UN. Me and Pawel, encouraging people to go out clubbing with us. :happy: On the dancefloor.
Sunday: Me and Jens A group of us delegates paid a visit to the Swedish MacDonald's, Max, before they headed to the IceBar and I went home.
I'm heading over to my second uni, to do research for the conference in Germany next weekend, return some books, then over to town to purchase a new outfit for Germany and books for my uni-courses.
As the title tells you my morning didn't start the best. A little thing with the car. I got stuck next to a tree with the right front wheel when I was backing out, on the field next to the 'road'. Luckily a guy came and helped me drag the car out of it's position.
Even though this day didn't start very well, I expect more out of it. Perhaps to study (read: read), eat lunch, have a seminar, clean the whole apartment (Pawel will be staying at my place during this weekend's conference that both of us will attend) and hopefully go to the cinema and watch This is It. Oh...and I need to work on my opening speech as well. And do more research. Fun fun fun FUN! Time for tea with lots of honey. And off to uni. I have a seminar with the professor that I like the most.
It's been a long, read: LONG, time since I wrote a good post. And because of lack of time, it will continue in that way, most probably til December the 4th. The list of what I want to blog about is growing. It feels good to have so many things to do but I will probably need to take it easy over Christmas at least. What things are coming this coming week: â Lectures â Seminar â Pre-conference lecture â FUIS-lectures: About West-Sahara and Aid â Conference â Parties, every single day from Wednesday until Saturday evening/Sunday morning â Shopping for the conference What I have to do a.s.a.p: â Read more about Afghanistan and their current economical and social situation â Read more about Brazil and the relationship with Afghanistan â Write a paper about terrorism â Write a critical paper of a UN-report â Read uni-literature for the papers, lectures and seminars â Write two reports about the latest FUIS-activities.
My dear friend Virpy is in Singapore, and I miss him sooooo much. But we'll meet. Soon. Next year. In Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia or Taiwan.
I really love his profile picture on Facebook. It says "Absolut Svensk" which means Absolute (Complete) Swedish. Such a lovely picture. I have the same shirt. Life is treating him good. Miss you Mr Casanova. We need to talk. I need updates. You know I do.
I don't know what I mean...but my heart is aching. Why? And I'm laughing. Can you be jealous for something that hasn't even happened? Can you be happy for something that doesn't exist? Can you hope and wish for too much? And on the long run, most likely disappointed of course. Most of this questions are rethorical of course. But if you have an answer to any of them, please share. It's early in the morning. I've slept two hours. Mostly because I have an exam and a party to prepare to. My exam starts in 4 hours and the party/sleepover in 12 hours.
FUIS organized a dinner yesterday. It went well even though there were different points of views on how things should be handled. In the end it was perfect. Because of the alcohol perhaps? I would say because of a lot of NICE people. A lot of food. People mingling before dinner. People still mingling... Me, Carlos and Wen. True friends! FOOD! Group-picture. Awards for best custome of the evening. Johanna won. You know who she dressed up to be? (Hint: Mexico) Goran was working hard with PR. Here is Kent with the highest prize, a tequila bottle. It entered the body of three people; Kent himself, Johanna the winner, and me - the boss. Wen and Kent dancing and posing. People chatting and having a nice time Me and Staffan. After eight tequila-shots, six beers, two glasses of wine, two liquorece shots (the consumption of the three of us) we were simply...feeling...GOOD! Looooovely picture! I had a very nice evening on Friday. When I look through my pictures, I get a smile on my face. When I think of how I got a free shot from the bartender because of how the dinner had turned to be a great party, and when I think of many other little events that took place yesterday, I get a smile on my face all over again.
Btw, what is wrong with Opera? I can't upload pictures here.
In on hour I have to be in my uni again to buy food for the dinner that FUIS is organizing. Exam? Check. Dressed up? Check. Make up? Has to be done. Walk with Muñeco? The same.
before I'll be sitting in a large room full with students. Time to write Exam #2. Exam #1 is on Wednesday.
Need. To. Study. Some. More.
I've taken a 1,5 hour nap. If it goes unsuccessful, it's fine. But I prefer to pass it.
Marcus is uploading pictures from our trip in NYC on facebook...and this one gives me the motivation I need a couple of hours before my exam. It's THE new profile picture over there. Sorry to the ones that voted before, but this one was SO much better, for the time being.
Muñeco has been with me all day and night long...my personal secretary.
I'm thinking about changing my FB-profile-pic, but I can't decide which one of the five below I could put up.And that's where you come in. Begin voting now. I've already written a blog-post about my NY-trip, but since I'm under a lot of pressure during this week it may not come up...but latest next Thursday (probably before though).
In less than four hours I will be leaving this wonderful city of New York. It's bittersweet. I'm already grieving about me leaving this thrilling city. But I'll come back, that's for sure. Hopefully soon! I will post sooooo many pictures, that's for sure. Words can't describe all of the experiences I've gone trough in one week.
The shirts, that you've probably seen all around the world describes my current feelings the most right now:
Ps. Oh, Marcus is the best host I've ever had. I'm happy to be your friend! I'm happy to have you as my friend. I'm happy to finally have met you! Thanks MyOpera for letting us get to know each other in the first place!
As the title says, I'm having a blast here. I've fallen in love. For sure. I have to admit it. I've fallen in love with the city. So far we have been to Times Square, Ground Zero, New York University, The Brooklyn Bridge, the UN, Starbucks, Donkin' Donuts, Walmart, Macy's, Subway, Washington Square, The Apple store and some more places that I can't remember. 200 pictures taken so far, and with Marc's pictures add about 150. It's time to sleep. Tomorrow we'll walk a lot again. Greetings from the loooooovely city of NEW YORK. /// Mizz Martinez
