I miss my family more that ever these days, and I really wish that I could go home and stay for a little week or so... But there's just a few more weeks left now so I guess I'll just have to deal with it and try to think on something else.
During the last weeks of the semester, when studies is all that exists in my life my skin always goes freakin crazy so I to try to treat it the best I possible can. It always shows on my skin when I'm stressed or if I've hadn't had enough sleep.
I've bought the Hydra Floral moisturizing mask and Daily peel pads from MD Formulations to cope with the problem, and I also try to drink at least 2 litres of water every day.
Hope all of you will have a lovely easter holiday! :)
Love
M

Yesterday I left my home at 08.00 to be a bartender at Mysteryland, which is one of the largest electronic festival in the world with 50 000 people. After working for 12 hours at the festival and then waiting to get paid I got home at 03.30. Totally dead. Bartending at such festivals is extremely hectic as the stream of people never stop, it just keeps going and going.
I am definitely going back as a visitor next year and not as a worker. It was real torture standing working beside the Tiesto tent, knowing you won’t be there dancing at all.
The worst thing is that you earn so bad in the Netherlands compared to Norway. All of my friends back there earn at least around 120 kr/15 euro and above, while i earn 58 kr/7 euros and hour. It’s such a difference to Norway, compared to the price level of everything here. The only thing that is slightly cheaper here is groceries, for the rest most of the stuff has the same price level as in Norway + plus i need to pay stinking 110 euros a month in health-insurance. And then you still see these blogger girls whining about the fact that they can’t go to the café and drink their cappuccino. We have it so extremely good in people, and the people don’t even know it, because they are so extremely spoiled many of them.
It happens often that the dutch television channels send out Norwegian kids show, and today it was the movie Orps(one time at the bandcamp kinda thing.) So today I’ve been siting inside, watching norwegian telly as the weather is so extremely bad.

The date says that it should still be summer here in the Netherlands, but unfortunately the weather man is giving us something else. It’s weird how the weather can decide your mood sometimes, I really feel better when there is sun outside. I got my new leather jacket in the mail yesterday, but I can’t use it yet because of all the rain. My nice new black leather jacket, I’m so in love with it that I could probably even sleep with it.
The last couple of days has been spent cleaning and fixing some paperwork for my internship. Not the most interesting stuff, but stuff that must be done. Can’t wait to start working though and get some routine into my life. Tomorrow im signing up at this gym so I can start taking Zumba and Yoga classes.
Today I gave away my old tv to a friend of mine. I really love giving away stuff. If there is one job that would be perfect for me then it must be being Santa Claus. haha, ok I’m totally random today. Don’t really have much to say so I’ll stop before I start wondering off about lame things again.
oh, only one thing. If I can get one thing for christmas , then I wish for a cleaning woman. The must be the perfect gift, or just loads of money.

A good laugh can get you a long way it seems as i’m feeling a lot better today. The food yesterday was good, even though I managed to embarrass myself several times.
At this sushi restaurant you can order small portions of whatever you want as many times as you want. So as fancy as I am I ordered a portion of green beans.
Then they show up and I realise that I haven’t eaten such beans in a long time and is greener than them on how to eat them. Therefore my friend who is chinese shows me this fancy way of sucking the inside of the bean out. She made it look all simple and stuff, however when I did it. What happened? The round thing inside the bean finds out that it is way better to jump out in the middle, a cross the room and onto the floor beside another table.
I even managed to do it three times. I dunno if anyone saw me doing it as I mostly kept my head down, shaking of all the laughter. We also used several minutes just checking out if anyone would actually step on it. Must be allowed too be a bit childish sometimes he?
After the food we took a stroll trough Red Light District(whore streets) on our way home. I sincerely feel bad for many of the girls behind those windows. With the right guidance and opportunities most of them would work perfect in normal jobs. We had a lecture at school from a human trafficking organisation and they told us that most of the girls in Red Light District is around 17 years old, who came there through men tricking them into believing they were going to work at restaurants and stuff in the Netherlands. Sometimes I’m really happy I’m from a small town in Norway.
Anyways, I went to Ikea today. Yay for putting together Ikea stuff. Wish me good luck.

Today is one of those days were you just want to lay in bed all day, watching telly and eat candy. The weather is horrible, I have a fever, everything hurts, the time of the month and a lump behind my ear that I have no clue what is. You better go away untill tomorrow lump, or else mrs. doctor will have to take a look at you.
Anyways, even though I should probably be in bed, im on my way out the door to go to Amsterdam with a girlfriend. We are going to a sushi place. I don’t eat sushi, but japanese meat is so delicious. As it is all you can eat, I have a feeling ill be rolling home again and hopefully the wasabi can take my fever and lump away.

The Malta post needs to come later as I can only upload my pictures to boytoy’s computer.
On saturday I went to the Intuition summer festival on the beach. Normally there is loads of international people at this party, but unfortunately they must have gone elsewhere this summer so the party was without the good atmosphere it usually has(Dutchies does not like to dance most of the time). I only got to hear a couple of dj’s as we came quite late but, Dj Lange, Simon Patterson and W & W played good.
However I got to meet some friends and had a little dance by myself. The pictures are not so good since they are taken by my beloved blackberry. Overall it was a nice day at the beach.

I arrived back from Malta yesterday, but as we needed to get up at 05.00 to fly home I didn’t have more power to update the blog. We even found out it would be good to go to an outlet mall when we came home, so that’s where I spent my afternoon. Bought something as interesting as new running shoes and tights, cause dang, I need to get back into shape. I’ll probably die a thousand times while doing it though.
Anyways, I have a beach party today, so I’ll give you a post about Malta and how awesome it was tomorrow. Enjoy your saturday.

The day started of with the usual stress that you have when you have no idea what to wear. After running around like a maniac, making the whole apartment a total mess, me and boytoy got picked up of our friends at 15.00.
After a trip to the supermarket and back home again to pick up earplugs, we finally got on our way and arrived at the festival parking shortly after. That’s when the hell begun. The minute we put our feet on the ground, it started raining. However as the troopers we are, we started walking towards the festival area.
Cico, Wardt, Willem and boytoy Ruben.
So after walking in the rain for a while we were all relieved to finally be at the festival. Me and boytoy headed for the guestlist entrance as we had tickets there, we thought, and the others went in the normal entrance(lucky asses).
We get to the counter of the guestlist and we face this woman who from now on will be called Cow, because that is really what she was(I hope I never met her ever in my life again). The Cow then told us that we were supposed to be at the entrance at the other side of the festival area. We just needed to walk there and it was no way she could help us at all. After trying to talk to her and ask why she was being completely ridiculous about letting us in we start walking. After ten minutes this guy comes up to us and tells us that we are walking the wrong way. OF COURSE. It’s still raining at this point mind you. So we walk back to the Cow. This is when my boytoy actually got so pissed off he didn’t have words anymore and I ask gently for her name as she flipps on me because she realises I will actually complain to the organisation about her. However, we did not get in at that entrance no matter what. So the 5 KM walk around to the other entrance started.
The walk was rather boring and the only exciting thing we met on the way around was this little fellow.
After 45 minutes we arrive at the other entrance. Were the woman behind the counter tells us that the Cow was wrong and we could have gone in there as we actually had tickets for that entrance. (Yep, as i said, cow was really a cow, stupid). However we finally get into the festival only 3 hours later than the rest of the group.
I started looking for my girlfriend who I was supposed to met at the entrance, but as everything got screwed she ended up going in before me. As I was waiting for her I took this highly interesting picture of my shoes(wondering weather they would actually survive the festival or not) ,
as well as this one of the umbrella I stole at the first entrance. It basically saved my life as I walked around and it therefore deserves a tribute.
I met my friend at mainstage, which this year was quite a small compared to other years and there was very few people as they were mostly crammed into the tents instead.
After staying at mainstage for a while it started raining cats so we decided to head for one of the tents as everyone else, we ended up in a hardcore tent, which say the least was not blasting out very danceable music. Luckily it stopped raining and we headed out again.
My leather jacket didn’t love me that day.
Then I turn around to take a picture and as lucky as I am, I loose my friends. So after walking around alone for a bit I head to the A state of Trance stage as I know my boytoy was going to be there.
That’s were I get really excited as I see this break in the clouds. However the clouds fooled me and it started to rain again.
After meeting several friends and watching Armin van Buuren play,
we all were happy we were heading home. Walking wet and tired out of the festival.
Dance Valley 2010 was an incredible wet experience and muddy experience. I had one dj I wanted to see and that was Gareth Emery, but because of the Cow I didn’t get to see him. Now I need to find another festival to visit, as I didn’t get to dance at all.

I’ll give you a review about Dance Valley tomorrow, all I can say for now is that it was extremely wet and muddy.
I’m way to tired to bother to write much more so I’ll just leave you with two links that I found today.
Emma’s designblog - The name says it all I guess, it’s a swedish woman who is writing about design and has a lot of inspirational pictures.
Chickdowntown – This is a webshop with all kind of different(expensive for the most) brands. The site has some great sales at the moment, so it’s definitely worth a look if you have some cash to spend.

So, im finally back in the Netherlands. Both flights yesterday had horrible landings. I think the woman who sat beside me on the first flight thought I was wierd as I started leaning towards her because of all the turbulence. However I survived and got back home safely.
Several of my friends says I need to start a blog, so from tomorrow, this blog will be a bit more personal. This way I can show them what I’m doing down here(not that it is so much).
Today I’m going to Dance Valley. It’s one of the worlds largest electronic festivals with around 50 000 people, that’s 5 times more people than in my hometown. I saw the festival site from the air yesterday and it looked fantastic, too bad its raining. I really have no clue what to wear. I’ll show you some pics from the festival tomorrow. Have a goodie day.

I don’t think ive ever been so ready to leave for the Netherlands as I am this time. Normally I have a bitter taste in my mouth because I know I will miss all my friends so much. However this time it feels different. Maybe i’ve grown up a bit or maybe i’ve actually started to like the Netherlands(my friends would laugh if they saw this as im a good nagger about certain things that happens in nl).
It’s just something about sitting in your own sofa, knowing that no one is going to tell you to put that dish in the dish washer straight away. My little furry ball who always sneaks into bed after boytoy have left in the morning. Sushinight with my friends, even though I don’t eat sushi. The possibility to stand on festivals with your hands in the air with good music blasting. Driving on the highway watching what people do in their cars while driving(Yes, im a sicko), I even miss seeing my boytoy falling a sleep on the sofa after work,to then start talking dutch to me when he’s half awake again.
Jupp, this time im definitely ready to go back to the Netherlands.

After a few days at my family’s vacation house, i’m more then happy too be back in civilization again. It’s nice being there, nothing to say on that, but when your hair get so dirty you could basically make a mohawk out of it and your whole body is full of mosquito bites, your kinda fed up of it.
Been downtown with my brother today to find him some clothes for this autumn when he starts on a new school. Oh my, what a hell I put myself into. I really think my mom could have warned me the slightest bit that this tiny little man was the most picky man on earth. I probably showed him more then a 100 pieces and he ended up with four. But hey, four is better then none I guess.
I didn’t buy anything for myself except:
EOS Lip Balm
I have the red and green one, not only do they smell and taste terrific, but they also work.
However I also bought this on the internet, been wanting it for the longest time already.
American Apparel’s Circle Scarf
I had a similar scarf from H&M , but this seems to be the year were I keep loosing my favourite things. So far its been my favourite necklace which I lost in Berlin, my favourite scarf which I lost at a friend’s house and my favourite sunglasses which my grandmother took and ruined. Anyhow, bought the scarf in the color Asphalt for about 21 pounds on the American Apparel website.
All my friends are going out tonight, while i’m staying in with my little brother, making lasagna, watching movies and eating pop corn. I’m such a good girl. heh

So I’m finally ready to go to my vacation house. Sounds fancy doesn’t it ? Well, it’s a house on a small island with no running water and outdoor toilet. Back to basics in other words. Because of this I won’t be posting much personal stuff this week, but I have some photos lined up.
Hope you have a great week!

Yesterday when I was about to head to bed, I see this monster in the roof of my bedroom. The wallpaper in my bedroom is so dark I couldn’t see what for monster it was nor could I jump up and kill it, in case it was one of those crunching bugs again(I had one earlier this month that I didn’t manage to kill). So after some minuets of consideration of what to do I decided to sleep on the sofa. I didn’t want this monster to come and take me when I was a sleep.
This morning I went back to see what the monster was. That’s when I see that the monster was just a simple fat fly. He probably had the time of his life in my room, while I ended up looking like I haven’t slept for years. Gee, I need to learn to not be such a pussy.

My old aunt just left and the funniest thing just happened. I carried her luggage out to the car and placed it behind it , so my granny could put it in the trunk as she had the key to the door. But hey, granny though otherwise and just got into the car together with aunty and drowe straight over aunties luggage. I must admit I had a good laugh as I stood in the door waving with my hands to make them stop. Luckily both the car and the luggage survived the happening.
When I come back to The Netherlands in a month I will start looking for similar boxes to use as tables, like on the picture underneath here. I already have two zebraboxes that I know I will buy when I get back there again.
Need to paint some walls as well. It’s horrible when you do it, but so much fun afterwards when you see how nice it turned.

It just won’t stop raining. Now it’s been raining for days and it’s getting more and more depressive. I heard a lame joke about it yesterday though .
When God create this piece of Norway, he thought it was so beautiful that he needed to wash/clean it everyday.
Very funny. However, I want a Canon G11 camera. Therefore sweet little me needs to start saving a total amount of around 400 euros. Should be possible within the next few months hopefully. Anyways, gotta go and make that lasagna.
