Life in London

Last night was wicked, I had so much fun! Went out to this new club that just opened around Piccadilly. The club was great, the music was amazing and the people were so much fun to hang out with. The night itself was just one of those you will always remember. After a night of fun I met this guy who owned a restaurant in Soho so we ended up having dinner in his restaurant in the middle of the night, or maybe almost morning.

Unfortunately you’ll never know who you meet when you go out in London, which both has it's good and bad sides. But I guess in the end that’s the charm with seeing new places and meeting new people you never know and you take the good with the bad. To make a long story short the night ended up with police cars and an ambulance outside my window. Lucky for me I succeeded to sneak away right before everything broke out. I was already safe in my room and crawled deeper down under my blanket.

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

I've been working all day got off at 7 pm and I was the only one left in the department. After a really short week it doesn't really feel like friday. I was suppose to go out for some dinner tonight but I really just felt like staying home an unpack my bags. My room is such a mess right now and it's so small that it doesn't take much to mess it up.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with some friends in Notting Hill, we are going for some lunch and then maybe to the portabello market. If there is one place in London I would love to live it has to be Notting Hill. I already found the perfect pink house on portabello road, with a not so much perfect price...

It didn't take long to settle down in London again after my vacation, it felt like I never really left but I guess thats what happens when you lived somewhere so long that it feels like home.

I'm really excited about this year, I have a lot of new plans and dreams forming in my head and it will be interesting to see where it will take me. And lets face it starting off with a life in London is not too bad.

Another thing I realized when I was back in Sweden was that Hoolister California opened in the mall in Stockholm. I was quite chooked when it turned up in front of me. And walking in to the store every part of my body thoght I was back in Cali. it looked exactly the same! all of their stores does and they built it so it's gives the feeling of stepping into another country, California with other words. It used to be my favourite store and if we didn't went there for the clothes we made excuses just so we could look at the hot guys working there. Did you know you actually need to look really good to be hired by Hoolister. Live up to a certain standard. I'm sure all they want in the CV is a picture because in the end nothing else really matters to them, One of the requirements to be hired is not experience or skills but a six pack. Well I'm sure there is a lot of opinions about that but one things is sure you will never be dissapointed by the appearance of the staff :)

It's a new year and I just decided to give this blog another shot...

So I've been back in Sweden for 10 days now and unfortunately it's time to go back to London tomorrow. Time is passing so fast and 10 days seeing both friends and family is way too short! I don't really know how to feel about going back to London tomorrow it's a lot of mixed emotions to be honest.

It's hard to put words into everything that happened this year, both good and bad. I guess the best thing this year was my trip back to Cali to see my host family again. I can still remember the feeling of home and happines filling my whole heart on my way from the airport. A part of me will always be there. And maybe one day I will move back if I'm lucky, who knows what the future holds.

In June I took another big decision and decided to move to London. It was a little more spontaneous but it just felt so right. It's always been a dream of mine living and working in London. I lived that dream and I gues it's coming to an end in the near future... I can just feel it. it's when the dream you been longing for and working for one day becomes reality so much that it's nothing special anymore, the moment you start to dream about something else is the moment you creates an end to something that used to be your dream. One door is closing and another one will open.

I also got promoted this year for a position I been dreaming about working really hard for. Thats the funny thing about dreams. You think about them all the time, soaring away in your mind and putting effort, hard work and sacrifices to pursue them. And once you are there, ones you achived what you been dreaming about another feeling kicks in. It's like winning you taking it all in, let it fill every corner of your body and then it's all over and emptiness is filling up your heart. And before you know it you start all over and fight for the next dream. It takes, tears, pain and power to gain what you desire. But ones you are there you decide to start all over to fight for something else in a blink of an eye. Because in the end you love the way towards the goal as much as you enjoy the success of getting there. But I believe thats the beauty of our dreams. And everybody who has the strenght and will to pursue our every wish, everybody who has the courage to walk against fear and take a risk must somewhere within themselfes love the road that takes us there no matter how hard and bumpy it might be.

For this year that just started I will catch every moment, embrace every opportunity, seek every dream and follow my heart wherever it might take me.

I wish you all a year filled with happines, dreams and memories of a lifetime.

It's December and christmas is everywhere. The only thing missing is the white snow on the ground. Every morning I wake up and pull my curtains away just hoping I might look back at white snow floating in the air. Every morning is the same, it's too warm for snow...I do miss it.

I love the feeling of christmas and I miss all of those litle things you do in Sweden around christmas. It must be the only time I really miss living in Sweden. No matter what country you are living in it's never quite the same.

I booked my ticket though and I will be back the day before christmas eve. I can't wait!
