Its the little thing that counts...

With all due respect to flowers and jewlery.
The best thing for me is the little things.
Doesnt have to cost a fortune...
But it must have a thought behind it.
And to recive it on a simple thursday or a boring monday...
Like today- after a 14 hour workday.
My favourite water in the fridge and a box of chocolate on the livingroom table.
Perfect.
Yeah, long day but really fun!
Had a big buffet to take care of and it turned out great!
130 people who where satisfied is the reward for a chef...
I love these kind of works, to have many things in the head at the same time.
A more detail kind of work with a twist of E!
Now my feets kind of hurts so I will lean back in my grey sofa with my
big glass of bubble water with pear-flavour and a piece or two of my chocolate.
Yummie!
Have a good night people!

onsdag 26 november 2008

What do we have here...

Ara in a greek kind of pose.
Oh me like.
Me like alot.
Good night people.

Getting a brazilian...

Took a little trip to the beauty salon.
Got a first aid help to a broken nail.
And...
I booked myself up for a brazilian.
Ouch...this is gonna hurt.
Date of painday: 18 th december.
New nails with a french touch /new cute toe-nails : 21 th december.
I asked how long this pain kind of thing will take.
-One hour miss.
-Say what again???
-One hour miss...
Hmm.. I could take my hair off with a tweezer in less then a hour.
Haha.
But I will go...
New things is cool..or a big misstake?

Perfect evening E style...

With a big bowl of ricepudding, cinnamon and milk.
I have really nothing to complain at...
The book I am reading next to me, almost done.
A beautiful sunset outside the window...right behind the bridge and black sea.
A lovely bouquet of red roses on the table.
A newly made clean kitchen.
And cute M is on her way here later tonight.
Girlsnight with "wanted", Amarula and gossip.
About stupid boys.
Yeah!
I know a boy who I miss...
Hope to see him soon though.

Different equals good in the world of E

Today this fine gentleman visit my work.
A Idol kind of guy in the cold Sweden.
Audition for a songcontest-show in one of the big channels.
I had forgot all about that, when I bumbed in to him outside work, all stressed and with my hair just flying all around and a rushed glance in my blue eyes.
-Fuck, I am sorry.
(walked 2 steps, turned around and yes... it was him)
Haha.
Good first impression E..smooth.
Second time I talked to him he wanted coffee.
See, that I am good at.
Coffee, here you go sir.
Third and last time was when I served all the nervous people food and drinks in the
audition-hall.
He wanted food.
No problemas.
Oh my God the poor people who stood in line to get their vocals judged.
Some of them sang so bad my body just turned to ice.
Some of them so beautiful my skin got goosebumps.
A special lady did a swedish traditional SONG from the past.
And it was one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
I dont know why, but everything from the past seems to get to me.
Right under my skin and in to my heart and make this happy feeling.
One guy played on his medieval flute.
And I dint think I need to tell you how much I liked that.
My thoughts just flew away fo all the medieval markets and places I´ve been to.
Oh I cant wait to the next one this summer.
The scent of smoke from fire places, the food, the people, the dresses and the dancing.
A good day and a different way of work.
Me like.

Overtime?

Night shift at work today and I think it will be some hours of overtime.
A big event with 400 people, they may get hungry.
Then I am ready in the kitchen!
Hmm.. having on eye on the tv-
A guy is trying to make the world record.
Holding his breath under water for 16.30 minuts.
Thats just crazy!
I think I am a pretty good swimmer and I can hold my breath for quite a while.
But over 16 minuts-I have been dead a long time ago.
Hope he makes it!

Dont insult me...

My friends are my family.
When they have problems I have that also...
When someone insult them, I get insulted.
One of my best friends boyfriend is a real jerk.
She dumped him couple of days ago and now she is in a living hell.
He is insulting her by names and telling her awful things.
Why?
Are we not grown up people?
Or is it really okey to say those sorts of things just cus he is hurted?
I think not.
And I truly hope she will take my offer of staying here with me as long as she wants.
Good friends are rare and I appreciate every single one I have.
Now its time for some comforting words and maybe a new point of view?

Just a little something meanwhile...

This is on my speakers.
Perfect song for this weather.
A cup of Glögg and a warm blancet wrapped around me in the sofa.
Lighted candles and my 2 cats purring beside my left feet.
Think I will open and finsh my book; a story about Middle ages, marriage, knights and romance.
Could it be more E-style?
Dont think so.

Grilled seafood...

Spent my day with sweet M.
Gossip, coffee and more gossip.
Thank you Girl for everything...
We met R and took a trip to the mall.
And hey, listen to this:
E did not buy anything!
Just some food for tonight...
No new perfumes or clothes.
So, went back home, took a shower and now dinner is
on the stowe.
Grilled seafood, liba-bread and a sallad.
Yummie!
Hmm.. I think I need some chocolate also...yes, its that time of month.
Yeey... watch out for the sweet blue eyed monster.

Hmm...

I was looking outside the window.
Having a warm tea-cup in my hands...
Leaning my head on the wall and my breathing made little white marks on the glass.
There is snow on the roof tops all over town.
There is snowflakes falling from the thick white sky.
I dont like snow.
Only in distance.
It makes awful sounds when walking on it .

I wish...

Right now I wish a little light green fairy would give me one wish.
It had been a breakfast worthy a king.
Some fresh orange juice, a hot cup of red tea with some honey in it.
One croissant with orange-marmelade, a bowl with sliced mango and passionfruit.
And finally one portion of C.
Haha...Oh I have humour this early in the morning...

Sleeping Princess...

*Yawning*
I am of to bed people.
A day who never wanted to end is finally here.
Movie was okey...
The freezing air was not.
I really hate this weather, my lungs felt like they where cover up with ice and my whole body is like stiff like a tree.
And the worst part is: No voice of C before sleep.
That kind of sucks and I hope tomorrow will be perfect...
Good night my friends and sleep tight!

söndag 23 november 2008

A glass of water and some aspirin...

Go to work with a hangover is not the most clever thing I have done.
But I did.
And it kind of worked.
Food came out and I did not kill anyone.
Now its a cold shower and some makeup.
Will spend my night in Gothenburg with my favourite S.
This one is on my speakers right now- perfect in the shower, dont you think?

lördag 22 november 2008

Bartender..one more please!

After a crazy day at work I was just on my way to go home.
When one of P´s friend called me- Hey, we are at the station in 5.
Be there and we take a drink or two.
Haha.
Met the sweet girls at my station right outside my apartment and hey...
How can I put this...
They where a few drinks ahead of me.
I pulled sweet P up to my floor and just gave her and myself a drink.
Some new make-up, a fast rescue to my hair and a short black dress and jeans.
We went to some clubs and had a drink ot two..
Cosmopolitan, Rum & Pineapple juice and some Breezer.
Bring it on dear bartender.
Met many old friends down town and therte was some gossip.
And what we laughed and had a good time.
Thank you girls..all 6 of you!

Gustaf Cederström - The Funeral transport of Charles XII

1878




Vincent Van Gohg - Olive Grove: Orange Sky

1889

Wondeful day...

After a day with lovely paintings as my company it felt good to
walk in "my" town and just be.
The christmas feeling is so real there, the lights on the trees, the freezing air and the smell of
hot chocolate everywhere.
I walked by one of my favourite restaurants, a turkish one.
Had been a while since I´ve been there and I think I forgot how good it tasted.
Grilled lamb, garlic rosted potatoes and yoghurt sauce.
Mmm...
Kind of bought a new perfume also.
The new from MEXX-Berlin.
Smells like; mandarin, lemon, bergamot, freesia, heliotrope, water jasmine, white musk, hawthorn and sandalwood.
I feel like a fruit basket now...
Haha..
And I know... I knooow I did not need another one.
But thats whats make E happy :-)
Perfumes and clothes.
And C...
Now its time for some meze and red wine.

Leaving for a while...

Gothenburgs Museum of Art.
Will be back tonight.

Just a little something

Today I got a whole blog-contribution just for me.
Thank you P and you know what, things will be just fine.
Here is a little something for you that always makes me smile when I have those days.
Its not new, but it works.

Sorry...

I made one of my favourite girls cry today.
I dont know why...
It was just some blueberry pie i thought...
I am sorry sweety :-)

Brilliant...

I never watch tv.
Its on, but I never watch.
The music channels is more like a background of my life.
A way to get the latest RnB hits and something to sleep, eat and do my chores to.
But there is one program that got my attention.
Halal-tv.
A sort of documetry with and by 3 muslim girls.
Cherin, Dalia and Khadiga
is taking us to a little trip in the modern ways of Sweden.
And I am ashamed.
People calling them names just cus of their belifes, gets upset by ther way to greet one another and people who just dont get it.
We are are the same, we just belive in different things.
Simple as that my friends.
They question our way to see beauty.
Its not often something on the tv gets my attention...
This does.
Brilliant.

Aaah...



I bought my favourite water late last night.
Put it in the refrigerator cus I knew how much I would longing for that after work.

And I did.
I do.

Just got inside and took a glass with icecubes.
And my blueberry water.

Mmm...


Got a sms from mother.
Made my eyes filled with tears at work.
Sweet words and a caring tone.
How could I judge her so easy?
C said- she is a woman, she will understand.

I guess you are right.

Funny how other people know more about her then myself.
Sad really...


Tomorrow I will be having some hours to the creative side of me.
My eyes will lean on some fantastic art of Von Gogh, Picasso and Rembrandt.
Gothenburgs Museum of Art.
One of the best ways to spend my friday.

After that, some food from a restaurant I love.
Spicy herbs, noodles, seafood and a glass of wine.


My heart miss you.
And I hope I will see you before the next week begin.
Maybe tonight before you leave for Istanbul?

Jingle bells, Jingle bells...



Have been baking gingerbreads all night long at work.

The scent of clove, cinnamon and allspice really gives me that christmas feeling
we all wanna have this time of year.

The slow rythm of rolling out the dough and do all those little shapes of hearts, pigs and stars makes my soul feels calm and I cant help thinking back when I was 5- years old and this picture was taken.

Not a single problem in the world and having a good time at my
grandmothers house every christmas to bake.
I have not been thinking about getting kids of my own for real, but when this time of
year comes...It had been quite nice to have a little one to teach the art of gingerbreads...


Just for me...


I always give away songs for the people I care about.
But this one is for me only...

Poor little E...

Uh...
I dont feel good.
My belly hurts, my head is tearing me apart and all of my strenght is gone.
I hate being sick.
And I hate the fact that I must get up from this lovely and warm bed in a while to get to work.
After the night at P´s place, I fell asleep on the bus...
Haha..but I have this really weird thing.
I can set my mind on a time..and wake up exaclty then by my self.
So I did.
2 min before my station.
When I got home I just throw myself on the bed and I think I fell asleep in 2 sec.
Sorry C, I wanted to see your smile.
But, tonight after work I hope...If I feel better.

tisdag 18 november 2008

Tea and Jordnötsringar...

Worked to 16 and got a call from cute P
Hey-I come and pick you up...
So, we took our cute selfs and went to the city by the sea...
There was spicy thai and a walk with the doggy.
Now I kidnapped her laptop to write a sentence or two to you people.
I longing for your print tomorrow P. (yes the other P)
Oh... now I hear some voices calling me from the other side of the cosy sofa.
And the big bowl with jordnötsringar is flirting with me.
Weak E.
Weak...

måndag 17 november 2008

And sweet P...

I wanna read your little thing A.S.A.P
Bring it next time you work ok?

My favourite...

Everything she does is cool.
I have the perfect christmas gift for you to give me-
Carolina !
Wrapped in a red ribbon and a santa-hat.
Thank you.

I want a quiet place...

Its not silence here.
It is but not that much I want when I read.
Laying on the bed with 2 pillows behind my back.
Legs slightly bended and my head leaning a bit to the left.
But I cant focus.
Its to much noice and its to much things spinning around in my head.
I better do the thing I do well.
Have a date with C,
Me like

Funny thing...

I often judge people.
Not just in a bad way...but I think different thing about people I see or talk to.
A couple of weeks ago, a man called work.
Asking for some weeks of training in the kitchen .
He sounded like 28, tall, black hair, a sexy smile with dimples, quite fit and with a sence of humour.
Yes, all this I could hear from just one talk on the phone.
It would be fun working with a guy again.
Now its just girls...fun of course, but different.
(And yes i still love you sweet S..dont you worry)
So, guess if I was supriced when I saw him walking in the kitchen this morning.
Short, fat,28 and black hair though...
From India.
Haha.. not my type of guy at all.
He did have a sence of homour though and thats always nice to work with in stressful days like this one.
But, good cus then I can focus on the cooking instead.

A paradox maybe...

Okey.
I am a girl who hates to get scared.
For example; I think Bambi is a terrifying movie.
I get goose pimples .
Thats why this movie is kind of a paradox.
I LOVE the saw-movies.
Every single one of them.
Maybe its cus I get a change to think.
I like to think and make my mind spin.
In every one of these, I have figured out the end.
Way before half the movie is done.
Clever?
Do I think like a manic killer who wants to play before the ending?
Or is it a gift I have...
I dont know.
I just know I love to get scared by this one.
Number 5 was genius.
And I do know, its not gonna be an Oscar involved but I dont care.
Not many movies get to me.
This one does.

Going to the museum of art...

Spent the day watching, studying and looking at art.
Paintings made of some of our greatest artists.
I can really walk around there a whole day.
Loose myself in the world of fantasy.
I take a quick look first, then take one step closer...
Turning my head a bit...and just stare.
Haha... I wonder if its looks funny?
Took a little visit to S apartment and hey...
They come a long way.
New wallpapers, new floors and a brand new kitchen.
Very tasteful and just "lagom".
Had a date kind of thing with C.
When you have not seen someone for so long...
(Yes, in my world 4 days is long)
The belly is having a butterfly party, the lips are smiling by it-self and the hands cant halp but shivering..just a little bit.
What does this means?
I think I know and it scares me.
Now its time for some work...and after that a movie written by girls, and for girls to see.
" This is a visual beautiful story who travels between two continents..."
Its with Keira Knightley so it must me good.
She is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen.

If I had one wish...

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you

Flashbacks...

I miss India.
I miss the red sand and the loving people.
I miss the food- crayfish and chilli for a cost of almost nothing.
The scent of fire and incense everywhere.
The cows on the beach and the dogs on the streets.
The late night with my bare feets in the sand, watching the moon disappear behind the black ocean.
I miss the chubby lady who gave me massage every afternoon.
The smiles and the children I bought candy to.
The crazy traffic and the awful sounds of every car honking.
I miss the frech pineapple and the watermelon juice I had to breakfast every morning.
All the markets and spices.
And I miss the music

Piece of art ...

Just watched a documentry about Vanessa Beecroft .
What a genius.
She took 100 ordinary woman, made them take their clothes of and put them in a room.
Art.
Come and look at my girls.
The audience where more umcomfortable then the naked woman.
I had wanted to be at that gallery, with a glass of champagne in my hand.
Looking at the girls but also at the glances of the viewers.
It has been to long ago I visited some art gallery.
Maybe today?
A visit to a town nearby who has one of the most beautiful paintings I know.

Disney and a coffee

Disneys "Horton" on the tv
A cup of coffee, spiced with vanilla on the table
A big pillow and a soft sheet in the sofa
Perfect saturday morning
Sweet M called me last night-please get over here.
Of course I did.
I love walking at night, when its dark outside and all the scents is really getting through
my lungs.
We talked, hade some wine and laughed.
We are good at that and I think it will be a repeat tonight, just with some more friends.
Lovely!
And P, you´ve got mail.

fredag 14 november 2008

A copy-cat...

I dont think a pic have been more real then this one.
I am.
Laying in the sofa...with one blue eye always glancing at the red walkman phone.
Maybe a sms.
Maybe a call from over there...
I like this.
Feeling butterfiles.
I will do a copy-cat against P.
She did such a good job on her blog, so I will to.
The blogs/pages I must see every day is following :
There, my daily dose of the magic world of internet.
//E


What a perfect idea...

Sweet P got so good ideas.
Yeeeeey!
We are going to Barcelona!
A girl weekend in the spring and it gonna be so much fun!
Sipping coffee on the streets-cafés, check out the beautiful architecture, take a glass or two of red wine in the evening...
Oh this will be good!
Now I will lay back in the sofa for a second...
And this is what I am listen to...
Cant help it...but my thoughts is going far from here...
Something about 1797.81 miles away.
(thank you google.com )
Only 5 weeks left.

torsdag 13 november 2008

Chef-meeting at my place...

Worked 8-16, then it was hurry hurry curry..or something like that .
Running to the liquor store buying some more wine and Amarula.
After that, a trip to the store and get some things for a sticky apple-cake.
Back to home and take a quick shower ( meanwhile the cake was getting ready in the oven)
and a emergency-thing to my wet hair.
(no time to iron/flat before they would get here...thank you God for inventing the scarf)
It was a good meeting and I think we did the things we should.
No sad faces or something like that...
But, when I think about it, who can be sad when there is cake and Amarula?
And thank you all for the lovey flowers I got...
(not cus I will keep them alive more then one week..but, they are pretty)
They have left now but I dont think I will be alone for long.
A long distant call and some time with C...

onsdag 12 november 2008

Here we go again...

Well...

Cus of C is working abroad tonight...there is more time for the sweed to shop until she drops.

3 new sets of underwear and a top that I hope will be perfect for Istanbul-streets.
What do You think ?




The Silly song and rain outside...

The first and only thing in this girls head today..untill 14:00 some thing was this song...
Very annoying I must say.
It was funny as first...Humming and singing in the bakery.
Not so much after 10 min.
So, I looked outside the big windows and saw the one thing that have been kind of a routine lately.
Rain, rain and rain.
They say Gothenburg is little London.
I think we are not far away.
But hey, what I´m gonna do about it?
After the silly song, I got another one that I just love and have kept hidden back in my mind for a time...
Tonight this darling is on my speakers.
(When it gets to 1.08 something..I sing as high as I can...very glad I am alone tonight)

tisdag 11 november 2008

A real pic with my own hands for a change...

Okey people.
My first and maybe last pic of a part of myself.
But I liked this one so thank You sweet Marie at the Salon
I had a great day at work.
Cooking and serving the richest people in town .
And hey, they loved my fish soup.
*puuuuh*
My blue eyes glanced on their fancy bags.
Louis Vuitton, Dolce & gabbana perfect match to their fancy clothes.
And the best part,..it was nothing fake about it.
Not about the bags, or the sweet ladys.
They called me "little girl" and I guess its better then "lady or woman behind the desk"
:-)
Anyway..they loved the food and that made the evening worth it.
Did you see the moon tonight?
Tomorrow its full and even more beautiful then today...
I wonder if I should make a quick presentation of my lovely friends?
Just a first letter is quite boring huh?
Okey..
A is my best friend and called Anders.
S stands for Sara and we found each other at work. Love in first sight.
M i have several.
There is Malin, the girl I use to work with for several years, slightly younger.
Maria is one of my favourites, found her in school
Marina is one of my girls I bring when I go out and move these hips.
P is for 2 Petras.
One I have knowed since I was 6 years old.
We seems to stick to eachother like glue.
The other Petra is a girl who works in the same building as me.
Some years older, but gorgeous as few.
J & J is for Jenny and Jensen and they join us often for dinner or a movie
A is for Afi and we are newly made friends :-)
Puh..there we go.
I wonder if I forgot anyone?
Well well..
Now I know its C time.
Who C is I will wait to tell you...just because I can.
//E

måndag 10 november 2008

Good day and a very good night

After 2 hours at the salon and brand new nails, me and sweet P took our little cute selfs to the coffe-shop and bought some lunch and chai.
Grilled panini with a salad.
Yummie.
Thank you for a lovely date :-)
Rain is still hitting the window but after some time outside I kind of like it.
Its a winter-scent in the air and that makes me longing for that journey I will do.
Soon...really soon.
No gloves or hats.
No thick stockings or knitted scarfs.
At least not for a week or something.
Today C comes back from Istanbul and oh what we have waiting for that.
Have a feeling this will be a very good evening.
//E

Oh yes...

Getting my nails done today at 13:00.
Sweet P will be there, fixing one bling bling stone that she has lost...
And, didnt I read something about a coffee afterworths?
Me like, but I think we do a Chai latte...
All alone today and M working late.
Feels good to have some time for myself.
Doing my stuff, have my music on and just be.
*looking outside the window*
Oh my God.
Its really pouring down there...rain and storm.
I think I heard a thunder also...
I hate thunder and I really hate lightning.
This means E must prepare an umbrella and high boots.
I wonder if they match?

Like Father like daughter?

Fathers day and english fruit cake is a classic in our family.
A warm hug and some loving sentence about how nice I am who bakes.
(Like I have any choice..haha)
Dinner with lamb and herbs.
Dessert; glace au four with raspberry.
I really admire my father.
He is one of the smartest persons I know and his knowledge about the world amaze me every time.
He tells me about the vote for president in USA.
About Turkey and Israel.
About the EU and what it takes to be a member.
He has answers to every questions and I try to remember what he tells me.
They say that fathers have a special bound to their girls...
As mothers have to their sons.
I am proud to be my fathers daughter.

To fast...

I have a weak spot.
I love books and I read them from the first page to the last to fast.
In one day... maybe two.
The book I just finished took me 4 hours to read.
And every time I feel empty, wanting the writer to keep going...what happend after the last page?
This book was awful and amazing at the same time.
A girl in Palestine meet the wrong man.
Got gasoline poured over her and a lighted match.
She survived and wrote this book that lays beside me now in bed.
A creepy front cover of a girl hidden behind a white mask.
Only her light brown eyes to see.
Can one person read to much?
