Everything Is Good

Had my last final exactly a week ago. Time flies so fast. It was good. I was content and I’m excited to continue my research during the break~ I’ve been busy hanging out and catching up on a lot of things I usually don’t get to do. Here are some cellphone photos from the past week and a half~

Two Worlds Collide

This week has been awesome. My best friends from Sweden are in Los Angeles and I’ve been spending time with them. It’s always so surreal for me whenever they come and visit. Every time we see each other we’re much older. We lived in Hallsberg together when we were younger. Then we were split up when they moved to Uppsala, but we still visited each other whenever we had the opportunity. Then my family decided to move to the US. They have come and visited us three times since I’ve moved here. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit them in Sweden next time <3
We’ve been to Downtown LA (Chinatown/Little Tokyo) and the Silverlake area. We wanted to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain but we all overslept from staying up all night so we’re planing on going next week (school starts for me ;_____;)!!!! Luckily my friends like roller coasters like I do ^_______^ <3

Randomness begins:

I have chopped my hair. It is very short and I’m KIND OF regretting it because it’s just sooo short. What was I thinking…..

Been reading Dune. This book is filled with awesome sentences.

I hope you guys are having a good weekend so far <3

Sunday Funday

Sunday is usually the day that I dread the most during when I got to school but during the summer, it’s the complete opposite. My friend and I decided to play tennis during the day for some stupid reason. It is so incredibly hot over here right now. We were on the court for an hour and my face was already red (even though I had slathered on sunscreen..I don’t burn easily). It was so hot and we had run so much that I couldn’t control my breathing. The sun light reflects off the courts too…everything is so bright. I felt like I was in a sauna that I couldn’t escape.

After tennis I drove to Atwater village where my other friend lives. We walked to a nearby food place called Link-n-Hops. We ordered Bratwursts and he got a beer and I got a really good pear cider. We walked to a used book store and browsed around. They are selling a lot of Harumi Murakami books for very cheap! Then we drove to Silverlake for gelato. The afternoon light was really beautiful there. I love afternoons the most.

After Silverlake, we went to his house and picked up Ponchik and walked along the LA River. The river is such a wonderful place…it’s not hidden away but it sort of feels that way. When you drive on the freeway, you don’t notice it. It’s always very peaceful. Last night the water was moving very fast and was making a lot of noise. I didn’t remember it being like that last time I was there~

Also! I kind of /sort of changed my layout. I’ve been wanting a small change for a while now but I was too attached to my old layout. I had it since 2008…and I still like it very much hahaha. But I just wanted to try something new and see what happens. Who knows…maybe I’ll bring the old one back next week if I miss it too much!!

Have a wonderful week <3

jag vill ha tårta

It’s Friday again. Time passes by so quickly. The heat is unbearable so I have been home all day trying to hide from the sun. Yesterday was a packed day which included friends from Sweden, Swedish princess cake, Ikea, and dehydration. The day ended at the local Barnes & Noble with my friend and my sister. Happy Friday~

Back from the Desert

I’m back from Palm Springs. I had a wonderful weekend with my sister and my friend. We drove out there Friday morning and had a blast till we came back home. We ate good food, exercised and hung out at the spa everyday and laughed a lot. Saturday morning we woke up early and drove to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway which takes you up to Mount San Jacinto where we hiked around. Up in the mountains it was nice and cool….such a huge contrast to the intense heat below.

We drank a lot of coconut water and watermelon drinks to stay cool~

The restort we stayed at had tennis courts right by our room. I had nobody to play with though ;______;

This is us having fun with sunscreen before our hike.

It cost about twenty bucks per person to use the tram. It was an amazing ride….kind of scary, but amazing.

The mountain was filled with beautiful flowers.

My sister and I doing some Armenian dances when we reached the top~

Lame but necessary poses.

CAKE WE HAD AFTER THE HIKE. It was a gluten free chocolate cake……I only ate half…was too filling.

And some more food we had. MYAHHH.

I just came back from my Structures class. I got a 95/100 on my midterm. I am beyond thrilled. I aced that crap. Now onto concrete slabs!!

HOPE YOUR WEEK STARTED OFF WELL!!!!

Can’t wait till the weekend

I exercised in the morning, cooked, went to school and studied for my midterm that is tomorrow (GROSSSSS) and then played some tennis at night. Just came home. It was my first time playing with my new strings. I need some time to adjust to the strings cause I was hitting a lot long balls…booooooooo.

This is what I ate in the morning: Soft boiled egg, tomato, avocado, leek, lemon, pepper.

What we ate for my sister’s birthday: A whole-grain cake from Whole Foods. It was super rich and yummy~

I bought my sister a charm for prosperity and I got myself this love charm. It’s so cute….it lives in my pencil pouch.

This is something I ate last week: Garbanzo beans, tomato, leek, mint, olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper.

I love strawberries.

I’m excited for an upcoming trip I’m taking to Palm Springs this Friday! I’m going with my sister and our friend. We booked a hotel a few days ago. We’re just gonna be lazy….well we’re gonna do some hiking…and then be lazy. I want to catch up on some reading that I haven’t been able to over there. It’s going to be super hot…I will need to pack a lot of sunblock! I’m very excited~

We wanted to go to San Francisco instead but it’s a seven hour drive and I have school on Monday, so it would have been a bit more difficult. I might go there after my summer class is over though!

I’m getting my hair cut the day before we leave…made the appointment today. I’ve been thinking of cutting it to my shoulders which is a little scary since I’ve always had fairly long hair but I think a change will be good. It’s summer so going a little shorter will be good!

OKAY…back to studying. Wish me luck~

I LOVE FOOD

Food appreciation post. I met someone yesterday that was embarrassed by the size of her portion of the food she had ordered and it made me sad because it’s not something to embarrassed of. Food is amazing and if there is a lot of it then everything is even more amazing!

Food should make people happy…not sad. My uncle always tells me about his first date with my aunt. He took her to some restaurant and was impressed by the amount she ate and was happy that she wasn’t embarrassed about it. I’m not advocating unhealthy eating and eating too much (I am very careful about what I ate and I also exercise everyday), but it’s such a waste to stress out about what others think of the amount you eat! Enjoy life~

Crepes are amazing.

This burger was amazing too.

I like to cook quinoa and eat it with avocados or tomatoes or whatever I have in the fridge. So good.

My sister bought me Yan-Yans. Had to eat it. So good.

And then today I went to Le Pain Quotidien by UCLA with my sister. She is graduating in a couple of weeks so we had to go get her cap and gown!! YAYYYY

I tried to make a Triforce.

Have a happy weekend <3

Jupiter & Venus

Spring break is over and I’m back to school again~ This week has been pretty chill so far and probably will continue to be but I’m going to start working really hard on my project this week! No relaxing!

My friend and I went to Ikea today instead of going to studio…..horrible. But we needed a break. We each bought a chocolate bunny and ate ice cream~

Last week I was baby sitting my friend’s dog <3 These two photos are from Saturday. I took him for a walk around my school. I miss him ;______; Nobody to jump on me when I get home~

FOOD.

Father – daughter convo.

Jupiter (left) and lovely Venus (right). Love looking up and seeing them <3

Have a wonderful week everyone <3
