So I guess....

it's about time I stop ignoring my blog?

u-huh!
I don't even know where to start this time.. Since it's been months!
I think I'll start with Christmas time^^

Well, I had Japanese exam and an exphil exam which I passed on. :D I'm really happy about that! After my exam day I went straight ahead to Tromsø to meet all my lovely friends. Although... There was a lot of conflict between people I'm glad that I got to meet almost every one of my lovely crib^^
I worked some days at a kinder garden in Tromsø. Don't know what to say about that. It was okey, but I haven't missed it much though.
I stayed at my bestfriends house: Liv Elin. We hade many nice evenings chatting and having fun. Baked ginger bread and ate a lot of christmasy foodie thingies!
I met my dear friend Hijiri, who has been giving birth to a wonderful cute baby girl named Ingerborg. <3
I also met my cuuute "little sister" Aurora. She is still as cute as I've remembered her. Smiling and just beeing a cutie <3
I only had time to meet most of my friend once, which is sad. But it's hard to make everything follow the plan O.o

I was at my mothers place on Xmas eve. Really nice:) My little sister really sticked to me the whole time I were there. Also, my boyfriend celebrated Xmas with us. It was so nice to have my whole family there with me on christmas eve. And all the lovely fooood! I was so worried about my weight, while eating so much :O Haha, but it's okey. my body didn't change at all:P Haha.

New years eve, I was at a party that was held by my charming friend Dick. He's such a cutie! Always nice and smiling. Met a lot of other people too!

12. January I came home to Oslo again. It felt good, of course, since I love beeing home and study! XD And it was so nice to see all my friends here.

The japanese class is harder than ever. I mean... We were supposed to be fewer than before Xmas but we are not. Last year, they were about 50 left and now, we are 78. what the fuck? I thought this year was supposed to be easier. but there's even more competittion! I'm glad I finished the book (that we are supposed to be finished with in may) this christmas. I'm only making sure that the grammar sticks to my head!

I also need to work a lot this year. Because my boyfriend and I have decided to try and keep the apartment while I'm in Japan. So I have to work my ass of!
Well... I'm only going to be in japan for 4 months though. sooo.. I need 3000 NOK extra for the apartment in a month. Hope I'll manage^^

This weekend has been really nice!
On friday, Nina, my lovely friend and her boyfriend came over to our place and spent the night. We sang sing star and drank a little. Ate taco and have so much fun! :D
Yesterday Ole and I went to Ane. She had invited us to dinner :O Beef! Yummyyyy! It was a success! Later on, some other people came over and we chatted til the night and drank. Ole and I slept over at Ane's place. And she woke us up to a wonderful breakfast!:D:D

Hisashiburi desu ne! (It's been a long time)

Heyas folks!:D

I'm sorry I'm so lazy updating my little blog. But you know, the same thing I'm always saying: "I'm so busy bla bla bla."
I decided that I wanted to update you about how my life is these days!;P

Well... Where to start?
I've been working a lot and earning some money so that I can buy Christmas presents! Can't afford something expensive though! But I will try to find something nice to everyone! I've already got some nice presents to some of my friends!
I have work the coming Saturday too. Great with extra cash:D Although it's not that funny to work.

I've been with friends. Talked, shopped, watched movies etc.
Gah.. Jeez! I don't know what to tell you because I've only been at the library almost everyday. With my nose in a book!:P

Well.. Hmmm... Today we got information about the two universities in Japan that we can choose between. I don't know which of them I would prefer...

Hokkaido univeristy:
-Hokkaido is up north. It's colder than Oslo.
-It's cheaper to live at Hokkaido. around 1500 KR a month.
-The apartmens we get are a one room without a kitchen. We have to share kitchen.
-The apartmens ar at campus. (at the university. No need for bus.
-we are not aloud to have boys at this university, visiting.
-Shinkansen don't exist at hokkaido. So I have to take a flight if I want to travel.


Jouzai university:
-Close to Tokyo. It's warm.
-It expensive to live here. Around 3000-4000 NOKR in the month.
-We get apartments with kitchen.
-We have to take train or bicycle to the University.
-we are aloud to have guests in our apartments.


The thing I'm thinking about is: I want to travel. But where am I going to live then? Shinkansen is near one place and mayhap expensive? I have less money living in south. more money in north and can take a flight to anywhere in the weekends. I would prefer to live in the south, not the north. Feel I've had it with cold places-.- I don't know... Will I manage to save enough money before I go to japan, so that I can travel while living in south? O.o

I'm really looking forward to my trip to Japan. And a little sad at the same time, leaving my boyfriend behind O.o
I'm planning to study a lot in the Christmas holiday so that I'll get good grades on my next years exam^^

I'm so exited O.o
For now, our Japanese classes are over. So I'm going to study A LOT these upcoming weeks! endless of hours on the library.
But don't feel sorry for me or anything! I like it;)

Later guys!:D

Hisashiburi desu ne! (I

Desucon is over

Hey guys!
For those of you who don't know this; I did go to Desucon with my photos and drawings after all O.o!
I decided one week before desucon that; "okey! I'll go to Desucon after all! What do I have to loose?" So this week has been quite busy and nerve wracking! On Friday, one week ago I sent a lot of drawings and pictures to Japan foto! The pictures were finished and sent to Oslo Friday. PHEW! I've been drawing every day too! 1-2 drawings per day. haha! It's been really cozy, just ignoring my studies and everything. Haha^^ I haven't studied any Japanese this week. Was okey with a break!
We didn't have any class on Thursday and Friday either. Good for me! ;)
On thursday I met up With Liv Elin. She was in Oslo. It was so good to see her again. We went window shopping and had a great time. Liv and Ellisiv (her daughter) came to my apartment and watched Kung Fu Panda. Hilarious.^^

So, everything were made ready for the big occasion:D I was terrified but also looked a bit forward to desucon. The minute I entered the building I regretted everything! I was more scared than I'd ever been! How in the world was I supposed to sell anything at all? I were at Desucon 0900 AM. 1200 PM they entered the doors for the 3000 people waiting outside.
I shared the stand with my good friend Nina Marie, who I felt was a wonderful supporter! Gah, I'm so glad she was with me!
When they started the entering show, the music ran high out in the enormous hall. Goosebumps all over my body. They'd made a wonderful Anime video to the music^^ Then all the rush started, people ( A LOT of people) came looking at the artist who had Fan art^^. Not only that, but people were cosplaying too. Almost everyone. Was insane to see so mane people with flashy colored hair and strange clothes and all! I also met Link, Zelda and Midna. Wonderful!
Nina and I were at Desucon til 1900PM. I was really exhausted at the end of the day O.o
It went well, selling my drawing. I sold drawings for around 1800NOKR. Which is wonderful, because I paid 250 for entering and 1300 for the printing. So I really didn't earn that much but that's not the point really. I got a lot of good comments about my drawings and all. Desucon was really social too!
I just wish that I would have had more time to draw fan art, because I would have sold more then but hey^^ I'll remember that till next time!
There were so many people who came to Desucon that I knew^^ people from class, our teacher's, my landlord, childhood friends and people from Tromsø too! haha^^ Really funneh!:)

When I came home I drank ice coffee and watched television while drawing. We have a huuuuuge test tomorrow, so I'm gonna study all day long! I'm going to ask Ole nicely if he can be a sweetheart and make dinner for us!:)

Oh and one other thing... I've done a lot of thinking lately. I've decided that I'm going to do less photography and focus more on drawing. That's just how I feel. I'm not saying that I'm going to really quit taking photos though. I'll have some shoots now and then. I'll arrange photoshoots with models somethimes I guess.
It's not that it aint funny to take photo's its just that everything depends so much on the model (if they can do the right pose, have the right face, clothes etc.), the weather and time. I really don't like that. And It's so hard finding the "right model" who's really really good.
Maybe I'll do more of the natural photographing? I don't know... I'll keep on taking nature photo's and child photo's and so on^^ *sigh* looking forward to Japan ;)
I just want to improve my drawing skills! So that's my goal! I have 3 photoshoots these upcoming days that I'll finish and then I'm going to have a little break taking photo's! (unless friends asks me too take photo's of them, much easier to work with people you know!)
Later folks!

So.... What have I done lately? I really don't remember:P I been studying a lot as usual! ah ah! Now I remember! Last weekend I went to Trondheim to my Friend Zeila:D It was so much fun! I had a great time in Trondheim! I took a lot of pictures, had nightly pillow talks and I went partying with Zeila. For those of you who don't know who Zeila is; I "met" her through Club Nintendo Magazine when I was around 14 years. She's a airmail friend:P haha!^^ Funneh! I also had another Airmail friend whom Live in Trondheim; Xenonia:) Xenonia also went partying with us. It was so fun to see my "old" friends again. We don't see each other that often!

Well, I still love studying. I feel so lucky when I can say that I love going to my japanese classes although they are a little boring. And I just get sick of all the people who don't understand a thing we're going through in the Japanese Class! Haha, I know it's a bad thing to be irritated by this but I just can't help it. A lot of people act totally care! Sometimes I don't understand what they are doing in my class at all...

I've been really tired this week. I started Monday with school and work out exercises afterwards. Which is fun of course. But the main problem with this is that I'm so tired and moody when returning to my house. My cute boyfriend don't understand why. Of course I try to explain to him that I'm tired and have a lot to do, but it seem kind of hard to him to understand. I sometimes feel really bad about being so moody when I'm at home. And sometimes I just have so much to do that I "forget" that I have a boyfriend and love life to take care of!
It's just that... I feel that I can never stop studying because there's so much to learn every minute I study which I don't wanna miss. But I need to pull my self together and start caring more about my love life^^ Maybe do something really cosy at least once a week.
Then again, it's all the friends that I have.. Who also want to spend time with me... And people don't understand: no, I can't! There is just to much school work to do." People almost get mad and really disappointed. *sigh* I just wish people would understand how much I have to do all day long.

Ole Morten's friend Ole Petter came to our place Wednsday. He's such a nice guy. I like having him here, and Ole Morten seem to like having him company. Although the have these childish little discussions. Haha. I'm laughing a lot:P Well.. yeah.. Been making Pizza and been up to 5am and so on.

This night I got my period. Yay! I'm so happy! ahem! Not... I couldn't sleep. What the hells wrong with my period? can't it just be like I'm used to? Which means; not hurting and all that:P haha... If I'm a sleep when I get my period I always wake up having a hard time to breath and fall asleep again. It usually ends with me not attending to class or something because of the lack of sleep, as if today.

Karoline, Benedikte, Petter, Håkon and I went to Drammen today! testing out the svimming pool there!:D Haha! Really funny! they had pools with artificial waves and streams and wiiiiiiiiiii! So funny!:D:D I really want to go there again! After some hours my periodthingie started to hurt like hell again so I got really tired. Although we went to Håkon and made taco but I had to the the Train home. Not funny to sleep over at someones place when you don't feel that good. Just spent the night skteching on a new drawing, which I hopefully will finish:D And I've read some new Japanese grammar^^

Now I really feel like going to bed:D So have a good night. Going to celebrate my friends birthday tomorrow:) nighty!

this is a sketch I started. I really liked it at first but then I rotated it and discovered a loooooot of things I didn't like with this drawing!:P

I am alive!

Yeah, I really am! But the last month have been so incredibly busy! Starting the university, getting everything settled. I just haven't had the time to think about my blog at all. Although I feel a little bad about this. My blog is after all a good opportunity to tell my friends all around the world how I am, and what's happening in my life.

I'll try to make everything short, but informative. My studying is going well, i get mostly 97-99% scores on the Japanese tests that we have every Monday. So I'm really pleased with that, although I get annoyed when I don't get full score! I always do silly mistakes, forgetting some hiragana and so on.
The exfac studies... What can I say about this topic? It's hard. Motsly because I don't understand that much >_< I'm starting to believe that everything I'm reading in the book is just rubbish! It's all about things you know, only that they've made up more difficult words for it XD Haha! I'm not even sure how I'm gonna make it through the exam. I'm trying my best to understand everything. but there's just so much to read and so many strange new words all the time. Well, enough about Exfac:P

On my spare time I stud study and study. It seems to be everything I do these days. I was supposed to attend Desucon but I don't think I'm going to do that after all. I don't have any new drawings. I just get angry while drawing when it doesn't turn out like i want to. This last weekend my anger exploded around 4 A.M. Haha, I just started weeping and crying, shouting and cursing. My cute boyfriend tried to comfort me but I was so angry and just cried more. For like 1 hour or something? It's been a really long time since I've been this angry, but you have to consider the fact that it was in the middle of the night and I may have been quite tired:P
When I don't draw, study or is in class I go to the gym and work out. Feels wonderful! I just love lifting weights^^ It so much fun! I try to go swimming once a week too! I don't know if this is a surprise; but I almost drown when swimming O.o I'm a terrible swimmer! hihi!

It works great living with my boyfriend. We don't see to have any problems at all. I really like this! I still love my apartment, although I get really mad every time I enter the kitchen. We've got this annoying flies coming from fruit and now they wont disappear! Advice anyone? It doesn't help cleaning the whole kitchen btw-.-

I've had some Photo shoots too! But since I lack of free time I haven't edited that many of them yet! I started yesterday working with the pictures:P I wish I had more time taking photos and drawing!

Anyway, I'm going to Liv Elin December the 9.! Really looking forward too! I'm there for for a whole month! of course I'm going to see my family too. But I'm planning to work a lot in the Christmas holiday! I need money! Speaking of which, I've got a little part time job here in Oslo which I really enjoy! I'm giving free stuff to people. For example; new chocolate entering the market, new hairstyle and so on. It's really a nice job, people get so happy when you give them something for free. I really like that. You don't meet people in a bad mood while working. The other wonderful thing about this job is that my working schedule is really flexible. I can just choose which dates I want to work! perfect:D

Tomorrow my little brother is coming to Oslo. looking forward to see him!:)

How is everyone?
I feel fine:D I just love to study, I don't know why. It's so strange! While I was working,it felt like I didn't have a life at all, the endless 7 and a half hour every day. Being back to studying again feels so wonderful! Although I'm really exhausted! My alarm starts to make noise at 7am every day, I wake up, get dressed and eat breakfast. Then I'm sitting here, under the bed, till 13:30 PM and runs for the bus to the University=D I really really enjoys studying. I spend a lot of time to study Japanese, just to improve or remembering things that I had forgot.
The main problem is that when I'm finished studying at 8PM, I've overworked my shoulders/neck. Then I use the remaining hours to draw, and my shoulders won't get any better with doing this. Around 11 Pm my shoulders hurt like hell, I almost begin to cry sometimes:/ I really don't know what to do about this. I try to sit in the right position and everything, but it doesn't seem to help that much O.o what to do? The only thing I've come to conclusion with is to be active some hours of the day: swimming, running, walk etc.etc. *sigh*
I can't stop drawing either XD No chance I'll do that!

In October I'll probably attend DesuCon. I'm going to have an exhibition. If... I have enough drawings to show up with. I really don't know. I spend too much time drawing on one piece. I hope to do some fan art for DesuCon, and some of my own. I will bring some digital art, paintings (hopefully) and traditional art:) I'm going to draw Zelda-, Ghibli-, and Final Fantasy Fan art. I'm really looking forward to do some Fan art again, It's been a really long time since I've actually done that. I'm just so worried and most of all; I doubt my self too much! I'm having this stupid thoughts: "why would anyone buy my work`?" "How old are the people who's gonna be there?" "can they afford to buy anything?" "and what's a okey price to pay for my drawings?"
Djeeez, I believe I'm just going to end up with nothing after attending DesuCon. But I'll give it a shot. It's a bout time after all:)

I don't know if all of you've noticed, but I finished my Cyborg drawing yesterday. I'm not entirely pleased with the background, but my mind was blank and that's the only thing that came out:/ It feels great, to have a lot of drawing inspiration again. Can't remember last time there were so many things I wanted do draw O.o

Yesterday, my friends and I went swimming. I'm in a really bad shape I think, because I was the only one who almost drowned during the session:P But I've never been a good swimmer.

My boyfriend has been so kind to buy me a wonderful birthday present!:D I'm so happy. He bought me a flight ticket to Trondheim! I'm really looking forward to go there. But first, Liv Elin is coming to my place next weekend. And the weekend after that, Mia ( Zeila) i coming for a weekend visit:D I'm really looking forward to! I hope we'll have a great time:D

I'm having a upcoming project with some other artist that I've met! I'm so exited! I'm going to shoot elf pictures with this other photographer. We've found a great model! She is really cute and loves being in front of the camera. You can find Hanne's photos here: Anikken Hanne Vik
I met this girl who can sew clothes:D So she is also helping us making a dress. We've just started the sketch! Look here at her DA page.
Hopefully, my wonderful freind Bent Are (belros Fletcher) can make a wonderful fitting necklace for the dress and model:D Really looking forward to!:D:D
