Just some thoughts on pick ups...or attempts at them!


Ok.so tonight as mentioned I had some funny people come up to me for example: Had a funny 70+ plastic surgeon invite me to his birthday party (yey Lewis 75!!! ceeeeelebrate good time come on!) like it was going to be the biggest event this year..("oh let me get your number so I can put you on my guest list!" ehm..no)

And another funny one was this drunk as hell 40 year old WOMAN that started coming on to me at the end of the night. Maybe she was just too drunk..I dont know if she was like "trying# or just being "nice"..anyways she wouldn't stop throwing out compliments..really..it was the funniest thing ever..she cornered us and woulndn't leave..ha. ha. ha. Random random...

Why do people think it's such a compliment to say "you should be a model!"???..I think that's what every man (and apparantly woman!?!) over 40 has been taught to say to all the women he meets!?!?!..I mean it's just awkward and embarassing..and weeeird.

Note: big no no...unless you're a model scout.

Time to wash the night off...

So I'm a little tipsy and just got back from the party! Had a lot of fun..though me and sara basically spent 60% of the night discussing what we should have worn.

Oh well...we were a little to dressed down it turned out..or as I like to call it..I looked a little too "white-trash"...and Sara shouldn't have worn a cotton dress.maybe.?! hahaha...we were rushed past the red carpet..sorry..no celebs here!

Hahah at least I was a great success with some really random people...hrm..maybe my white trashy look gave me away?!!...i felt like anyone who was 40+ would feel obliged to come up to me. Great success.

What do I wear for a premiere?


Stuffing my face with potato chips as i am contemplating what to wear tonight..Am going to a premiere for the new TV SHOW Lipstick Jungle tonight..could be fun right? i don't know..guess time will tell. I have no idea what to wear to these things..I guess someone from L.A would have a better clue..we never have that many tv show or movie parties in New York..or I mean comparitely I think New Yorkers are invited to less of them..cause they dont have them here..haha balabl bla bla..I'm so bored right now.

I am not as tired today as I was yesterday and most of the designer stuff has fallen into place..things are slowing down after a hectic few days.. So tonight should be fun..not so much shit on my mind!

Another crazy day at the office


So that's why I haven't written anything today..Spent the whole morning riding around in another town car to make sure all of the designers we've been working with this season got their stuff. Hectic!
One of my bosses is on vacation, my collegue just went home after a whole day of vomiting in the bathroom (yeah glamourous world of fashion i know) and the big boss just left for the weekend...so I'm alone in my office..finally a second to write!

Somebody help her out of that corset!


Hahaha..just found this pic of a little runway show I walked I think maybe like 2 years ago now? I look so unhappy...! I really was too, because I couldn't breathe I remember..
God i really don't envy those models of this upcoming fashion week though..i mean..hmm..no i wouldnt say no to some of their bodies..but the lives they live the shit they have to take the uncomfortable clothes and shoes and everything..

Runway hysteria


I just came back from an exhausting day at work..it didn't start off so bad but then the stress of fashion week came crawling up on us by the end of the day..I ended up riding a town car around to the designers studios (together with one of my collegues) delivering all of the stuff they had been waiting for from my company..

I'm absolutely exhausted but it was fun at the same time..We really did end up in the midst of the whole New-York-fashion-week-hysteria..lats minute fittings, naked wandering skeletons (a.k.a models,) crazy designers, long bearded photographers, tired seamstresses making last minute changes and the random hippie people just hanging around. It was an experience. That party tonight is out of the question..I'm sure everyone will have fun but all I can think of is my bed...The real hysteria starts tomorrow...

PS!
The pic I put up isn't from tonight..it's someone else's similar experience. :)

To go or not to go..that is the question!


I just came back form lunch and am now emailing with a friend of whether to go to the party tonight. I really just can’t make my mind up..I mean I can’t stay out late tonight anyways…since I’ve got to go to work early..but then I do have to say that it seems like a sweet party and a lot of people seem to be going..it’s a good friend o f min that s throwing it with a bunch of other guys..so it could really anything…I think I’ll stop by for an hour just to take a look..and then try to be back before it gets too late.

Time to wake up and smell the coffe huh?


Having one of those tired days again..having troubles keeping my eyes open..I woke up about 5 minutes before I ran out the door to go to work..and I feel like I still haven’t really woken up. For some reason I never seem to be able to get to bed early..

It was so lovely when I used to have my jetlag from Sweden and I would go to bed at 8-9 at night and wake up so refreshed at 6..I would have no problems dragging my ass to the gym..no problems getting up..aw. those were the days. I don’t know why I couldn’t keep that going? Too bad I actually don't drink coffee...

Random emotional reminiscing...



When I came home this strange melody got stuck in my head..parts of a song I hadn't heard in a long long long time...a song that was vaguely familiar..then it just kept on growing and becoming stronger in my head until the whole song was just in my head..
i hadn't thought of it or listened to the song since high school..so I ran out and asked my room mate (who is a friend from high school) if she recogniced my humming it at all and she did so I managed find it online.

The feelings that came over me and that are still coming over me as I am listening to it right now..are absolutely insane..I mean..I feel like I'm reliving a certain period of my life when this song sort of represented my relationship to someone..it's just so weird how all of the feelings from that time just resurfaced.

I almost felt like throwing up when I suddenly felt that horrible sad feeling of "over"..it was over between me and this guy and I was heartbroken, but relieved, bud angry and sad and just all of those mixed emotions came over me again.

Isn't it weird how a song or a sound or even a smell can bring back things you had long "forgotten"...wow..what an emotional crazy thing.

Mad money...

Just came back from the movies..I was actually surprised by it..a lot better than I had thought. It was entertaining..I'll give it that.

Quiet night


Ok..I'm off to the gym (yes, this time I'm not just saying it!) and then going to the movies to watch "Mad Money" (starring Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton)I have no idea if it's going to be any good..but it wa sthe only movie that didn't start way too late. The only movie I REALLY want to see is Atonement..but that seems unlikely these days.

I feel like this is the last night I'll take it easy this week..so much is happening..big party tomorrow (although I think I'll only stop by and say hi and for some reasons i'll keep to myself for now) and then fashion week begins..! Good times though! Now I'm off to the gymmmmmmmmm..and hey I'm still waiitng for a little feedback!

feed me!

Wow, can't belive I've written over 100 entries by now..I'm having so much fun with this site..would love to have some feedback on what is interesting, whats not....tell me what you think!
xoxo

Just a note on my good mood!

Isn't it weird how some days just feel so much better than others? Today is just as crazy and busy as yesterday but because my whole spirit is different I've got a million things done and I'm in a great mood! I wish I could feel his way all the time! It's just so much easier to take on life's trials with a good mood! On these kind of days I love my life and I love New York and I love everything around me, I love my job, I love my friends..I love you! :) ..am I bipolar?? Hahaha

It's a beautiful morning!

This day started of way better than yesterday. I got up in time to at least walk to work ( no no gym but still), and now I’ve just managed to get loads of work done! I feel great and well rested. I am motivated to get things done today and get back on my organized track!
It’s amazing what some sleep can do to you..i feel like a new person!

At least I'm not as big of a mess as Britney!


Poor Britney..she doesn't ever get a break..I don't know how sorry I feel for her since she's obviously one quite weird person..but I don't think anyone deserves all of the bad shit she has to go though all the time. I can't belive that ugly asshole of an ex boyfriend of hers is trying to sell videos of her "crying hysterically" after a night out..and I cant belive that fucking weird Lutfi guy who keeps telling the media everting about her and their "friendship"!.I can't believe any of the people she surrounds herself with! Can someone just care about her and not try to make money off of her? Not even the father of her kids seems like a nice guy..even if he's the angel in the drama of her sick life...wow. I just had to write something about that fucked up human being of an ex of hers though..adnan or whateve rhis name is..fucking bastard for exposing her and her private life when she let him in like that. No wonder the girl has multiple personalities, trust issues and a weird attitude..everyonen screws her over for money.

What happened to me?

I'm trying to convince myself to go to the gym? Where did my motivation go? I'm not even excited about the gym guy anymore (even if he's very cute he's kind of boring) I was so good for a while (no drinking, i was organized , i was working out everyday)now i just don't seem to be able to do anything. I'm exhausted..I'm a mess..my room's the biggest mess.. i guess i should clean it..If I dared I would post a picture of how it looks but I'm afraid you'd be too disgusted! ;)

Renting a place in the city---


is nt as easy as it should be...

Had a meeting with our landlord today..it's quite crazy how no one trusts anyone in this town..this guy has rented out this place to us for over a year..and he still doesn't trust us enough to give back even a dollar of our huge deposit..at least he let us renew the lease..but still..i mean come on!
Anyways..now we've got this place for an indefinite time it seems. It's good..we like living here. It's close t everything..we can all walk to work and school and shopping and grocery and whatever we want to do..we can even walk to a lt of clubs nearby..
However..we are going to have to try to find a new roommate soon though as Fredrika is moving back to Stockholm..that's gonna be a pain..since there are so many psychos around! :)

Yey!

Aw it actually worked! I was writing this long blog entry about my swedish food cravings earlier and then it disappeared when i tried to post it because the blogger.com page was down..hahah..maybe for the best anyways since it was a note about special noodles and spices. Yea..I know you wish you could have read that entry!

Hello?

Is the page working again?

Pause...

Oh god..just hit a wall..So I thought I could write a little entry..I'm so tired..Can't wait to go home today! I am sooo going to sleep early tonight.

One of my friends just called to tell me about her night with some Giants player..hahaha..Kind of funny..

Crazy days...

The office is absolutely crazy today! A new girl just started, so we are all teaching her the job.. and we have had several interviews to fill the other spot that's open..I think we actually just hired one of the girls that came in today! Everyone is running in and out and everything is all over the place..all i want to do is sleep since I feel like I haven't slept in a year (the whole weekend was sleepless as well). Fashion week starts on Thursday so we are going a little crazy over that as well..looks like it's going to be a bit of a whirlwind week. We'll see!
Anyways..Got to get back to this crazy little job! Just thought I'd write a little note!

A night of insomnia


Yet another Monday..had such a bad night..couldn't sleep at all..felt trapped and almost scared to fall asleep all night. I was panicking and stressing out in my dreams..but I was half awake..Just really unpleasant..then i woke up almost an hour ago and i cant go back to sleep. I should be going to the gym like i promised myself last night but my body is just too exhausted...I don't know what's going on!?! Maybe it's just all of my thoughts of the future that's starting to affect my whole body & soul..or maybe it's nothing.

1/27/2008

Hungover - again.

How is it possible to be so hungover for a whole day? I just don't get it..I have been so dead today! I've still managed to do a few things like brunching with Fredrika..going to madison square park and..then hm..nothing..I've basically hung out at Monia's place all day actually...now we're about to watch a movie..and then I'm going home to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep and hopefully start a fresh new week tomorrow. I am going to try to get up in time to go the gym before work..I love that feeling of starting the day being healthy! Today the last thing I've felt is healthy..I've stuffed my face with chocolate and bread, and sour candy and mexican and you name it....!!!
God this weekend just flew by..I can't believe it's monday again tomorrow!

Ouch!

Oh my god!! Just searched for bruises to get an image tp put up...and look what found!!I should not be complaing at all!!!


Bruised up!

I'm sitting at Monias place watching tv while she's cooking..she won't let me help out so i'm a little bored...

Just noticed that I had a huge bruise on my hip..it's like really dark and covers almost the whole hip!!! oops..i have no clue how that got there..kind of creepy!

PartyParty!


Mornin peeps!
I am once again hungover an tired as hell..what's up wih not being able to sleep the day after you drink? Annoying!
So last night I had dinner with some of my best friends at this place where we go once in a while...and I have to say I love it..because I've become a bit of a favorite with the bartenders so I didn't have to pay a cent for or any of my drinks last night (once again-it can be so good to be a girl in this city!).
Then I met up with one of the room mates and went up to the party at central parlk wst that i mentioned yesterday. really cool...the place had panorama windows looking out over the whole park and the girls who were holding the party had mad the cutest little snacks ( like chocolate dipped strawberries, mini bruschettas, nachos w. guac, filled mushroms and so on..suer cute!) The had ready made Mojitos and ofcourse I was going crazy for them...amazing!

Then we went on to meet up with some people at spice market in meatpacking and then we continued on to a private club (which I wont mention the name of since it's so secretive). It's this place where you either have to be a member or know a member to get in..and even then its hush hush and shhhhhhhhhhhhhh! After that we kept going to some other place but by that time i was so drunk that i had to take my ass home.yeah-again...im such a loser. But I really had a great night!

1/26/2008

2nd try for a good night out!

Despite my never ending hangover I've decided to try to make tonight a better party night than last night! Yesterday I just kind of ended up drinking with friends and passing out..tonight it's a lot more planned out! Always a good sign! I've got clothes to wear..I have a dinner with some good friends and then a big party on central park west to go to. Should be fun!
Will let you know about the night's escapades tomorrow!

Happy!

Awww I just got the sweetest little message on facebook from a girl who has read my blog and likes it!
"I spent the past 30 min reading your blog, very interesting and fun to read. Thanks for opening up your thoughts to the world."
Made me really happy! Thank you...I was just thinking at the gym that I really don't know why I even write this stupid thing since no one can possibly think its fun! Thanks for reading people..!

Drunken phone calls

Just came back from a very refreshing time at the gym..worked away the hangover! I think that's probably the first time in like 5 years that i've gone to the gym hungover!! ha ha...while I was there an old friend called to thank me for the sweet voice mail i had left on his phone last night..i was like...ehm...yeah..(I still don't have a clue as to what i might have said). then my battery died..so I didn't get a chance to talk to him anyways..I'm such a dumbass..I didn't even think I drank that much last night..but I obviously did since I had also given my room mate a heartfelt speech about how much I love her. Hahahaha...dear god.

1/25/2008

It's friday night..time for...


what?

What should I do tonight? I've got a few options that Im seriously contemplating right now..Just can't make my mind up...! It's quiet wine night with close friends..versus big drunken club night with partypal..versus movie night with one of the roomies...versus..gah I don't know. One of my roomies are playing loud house music out n the living room..I think I¨'m leaning towards..an at least drunken night!

Hahah I sure do seem to have problems making up my mind lately..

I cant waaaaaaaaaait....


......fooor the weekend to begin!!!" is echoing in my head! Remeber that song from like 2 years ago? Makes me think of the golden days of Nikki Beach in Marbella...! Goooood times!
I am heading home in a few minutes after a hectic day. meeting up with the roomie, it's cool to have her to walk home with now!

It's supposed to be a really cold weekend..haha..so I guess I can forget about that Nikki Beach feeling :) but you know what? i don't care about the weather right now....cause "i caaaaan't waaaaaait for the weeekend to begin..dududuhhududu...". It's going to be a good one!

Fashion week stress

Stressing out here at the office about the upcoming fashion week and designers..meanwhile it seems all of the magazines seem to have shoots right now! At least time is flying by!

TGIF


Thank God it's Friday!!! Woahowoha! The weekend is almost here!

Oh By the way: Yesterday was my most visited day out of all the day's I've blogged on this little page..just to let you know..! :)

1/24/2008

Hey reader!

75% of my visitors on this page are returning visitors! How cool is that..since I started just a few days go without telling anyone I love the fact that some people have found this page and started reading it continuously!

Rich-Bitch..this is for you!


Hahahahah..I know you're reading this!!! Do I really seem that bored..? I mean I kind of know I am but-..well f*ck it you got me. Can you make something fun happen then???
It's january..it¨'s freezing..work is..work..and yeah..I need to spend my time writing down my confused boredom. Try it yourself...you seem to have a little bit of time on your hands! ;) had to get you back for insulting me like that (you're kind of living up to that last part of your little myspace nickname daaaahling)

Cuuuuteness!


I was just over at Monia's..She's applying for jobs now that she's finished with school..I am so excited for her! It's so interesting..! Can't wait to see where she ends up!

She's been baby sitting a daughter of a friend of hers for a week and she's so adorable..just like the little dog they have..I am like in love with the dog..(am I ever not in love with dogs? I don't know) Anyways..he's amazingly cute..now I'm totally into getting a pomeranian! :)
gosigosi-gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos (as my boss would have said)

A city of questions...


I feel like everyone around me is in transition..maybe it's just the spirit of New York..life here is just different..in the way that everybody is constantly moving, changing things around..breaking up, hooking up, changing jobs, schools, moving apartments, moving cities, countries even. There is just so much happening..so much movement so many questions so many choices...it's a hard city for some, a city of opportunities for many..some fail and some succeed..some just float by and look back at some crazy years later in life...it's quite inspiring and cool in a way that it's so special but at the same time it's just such an uncertain environment..there is no set route you can go..you have to make your own choices. Right now..I don't know in or out..and I don't know what will happen..but I know this city will keep me challenging myself to find out what I'm really about.

Ugh

I'm exploding..my new years resolutions are going downhill...damn it! got to get back on track...

Seriously?


Woow...I just read this.. :
The radical Baptist church has announced that they intend to protest Heath Ledger’s stateside memorial service because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”
“You cannot live in defiance of God. He (Ledger) got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it's OK to be gay,” said Shirley Phelps in a statement sent out by the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church.

I mean, seriously.. what’s wrong with these people? Can’t they just show some respect for a grieving family?

Phew...

So the review went well..got a raise..it was about what I expected.. these kind of things are really not “my cup of tea” though. I’m so bad at dealing with any kind of criticism to be honest..and that is probably something I should work on…I remember in school I always freaked out everytime we would have those parent –teacher talks..even if I was good in school I just dreaded it and became so nervous and angry and upset over nothing..I feel like I haven’t changed..I’m just over emotional when it comes to being evaluated in any way. But this went well.

Help!

My review is coming up at work tomorrow...I find it really really nerve wrecking for some reason..will tell you how it goes tomorrow..keep your fingers crossed! :)

1/23/2008

Time to tell you about the GYM-LADY

I hate her. She's obnoxious and stuck up. She's rude, she's weird and she calls me CHILD! WTF?
I am talking about my gyms cleaning lady. She usually won't let people go in to the saunas an hour before the gym closes because she just wants all the cleaning to be done soon as possible so she can go home. Then she'll yell at people for taking the "wrong" showers (meaning the ones she's already cleaned) and then today..25 minutes before closing time..she tried to tell me that I couldnt shower at all..I almost lost it. She's so fucking annoying..I mean..isnt she supposed to clean that stuff after people leave anyways??? I really don't care if she doesn't want to..then get another job or try to get a different schedule LADY (i can say that since she calls me child). She doesn't only yell and lecture me but she has also had a go at one of my room mates who goes to the same gym (actually all 3 of us go to the same gym across the street- weird side story). Anyways..I'm so agitated I just gaaah..almost thought about talking to some manager! But I didn't..next time though....

Why can't I just find omething like this in the shower instead?
¨
Hahhhaha..just kidding - or not.

I know I'm obsessing..


..but I really can't believe Heath Ledger died last night..I am quite shocked by how it's shook me up..I have been moved to tears so many times just hearing his family's speech and seeing pictures of him and his baby daughter..It's just so sad when a young person like that dies..just really unfair. I was watching documentaries about him all night..and then of course I squeezed ina bit of my new found fave show Gossip Girl.Anyways, I guess they ruled out suicide which I never htought anyways..but then again..who ever thought that Owen Wilson would try to kill himself? There's jut so much we don't know about eachother..and that is probably true for people close to us too..

Me?

The SATC quote



So here is that quote I was talking about..

Carrie: Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away

It's as if even if this year or what I'm doing right now is not what my life will be later it might be something that will lead me to the right thing..because it will give me experiences and thoughts and meet people i would't otherwise..(and after all..my family and aboslute closest friends are only a plane ride away even if it might seem far away sometimes)

Thoughts over lunch...

Just came back from an interesting lunch w. one of my room mates. She just started an internship at a fashion company about half a block away from my company. Nice to have her so close..we kept talking about our futures which seem to be the big theme in my life right now..and everyone around me seem to have the same dilemmas..There are so many choices and possibilities in life..it’s just hard to figure out what would be the best for you..there’s this really cool quote from sex and the city which I’ll put up later. When I have a second..it totally explains a new thought I have..about mistakes and life choices!

yaaaawn...

No! Time to get out of this cozy warm bed now..and get dressed!
We are getting a new swedish intern at work today! Should be interesting...

Just a little note on Heath Ledger..again...


Was desperately seeking more info on Heaths death yesterday..all of the gossip blogs did a really bad job I must say..No one updated frequently..or I guess not a lot of information was releaed..it seems he died of an accidental overdose and that his ex fiancee (mother of his child) is devastated..no shit. What's going on with all of these stars lately? Makes me really freaked out about drugs to be honest..I've never really cared that much but i feel like I'm leaning more toward being disgusted right now. Why do people let addictions get the best of themselves? I don't know...

This is cool!

I just woke up and should be getting out of bed and dressed for work..instead I have been checking you guys out all my morning!
It seems I have a few readers of this little blog..installed one of those trackers a few days ago to see how many people read my confused thoughts as well as how much time is spent on the site (from about a week ago until yesterday)..really interesting..what I found the most interesting is that I basically havent told anyone about this blog yet..so it's just cool to see that quite a few people seem to have found this page on their own and that some are what the analytical program call "loyal readers". Soo cute!!!
All my love! It makes it more fun to write!

Close encounter...


When I come to think about it I was actually only about two steps away from Heath at Bungalow 8 about 2 or 3 months ago..I think he was there with the Olsen twins if my memory serves me correctly..weird to think that he's gone.

R.I.P Heath Ledger


I was so shocked to hear of his death today..so so shocked. Totally didn't see that one coming..I really like him as an actor and believe he could have become one of the biggest and best actors in Hollywood. So sad...I hope Michelle and Matilda are Ok..but they're probably not (god it sounds like I know them..but just reading about people and seeing them in magazines can make you feel like you know them sometimes.) Awful...I really want to now what happened and whether it was an overdose, suicide or something completely different...it was so..unexpected...I mean..I would have thought Britney or Amy Winehouse or anyone else would have been much more likely..but then again..that just shows how little we know about these stars we'd like to think we know all about....

Dinner-date


Just scheduled a “dinner-date” with one of my room mates. We never see each other so for some reason we have to like make a point to spend some time..quite crazy considering we sleep under the same roof..but our schedules are just completely different and we’re both always running around. So Friday we’re having dinner at this amazing little vegan place near union square. So see you then daaahlin'!

Connected!

My phone was found! You probably figured that out since I got a message form my parents!! It was under my collegues desk under a bunch of rolls of fabric. how random...

I heart NY after all

I just wanted to add that I truly love New York..but I am just one of those people who need to have warm weather to feel good. This winter weather just makes me so depressed. i love living in a big city..I love the opportunities the glamour the people...(most of the time) but I just need it to be a little warmer. NOW.

My restless soul needs to change things up soon..


So my parents just messaged me from Sydney (Australia).I lived there for a few months a while back and I really miss it..As I got the texts I was out at lunch walking in the freezing cold manhattan weather and I just got inspired to move over there. Wouldn't it be nice to always have beautiful weather and people with a laid back attitude around you?

I mean it's clear that I need a change..all I do is dream about doing something different right now..Why do I have to have such a restless soul?

I'm so weird

I'm so messed up. I dont make any sense at all do I? I was reading my post that I added this morning about VYNL and it's so messy and weird..sorry. I think I must have been alseep still!

Out of touch - still

By the way I hate that I can’t find my phone anywhere. It really sucks! I think I must have put it down somewhere here in the office..but I just can't remember...or it's stolen. I just don't know. My friends have apparently been calling my room mates to get in touch with me..and I was working late last night so I didn't even see my roomies.
I feel so out of touch!!!

review scare...


So we are having reviws at work right now..my review is coming up on Thursday..everyone seems quite happy with their raises…I really need one.
scary scary..I really don’t know what to say yet!

Just a little note about sunday's activities!


Forgot to tell you guys about my sunday with Monia. We went out to eat at this place called VYNL in Hell's Kitchen (far west 50's). Super cool..It really felt like walking in to a movie like saturday night fever or something..they had disco balls hanging from the ceiling and music pumping from all of the classic gay fav like britney/madonna/cher and seating in booths like in the seventies. I had a huge wrap (cobb wrap without bacon, chicken and blue cheese ad mozzarella-they thought I was weird-but hey i'm a vegetarian!)´that was super good and Monia had some thai food..yes that's how varied food they had. Just thought I'd write a note about it. It was one of those places that you only find in New York..super weird and niched..colors everywhere and barbiedolls in the form of old country and pop stars from the 70's-80's..I had to go to the bathroom like 5 times just to see them all..they had different themes in each with mosaic of a star and that stars music playing in the background..like elvis/ dolly parton /cher themed bathroom! Hahaha..so cool. If you get a chance you should check it out!

Disconnected

Sorry I've been so slow today..had such a bad day..first i sort of overslept for work ( or actually i was just late because i was tired and slow)..then I had to fill in and work as an assistant in the shop beacuse they were having their annual blowout sale (like 70% off) and there was a line of people queuing around the block waiting to buy some designer pieces for a fragment of the regular price..( had to laugh when a woman handed in her black amex-why would she need to stand in line in the freezing cold for hours to save a few hundred bucks? Guess it's how she got that amex in the first place)
Anyways..there I was completely disconnected from my regular life for a whole day (instead of my usual officework in the corporate office I was basically making ure that the sales people got the stuff they needed for their customers..great fun - not.) So naturally I couldn't update the blog.

THEN, i misplaced/lost my phone. Still don't know if it's lost or gone forever. I guess time will tell. On my way over to Apple to take a look at the Iphone (which I got inpired to buy when my phone disappeared) I tripped in the middle of the street in front of like a hundred people...

Then I finally come home to realize that my stupid computer cord is acting up again..and thi time it took like 10 attempts before I could get this stupid thing to work...I am so over this day.

Ahhhh let's hope tomorrow is better!!!

I will be wearing a sign saying:

Brrrrrr

So its monday morning and this morning felt like the coldest one in my history of living in this city.Freeeeezing!!! I thought I was going to die just walking to the subway.If it's going to be like this I'm telling you one thing: No more walking to work or walks in central park again! Brrrr...I'd rather die..almost.

Leaving..

Ok great! I actually managed to get a few things done! The building is closing now so I'm about to leave..to meet up with Monia finally!! God she's been gone for weeks and weeks. Way too long in other words! I think I'm going to have to buy her something cute as a welcome back present?? Hm..haven't got a clue as to what though..

Work overload!


just got into work and I had about 30000000000000 emails and som much other stuff to do..Anxiety attack approaching!!!

Time to get going

I have to get ready and walk to work now. I am so not in the mood but it need s to get done.
I have managed to do the grocery shopping and the gymming so I am on the way of completing a few of the tasks of the day!

No thanks...


I just got a little epiphany..was listening to this song (at the gym) that reminded me of this guy I've been seeing on and off almost since I got to New York..He's really never going to be who I want him to be so today I decided not to give him any more chances. Every time I do he disapoints me and it's a new year and I can't deal with that shit anymore. I still haven't been able to figure him out and I don't think I am even intrested in it anymore...so good bye mr. model. You're amazingly hot and you have some great qualities (Yeah. ;-) )but its time I leave you behind. I never knew you, you neve rknew me (so say hello goodbye- as mr david gray would have put it) And you know as well as I do that we were never meant to be..maybe you have been clearer than me on that point. It's been fun..mostly not..but quite frankly I just can't deal with your unpredictableness anymore. (Just made that word up didn't I?)

I just had to write it down because I have given this guy way too many chances..and there's no more going around it..it's so over.

Busy sunday

Morning!

Have a busy day ahead of me today.. Have got a few things I have got to do before the end of the day..tomorrow is monday and the big boss who's been away from the company for over a month will be back in the office...Soooo today I have to:
Clean the apartment (the long lost 3rd roomate arrives sometime today!)
Go to the Gym 1-1,5 hrs then walk to work..Work 2-3 hrs (hm I wonder if I can clean out my desk? The new girl starts on monday so she'll take my old desk probably).. Go to Wholefoods for some grocery shopping (is there a wholefoods uptown? It'll take forever to get from my work down to 14th..phew)..by this time MOnia should have arrived so I'll meet up with her..can't wait to hear her thoughts about what I should do next year...and then of course hear about what she's going to this year..she just got a work visa so she'll be applying for jobs!

Good thing I didn't go out last night! It's going to be a long day!

Monia-abstinence!





My dear Monia is returning to New York tomorrow! Finally life can go back to normal! I really can't wait to get her back here..it's been a slow few weeks without her to talk to..I usually talk to he about 3-4 times a day so I have been suffering from serious abstinence! Haha..
She was actually suppoed to stay with me for a week but I just got a text saying that the person who was staying in her apartment had left already..so she doesn't need to.

It's both good and bad I guess. Good because that way I don't have to clean up my room before she comes..bad because i won't get to spend as much time with her! Anyways..I'm defintely meeting up with her as soon as she arrives tomorrow..I'll be waiting for that call! :)

No Movie then...

I'm a little pissed off. Was suppoed to go see Atonement with my friend tonight but she ended up getting so smashed last night that all she wants to do is stay in..I left her with my crazy party pal at DIVA last night so I guess they handled the business quite well together! Too bad I ended up without any plans tonight then!?!

This "Non-drinking" thing doesn't seem to go down too well with my friends..alllllll they want to do i go out..yeah yeah yeah..I promise Ill go back to my old self soon.

Kate again




Look at that..It's one of the photos from the Kate Bosworth spread in Vogue. I have to say it again: angelic. She looks absolutely amazing.

Like the new layout?

I'm such a nerd..I could fix this page up all day..but now I'm actually going to try to get my ass to the gym..didn't go yesterday.

Another obsession


All I can think of right now is how to make this computer mine. Aww..it's beeeautiful.

It weighs three pounds. Will retail for $1799 It's even eco-friendly!!! When does it come out?

I dream of Kate


Good morning!
For a few days now I've been obsessing over Kate Bosworth. I have never before thought she was beautiful (actually thought she was very plain looking and boring) but a few days ago I just happened to see her in some pictures and honestly it's going to sound weird but I was mesmerized. The girls got angelic features and an insanely enviable wardrobe. Imagine my excitement when I saw the new Vogue last night!

How could I forget?

Oh.MY.GOD. Guess what I found out today? It's the best news in like forever...yes..just wait for it......I found that you an buy frozen edamame (my favorite snacks!) at D'agostino..Yesssssss! That means that I don't have to stop by the japanese sushi places to get those Edamamae platters anymore I can actually jt warm them up in the microwave at home at night...without having to step out in the cooold!!! Ohohohohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


woodie-love


Met up with Angelina today too over lunch..I am so in love with her dog Woodie that it's ridiculous! I really really wnat one too..but I have no time for a puppy...

See that crazy smile??? that's how much I love that sweetheart!

new amazing store alert!




Found the cutest most amazing shop today..the sales girl told me they're having a sale soon (on everything in the store) soon so I didnt get anything today but seriously..i could have bought ANYTHING they had hanging in there..LOOVED IT!

www.lfstores.com check it out..

Cheap good drinks are always welcome


It's funny how I wrote that whole passage about how pure and good I am..actually went out for drinks that same night (last night)....I just felt so bored and my room mate convinced me. I have to say though..sometimes I just love being a girl. Me and my roomie basically got all of our drinks for a total of like 35 bucks (the real worth was like 80-100 dollars each)..the bartenders in this city knows how to make us girls happy! strong good drinks..and half off! MOahhaa...Thanks guys..(I mean really though I guess it's only fair that we have advantages sometimes considering girls in this city make les than half of what guys make. so whatev.)
