I'm back darlings.
Oh well oh well look who's writing again after more then a week without internet. Aloooot has happened but I'm gonna give you the short version since you never leave any comments any more...
We had a crazy kick ass night at Hotel ME after a preparty in my new friend Xavis AMAZING apartment. Loved the hotel, the people and the feeling and we danced all night long. At 7am we went to the afterparty that wakes me up every weekend in my own street Còdols but we just stayed for a few minutes before we went to sleep in a big, nice bed.
I made the seccond N.I.E. (spanish ID-number) trip of my life and this one was just as fucked up as the one we did in Palma last summer but I managed to do it all in one day. Got sent all over Barcelona before I found the right place and realize I allready have the damn number so I didn't need to go through all that fuss. Clever girl!
I got two roses on Saint Jordis day. One from my dearest flatmate Tim and one from a man on La Rambla who wants to sell me a ferret haha. He also promised me a good price hahaha.
I moved into another apartment! Couldn't stand the noice from the street, the flies, the sad people and the lack of internet one more night so I found myself a place a bit away from the centre but reeaally close to the beach and the parties. Purrrfect, big bed, big room and 5 Euros cheaper/month haha. Great!
And last but not least I went to Mallorca! I spent one night in El Arenal with my mom, brother and cousin and what a night. We watched Inter play the most disgusting soccer in world history and so they kicked Barcelona out of the Champions League for this year. I was crushed, so so sad but thank GOD Pepe and Claudio happened to be at the same restaurant as we were. The owners of Cacao, Coco Rico and Ibiza pub took me and mummy out for a swim (litterally) in Gin Tonics and shots. I was presented to Lucho, an argentinian bartender and Andrés passed by Coco Rico on his day off. Hmm, wonder why?
The day after I went up to my old home in Alcudia and here I am right now. In my ex boss' ex apartment haha. The new entertainment team is really nice and nothing much is changed. Great to see all the people again, great to eat at Hawaii, great to party at Cheers, Magic, Vamps, Twister and all the other places but most of all - great to be here on VACATION.
Now I'm gonna go down and order my special Pizza Romana con ajo at Hawaii, take a shower and get ready for tonights adventures. I'll write you again ASAP.

Amazing friends and a bad result
The museum was really cool and high tech. It was also nice to enter the locker room and see where they shower hahah. The stadium is magnificent but that I allready knew. Well, at night I went to watch the game at some bar at the Barceloneta beach with Mario, Oscar and a cool polish chick. Sadly we lost big time, 3-1 and the return game is gonna be reeeally tough but I still have faith. They can do it! Oscar left after the game but the rest of us went for a few more beers before I headed over to my lovely argentinian friends again. Oh, and do you know how nice it is to fall asleep to the sound of a guitarr? I like!
Messi, Valdés, Ibra... Naked right here hihi.
Today I had lunch with my flatmate Tiiiim at some great and really cheap pasta place really close to our place. Awesome food and of course loads of laughing with crazy Tim. I'm feeling a bit off today. I have to do so many things but I'm just not feeling it at the moment so I think I'll just take it easy and be very "mañana mañana" about it. Who's up for some BARceloning tonight? I need a beer or two...

Tiiiiiiiiiiiim hahaha...
Museum, dates and a Rendez-Vous
Tomorrow I'm going to the museum at Camp Nou, my buddy Andrea who works for FC Barcelona is giving me an invitation. I'm really looking forward to it! I also talked to F to set up our little rendez-vous for tomorrow. Will be great! Now I gotta go, I'm getting picked up in a while for a little date...
Kisses ;)
Tennis fever
1. Set up a bank account
2. Buy a BIG towel
3. Clean my room
And since Diego is still sleeping next doors I think I'll go out to do the bank and towel-parts first.
BUT the tennis is here now and all my people are arriving one after another. I'm dying to see sooo many of them but it's gonna be tough. Can't go to the stadium every day so we'll see how many I get to see. But hopefully tomorrow will be a great tennis day. Fingers crossed.
Party like a rockstar - Kick a little ass...
Whiskey, Rockstars and Guinness
Martin was the rockstar of the night after leaving us for half an hour at the hospital and returning with a nice tan and a white bracelet hahaha. We closed Shoko and left for Opium, and clever as we are we entered for free again. We were a group of about 10 persons, all great people. Weeell we partied like crazy for a few hours (I ended up drinking Whiskey on the rocks!)before Hernan gave me a ride home and I went to bed.
I woke up veeery late this afternoon but it didn't matter, it's sunday anyway. I showered and took a cab to Free Way, a restaurant where the others were. We had birthday lunch, celebrating Diego and I was presented to more nice people. Afterwards we had a coffee at some italian bar and then a Guinness at an Irish place. I was mostly laughing at Martin, how can a person possibly be so freaking hilarious?! My loooord...
I've also been on a roadtrip with my dear Dani P today. He showed me the Montjuïc area and we just drove around in his Honda Civic that I looove. Aparantly the race in Japan next week is cancelled due to the "volcanic circumstances" so he's gonna be here all week and that is very nice news! Anyway, now I neeeeeed to sleep badly because tomorrow is another long day. Kiss kiss.
Too tired to post any pics, sorry!
ShOpium
Shoko + Opium = ShOpium.
Just so that you know people.
Now - Bed.
Noche de fiesta
I'm off for some more heavy party. Tonight we celebrate Diegos b-day and I have no idea of where or how. But when Circoloco, some of BCN's best partyplaces and hopefully some professional sportsmen are included in the mix it couldn't be anything but great. Peace and love and rock on people!
Talented friends
I must say I have some talented friends! This is Nicos song I was alone. You just gotta love the video and the rythm of the song. Run run run run run to the trees...
Opium and talented boys
Later on we moved on to Opium Mar, a club by the beach. We passed by Shoko where Diego works first but it was closed so we went directly to Opium. A little bit of this and a little bit of that and suddenly we were inside and I really liked it. Very much like Ambassadeur in many ways so I felt at home. And well we partied until they closed almost and were home around six. Very very good night and I just crashed in bed.
And here I am now, awake and happy. Just got an email from my dearest JPM who told me he's in Barcelona now and gave me his spanish number. Was aaages since I saw the guy and I'm dying to see that enormous smile again. This week is promising people!
Clubbing BCN
Having a slize of pizza with Diego. Soon we're off to a friend of his (argentinian and hot according to D...) for some preparty and theeen we're clubbing BCN. Have a nice friday night people!
Stoopid volcanic eruption!
By the way I have to go BACK to Ikea. Noooo!! I bought two pair of sheets but nothing for the duvet! Clever clever girl. But my room looks muuuch nicer now. I moved the bed a bit and got myself alot more space. Will post some pics later on, now I'll go for breakfast at that cool place "in the woods".
♥
Secret lover and IKEA
Pheew, finally I'm home after a lot of running around. Had breakkie at the market as I said before and then I went shopping some necessary things. After that I passed by a Cervezeria where this 70+ waiter just came out and told me I am the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and when I told him I'm from Sweden he started singing Små Grodorna and invited me for a coffee. He also asked if he could be my secret lover and I said that of course he could! Hahah and now I have free coffee there whenever I want. Great!
After that Leon showed me the way to el Arco de Triunfo where Manuel met me and we took the metro and a bus to IKEA. He bought a few things and I bought half the store. Nah, just some sheets, some fabrics to cover up my "closet" and some Kaviar and Ballerina cookies haha. And of course we had the traditional hot-dog when we where finally done. The way back was somehow much shorter, I think we took an unnecessary roundtrip on our way there haha...
Well now I'm home and I'll start getting my room in order in a minute.
La Fianna and Espit Chupitos
I woke up a while ago feeling great! Had a good night yesterday. First Barcelona won 3-0 and we watched the game at some bar with Mario, his friend Henry and a swedish girl. Afterwards me, Tiiiim, Diego and his two argentinian friends Pesta and Matu went to a really really cool place called La Fianna. Such a nice bar with GREAT food and pretty cheap! We had some patatas bravas, quesadillas and the best Nachos I've ever tasted. And beers of course! We chilled there for a while and once again I realized how much I love argentinian people. So friendly and helpful, giving me advices and great ideas.
Pesta and Matu were in a party mood but the rest of us decided to go home around two. But we made a short pit-stop at Espit Chupitos where I had a Polla dura (meaning a hard c*ck) which was nothing compared to the "Monica Levinsky" some swedish chicks were having right next to us. Jesus, that's the reason why I left Sweden. Such embarrassing, cheap ass chicks. Uhh...
Today as I said I feel great. Think I might make a little trip to IKEA and get the personal touch for my room. Later on I'll show you pictures of the apartment. But first I'll have a fresh juice at the market. Later peeps!
New flatmates
Today I had a coffee with Manu at a super cool place that I don't remember the name of. But it was like entering the woods with trees and water, really cool and good coffee. Was great to see Manu again and we took a short trip along the Rambla before he had to head home and I met Diego by coincidence. We had a fresh coco-strawberry juice at the Boqueria market and went looking for shoes in some boutiques. We had lunch at a small but cool place where his friend works before heading back home.
Here I kicked his ass in a small DJ-battle and later on we'll meet up with Mario and some guys to watch Barcelona - Deportivo at some bar. I'll write you later ♥
Honey I'm hooome
By the way this song makes me wanna DANCE!
Moving in
Hello hello dear people! How nice to see that so many of you are following my crazy life down here. I woke up way too early the first time since the walls at this hotel are sooo thin you can hear everything. Kind of annoying but I snoozed for a few more hours and after a nice (trying to be positive here) breakfast at the bar across the street I feel like a brand new miss Castells.
Yesterday I had some tapas for dinner and then I went to this bar El Rabipelao where my new flatmate Messi works. He made me a very very strong "Guarrapita" which was very needed after a long day. I laughed a lot, there are a whole bunch of wack people in this city and I realize how important it is to be really careful around here. Now I'm gonna get my shit together here and then grab a cab over to my new home. Man it feels weird to say that...
Later peeps!
Sorry for the lack of pics by the way, I'll change that, I promise!
Central vs. Camp Nou?
I've also seen one very close to lovely Camp Nou which is great but it's about 20 minutes from the city center which is not that great. But it was a big and nice flat where three girls are living. The best thing about it is the acces to two nice swiming pools but the bedroom was small and boring. So now it's really between those two I guess and I think I've made up my mind allready...
I'm starting to feel good now.
I just might have a beer or two tonight?
Oh and by the way - this poster is in the middle of la Rambla but in size ENORMOUS and the X is muuch smaller. I drool everytime I pass by. Sexy ass Fernando Verdasco for CC.
How much MY ASS
YUCK! Thank god the owner showed up before I kicked the dirty old mans butt. And well, the room didn't smell too good at all, the rest of the apartment were kind of dirty and there were too many people living there. Cheap but not nice at all. But I just got a call from an argentinian guy in Barrio Gótico and he wants to see me ASAP soo, as Simon (not Paul Simon this time but Simon Horowitz) would have said:
I'm ghost...
Wish me luck!
Flat hunt and heavy bags
The trip however went fine. I am one skilled traveler or maybe just a lucky bastard but the woman behind the check in desk didn't say a word about my 26 TWENTY SIX kilos. That's six kilos too much people. But nono, no problems. Well finally at the hotel I just put my face on and ran downtown to grab something to eat and then I started my flat hunt.
So far I've seen one flat. A very friendly guy lives there and the room I might rent belongs to a 21 year old girl from Stockholm right now and no, it's not me. Yet. Now I'm gonna see another one that I think I might be even more interested in actually. It's even closer to la Rambla, meaning not so much walking around the kinda scary Raval area. Gotta run now, smell ya later!
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way.
I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way...
See you guys in Barcelona ♥
Adios Estocolmo - Hola Barcelona
Tomorrow I'm moving to Barcelona. I've wanted to leave Sweden now for many many years and since I'm half Spanish, what better place to live than Barcelona is there? So what's my plan then? To be honest I don't really have a plan. I'm a very spontanious person who loves to travel and meet new people and my motto is: everything is gonna be allright.
So tomorrow I'll be in Bcn around noon and then I'll start my flat-hunt. I think I'll start by renting a room in some nice, central flat and then when I have a job and my life a bit more sorted out I'll try to find my own place. When it comes to jobs I'm sure I can get something sooo easily. There are millions of jobs available in bars, restaurants, hotels and so on. The only problem is me - I can be quite picky when it comes to jobs but I have to start somewhere.
I also have a few friends living in the city which is great. People to hang with, good contacts or a shoulder to cry on. Well, now you know what my preliminary plan is at least and I really hope you will join me on my crazy adventures in a completely new city. Here we GO!
Loads
El Clásico and a Rendez-Vous...
But that is not the only great thing that happened tonight. I managed to set up a small rendez-vous in Barcelona soon. Can't believe how long it was since last time I grabbed those curls in pleasure and soon it'll happen again. And this time we both know the rules and there are absolutely no strings attached. Perfecto!
Eeehhhh... Eeeeehhhhhh... Hahahaha!
Young and careless
Those young and careless days...
Suitcase chase
Best friends
Back from a few nice hours with Feli over a cup of tea. How I love that girl, she's so cool, fun and inspiering. It's always so hard to say goodbye to her and we've done it a few times now. When she left for a year in Denmark, when I left for seven months in Mallorca and now when I leave... forever? But at the same time it was easier since we know how close we actually are, it's just a short flight and voilá, together again!
Just had some dinner with daddy and soon I'm off for the city again, this time to meet up with Mirella and Elinor to say goodbye to them aswell. Hate goodbyes but what can you do. These girls are my best friends after all ♥
Tea time
Off for some tea (yes Simon, tea not coffee!) with my princess Felicia.
Smell ya later!
Not so good morning

Coffee with Cadring
Sleeping on my back
Today I have a date with miss Cadring in Kungsan. She's moving to Barcelona in a few months aswell and I haven't seen her for aaaages (if we don't count that night at Undici a few weeks ago) so it's gonna be great to catch up and gossip a bit. But first - Shower!
Later darlings.
Oh and by the way! How do you guys sleep??
Sant Jordi
Capri
Pizza Capriiii I'm coming for you...
Closer than Skåne
Just got back home. Have been drinking lattes at Ella's place for a few hours, escaping my ToDo-list. I'm so sad to leave all my amazing friends here in Stockholm, it hurts like crazy. But I've wanted this for so many years now that I can't give up the dream even though it's really tough sometimes. And Barcelona is only 4 hours away, it's freaking closer than Skåne haha.
Champions League final - Here I come!
If you're not into soccer you probably don't realize how big this is but it is totally crazy and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. So may 22nd you know where to find me darlings - at Santiago Bernabeu stadium Madrid.
Buongiorno!
I didn't do very much yesterday which means I have to do LOADS today. I move in less then a week to Barcelona and I'm taking it waayy too chill for my own good. But at least I've found myself a few potential apartments to stay in, let's just pray that they will be available until I get there and can take a better look at them. Think I'll start by renting a room somewhere until I know if I'll study, work or maybe both.
I found one room really cheap and close to La Rambla where I reeaaally want to live but also another room a bit outside the very center (but closer to Camp Nou haha). There I'd be living with three other girls and aparantly they have a swiming pool, which would be peeerfect since the beach is pretty far away. Well, we'll see what I get in the end. Now I'm gonna make myself some breakkie and get going. But I have one question for you guys:
Where would you go if you had to move abroad?
Barcelona through to semis
Rosetta Stone
Ahh I bought something so cool in Thailand! It's called Rosetta Stone and it's a program to learn languages. I have sooo many cool languages to choose from and right now I'm trying some Latin.
Puella et canis.
Girl and dog.
Femina sub mensa.
Woman under table.
Hahah, I love Latin. Maybe I should write my blog in Latin instead?
Jay-Z in the shower
Hahaha why?!
Swedish breakfast
I woke up a while ago and right now I'm having a Skagen/Meatball-sandwich. Two of the best things about Sweden on the same sandwich, could a breakfast it get any better? Yes it could, with some tea from Kränku, which is exactly what I'm drinking at the moment.
Today I will keep on searching for apartments in Barcelona and continue cleaning my room and all that crap that needs to be done. By the way I had a crazy dream tonight and it involved a very famous rap-artist. Can you maybe guess who? I'll tell you about it later on, my tea is getting cold now!
Love.
Words
"You are beautiful, you travel all over the world among famous people and normal people being whoever you want to be. But you are still the same girl who answered my smiles at the beginning, with both feet on earth and the warmest personality I know"
Thank you so much J! No matter how unrealistic things may seem sometimes you truly are one of those people that will always have a safe little place inside my heart. I love you!
12/4 Hejdå Stockholm - Hola Barcelona
Anyway, the reason why I've been so busy today is that yesterday I booked THE ticket. Exactly one week from now I'm moving to Barcelona and I don't even have a place to live yet so Imagine all the things I need to sort out before that date! I can't believe I'm so close now. I've dreamt of leaving this country for so many years and now it's actually happening!
Love / Castells.
Note my not so amused face. Friday night at Sturecompagniet.
Loooong update
We decided to stay in a bungalow since the huts were a bit too "ghetto fab" for us haha. So, Silver Sand it was. We grabbed the last hours of sun before we took a little nap and got ready for dinner. We ate at a small place where they probably put more effort into the awesome reggae music than the food but it was great anyway. After that we watched some fire shows, went for the next bite to eat (since someone wasn't too happy about his food) and had some Piña Coladas and Singhas. We got some company aswell! Five or six adooooorable puppies came to play with us. Of course I couldn't stop myself from cuddeling with those gorgeous little things. I also kicked someones ass in snooker, took some random pictures and had the worst banana-chocolate pancace ever before we went to bed. Amazing day!
The morning after I had breakkie alone first on the beach. Some fresh fruit and the sound of the waves made the perfect start of another perfect day. We spent a few hours on the beach before it was time to move back home. And well that day we did nothing much. I went for another great Thai massage, a nice italian dinner and some packing because the next morning we went to Bangkok to spend the day before my flight should leave at night. Maaan was it hot in that city haha! Thank god I spent the whole day inside Siam Paragon and MBK, two enooormous shopping malls where I spent a shitload of money. I fell in love with a Blackberry sooo I just had to have it. So now I'm a proud owner of a Blackberry Bold 9700.
Well then it was time for some goodbyes but it was ok. I'm used to goodbyes after all this travelling and I know we'll see eachother soon again. I took a short trip to the Lumpini night bazar aswell before heading back to the hotel where I'd left my bags and then I took a cab to the airport. The trip was okey, got a tiny bit delayed but I slept most of the flight until all the kids started screaming but at 8am I was safe back at Arlanda airport and so happy that I got to see all this. Thank you so much!
Weeeell back home I've been hanging out with Felicia and Elinor and yesterday we went for a little party party at Sturecompagniet. If I tell you I felt like a monkey at the zoo it's not even close to how much people stared. Such stupid "compliments" about my dress, my legs, my back, my hair, my ass, my everything. Jeeez people, get a grip! And people are complaining about the people at Amba?! Pfff, this was ten times worse. But I had fun anyway as always around Feli.
Today I'm going for easter dinner at grandma's so I won't be back until tomorrow but I have alot more exciting stuff to tell you about so stay tuned! Sorry for this bible I just wrote, I'll keep it shorter next time. XXX
