Jasmin
If you are incredibly fortunate, in your life you will have one person that is beyond a blessing. There mere existences fills your whole body and mind with joy and gratitude. I must have done something right because I have two of those people. Hanie & Jasmin. And today is one of those beautiful souls birthday – Jasmin.
I am sitting here really trying my best to describe what this little girl means to me and its easy but also somehow difficult.
I mean how do one put into words the meaning and impact she had in my life?
A more beautiful human, inside and out does not exist. So many times, countless times you have been there for me. Making everything better just by excising.We call her “the little grandmother” hahaha. My mom came up with that name because all Jasmin does is worry about us. Nobody tells her anything anymore because if we give her any information on whats going on in our lives, she lies awake at nigh thinking about us. who does that!? Damn little Granny hahah 🙂
I wish you the best this life can offer. You deserve it!
Happy birthday my beautiful little sister.
Thank you for being born.

pw in the night
Last night Ambrose had to do some overtime but we still felt like going our for a power-walk even though it was getting late and looked as it was going to rain. Such a pretty city. Liking Sydney more and more everyday actually.
We definitely need to do these walks more often.Now just one more episode of Vampire Diaries and Im off to my acting classes 🙂 Luckily Ambrose is picking me up after the class for dinner in Pyrmont. Yes!

I have always loved trying new things. I am open for suggestions on new products, especially when it’s organic, all natural stuff we are talking about. I believe different things works for different people and we all go true stages in our lives when different things are suitable for us, for that particulate period of our lives.
On myself, I have noticed a slight change ever since I have come to Australia this time. ( I have been back and forth countless times it seems! )This time’s challenges has been;
– being away from my family and friends. This has had an tremendous negative influence on me because I am used to being surrounded by these people, day and night.
-not working. One of the requirements of applying for de facto partner visa is that I am not allowed to work nor study in Australia. I am used to be busy, like all the time. My last work at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden before my neck injury was beyond hectic. The entire hospital were under a complete “makeover” and I was part of the coordinator team, that meant stress, chaos and overtime.
– Unknown in regard to Visa. It has taken alot from both me and Ambrose to collect, organize and send in every evidence they Australian Immigration requires. The stress of that is one thing. Now we are in a stage where they are asking us to just wait….for perhaps up to 2 years….just waiting. That uncertain waiting alone is a whole chapter of stress on its own hahah.
Going from a busy life filled with daily activities and the support and laughter from family and friends to well, waking up everyday knowing you have nothing really to do, and you have nobody to do nothing with. That my friends is not ideal 🙂
The reson for this veeerrryyyy lllooonnngggg entry is that I have been trying different things to make my less stressed. One thing I am currently trying are Chinese Herbs. I got these 2 things from a friend; Karli who is into these things. I would never use just medicine but these are all natural, flowers, herbs and root mixes so I thought I give it a try.
I am also trying to eat better. Since I think I feel better without gluten I am having these kinds of breakfast; egg, smoked salmon, avocado and lots of greens. Green tea and smoothies from frozen berries and almond milk is also one of my favorite things right now. I can mix in the Chinese herbs into the smoothie and kind of get away from the nasty taste of it that way.

Baby Harley’s Confirmation
Trying a couple of times to take a picture without Kappa in it. Impossible…
Monday morning has arrived and I am spending my day at home organizing stuff I have put on hold way loo long now. Just made a smoothie with mango, frozen berries, unsweetened almond milk and some Chinese powder Karli gave me that is suppose to be great for, well alot of stuff haha. It taste like shit but I’m gonna stick to it and see what happens.
Here are a rain of pictures from Sunday. It was little Harley’s confirmation and we were suppose to be at the church 11:30 but Ambrose was such a mess from the engagement party the day before so we run in to the church JUST when its over! I’m guessing we were going to miss the entire day if it wasn’t for Karli. She took care of the gift,took an Uber to ours and practically forced Ambrose out of bed.
And I am glad we went, true most of us were like zombies from the Saturdays celebrations BUT when somebody has a baby and invites you to celebrate, you go and respect that. End of story.
After a couple of hours we should have gone home and chill but instead we somehow ended up at Bart & Karli’s in Bronte for a bbq. Maybe not the best idea thinking of how bad Ambrose felt haha. I make him some nice food and maybe get a movie so he can rest tonight, poor Bambi 🙂By the way, came over this Tony Robbin’s “priming morning” video on YouTube this morning. I tried it out and I loved it. Will see if I can find it again and I put it up here. Now we are going to get some groceries, there seems to be an echo in our fridge.

Kelly & Tiago’s engagement party
Saturday night we had Kelly & Tiago’s engagement party. It was such a great night, even though it rained, the venue, the atmosphere, food, service, it was all really enjoyable. And I think everyone would agree. The wedding is not until next year but Im sure it will be great. After the engagement we got back to our area, went to The Rag and Femish or whatever the place is called, hoping to continue drinking and sing karaoke but the list was already full so we went back to ours. Natalia, Ambrose, John and Kappa broke in tho the pool for a swim at 1 in the morning and I was scared of getting caught so I waited like a scared mouse by the elevators. So stupid that the pool in our building have all these restrictions.

BBq in bronte
Before I asked them to look their best. Everyone is involved in their own stuff
haha such forced posed group
Its almost 01:00 and we are showered and about to go to bed but thought I get in here and say hi (to jaz:) )
Ambrose took today off so we woke up and went to Bronti for some swim and some surfing. Had some lunch at Bart’s at his apartment afterwards, he had furniture getting delivered so we were stuck inside waiting for the guy to come. When he finally got his things delivered we all went to snorkel at Clovelly beach. I was thinking today that I’m actually kind of proud of myself for not being scared of snorkeling anymore! Well I still don’t want to see a giant octopus or a sea snake and things like that but like today, I saw a big Groper fish and I loved it, instead of being scared I followed it which would never happened before. I guess I am around Ambrose so much, a person who is not really afraid of any of these things, so I must have adapt.
We ended today with a bbq at Karli and Bart’s place.

Pyrmont class
Just came back from my acting class. The best boyfriend in the world drove me there, and sat and waited for me until almost 9pm. Today we began setting up the stage and “acting out” whereas before we only read our lines from the script around a table. Of course I am beyond excited, especially since I had a shitty day. such a nice ending to my day.
We found a little Thai place in Pyrmont, just across the acting place so we shared lemongrass chicken stir-fry and Laksa. Very very nice and now we are in bed about to watch Planet Earth 2! Love it!
Nighty night everyone:)
