When in Bali
As promised, a couple of my memories when we were in Bali a couple of months ago. The food in Bali, the temple in Bali, the hotel in Bali, the flowers in Bali…..
I have not thought about it for a long time, but now that I am writing bout it all the memories comes flushing back. And all I want to do is book my flights back to Bali!
I had way too many pictures but here is a taste of life in Bali for you.
Now back to dinner. Ambrose is making his famous lamb wraps. Yum Yum Yum. That´s all I can say – they are so good.See you guys tomorrow. Ambrose and one of his friends are going surfing, I was planning to go with them but they are leaving about 4:30 in the morning sooo, thanks but no thanks.

Traveling to Bali
I had a rather long break from writing like this – journal, blog or whatever you like to call it. So naturally I have missed telling you guys about so much stuff that has happened.
I wont be able to go back and retell it all. However, some of the more memorable moments I will share. And I will start by the time we went traveling in Bali. Its really incredible, the nature, the food, the spa´s. Traveling to Bali is a must because of so many reasons. I am thinking its best to divide our Bali travel into sections. Otherwise it might be too much for just one entry.
I could just upload a thousands of pictures, call it “traveling to Bali” and let them speak for themselves. But I think its a little more charming to tell a story behind the pictures.
And, its a great way for me to give you guys some recommendations. If you decide you want to be traveling to Bali one day. -
Inspiring mornings and trashy afternoons
I do this all the time – staring a new routine all over. Sometimes I finish them, often I dont.
I very much enjoy the idea to have a routine. A set of rituals ( without the voodoo sound to it ), especially in the morning – it is my favorite time out out of the 24 hours we get.
So, I started a new set of morning rituals for myself haha. The bits and pieces are not exactly new, just the hardcore commitment to them. I could not find any other word then hardcore – I’s sorry..
This is one of the blessings in disguise that comes from me commuting 4 hours per day. At least I get to listen to inspiring talks from interesting people. And also watch funny videos but that’s not important. It cant all be inspiring for F-sake, its 4 damn hours !! hahah
But this one thing I have actually been really great at. To use the morning commute time for inspiration, learning new things and things that makes me progress. And the afternoon commute I dedicate to trash TV and things that just makes me laugh.
Its all about the balance. Here is one of the videos I came across this morning on YouTube
Don’t judge the name of the video ,( I did ) just listed to the content. See if you get something out of it. Or if you think this kind of stuff is not inspiring neither in your mornings nor afternoons. -
Avocado chips and crazy birds
Have mostly been running mini errands today. Had a coffee quickly and was going to the beach as it started raining…
So I thought I might as well finish some stuff. Have not been feeling great, too much in my head to deal with and i think the flu season is here. Bad combo. And all of this has damped my appetite. Got myself some avocado chips but could not stand sitting among all those people in the restaurant. So drove around, went for a walk and finally sat down to eat by the water close to my house.
I got company in the form of a scary bird . We shared my avocado chips . stared at each other for I while – he wanted more avocado and I was secretly thinking that scary bird would attach me if I stopped scaring my avocados.
And I was right, as I was leaving, the bird jumped up and followed me to my car. He probobly though there was more avocado chips in the trunk.
Jumped into the car and drove off scared and scared haha. Crazy bird!

Details
Â
Some days are not well, very exciting. Today has been one of those days for me. I slept in ( to avoid getting sick) and therefore missed my Body Pump class. Ambrose took the car to go surfing for a couple of hours so I walked until I saw a bus coming and stopped it. I hadn’t even decided if I wanted to go shopping, get breakfast or go to organize all the tasks I had on my list.
I just wanted to get out of the house for a bit. So much in my head and I am starting to resent being an over-thinker – all the detail that goes on an on in my head. Probably not even important but right not it sure does feel like it.
When I am angry over details I really not having any power over I first get frustrated and try so hard to change it. But then after a while I just become somber, at least I think that’s what its called. Its like being sad over the situation, all the details of it go round and round in your head. But you just dont care about the detail anymore. I choose to not care. Because it is just that – a choice.
You try your best to make it right but as you realize you cannot change the details, you surrender.
So after a couple of hours outside I am now home. Its raining outside, I have lighten all my Christmas lights ( Yes, I know its February). I have candles everywhere and making it cozy. Told you guys, its all in the details and you yourself choose the details.
For rest of today the details I have chosen are cozy atmosphere in my apartment, finishing the boring details left on my To-Do list. And finally a hot shower followed by marinaded butterfly chicken and Persian style salad.
Not the most exciting Saturday afternoon but I am grateful. Some days just are as they are.You know what I mean?

Starting to get a cold
I think I am starting to come down with a cold (is that correct English?)
I dont have a runny nose or sore through but my whole body is on half speed. That is the best way I can explain it. Therefore, no amazing pictures today – just one Snap chat that explains how frustrating getting a cold is.
I dont have time for this nonsense at all.Sorry guys, I am just very tired. And the weather is all cold, rain and dark. I cheer up in a moment, just need some time to relax and it is all god đŸ™‚

Dreaming of a boat
Oh my God what a looong day! I was so drained and almost wanted to sit and rest on the road while walking home from the train today. That is how tired I was.
Alot of people around me have been sick so I guess it tries to sneak up on me as well. But I refuse, already planned my tomorrows grocery list which contains pills, ginger and lemon and lots of it.
Also I was complaining alot about how extremely hot it has been for months. But now that its raining and winter is slowly approaching, dreaming of being on a boat is all that is on my mind.
This picture is just a couple of weeks ago I think. Its us with Mike, Lucinda and Caz out on their boat. Such a nice day.
I remember we tried so many places for lunch but everything was open. So we ended up having pizza on the grass. Ah, beautiful boat day – please dont be over.
I’m going to move myself and my boat dreaming to bed. Its only 8pm but sitting up is starting to feel painful. That´s how I feel like now.Sleep tight guys. xx

Lights Camera Action !
Such a fun day! Today we were shooting the commercial for Australia’s biggest morning tea. I was not planning to go since my emails were piling up. But at the last minute I jumped into a taxi and stressed the poor driver as I was already late.
Ran in to where the shooting took place, got makeup an hair quickly done and then into the “office” scene. I made it just in time before the whole lights camera action began and it was full on.
I liked the whole thing. Felt familiar – like when I was younger doing theater and a couple of the “Bullen” (Swedish TV program) mini movies as a teenager.
Just got home, had a cold shower. The set was boiling hot and I had to act like I has drinking hot coffee in the commercial screen – thought I was going to melt away at some point. Holding that damn hot mug for hours was not great!
Now I am trying Theta Binaural Beat background music while having a cup of tea. Anyone tried Theta Binaural Beat before? Its suiting, but is it as beneficial as they say?
