This movie is so beautiful. I love French movies, French actors, their sense, their pronounciation, the emotions... it's beautiful. And Yann Tiersen's Soundtrack to Amelie is a pure joy!

want it...

I really want this jacket from HM! Why do I have 0,- on my account?!?


Labels:

Nelly Furtado

Ok I do love her music, but seriously.... seriously! She has the ugliest facial expression when she poses for the cameras!



Haha! I'm sorry! But if a woman is that beautiful and succesful can't she at least spend 10 min infront of the mirror before she leaves home to see if the "pose" really works?

good night

I've always been a fan of French electro/pop band Air! I love their smooth music and their new album "Pocket Symphony" keeps their smooth and sleepy sound. Perfect to fall asleep and slumber to...

As long as I'm fine...

Yesterday I saw Blood Diamond (click for trailer) with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly. It was an absolutely moving picture and a reminder of something that I too often forget: How lucky I am being born on this continent!
It also reminded me of how actively we in the Western World keep suppressing third world countries. Just as with the diamonds in this movie, the western world keeps taking advantage of resources of other countries. I know that at least in Sweden farmers sometimes burn the seeds and harvest in order to keep the prices high! How is it even thinkable when we know how people suffer in our world?


Here are some stats about children and poverty:
-In the last decade, more than 2 million children have died as a direct result of armed conflict
-More than 300,000 child soldiers are exploited in armed conflicts in over 30 countries around the world
-2 million children are believed to be exploited through the commercial sex trade
-Approximately 246 million children work
-171 million children work in hazardous conditions

The movie also addressed the issue of child soldiers.

H&M


I didn't think Madonna's latest collection for HM was anything special, just like the last colalboration they did... but I found one thing I liked from her collection... and since it is HM I couldn't help finding a couple of things more.

Self-affirmation

Lining shelves in every bookstore we find books on self-esteem, self-affirmation, autonomy, and independence. At some point, we must stop and ask ourselves; Why do we care so much? Why are we so preoccupied with human worth?

Perhaps our obsession with self-esteem is nothing more than a massive worldwide defense mechanism used to protect us from what we all instinctively know - that we are sinners living in a world of sin! We have become so familiar with the defence mechanism that the alternative of admitting sin seems dismal and depressing. But could it be that we have it all backwards? Could it be that true freedom comes only after we have acknowledged our problem?

In religion we can experience grace despite our sinful nature. But today the defence mechanism - self-affirmation - has taken the place of religion. We now believe and stand up for ourselves and excuses even the worst behaviour. Are excuses as: natural instinct really valid for a human being?

I am not saying that self-esteem is a negative!

I just wish that I also could let go of trying to keep it all together always and humbly realise that I am after all just human - nothing more, nothing less


1 John 1:8-9
"If we say that we have no sin, we decieve ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

Träning

På gymmet där jag och Andreas går är det en personlig tränare som alltid springer typ 20 km/h i säkert en timme och då tar hon alltid av sig till typ mini-shorts och sporttop! ="How-to-make-everyone-else-at-the-gym-look-like-fat-cows-and-it-works"

Nu duschar jag oftast hemma men innan duschade o bytte jag om på gymmet och då brukade hon ibland vara i omklädningsrummet. Hon svansade alltid runt naken hela tiden. Stod o torkade håret HELT NAKEN! Nu kanske det låter som att jag är rädd för nakenhet, men det handlar mest om att man blir VÄLDIGT medveten om hur man själv ser ut!

När man köpte medlemskap på gymmet så ingick det en sportmassage, en personlig tränare (1 gång) o lite annat roligt. Har inte använt det än, men nu sitter jag o tänker på att låta Naken-Lotta ge mig lite ideer till Beach 2007!

Mina favorit låtar när jag ska träna/svettas:
1. The Bodyrockers - I Like The Way You Move
2. Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah
3. Ilona - Un Monde Parfait
4. Bellini - Samba de Janeiro
5. Benny Banassi - Satisfaction
6. Eric Prydz - Call On Me
7. Missy Elliott - 4 My People
8. Paffendorf - Where Are You
9. Groove Coverage - Holy Virgin
10. Alice DJ - Back In My Life

Ja där ser man! Man märker på sin musikstil hur gammal man är!

eng: Just a short story about one of the instructors at our gym, who knows ="How-to-make-everyone-else-at-the-gym-look-like-fat-cows" =) And then a list of the music that I enjoy working out to!
