The Month Of April 2009...

...has been filled with plenty of stuff.
Yet I feel a sense of empty-ness, I haven't achieved anything spectacular in a long time. Or well, I've started several things, and failed in some, but some others are still in progress...
The Sun is exclerating its heat on the Scandinavian atmosphere which gives me an excuse to ditch my important tasks, procrastinate and just do absolutely nothing.
Maybe its been awhile since I've seen any results in all aspects of my life.
My Life ain't fluctuating enough, Stagnant is the only word available for description.
Not very healthy for one in the twenties.

Road Trip Down Southern Sweden (Ended up in DENMARK!)

Ever come across situations where you and your friends think of awesome things to do but never really plan for it and make them happen? Well, this roadtrip was one of them. But Suddenly, we decided - this weekend it is! Got a car, packed and just left. No plans and no idea where to go, we just had the thought of going somewhere warmer! South of Sweden it was.. but somehow we ended up in Denmark! Crossing the bridge with a car is freaking expensive! But worth it if you're 5 people travelling together! We (I mean only 1 dude had a valid drivers) drove down the E4 freeway (busiest freeway from south Sweden to Stockholm) and hit some lakes and candy town. Tried to find a spot by the beach to camp out but it was too cold and the beach was kinda unpleasant. So, what happened? We ended up in some dudes meadow! Sharing the evening with forrest rabbits and other weird animals... Countryside hospitality was as expected, people are such sweethearts. Anyways, Day 2 we packed and left.. again to no where but somehow i probably put my finger in a cookie jar and said.. yeah lets go to Denmark, we can camp in the country at L* parents backyard! And so, we did. Her parents are a wonderful couple. Made us dinner and provided us with breakfast and food for the road! Day 3, approximately a 6 hour 45 mins drive back to Stockholm city. Took us about 8 hours due to pit stops! (THANKS JOEL for driving all the way!!!) Anyways.. all in all... a great weekend. When i am not so lazy i will upload pictures of Swedish countryside during the spring. =)

Signing out... Me.

A poem contructed in the Kitchen of Skrapan - To all the people who matters to me.

Eternal Mystery Unravel

Clarity of I
May not meet the eye
For we co-exist
In this place we live

For every second we dwell
This eternal mystery we unravel
Infinity as it may seem
Yet we casually unearth natures means

Exsistence is what we believe
As a wanderer pauses to reminisce
Clouded by the sound of her thoughts
Everything else moves twice the speed of a clock

There a lonely soul
Encircled by the icey cold
Transported through time
To a place that is only mine

As life start to unravel from a corner
Deeply honoured by her fate in this hour
The good companions she seek
she has gradually meet

With every moment that passes
And adventures with good causes
Over coming the cycle of riddles
A comfort she is pleased to share.

Feeling: Tired from the lack of Sleep. And guilty for not updating this site more often.

6th March 2009 - In the middle of the night (morning)

While standing at a good friend's balcony getting some fresh air:

Clouded by the sound of my own thoughts,

Sometimes we just forget to notice our surroundings.

The sound of moving leaves,

The sound of distant cars travelling on a faraway freeway,

The sound of our own footsteps and the sound of our own clothes rubbing against each other.

We do forget to feel the light breeze that gentle brushes across our face and the tinkles of the cold wind that steeps through every strand of our own hair.

We have stopped to look up in the skies and watch the moving clouds, notice what is on the top of a building that we so often pass by.

We hardly stop to smell the scent of wet mud and whithered trees.

So, the next time you catch yourself caught up in the noise of your own thoughts, Just stop. Listen, Feel and Smell... A very refreshing feeling will flood into your body, that I can assure you.

Longing for a nice summer day; T-shirt, shorts and slippers. I'm still facinated by the snow and slippery floors of Stockholm, Sweden, but I must admit, that i am sick of wearing way too many layers of clothes. Additionally, I have this strong urge to hop on a plane and start travelling again. Place of choice dont nessecery need to warm but I'd like change of scenery and a nice fresh breather.
