Next, Barcelona?

Soooooo, if I can raise 200 Euros by next week and CSN will grant me a student loan, I will most surely soon be on my way to Barcelona, Spain!

There is a course called Spanish Language and Hospitality Management that I want to take and am excited about!! My spanish is not so great, but I have the basics, so I think I'll learn pretty fast and I do understand a great deal. I find it comforting to know that spanish is involved in the course and that I will also be learning all the details of running a hotel.

Since I'm mainly applying hotel positions this will feel like a great chance to increase my knowledge in the field and also to increase my chances of working abroad, like I've wanted to for so long!

I'm really hopeful and I think everything will be allright, if only CSN hurries up with a decision before school starts. KAMI-SAMA, BUDDAH-SAMA, DAIMO-SAMA, please PLEASE, let it all work out so that I can spend 6 glorious months in Spain and get a job after that!!!

I really really need this right now!

Halloween! part 1

Halloween is closing!

I'm going to a Halloween party next week, actually it's a club (Mirai) playing k-pop and j-pop with halloween theme, of course. Here's my problem: I have no idea what to go as?!!

If you dress up as something you get a discount off the entrance ticket. But I have no idea what to go as. The week after I'm going to have a tiny Halloween party at my place, and then I'm dressing up as Hide, former singer of X Japan! But I can't go as Hide on the Mirai party too, can I?

No that's just not good enough, lacks a certain inginuity.

Doushiyoooo???
Otoke???

Hide

Lately I've been wondering about X Japan and I'm getting curious to know their albums and their songs.
The only thing I really know about them is that they are the most famous Japanese rock band, known outside of Japan and helped shaped the world of visual kei and japanese rock to what it is today.

Hide

Everyone knows of course the story of the lead singer (and songwriter) Hide's untimely death. Hide, like Kurt Cobain and many other rockers that died before their time will always be a source of great admiration and mystery to eveyone who happens to know about X Japan.

The mystery surrounding Hide's death is also a reason why people will always be fascinated and mystified by him. Some say it was suicide, others think it was an alcohol induced mistake to relieve guitarrists aches. Either way, one thing is certain. Hide was an extraordinary man.

Hide's trademark pink hair and wild crazy haircuts still holds people's fascination. He dressed in the latest styles and still somehow manages to pull it off, even though the pictures are about 15 years old. He was beautiful and had the most expressful eyes. 

Few other J-rockers hold a candle to this beautiful legend. Except, dare I say, maybe Hyde.



kawaii hide

There are some physical similarities with Hyde that I can't deny, even their name's sound almost the same, even though their real names (Hideto) was the same, Hyde chose to use an english sounding similar name, most probably because there allready was one Hide and as to not cause confusion.

It is more than 13 years after Hide's death that I begin to appreciate and really be aware of him. Of course I had heard of him before, who hasn't? But it isn't until now that I re-discover this legend of a man, with more beauty and mystery than I can dream of. But this is a mystery that can never be solved. Some puzzles I guess will stay shrowded in darkness forever.

R.I.P Hide-sama!

Ringer

Okay so I've started to follow CW's new series Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar among others.

Sarah Michelle Gellar as twins Bridget/Siobhan

I love SMG and as soon as I found out she was starring in a new series I said to myself 'I have to watch it!' Wich actually was the day after the first episode had premiered. ^_^

SMG in a green delightful top and leather pants.

There is a gorgeous cast of men in this series that are all after her in one way or another and now that I've seen the second episode I'm starting to think that most of the women on the series are total bitches. And possibly evil? Or maybe it's just the one...or one and a half, lol.

Anyways here's two stills from episode 2

Can you tell who is who? ;P

Anyways I really like this series so far, it's a mystery all of it and every episode makes you want to see more. Damn it, now I have to wait a whole other week to see episode three! :(

Thank Google for live streaming though!

Bye~


Here is the link to episode 2 if you also want to watch it streamed live:

The Addams Family

Since the 1993 Addams Family Values (movie) was on TV today I thought 'it's been a long time since I saw the Addams Family on TV and so I thought that it would be nice if it was to become one of my regular TV series to watch.

Addams Family Values, 1993

The Addams Family is a tv sitcom that ran from 1964 to 1966. It revolves around this macabre family that take pleasure in the unusual, the painful, the morbid and the downright strange.
In the original of 1964 Carolyn Jones plays deadly beautiful Morticia, and John Astin plays eccentric and passionate Gomez Addams.

The Addams Family, Gomez & Morticia, 1964

Their family consists of cool and calculating daughter Wednesday, little rascal son Pugsley, Gomez brother Uncle Fester and the crazy grandmother who is a witch. Their servants are equally unusual and consist of giant Lurch and a severed hand called Thing.

I remember when I was a kid, I watched the cartooned Addams Family and I have always thought they were a really cool and unusual family indeed.

And of course being influenced by everything I see and hear I loved the 1991 movie The Addams Family with Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci.

I wanted to be like Wednesday played by Christina Ricci when I was a little girl. Maybe because I have always had this kind of murderous, morbid side to me?

Drivers liscence

I have decided to finally go for my driver's liscence!
There are just too many jobs out there that demand a driver's liscence so it would be foolish of me not to get it now.

So today I went with my dad to a local driver's liscence school and I found the prices were not that bad, it's just too bad I don't even have an extra job just part time, 'cause that would help me afford it in just two months time or so.

I have been looking a lot at used cars and since I don't know anything about cars I just go after what I think is a pretty car. So I found a lot of Peugot and Mercedes Benz attractive.

The Peugot 607 and 307 are really nice, I like them a lot.

Peugot 607





I want my 607 dark blue with dark brown leather interior and wooden details on the panel.
OR with a black and blue interior, that is also very pretty.

Peugot 307

The 307 is a little lighter in color, so I like the darker 607 better, but hey it's still a pretty car.

Then if I had an unlimited amount of money I would probably get a Mercedes Benz F700

Look at that beauty. This car is luxury in metal.



Just look at the interior of this car! It's insane! XD

But first things first, let's concentrate on getting a liscence.







Clarion Hotel job audition!

So today me and my friend Tina went to Chalmers to attend Clarion Hotel's job audition for their new hotel Clarion Hotel Post.

Clarion Post, the old Post Office of Göteborg.

The new hotel will be at Drottninggatan in Göteborg and the building in itself is the old Post Office of the city. It's a really beautiful building and it seems like a really nice hotel. I especially liked the pictures of the rooftop pool! The management seemed like really positive, friendly people that care about their staff and I should feel very lucky if I got a position somewhere in that hotel!

Rooftop pool wich you can see flying over the hotel!

I was nervous for 3 hours, actually 4 hours if you count the time it took to get there from my home. As soon as I left my apartment I felt all jittery and nervous. Luckily I had my T-chan there with me!

There was a show with music acts and a host who made everyone laugh and relax a little bit.
They really made an event of it, and with 1800 applicants in only one day (there were also applicants on Friday!) they had a lot going on.

I was very nervous, but as soon as I got in there and did my thing my two minutes were up really fast and they were very friendly and told me I did a good job. I think it went pretty well, so now I only have to wait for a week to see if I get called for further interviews.
