So I finally finished the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath….. I don’t even know what to say, I had such difficulties even getting started with this book.  By the time I was halfway through with it, I still h...

February blues...

I can breathe out again, the overly-long Stockholm post has finally been written up and posted. It took me much longer than I thought it would… LOOK OUT, rant ahead. I’ve been so caught up with every...

Stockholm weekend

I’ve been so tired and busy since I came back from Stockholm so I haven’t had the energy or time to recap my latest weekend shenanigans, but I’ll type until I eventually fall asleep here at my keyboa...

Good morning! I’ve gotten 3 hours of sleep and I’ve just gulped down two cheese buns and some tea for breakfast here at the conference. I’m staying at Sofia’s place for the weekend, where it’s nice a...

Get strong...

I tried out a new class at the gym today, known as NTC Get Strong. The choreography was developed by Nike, and is part of Nike Training Club.  Saying that my butt has been really sore ever since I le...

Socially-acceptab le-to-eat-chocola te-and-cry-day!

I’m all for positivity and love and spreading joy and all that pink fluffy crap. But there’s just something of a thorn with Valentine’s Day. Apart from it being an eyesore when running around town…He...

Our flaws and imperfections

“My legs are too short, my arms are too long, my breasts are too small, my butt is too big, my nose is too high, my lips are too thin, my hair is just awful…” Why do we have to keep beating ourselves...

A night of Piggie

Good morning, Good morning indeed. I’ve just woken up and my body is aching all over from yesterday’s 10 AM bodypump. I don’t know why my body still aches from bodypump, it’s not like I’ve increased ...

Back in time...

Before going to bed, I went back in time to see what went on two years ago today, to a much younger Ashley.  [Blog post from Feb 8th 2010] I can’t stop laughing, for so many reasons.  How times chang...

A trip to faraway Stockholm-land... ?

Today has been a tipsy-turvy day.  I woke up, got to Lund for a lunch meeting with D-Chip, got on the bus to get back to Malmo. Initially planning on going to the library to study until it was time f...

Taking walks in the cold...

I write this, wrapped in my warm fuzzy blanket I got the other week. It’s such a life-saver these cold days. School wasn’t too intense today, and I left at 2:30 PM. I spontaneously met up with Piggie...

In with the new, out with the old!

I’m so tired. After being with Piggie for most of the day, Friday- I went straight to the gym for the usual bodybalance and bodypump classes. After that, I spent a few hours playing Team Fortress 2, ...

I’m currently at the public library with my dearest Piggie pie.  I overslept for my math seminar, which was the only thing I had on the agenda today [typical, isn’t it?], and rolled out of bed at aro...

Reality vs The Sims vs ...?

I’m feeling a little light-headed at the moment. That may be blamed on the icy winds that try to pierce through our clothes and skin, chilling us down to the bone every since second we spend outdoors...

I’ve started reading Can you keep a Secret, by Sophie Kinsella. I find her books entertaining enough and the storylines are usually pretty bizarre. Besides which, my brain needed a break from fantasi...

Ouchie

Yesterday, I dragged Sofia with me to the gym. I brought her in as a guest and she got to tag along on sh’bam and bodypump. I pushed myself beyond any limits and came home with aching muscles, wobbly...

First world problems...Becaus e we take the world for granted.

I’ve been so bi-polar today, I almost caught myself by surprise, and that says quite a lot. Being sleep-deprived and stressed does not help one attain a stable mentality, so I discovered.  I was real...

I finished the last book of the Hunger Games trilogy last night.  I had mixed feelings about the ending, but I guess it worked. The last line was a good one though…. And I don’t dare to say too much ...

I forgot to mention that I’m currently at another Geekend, but a little larger this time round. I think we were around 40 people the last time, now we’re about 150- and it isn’t just computer science...

Peace of mind

Here I am, bright and early…Well 9 AM isn’t that early I guess… I’m in the newly-renovated part of our building, and I can’t express [nerd-alert] how much I love being in here. It’s quiet for the mos...

Pushing on...

My plans went a little askew anyway.  I ended up waking up at 6:30 on Tuesday morning, giving me 5 minutes to eat breakfast, pack my bag and drive to the gym. Needless to say, I didn’t go- and ended ...

Post-ranting

Now that I’m over that little rant I had going on earlier… I overslept by an entire hour this morning, which is of course, never a good thing. [I seriously need a new alarm clock, the radio is NOT en...

January issues...

People can be so aggressive these days.  Either I’ve been out of Malmo for too long, like not being in town too often anymore as I spend the majority of my waking time in Lund… But coming back always...
