You know how you have a couple of hundred friends on Facebook, but maybe only a handful in real life? I look at the number of friends I have on Facebook and wonder how I sometimes can feel like I have no friends at all. Like everyone is so far away and how rarely I get a chance to even talk to them.
And then there’s the group of people I’ve only met a couple of times, I might have worked with them in the past. Maybe we only met once at a party that was so fabuluos one of us decided we should add eachother on Facebook after that, just to keep in touch. But then we never see eachother again, we never write eachother and decide to go for coffee, we just see eachothers status updates and wonder what the other means by it.
Today I saw a guy at work that reminded me of an old co-worker of mine. Someone who, after we had both moved on to new jobs and rarely kept in touch, was a support for me completely out of the blue one day when I was feeling down. I decided to send him a text message today and see how he is doing. Because it’s important to keep in touch with friends, even if we’ve only met them a few times and hate that there’s sometimes and awkward silence when we bump into them.
Because sometimes, a simple yet unexpected “hello” can brighten up anyone’s day. And that’s more than enough to convince me.

Oh my gawd you guys. We still haven’t got Lula or Vogue (US) to work! Things are gonna get crazy if we don’t get the magazine soon. Fashion savvy girls and guys are about to whip out their stiletto heels and manbags and start a fight if the September issue of Vogue doesn’t land on Swedish ground soon!
We get about fifteen people a day asking us if we’ve got Vogue (US) september issue yet. All we can do is smile and let them know we’re just as eager to get it. There’s going to be a stampede when it finally does arrive! When my colleague Linda got in to work today the first thing she asked was if we got Vogue and Lula. She dropped her jaw when I gave her the grim news.
We did, however, get three other exciting magazines today. September seems to be the month of multiple magazine covers. POP, Vogue (IT) and Tush all arrived with double, tripple and quadrouple covers! I am definitely putting aside a copy of POP for myself before they all dissapear, it’s a popular issue featuring the mega sensation Tavi! I’m leaning towards the blue cover. I’m also kind of tempted to get Vogue (IT) too, it’s a monster issue – THREE magazines in one. Those babies are heavy!
Anyway, I’ve been having some bad headaches the past couple of days and I’m coming down with a cold – but I’m hanging in there. Hoping the cold won’t develop any further and will just simmer down and dissapear.
Right, time to chillax for a bit I’d say.

The plans for the day. I’m heading in to school this morning to register for my class in French. I’m really excited to start my studies! I’ll be taking a course in French and a course in ethnology about clothing and identity. The latter course sounds very interesting and it starts on Monday! My first French class is in the beginning of September.
This afternoon I might stop by a photo and video store to check out some cameras. I’m going to get a new camera (haven’t decided which one yet though) and I want to try to get it this week because there’s a lot of fun stuff going on this week (parties and events) so I want to have a good camera to document it all (so that I can show you guys)!
This evening I’m interviewing a very famous and very funny comedian. Can’t tell you who yet, because it’s for the upcoming issue of the magazine I work for. It’s all secret until the issue is published.
What are your plans for the day?

This spring Monki (the sister-brand to Weekday/Cheap Monday) will be releasing their first sunglass collection! The collection consists of five different styles in three colors each and every pair costs 200 SEK. Fabulous!

Remember that military jacket I bought at Beyond Retro over the holidays? I was feeling a little bit unsure about whether or not is was a keeper. Now, at second thought, I think it was.

After discovering how much I love Pomelo I got to thinking about other fruits I want to try that I have only tasted once or twice before. I’ve been excited to try pomegranate again so on my walk home from work today I took a chance and stopped by one of the little fruit shops and was lucky enough to find pomegranate! And not only that, I also found gorgeous big seedless grapes, which is another thing I have been looking for!
A cute little pomegranate and seedless (yay!) grapes! 
Getting all those little seeds out of the pomegranate took time. It was definitely worth the effort though, the pomegranate was yummy and it’s full of antioxidants too which is an extra plus. And the grapes are the best I’ve had in a long, long time!
Okay, slightly off topic, but have you guys tasted the fruit Pomelo (or Shaddock as it is apparently called in english)?
I first bought it for fun in Sweden a couple of months ago but my roomate has been eating them a lot and reintroduced me to them. She was peeling it in a different way than I did and seemed to be more experienced with said fruit. She let me try it and it tasted much better than I remember. So I stopped by the grocery store and got myself one, and now I’m addicted! It’s wonderful! I fill a bowl with chunks of Pomelo and eat it like candy!

Pomelo for lunch or snack today, again!
My roomates left this afternoon to go home for Christmas. They live in Norway so we can relate to eachother a lot. We’re all in the same boat somehow. We all miss the same things from our home countries, a lot of things (such as foods or traditions) are the same in Sweden and Norway. Before going to work this morning I left two giftbags for my roomates and new friends. I honestly do not know how I would have managed the first three months here without them and, hand on my heart, they are the best roomates I could have asked for.
Here’s the bags I left for the girls.
Feeling a little bit lonely as I got home from work and walked into an empty apartment, I proceeded to the kitchen where I found the following left for me from my roomates.
The sweetest note ever too! I couldn’t help but smile. They’re so sweet!
Walking home from work I stopped by the grocery store and picked up pretty much any ingredients I could think of that would make a fun salad. And it turned out great! I kicked back and watched three episodes of Sex and the City with dinner before cleaning the apartment a bit and planting myself on the couch with my laptop. The music is blaring out of the speakers right now and I feel a little less alone when I’ve got party music and Facebook to keep me company. Haha!
Le salad. Closeup.

Wandering around town today, criss-crossing through the Christmas markets in this town that is full of holiday spirit, I got to thinking about my life: How is my life different today compared to this day exactly one year ago – or two years ago?
One thing that is different is that I have moved to Prague. Second, I have a completely new job at In Style magazine and third, I’m a year older and (hopefully) a year wiser. But other than that I have realized (much to my disappointment) that not much else has changed. I am still trying to figure out who I am and where I am going, what I want to do in life and if I am on the right path so far. I am still on what is starting to look like an endless journey towards finding some kind of happiness and I feel as if I am still walking in the same irritating circle of confusion that my feet have been furiously stamping round and round in for years.
Friends and family that I talk to tell me: “Do what makes you happy.” But if you don’t know what makes you happy… then what do you do?
