My mother just compared me to my sister, again. My sister is slim and beautiful in every single way. Me on the other hand, I'm chubby, but if you ask me on the right times, I think I'm lovable. I think everybody that have siblings, especially if there's not that big of an age difference between you, can agree with me on the fact that there's a constant friendly competition between you and your siblings. But as we all know, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. My mum is an amazing woman, but because of her lac of filter between her mind and mouth, she doesn't realize that what she says can hurt somebody. I know that she'd never do that to me on purpose, because she'd been through the exact same thing since she is on the heavier side herself.

I'd a major weigh loss two years ago. I accepted my body, I was active (not much, but still), and ate what I felt for. Still I kept on loosing weight, because I accepted me for begin me. After this, people seemed to like me more, which I can't understand. I was still the same one inside, why give me a chance now and not when I was 20 kg heavier? I became obsessed with my body, and started caring more and more about what I put in my mouth. I was so scared that people only liked me because I was skinnier. Begin healthy is great, until a point where you get obsessed. I got obsessed on not gaining weight, but my body got stressed and started to work against me. I gained weight again and was back on the beginner's line. During this time I developed Orthorexia nervosa, which is an eating disorder few people have knowledge about. Ortheorexia nervosa is about eating as healthy as possible. This made me obsessed with calories, carbs, fat and sodium. I stopped going out to dinner with friends and family because I didn't know what they put in my food, and if I did I normally chose a meal with loads of vegetables and didn't ate my rice or my potatoes.

I still try to over come this, and slowly it's working. But begin compared to someone skinner than you it's like a kick in the stomach. Please believe me when I say it's not okay to say "oh, you're so skinny", because it's not. You never know the person's history, if she/he is okay with it and so on, and it's been a lot of focus on this lately. But please remember that it's not okay to say something that hints to the person begin big either. Just as the skinny person you don't know where she/he comes from and their story. If people could mind there own business, I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place. I know it's not easy, but hey…someone has to be the first one, why not you? Keep on remanding yourself that you're beautiful, and there's never going to be a single human begin looking just like you again. Why waste all your beauty, kindness and intelligence on finding flaws in yourself and others? You're better than that, right?


All I see is beauty

So…it's been quiet this weekend. And by quiet I mean no blogging. I've had it up to here with work to do this weekend. Normally I complain about having nothing to do, since my social life is slowly dying. I should just go out on a friday night, get drunk and get to know EVERYBODY! (only thing is that I get a headache after one mojito….which is the only thing I drink, and then again is quite expensive, not a good idea sumo, not a good idea).

But yeah, I went to job with my father and rented the meeting room closes to the coffee machine the entire day. I'm doing a stop motion movie in my science class, so I was in need of a white board. About one and a half hour in my process, I had 10 seconds worth of movie. So, no need to say that this took almost all weekend, and I'm still not done. After school, I'm buying even more coffee, and continue shooting.

But I did get a break on Saturday. I went to Oslo to cut my friend's hair. She was a little bit delayed, so I went to the mall. And, before I say anything, Oslo is pretty crowded on Saturdays already, and I like kids. But I'm not kidding when I say it was kids everywhere. Like a sea of kid's heads. I used 5 minutes, just to get up one floor. Also, I don't know why, but if you're with a child, pregnant or have a stroller, all of the sudden you don't need to look where you go. Now, I'm not saying that I'm better, there's also moments when I could watched out more, but I see this pattern building up that if you have kids involved, you don't have to look around. Having that said, it's Oslo. Nobody excuses themselves if they bump into you. I like to call this "The capital syndrome", 'cause it seems to appear in most capitals. But yeah, back to the point. I really wondered why there was more kids around than usual, and after my appointment, I got the answer! You know those toys you can get on different shows. Either it's a hat, or a stuffed animal and especially this swords with lights and stuff. Yeah, it was everywhere. Kids running around with different swords and girls with the hats that I assume appear in the tinkerbell movies. I don't know why, but I always manage to go to Oslo when it's disney on ice. Always. Just to give you guys a picture of how it was. On my train back home, in the radius of 2 meters, it was three of this light things.

It's pretty cold in the classroom today, although it's not so cold outside. Need to put my jacket on. I'm not a true viking I guess.

Like…well, almost everyone on this page, music is a huge part of my life. I'm tone-deaf, REALLY tone-deaf, and I can't play any interments. I've tried, but it just doesn't seem to be anything that I'm meant to do. I mean, I can hardly see over the guitar when it's on my lap. But on the other hand, I have a really good eye for the cooperation between pictures and music. I can pretty quick make an image in my head when I hear a tune, and it really doesn't take me that long to find music for my videos either.

In the list down below you will see my favorite songs/soundtracks at the moment, maybe you know them and maybe you find something new that you like ^_^

Youtube did not want to cooperate with me today, so only links. But don't worry. If you ask me my taste is good so nothing to be scared off

After my "Moving to Sweden?" post my number of readers tripled all of the sudden, which to me is quite funny, especially since I actually don't know any of you guys IRL. I don't want my readers to feel that I'm just one of the people that you follow, either if you follow me as a friend (which in my case isn't many), you read my blog regally or if you just take a peek and leave again. So, with that said, I'm going to introduce myself probably in this post.
*NOTE: NO NAME IN THIS POST IS REAL EXCPET THE ANIMAL'S. THIS TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY OF MY FAMILY.

I still live with my family (I can't afford to move out) and live just outside Oslo, the capital of Norway. My family contains of my Father, mother and little sister. We also have 5 animals, a dog named Frøya, two parrots named Pyoko and Gunki and two guinea pigs named Apple and Terra. My dad's name is Markus, he is 56 years old and work as a engineer. My mum's name is Sáve (not a typical Norwegian name, because my mother is Sami and Finnish), she used to be a cleaning lady, but she's been sitting in a wheelchair since I was 12 due to illness. And last, but not least my sister. Her name is Emelie, she's 18 years old and studies art.

Then there is me. My name is Anya, I'm 20 years old. I'm a hairdresser, but at the moment I'm a student. Also I'm a geek. I love to study, and believe it or not but my best grades is in subjects like math, science and history…so not the easiest subjects to master but I love them. I'm social awkward and my idea of a good friday night is to play video games, or board games with my sister, or going to the cafe and drink coffee with her. Don't be mistaken, I love spending time with others to…I'm just really really shy. Give me some minutes and I'll be more or less shameless. And like last post said, I want to move to Sweden. Like my sister I'm an art lover, book lover…and pretty much anything culture related lover.
Last I want to add a fun fact about me so I don't sound too much like a robot; I have pointy ears, and can move them.

"You're moving to Sweden? Why?" a question people love to ask me when I'm saying that I want to move to Sweden. We see lots of Swedes moving to Norway because the payment is better, so why would I move to Sweden?

First of all, like the Swedes that are moving to Norway because of work, I want to go to Sweden because of work. Sweden seems to have a foot ahead of us when it comes to the make-up industry. Even tough the payment might be lower, the chances to get a job seems to be better.
Also, I like Sweden, I really do. I'm one of the few Norwegians that can say that without begin ashamed about it (it seems to be a thing that is expected of us to do). I've spend so many days in a car driving through Sweden in the summer time that I've lost counting, and my first meeting with Stockholm was when I was 14, so 6 years ago. I fell in love with this city and knew right away that I wanted to live there. I don't know if Stockholm is the place I'm moving to (first), but I'm zooming in on Stockholm, Gothenburg and maybe Sundsvall, just because this is really pretty cities and I think I can make a living there.

Just because it's Sweden, and the payment is lower, doesn't mean that it can't feel right, and when all I do is telling people to do what feels right and makes you happy, why would I do it myself? Seems a little bit hypocritical, don't you agree?

People that like mondays should either get a serious punch in their faces, or a gold medal. I'm seriously torn between those two options, because they could actually be the best kind of people and really does love mondays, or they're the biggest assholes that likes to brag about anything they can to make themselves different from others.

But anyway, it's really a PJ and glasses kind of day. It really is! I just want to stay at home, in my PJ, with my glasses on and my dirty hair doing what ever it wants to do (no, wait…. it still does that, my bad) and play some video games. I sound really lazy now, I'm aware of that, but there is nothing wrong with that. Unfortially, society doesn't agree with that. I shouldn't complain, I mean, I have every friday off. Sounds like a dream to most of you guys, and it is….but I still don't like mondays. Mondays should be a PJ and glasses kind of day.

What are you guys favorite video game? Myself, I looove the different mario games, kingdom hearts and shadow of the colossus

Oh my luck…where to start.
This morning I was heading to the gym, as usual, and when the bus arrived I figured out that my traveler card was empty. Fair enough, I paid for a ticket and just refilled my card when I arrived Oslo.
On my way home back from a quick visit to the salon I used to work in, I forgot to validate my card. And with my luck, you can guess what met me on the subway station. Yep, checkers here, checkers there, checkers everywhere! So, let's sum up my day. First my card wasn't valid, and now I was about to get a 1300 NOK ticket for forgetting to validate my new one? I figured it out it was best to be honest about it, not pretending begin stupid or anything, just be cooperative. I said my that I completely forgot to validate my card before I took the subway, there was a new ticket on my card, but since I forgot to validate it it wasn't valid yet. ….The guy looked at me, then my card, and then back at me again. "Okay, since it's friday love, but you need to remember to do it, okay?". I was stunned. I've heard about people trying to get away with an warning, somebody with success, and others….well, not so successful. But I'd never thought in my entire life that I would be one of them. Apparently, I'm a good speaker, or the man just was having a really good day.

Have a nice weekend guys (^_^)

I'm a geek. Always been, always will be. Therefor I enjoy useless facts, and like most of you guys, I find these facts easier to remember, than those I have use for. Today's list of useless, but amazing facts:

-Did you know that most alcoholic beverages contain all 13 minerals necessary for staying alive?
-The male octopus usually tear off his mating arm, insert it inside the female before he swims of to die somewhere?
-If the population of China should walk pass you in a single line, it would take about 30 years for it to pass?
-The rubix cube is the most selling item through all time, and it has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 configurations?
-Hydrogen is a flammable gas, but combined with oxygen we get water, which puts fire out?
-It takes the brain 82 ms to process the information of what you're actually seeing, so you're never actually living in the now?

Please comment below if you would like to know more useless, but amazing facts (^o^)/

I've been so tired lately. It has just been one week since the school started again after the holidays and I'm already waving my white flag! No, but in all seriousness, I'm a good student. I pay attention and it shows, but not as much as I want. This year I got four really strong 5s (second best grade here in Norway, don't know about your countries), but does it really matter to me how strong or weak they are? No, because it won't show. My report card will say "science: 5", "math: 5", "history: 5" and "Norwegian: 5", not "math: really strong 5, almost 6". I understand that this is supposed to be a motivation from the teacher, to tell me how much potential I have, but honestly, at the moment it is just a kick in the stomach.

Right now we're having a really big project in my norwegian class. Read three books, take a situation and talk 20 minutes about it. My sister read three books and talked about the female main characters development through the book. Me….well, I read Moomin. Much simpler to read, but trust me…just as hard assignment. Do you have any idea about how hard it will be to get a good grade on something as simple as three child's books with just a bit over a hundred pages in them? But I will do my best, and get back to you guys when the project is over.

Do you guys have any new years resolutions? Myself, I have the usuals, eat healthier, exercise more, study more etc. The eating part, naaah….not so well. It's a process, and I'm slowly, SLOWLY working my way up the ladder. Exercising on the other hand, hahah, is going great. I now usually wake up at 4:20 am so I can have a 6:00 am workout before school and I've been feeling much better after I started doing that. But it's true what they say, the hardest part is the beginning. Once you're used to it, it's nothing anymore. The study part…I will let my summer grades decide on that :)

Wooow, I haven't been at this side in AGES! I'm so sorry to….who ever that reads my blog (if there is someone).

A little update!
I do now have a school membership at Imageakademiet, in Oslo! I can't wait to start my class next year. My big dream of working with make-up is getting closer and closer, but the closer it gets the bigger the dreams gets too. The only thing that I'm really sure about is that I'm moving to Sweden after that, so around winter time 2015. My first trip to Stockholm was in 2008, and I instantly fell in love with the city. Keep your heads held high and be proud of your beautiful capitol. Don't misunderstand me, I'm proud of begin Norwegian (and even prouder of begin mixed), but Stockolm is way prettier than Oslo. Oslo has it's charm…but they're in two different leagues.

A little something I made a couple of weeks ago
