I booked my trip to Borneo. The plan is that I'm heading to London-Kuala Lumpur-Kota Kinabalu on the 20th of July.
I'm going to travel around in Sabah-Borneo for a month on my own. I've never gone backpacking before so I'm really nervous and excited about it!
I hope it all goes well. It seems like such an amazing place. I'm mostly just scared about all the bugs and that I will probably have to take malaria tablets which can fuck you up a bit in the head. I think I'm actually more scared of leeches than spiders! Who would have thought that I could be more scared of anything else?!

So next on the list is vaccinations and discuss with my GP if I will actually need them malaria tablets or not. I guess if the risk is high the best thing is to take them but with my medical history of having a bit of a shaky mental health it's a bit risky.

Then shopping for some clothes for the trip. I have to try bring as little as possible but still both warm and not so warm clothes since I will climb mount kinabalu which is at high altitude and colder than the rest of the island but the jungle will be hot and humid. I also need hiker boots but I might just get them over there.

So good luck me!

I was back in Sweden visiting there last week. It was lovely and I was so lucky with the weather! 20 degrees and sunny one of the days.

This is one of my old friends from school and her son Zacharias:




So cute!

Spring is officially here!
The weather was amasing for Paddys Day, and the day after too - for which I wasn't up to much due to all the wine I dutyfully consumed on Paddys day but went to a nice italian restaurant with Alex and had a smoothie in the park.

Took some photos the other day. Spring is really here and it makes me so happy!







You can just smell it in the air - everything feels so much easier.

and soon I'm going home to Sweden for 5 days! :D

A long time ago I said I was going to put a photo up of the painting I made before Christmas... I gave it to Alex as a Christmas present and painted it with that in mind. And now finally I came around to doing it.




What do you think?

I know the photo is a bit crooked but I was in a hurry when I took it and it was standing on his bed so wasn't the best circumstanses...
I don't know what to call it though... any suggestions?

My banshee


In the darkest hour
she comes
It's the banshee and
she is after me
Her icy hands clasp around my throat
They stick there
like magnet to steel

But dawn is breaking
and she wont stay long
The first beam of light
will send her home
and all that is left is the smell
of sour grapes

...and hope

I am completely in to the Twilight books... I haven't slept enough for several days because I can't stop reading at night even though my eyes are dropping. At the moment I am reading the third book. I have to get the fourth one tomorrow because I have a feeling I will have finished this one by then. I haven't been this in to a book since I read the last Harry Potter book.

But now I've come to that point were I just want to keep reading (it's like heroine) but still try to keep myself from it... dreading the moment when the books will be finished and I will have to step back in to reality. I just want to stay in the book. In the other world were I don't have to make any decisions or take any responsibility. No worries and no other thoughts. Like meditation in a way.

I love the books that draw me in like that. I want to write a book like that. I want to feel like that while writing... but I am scared that it wont be good enough and if it's not good enough for me, it isn't good enough to show anyone.



My phone is broken by the way. The prettiest phone ever... but not working.

Look how pretty:


I sent it off to get fixed and I borrowed sweet Elins phone for now, totally saved me
from isolation there. :)

Hopefully I'll get it back soon enough.
