Birthday reflections

Tomorrow is my 26th birthday..
Yet another year added to my age..time really flies..

I don’t feel 26, well no surprise, I never felt 25 either. It’s too sudden, I feel like my life has passed by me in an instant and I haven’t achieved anything.
10 years ago, I was sure, that, when I turned 25 I’d have it all…Money, a husband, a career, a house in the country, a car, a family…maybe even a child..

I’m turning 26 tomorrow, and I haven’t achieved anything yet. I work instead of studying, and it’s not my dream job, it’s just a job to get by. I’m not married, in fact I don’t even have an official boyfriend, I work too much, I don’t have any money, and I don’t own a car.
I wish I could have at least achieved something.

Well, I DID achieve the title of being Danish Champion of Cosplay 2007…and I did participate in World Cosplay Summit in Japan August 2008. It was a great experience, and I think of it as one of the biggest achievements of my life. What else is there to talk about? Nothing really important.
I guess this is what happens when you get older, you start to reflect about your life, especially when you see everyone around you getting married or getting children.
I don’t even want children, not yet at least, I don’t know if I will ever want them, but I don’t see myself as a mother yet.
In fact I see myself as a teenager or someone in their early 20’s, I can’t believe I’m closer to 30 now than 20. It’s horrible…

I have 4 years left, until I am REALLY old..
my life really never turned out like I wished for..
I hoped I had found my one and only, and that he’d have asked me to marry me, and that we’d be living together as a happy couple…

I guess it’s a phase I’m going through right now, it’s like I don’t matter to anyone, and I feel really exhausted all the time. I don’t think anyone really cares about me.
It’s my birthday tomorrow, and I only recieved 2 birthday cards today. It’s sunday tomorrow, so I guess if people had sent me birthday cards they’d have sent them so I would receive them today, since they don’t deliver mail tomorrow. But only my grandmother and an old penpal remembered my birthday, or cared to send a card.

The one I care about the most, didn’t even care to send a card..so what if we’ll be seeing eachother tomorrow, he could have atleast sent the card in advance…
I don’t even thin he’s gotten me a card or anything, since he says he doesn’t have any money.

Why is it so difficult to get older?
When you’re younger you want to be older, but when you cross a certain age, you don’t wanna grow any older..I wish I was still 21. That was a pretty good age.

Well, tomorrow, is my birthday, and I have a gig doing a cosplay show for children. It’s only for half an hour, but I won’t be able to have a birthday party, cuz it’s sunday, and nobody will come to a party on a sunday, unless it’s early in the day.
And I don’t think my family will do anything for me either, actually I don’t think any of them likes me very much. I don’t belong here…
I want to go back to Japan, I don’t belong here, I have nothing here..
I only have one person, but I’m not sure if I’ll have him for much longer, because, well I’m afraid he will come to hate me too.

I guess this will be one of the only birthdays for wich I haven’t got anything planned.
I just hope I can be with my special someone, since I don’t have anyone else..

Backstreets Back again and again!!!

I’ve always loved Backstreet Boys, ever since their first single “we’ve got it goin’ on” I’ve been a fan!
I was so sad when they stopped doing new albums, and when they had their big comeback I was so happy!
The album “never Gone” was a big success! And I really loved all the songs! It was the perfect comeback! Now they’re ready with a new single called “Inconsolable”. You can listen to it by going to www.backstreetboys.com or on youtube!
The singles got what it takes to become a real hit! It’s got great lyrics, and wonderful harmony! The music and song is just perfect!

I listen to it all the time!

Enjoy the song

Inconsolable

I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Felt like a scene on the cutting room floor
When I let you walk away tonight
Without a word

I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling, ohh
If you were here right now, I swear,
I’d tell you this

CHORUS:
Baby I don’t want to waste another day
Keeping it inside it’s killing me
Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
I’m wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I’m inconsolable

I climb the walls
I can see the edge but I can’t take the fall, no.
I’ve memorized the number
So why can’t I make the call?
Maybe ’cause I know you’ll always be with me
In the possibility

CHORUS:
Baby I don’t want to waste another day
Keeping it inside it’s killing me
Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
I’m wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I’m inconsolable

I don’t want to be like this,
I just want to let you know,
Everything that I’m holding,
Is everything I can’t let go, can’t let go.

CHORUS:
Baby I don’t want to waste another day
Keeping it inside it’s killing me
Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
I’m wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I’m inconsolable

Don’t you know it baby
I don’t want to waste another day

I’m wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I’m inconsolable

what if I’m right?

Sometimes it happens that I hear a song, which in every way fits perfectly to the relationship I am in. It happend to me recently!
I was driving home from work and this song came on the radio which I never  heard before.
I didn’t know the singer, nor the name of the song, but the lyrics hit me harder than ever.
How did this singer know excactly what I was thinking?

Today I found out who the singer was. A woman named Sandi Thom, and the song is called “What if I’m right?”

It just so happens that the man I love, is like this perfect guy for me, though he lives in norway, and so we can’t really be together, but he is planning on moving to Denmark in about a year. And then we are supposed to be together forever….but I have  my doubts about this whole thing…

I present to you…
Sandi Thom – What if I’m right

And the Lyrics:
You’ll take me on a journey
And be there till the end
It won’t be an uphill struggle
On you I can depend
You promised me a dream home
With roses round the door
You’ll cover me in diamonds
There’s nothing I want more

And You’ll be strong
And you’ll turn me on
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
You’ll be true and be faithful too
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
What if I’m right?

‘cos if the rain starts falling
You’ll protect me with your coat
And you’ll always tape the football
And let me watch my soap
You’ll always be as handsome
And your weight will never gain
And when I give birth to our children
I will feel no pain

And You’ll bring me flowers
And you’ll bring the showers
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
You’ll say I’m thin and bring the washing in
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
What if I’m right?

You’ll always keep the magic
The tender love and care
And when you need to change the light bulb
You wont hand me the chair
And when we’re tired of the city
And we find a country home
You’ll sell your vinyl records
And go get us a loan

You’ll be my sympathetic lover
And won’t steal the covers
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
You won’t forsake me
Your mother won’t hate me
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?

You’ll be strong
And you’ll turn me on
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
You’ll be true
And be faithful too
But I’ve got my doubts and what if I’m right?
What if I’m right?

Dub-dub-dub….

What happens when 3 Danish silly anime fangirls decide to dub anime on their own? AND decide that the dubbing should be in JAPANESE, even though they hardly know a word japanese to begin with?

See for yourself…

My first Youtube addition

I made my first youtube video addition yesterday, it is a recording of my cats being silly. They are chasing after a laser light. And I accompany this funny video with a just as funny song by Weird Al Yankovic, Polkarama.

Please, you watch..




Dinnerparty at the japanese ambassador’s

Yesterday I went to a dinnerparty at the japanese ambassador’s place in Copenhagen.
He lives in a G I A N T house!
It was really amazing there, and they were all very nice!

I wore a vintage Kimono which I bought from a japanese homepage
My sister wore a very nice Yukata which I found for her on a danish homepage
Here follows some nice pictures of us girls in kimono and Yukata.

Friday the 13th

Today is friday the 13th…A day which makes most people think of scary or bad things…
Like today is the most unlucky day of all, and the day that has been used for several horror movies….
What makes this day so special? Why is this day so extraordinary unlucky just because it is a friday, and it happens to be the 13th?

I guess superstition has a lot to do with the number 13…it always appears to be a very unlucky number, and in ghost stories and folklore it often occurs as a cursed number…

Let us see what Wikipedia the allknowing has to say about this subject:

Before the 19th century, though the number 13 was considered unlucky, and Friday was considered unlucky, there was no link between them. The first documented mention of a “Friday the 13th” is generally listed as occurring in the early 1900s.

However, documentation aside, many popular stories exist about the origin of the concept:

• The Last Supper, with stories that Judas was the thirteenth guest, and that the Crucifixion of Jesus occurred Friday.
• That the biblical Eve offered the fruit to Adam on a Friday, and that the slaying of Abel happened on a Friday (though the Bible does not identify the days of the week when these events occurred).
• That it started on Friday, October 13, 1307, the date that many Knights Templar were simultaneously arrested in France, by agents of King Philip IV.

However, historically, there is no true date that the Friday the 13th superstition can be linked to.

In the case of Greece, Tuesday, April 13, 1204 was the date that Constantinople was sacked by the crusaders of the fourth crusade. The first ever fall of the richest then Christian city, and the looting that followed, allegedly gave Tuesday 13 its bad meaning. Ironically enough, Constantinople fell for the second time in its history on Tuesday, May 29, 1453, to the Ottoman Turks, a date that puts an end to the Byzantine empire, and to Greek sovereignty for several centuries, and therefore reinforcing Tuesday as an unlucky day in the Greek world.

Many modern stories (including The Da Vinci Code) claim that when King Philip IV had many Templars simultaneously arrested on October 13, 1307, that started the legend of the unlucky Friday the 13th. However, closer examination shows that though the number 13 was indeed considered historically unlucky, the actual association of Friday and 13 seems to be an invention from the early 1900s

So there you have it folks…wikipedia has spoken…

Anyways put that aside…how can a friday be unlucky?? it is the first day of the weekend, you can stay up as late as you want, you can go out to party, you can watch a movie…and the 13th? well, for some reason the number is considered very unlucky, but it happens to be my lucky number….

So I am counting on having a very nice and happy friday the 13th!

In the meanwhile you can enjoy this nice music video….

This is so 80’s! XD

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

Finally, the day we all have been waiting for with great expectations, for a year, is finally drawing near.
On July 7th 2007 “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows” will be released.
This is the last book of the Harry Potter series, the final, there will be no more after this. Oh have I been longing for this day to come, to be able to finally read the final book. For about 8 years now I have been hooked on the Harry Potter universe. It all started when I at christmas 1999 got the all new Harry Potter And the philosofers stone as a present. I started reading it, but the first chapter didn’t really catch me…but then I sat down and concentrated on getting through it, and all of a sudden, I was hooked. One chapter took the next and before I had a chance to think twice I was reading the second book. And then the third came, and the fourth came and I was anticipating it with glee. When the fifth came I had been waiting with so much anticipacy that I didn’t do anything but read for days after purchasing my copy of the book.
When the release date of the 6th book in 2006 neared, I was so excited that I started reading book number 5 again, just to catch up and be sure I remembered everything correctly. And the day it was released they held a release sale at a bookshop near me, and at midnight they started selling the books. I was the 7th to buy the book in that shop! People were stampeeding in order to get to it first, it was some fight, and I hurried off with my precious under one arm, eager to get home and start reading.

This year is really going to be something. Oh I can hardly wait! En epic story is nearing an end, what will happen??
Is dumbledore really dead? Will Harry be able to defeat evil Voldemort? Who will die next? Will Harry survive? What about Ron and Hermione, will they get eachother this time? Will one of them die? Ohhh the suspense is killing me…..

I am already preparing for the days where I will slump into a corner of my sofa, with a big glass of Cola by my side and a bag of candy, just disappearing into the last of the adventures of Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione. Oh it is going to be great!!!

The covers of the UK version of the book has been released now.

This is what the adult version of the book will look like

This is what the children version of the book will look like

The only difference of these to versions of the book, is the cover…the adult version is made, so that adults won’t have to be embarrased when someone catch them reading a childrens book …. oh really stop it!! What is it with people today…geeez!
Ah anyways, I am very much looking forward to be reading the book…no matter what cover it may have.

The magic is in us all!

Thank you global warming….

For some time now, it has been a nice spring weather, the sun was out everyday..Flowers and trees started to bloom, the days are becomming longer…the spring came early this year, we thought, its only april and a couple of days ago, I even started to think about bringing out my summer clothes.. But…all good things come to end..what met me when I woke up this morning, made me really annoyed. Snow…everywhere, and suddenly rain too…oh how nice….nothing to start the day with but a nice cold rainy day…

What is going on with the weather?
I remember a time where the weather fitted the seasons.Spring had rain and sun getting warmer everyday,  Summer came with sun and heat,  the fall came with colder days and Winter came with snow and cold…
It seems the seasons are changing entirely…its almost like spring has become winter, summer has become spring,  fall has become summer and winter  has become fall…this is so strange…

Maybe there is something about the Global Warming theory anyway…I wonder what is going to happen in the future? Nobody knows really…

All I know for sure is that this weather really pisses me off, and it totally ruins my health. The sudden changes all the time makes me ill, I go from one illness to the other and I have a constant cold.

Atleast I can comfort myself by sitting infront of a nice cozy fireplace and getting a nice neck massage from my dearest love.
