Back in my bed

The past few days has passed by like a struck of a lightning and in one week my 2 month long vacation will end.
I've only moved to Copenhagen 3 days ago and it already feels like I've been there for more than a month. I have been through introduction meetings with my class and went on a guided tour around school with our tutors. I still i don't how to orientate because its like a maze in there. The school is called CSS (Center for Human Life and Society) and it is actually the old national hospital in Copenhagen so it's kind of scary being in there because the interior design looks like a hospital. Yesterday, after dinner dinner at school, I went home to Odense and I arrived really, really late, but luckily I could have my mom pick me up at the central station. It feels good to be in your own bed again and most of the day, I've spendt it in my bed. Okay, I have been out for groceries and the doctor with my mom.. And yes I've also helped her with paperwork,  emailed a few persons and prepared dinner .. So today felt like I've never been away ...  I just returned to do what I've been running from... It's like.. in the try of escaping class you meet you teacher on the way out ...xD

Tomorrow is the big mass at ØM (don't ask me about it), so i have to sleep because i have to pack lunch for tomorrow ^^

Stupid love songs

Recently i've been stuck with old sugar-sweet love songs like Robbie Williams - Angels and She's The One, Marc Terenz - Loved To Be Loved By You, Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me.
But i've also switched forth and back between rather sad love songs like Tim Christensen - Love Is A Matter, Right Next To The Right One,  Saybia - The Day After Tomorrow and Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah.. 

But the one that's in my head atm. is Brian Mcknight - Back At One Which i've put up on the blog's sidebar and in this post... I think i have to put this and the first four songs,  mentioned in the post, on my wedding playlist... If i had one !! HAHAHAHAH XD



Sorry i'm just really tired... I have a big day ahead of me .. Tomorrow it's "bye Odense".

Red roots

I've finally dyed my hair again because my roots needed a touch-up ;)
I haven't done anything with my hair since my trip to Vietnam back in february 2013, and both the curls and the color seems to fade away so i tried to dye my roots and later i will get another perm (most likely when i'm all settled in Copenhagen - it's cheaper there somehow ...)

I bought a hair-dye kit from Garnier in the color 4.15 - "Iced Coffee", which is a rich medium/light brown color. It's from the "Ultra Color"collection which is more preferable if you have a dark hair color and want to lighten it up without bleaching it first.

So i dyed it myself... and let the product stay in for 35 min

Rinsed my hair with cold water and two days after ...

My hair looks like this ...

Here you see it compared to my ends....

......

So my hair got red instead of brown ....   Either somebody swapped the contents in the box or my hair has red pigmentation... because it looks like the top of my head is going to explode from heat ... It just looks stupid, but for once my mother thinks it looks okay so i just keep it like this for some time ;)

Have a nice monday guys !

Go and make disciples of all nations!

I have so many beautiful memories from my trip to Brazil and even though I’ve been home for almost a week, I don’t have that relieved feeling of being home. I haven’t even missed my bed as I do when I’ve been away for a long time. When I came back from Vietnam, the first thing I did was clean my face and get in bed, but this time I just rolled around on the kitchen floor thinking. I came back at night but I wasn’t tired at all even though I only slept about 3 hours out of the 20 hours journey. I had the feeling I was having a bad dream that I couldn’t wake up from and I really wished that when I woke up in the morning, I would still be in my king-bed at Mecure hotel in São Paulo.  On the day of departure, I was so nervous and scared because I didn’t feel like I knew anybody. We were about 40 I knew the names of about 6.  When I finally arrived to Rio airport, I still couldn’t believe what I just went into. All I was thinking was: ”why the heck, did I decide to go to Brazil. I must be nuts”, and now I couldn’t be happier that I got convinced to join a group of Catholics on their pilgrimage. I was actually weird for me to tell people, when I was asked, that I was going on a pilgrimage... because many did not understand what that meant and neither did I at that time. Here’s a little info about WYD.

 JMJ, WYD or “World Youth Day” is a weeklong festival and young Catholics all over the world meet and celebrate their beliefs in god. Johannes Paulus II or Pope John Paul II as others call him is credited for starting this event about and it is held every three years, but this one in Rio de Janeiro was an exception. If you want to know more about it, you can Google it ;)

I did not write any kind of a diary but I have taken quite many pictures - 1.498 photos to be more specific and that’s after I’ve deleted about 1/3 of it. Feel free to check them out on my Flickr photo stream ;)

I’m going to narrow down my three weeks as much as possible...

Postponed

Not going to update for awhile because i'm moving to Copenhagen in a week or two and i have a lot to do for my family too. need to catch up with my friends before i leave and i also have some activities in the church ... phew. for those who are back in school and at work i wish you good luck!

It takes time

Since i came back, I've been doing nothing else than cleaning up all the mess I left right before I went to Brazil - and that takes quite some time. I've sit in various telephone meetings for my mom, helped her with paperwork, helped my father out and cleaned the house. My siblings haven't missed me since i went away because they had their own plans for the holiday. They just came home yesterday and this morning they'll go to Legoland  with my cousin Anh Thu. I won't be going with them because Legoland is not my thing. First of all, the waiting line is always way too long and most of the rides are boring...

so that was a bunch of reasons why the long-waited post about brazil hasn't been up yet, but i'm taking care of it. Just to warn you, the post is going to be the longest and the most "dry" post i've ever written because i have to summarize my 3 weeklong, spiritual journey in one single post so look forward to that ! to ligthen it up a bit i have a bunch of new stuff i'll show you :)
so far i've managed to finish the first week... 2 weeks left to summarize...

I'm back home !!

I'm finally back home after 3 intense weeks in the land of paradise... BRAZIL!!! I though i would have (time and) internet access in Brazil but to my surprise i did not even make a single update on the blog but you guys still checks up on it ! How sweet ! :D

I'll have to go to bed now, because i have to get used to the time ... Night !!
