Giant bows, hearts, and polkadots

Ah yes Monday… everyone’s favorite day of the week. I have to leave for school soon so I have a feeling that tomorrow will be let’s cram this Tuesday because I wasn’t very productive over the weekend. But I did have fun! So nope, no regrets!

The Breakfast Diary: den 30:e januari 2012

Good morning Tumblr Universe!  Another breakfast post (which you’re all probably tired of) but it really helps me keep track of what I’m eating. 

Today I had Alpro Soya Yogurt and fresh berries. I love how soy yogurt tastes a bit tangy - but the good kind of tangy! I like the vanilla more than the original because then I don’t have to add honey or any other sweetener :) 

I’ve also become the world’s biggest bum because I hate jogging when there’s snow outside so I’m going back and doing what I love the most - YOGA

Jillian Michaels really is the best. 

I guess that I don’t need that though, now you’re just somebody that I used to know.

Gotye

Nicole and I have been singing this song aaaaalllll day haha I cant get it out of my head! The rocks hate me for showing them Walk off the Earth’s version. Mer tweeted me saying “@margabee Same here. I downloaded it na nga eh. In Ted Mosby’s words, “hauntingly beautiful.” Hate you @jamieblomdahl”  

Inspired by the Söderberg sisters I wore a dress I got from Dorothy Perkins last Tuesday and simply threw a knitted sweater on top seeing as the temperature keeps dropping!  

Completely random but here’s what I saw outside our front door the other day:

Dad clearly knows how to keep the sodas cool. ;)

The Breakfast Diary: den 27:e januari 2012

What better way to start the weekend than making a big batch of plättar

  • ägg (3 eggs)
  • 6 dl mjölk (6 dl of Milk)
  • 2 1/2 dl vetemjöl (2 1/2 dl of flour)
  • 1/2 tsk salt (1/2 teaspoon of salt)
  • 2 msk flytande margarin (2 tablespoons of butter) 

  1. Vispa samman äggen med hälften av mjölken. (Whisk the eggs and 3 dl of milk together) 
  2. Tillsätt mjölet och vispa till en klimpfri smet. Vispa i resten av mjölken och saltet. (Whisk everything until there are no clumps then pour the rest of the milk and whisk away) 
  3. Vispa ner margarinet i smeten. Du behöver då inte använda extra fett vid gräddningen. (Okay so you can either put the butter into the mixture or you can put it in the pan before pouring the mixture - your choice!) 
  4. Hetta upp laggen. Häll i ett tunt lager smet. När ytan stelnat och blivit matt är det dags att vända pannkakan eller plättarna. Stek i ytterligare någon minut. (Pour the mixture using a small ladle and make sure it’s not too thick. And after about a minute or so turn)  

They were seriously (sinfully) good and we had them with fresh berries and kesella with vanilla!!! Fredagsfrukost at it’s best!

Hiss eller diss?

I don’t think my pink hard-shell case will last much longer so I’ve been looking for a new one and I actually love my case (it’s Speck’s Satin for Macbook) but the pink one is out of stock EVERYWHERE, and yes that includes online as well so I’m thinking of getting the BookBook Case. Yes? Or?

Okay I am looking for an awesome iPhone case but I don’t know which one I should get! These are my favorites right now but if you have any suggestions hit me! 

Hörde jag skål?

Hejsan Tumblr world! It’s waaaaay too early but gosh I am sleeppy and I still have a lot of things to do :( (aka el estudio de español y sueco!) I was up last night catching up on certain tv shows… whoops! Shouldn’t have stayed up late. Regret in the morning - as always. Aaahhh have to do things in advance since I already have two books that need to be read ASAP and another two to follow.   

Oh and nope, I’m not wearing heels to school haha I still avoid them as much as possible because driving then becomes unfeasible. But here’s what I wore during our dinner last Saturday:

I’m also on the search for the perfect winter bohemian outfit for next Friday. I sort of have an idea but I’m not a hundred percent sure. I’ll look around the stores in town tomorrow and hopefully I’ll find something on sale! 

Well that’s that. I’m late and my car is still frozen! Anyway hope everyone had a terrific Thursday! 

If you use film you can’t see it, so you need to feel it.

Before class today Frida and I tagged along with Elin to get some photos they’ve developed. I love film photography. I think it’s so natural, so raw and real. 

Elin and Nicole are going to use the photos for their thesis this year! Preeeetty cool. Reminds me of my days of sitting in with April and Analou at the Film Institute in UP. 

The photo below was taken waaaay back when we could still go around town in our summer wardrobe. Haha check out the length of my hair! Gosh it seems so long ago. 

I got pretty inspired today and here’s the thing I’m looking for the perfect film camera (that won’t cost me an arm and a leg of course) Send me a message (askbox) or email me at jpblomdahl@yahoo.com :)

Any suggestions?

I left the busy streets of Manila and flew 5814.6 miles to study across the world in the land of Ikea, Absolute, meatballs and the midnight sun.

I'm known as Josephine in Sweden and Jamie or Jay in the Philippines. For future reference: I respond to all three.

I'm a full time geek, a photography tyro, a fashion junkie, and a blogger even in my sleep.

In this tumblelog you'll find daily (well almost) entries about my not so ordinary life as a filipino-swedish teenager living wherever life takes me.
