Yesterday night my best friend treated me to dinner out and Sinfonia Drammatica.
It was amaaazing. I had so much fun!!! I've been to the first two "Play!" concerts (which I loved) but this time it felt much more professional, like a real classical concert. Not much talking, a much better behaved audience and NO SCREENS! Finally!
Chris Hülsbeck has been one of my fav composers since early childhood. I loved the music in Giana sisters so much (it was my fav game together with stunt car racer). When they played the great Giana Sisters Suite I got goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes. Those tunes are truly a big part of my childhood.
Suprisingly enough for me the song they played that I liked best besides that, was a song by Yoko Shimomura I've never heard before. I have to be honest and say I've not really heard much at all of her music before this. But the song "Echoes of the spiral" from Legend of Mana. Was by far good enough for me to wanna by her latest album just for that one song.

If this concert is held in your country city etc, don't pass it up!! even if you don't know much about the composers or the games the tunes are from it's a really enjoyable concert. I highly recommend it.

OH! and just before the concert I scared the shit out of, went up and said hi for the first time to someone I've known online for over eight years but never met! LOL I hope I didn't frighten her too much. it was fun though!

As I hinted in the previous post about something super exiting happening~~~!! we're getting a puppy!! Finally!
I'm so incredibe exited about this
We have been talking about it back and forth for the last two years. But it's never been a good time... Okay we don't have a lot of money now either but this late summer/autumn is really the perfect time for us.
Due to the fact that I will still be working from home for half a year more, Andreas is gonna go to school (pretty close by too, 20 min by bus) AND we're staying out here on Dalarö for another year.
It means the puppy will have supervision pretty much all the time for half a year, she's gonna have a big backyard to play around in. And I can easily take her out to the forest for exploring and exersizing every day. yaay!
Here is a blurry pic of her & her siblings 9 days old...she is black with brown paws.


I'm sooo exited...and also a bit nervous. this is gonna be my first dog! Andreas is super experienced though so I guess we'll be fine, but I can't help worrying a little about making lots of mistakes. XD;

hehe so um yeah. I'm apologizing beforehand because I'll probably be pic-spamming everywhere when we get her in the middle of august.

I'm being so spoiled by my precious friends lately I don't even know what to say anymore
I'm so lucky

I(/we) got a lot of engagement/anniversary gifts!!


and late last night I recieved a package from my friend 綾ちゃん!!
so much good stuff, just for me! I can't believe it!

すごくうれしかったです

カワイイ!

Patlabor stamp! awesome～

Now i'm off to stash all of the japanese candy somewhere until saturday (I'm on a diet, so I can eat sweets only on saturdays)

this is a bit late news for those who don't follow my blog/facebook BUT I´M ENGAGED!! *happy* I wanted to write about it earlier but after our big party I've been too busy cleaning up, catching up on work and being allergic.
I am so happy♪ I didn't think it would mean so much to me.. It all is suprising!
Andreas proposed to me on the night of our tenth anniversary. *^3^*)/ how romantic!


We had our party the day after Andreas proposed, it was supposed to be a big tenth anniversary party but I guess it sorta turned into an engagement party instead but either way it was awesome! I had so much fun I still can't stop thinking about it. ♥
I all of my friends!! and all my dear friends outside of Stockholm & Sweden too, wish you all could have been there!

Today it has been ten years since Andreas & I became a couple. Time has flown by so fast!!
Not much time for celebrations today, as We're busy prepping for a big celebration party tomorrow.
I'm so exited
