I made it and they did let me into the country! go me.

I landed this morning at 6am local time. I believe we have 5h ahead of Swedish time. hate to travel this way cause of the time. anyways. flight was good, 10h and I think I got an hours sleep. watched the other women, red riding hood, many episodes of two and a half men, ate, read my book and some sleep. yea that's pretty much what I did.
I got picked up at the airport and they drove me to my hotel where I met Kim for breakfast. delicious! I was so hungry. hate airplane food.

After breakfast I went upstairs for a little nap. I was supposed to meet kim again at 1pm but my alarm never went off so I overslept half an hour. why does that happen? I don't understand. stupid phone.

still in bed, feeling shitty right now. trying to get some energy to take a shower and the get over to the bowl and watch. don't know if I'm gonna bowl today or just try to stay awake the whole day, hopefully get a good night's sleep and then bowl tomorrow instead. We will see

scores can be found at
www.abf-online.org under calendar you can find the PBA and world tour stop event in Bangkok, Thailand. :)

travel day

Publicerat 2014-08-18 14:12:51 i Allmänt
What a horrible start to this trip.
I am flying with Thai airways for the first time and if it wasn't for the pretty Thai girls on the flight that is so polite, this would Deffo be my last time.
As you all know, bowling balls weight alot. I'm normally traveling with 6 balls but cause of the rules of this airline I can only bring two balls on my ticket. I called the airline to make sure it was possible for me to buy one extra bag a 23kg on this trip. I got a yes and a prize that was close to what we normally pay, around 600-700swedish kr.

This i tell the girl at the check in counter and she tells me no. We only do pay/kg. so she calculated and gave me a 1100$ bill. WHAT THE FUCK?!
insane. In the end I had only myself to blame cause it's my responsibility to read the home page to find out the charges. truth is I tried, called two other friends to get some help and last the airline to figure it all out. and this was before I even bought the ticket.

I am furious.
550$ bill and I could only bring 5balls.
I would have never picked this airline if I was told the actual rules.

well.
At least I'm boarded and ready for this 10h trip with my new book: 50 shades of grey. bring on rain, bowling & good food please.

and maybe a drink or two tomorrow, special occasion!

I've had big problems with my blog app. I tried to post and every time it either shuts down or I loose service. so annoying!

since last time we spoke I have done some pretty fun things, I have watched a soccer game love, played beerpong, worked, danced, dinner celebrations with my friends and parents and bowled.

Milton came here after work on Thursday and we decided to go see my favorite team play. me, josefine, Alexander and Milton. its was a fun match and my team won! After the game we went back go my place for some beerpong and to hang out for a bit. Amelie joined us. had a blast!

work on Friday for an hour and a half. ran some errands and then back home for a powernap before dinner. showered, changed and got picked up at 6pm. pre-drink and dinner with my closest friends back home to celebrate my 23rd birthday in advance. ended the evening with dancing but left downtown pretty early.

Saturday I spent pretty much on the couch all day. I was so tired. actually went practicing for an hour and that was pretty much it. rented 3 movies on the way home: runner runner, 2 guns and make a move. anyone seen them?

today was work between 1pm-7pm. so busy cause the weather is bad over here. Did laundry at the same time too. phewwww

but now it's all done. I'm packing my things cause tomorrow is a new adventure. Thailand is on the schedule. can't wait! really looking forward to get the season started :)

first some sleep then off to practice in the morning and then train ride to cph to catch my flight straight to bkk.

goooood morning peeps

yesterday was a busy day. I had work, coaching, errands and practice all day. Not a minute off until the late evening. I got home pretty late too cause I went by josefines on the way home to say hi. her brother was there visiting and I haven't seen him in forever.
came home around midnight and couldn't fall asleep until like 1am.

but even though I knew I wasn't gonna get that much sleep I still put the alarm on 6.45am to go out for a morning run. The first this summer I believe. 6km! better than expected :) could feel my knee a bit the first km so I think I need to warm up a little better next time. otherwise it felt pretty good. weather was amazing!

now ready for work 9.30am-2pm and after that.... MILTON GETS HERE :D happytimes.

what a fantastic start to this monday! I was sleeping in, woke up right before noon and watched a movie. when the movie was over I took a quick look through fb and saw the guys were in the top4 in doubles at the world youth championships. changed from movie to live streaming by bowltv.com. I was so nervous but the guy did a great job on the lanes and ended up with a gold medal! so excited for them. :)



teared up and I had goosebumps all over! congrats Markus and Pontus!

this gave me inspiration so I was off to the bowl for a practice session. focus on hitting my target and also speed adjustments. must say ive been bowling very good lately. very happy about this - looking forward to thailand in 7days. :)

my mom picked me up after practice and we went to the gym for a bodypump class. and guess what? I could finally put on more weights on the leg part!! yaaaay and my knee is not a problem anymore 😍

when I got home I made some food, baconwrapped chicken filet with rice, sauce and pineapples. yum! now ready for a shower and to spend the evening on the couch. tomorrow is back to work :)

friendship

Publicerat 2014-08-10 20:27:25 i Allmänt
I was wrong about how I was gonna spend my saturday evening. Amanda texted and we decided to go out for a long powerwalk. from my place down to the beach, by the small boat marina, through the woods (dont ask me why we went through there cause we had no idea where we were, haha) then back home. 2h walk and we chatted the whole way, catching up. I dont get to see this girl alot but the amazing part about our friendship is that no matter how long it has been, our friendships remains the same. ♡ this girl is amazing.

view at the beach during our powerwalk yesterday. home sweet home





I was back home around 10.30pm, started watching a movie, then another movie, then the third movie. fell asleep around 2.30am. which was stupid cause im sooo tired today. at least I got to sleep in. 1pm-6pm work and also practiced for about an hour, on short. thank god for urethane balls. 👌

now back on my coach, just ate and cant make up my mind if I wanna go downtown to meet with my girls or not. well I want to but do I have the energy?

had an amazing day from the moment I woke up til bedtime. first work for only 1,5h. just perfect if you ask me ;) then I met up with my bff Josefine, ran som errands and then sat down at a outdoor restaurant to cool down with a beer. one beer turned out to be four and also a few other friends stopped by. sat there for a few hours, lovely!

went home to my mom and dads to walk the dogs, I was gonna watch their house over the night. had some friends over later on for wine and to play some games. had a great time and my tummy hurts from laughing so much yesterday!

today when the dogs started barking at 7.30 I was not happy. haha so not used to it. took them out for a long walk and then got ready for my 2h work shift. did I tell you I love my schedule at the moment? haha. after work, back up to my parents for another walk. the dogs have so much energyyyyy. right after that walk I went back home, ate and then took a well needed nap.

now watching one of my favorite movies, honey. love dance. gonna be stuck here probably all day. tomorrow is work and practice :) only 9days left!

9.30am-4pm work

just signed out with a big smile. ive been baking pretty much all day, banan cakes and chocolate cake with coconut topping. yum. kitchen smelled so good earlier.

but it was not really that part that made me smile today. I just booked a ticket to thailand a few mins ago. leaving in 12days, world bowling tour event! as I told you yesterday I recieved a message that was gonna change my plans in the near future. this is it. a trip I was not expecting to go on, but I guess things change. haha I dont mind. I got the great news that I am 3rd on the world tour ranking going into the last tournament. I totally miss counted before usa. I thought it was two more tournaments and that I was too far behind, turns out its only one tournament and im ahead. need to go to thailand and do a decent tournament to stay in 3rd.
and if I do; that means world tour ranking finals in vegas later this year. same tv-show I bowled 2011..

one of my goals this season was to get back on there. lets make this goal happen!!!

woke up with a sore throat, cancelled my morning run and did a few bicep, abs and shoulder routines at home instead. any workout is better than no workout.

took a shower and got ready for my lunch date. josefine and john came over to wait for the rest to show up. when mathias and elin showed up we jumped in the car and started the drive to höganäs where they have a big buffet of pancakes. 😍 we spent an hour there, pancake after pancake. yum

when I was there I recieved and email that is gonna change my schedule a bit in the near future. I need to get everything sorted out before I tell you all about it but it is GREAT news for me.
things are really going my way at the moment. I can now share other news.

first off lets get rid of the sad news:
my year at loudmouth has come to and end and unfortunately we could not continue our partnership together. I wanns thank loudmouth golf for a fun year in colorful clothes!

onto the good news:
I am making one of my dreams reality in a few weeks. I have signed up for a course, I am going back to "school". starting aug25th and 10weeks later I will be a certified make up artist! I am super excited about this and it is really a dream come true!

I cant stop smiling every time im talking about it :)

nuff about that
I also practiced today, actually starting to get back to a good feeling. not all shots but the good ones are better than they have been for a long time. practice again tomorrow. hard work pays off they say. :)

making plans for the evening at the moment. well see what happens, nothing too exciting since im going back to work tomorrow :)


OH HAPPY DAYS

thanks to Skånes Bowlingförbund for the invite and for having me today. it was a fun and exciting day together with the next generation of bowlers. makes me a happy bowler to see such will and talent amongst the youth bowlers in the south part of sweden.

today I got to share my story and also hear their stories. we bowled against each other and we bowled with each other. we did some team work challenges. I must say im impressed they could do the long days in this weather, it was hot in the bowl and they didnt say anything about being tired or any fingers hurting.

again, thanks guys for having me! I hope to see you all soon again :)

august 4th.
I AM BACK!
I am ready to get back on routines, bowl, work and workout.
I have had one of the best summers ever. I have been surrounded by my closest friends and family, made some shorter trips, done spontaneous things, wine-dates on rooftops, beerpong under the stars, midnight swims in the ocean, poolparty, bbq's and sleepover with the nephew.
I have bowled and worked out a few times, when I have felt that I missed it, to stay in shape.
I now feel that I miss the game, I miss the routines, I miss hanging out in the bowl and im excited to get started again.
and what better way to start the season but to get invited to a camp and visit them today, 10-15youth bowlers, to talk about my journey. im nervous but I cant wait to share my story on and off the lanes. after all im 22years old and ive been competitive since the age of 5. :)

arrived to the bowl in Hörby now, just wanted to do a quick update and let you know im alive :)

will update you all later on how we did today and a also share a some good news.

I survived and today my legs, butt and shoulders are sore. mission completed! after gym I went back home, showered, made lunch and then off to the bowl for my first practice in 2weeks. just wow hahaha that felt so weird but it was fun. we bowled a 2game bet, me, Josefine, Rasmus and Johan. girls against the boys. who won? of course the girls won!! and by over a 100pins. ha! kicked ass. :)

morning cardio

Publicerat 2014-07-09 00:05:56 i Allmänt
4:30am morning run. not really by choice but I gave up my attempts on falling asleep. since its summer it was already light outside I thought I would go out for a run. plan was to run down to the beach but halfway there I could feel my knee so I decided to run towards the short route in the woods cause the surface is softer there. a few meters down the road in the woods I just had to stop. a deer was running across. beautiful creature. and while I was standing there wacthing bambi slowly passing by I felt some creactures crawling on my arms. MOSQUITOS!
the ate me alive.
bastards! haha

I was home a little over a hour later, had breakfast and went to bed again at 7.30am. up around noon to try and get something done today. went up to my parents house to get some stuff done, hangout and not fall asleep. had dinner with them before going home. 😍

still awake, its 12am. just watched two movies - red dragon and I miss you. ready to get some sleep now.

tomorrow is gym and later on dinner with Emma ♡

new week
started with me sleeping in
hehe
sunday was spent on the outdoor restaurants downtown for some lunch and drinks. everyone else were drinking but I was mostly miserable with the heat and my hangover combined with lack of sleep. I enjoyed every single minute with my friends this weekend, we had the best time and it was so much fun being back home again and just enjoy life.
I kinda forgot about the timedifference and also forgot to get the amount of sleep I might have needed so when we were done eating, we went to play some miniature golf and he is when it all happened. I just felt terrible and I had to leave the other to go home and get some sleep. I thought I tricked my body to come into the right time zone but I was wrong. hehe
when I came back home around 9.30pm I laid down on the couch and watched a movie. fell asleep and woke up right before midnight. brushed my teeth and went to bed, started another movie which I fell asleep to. 15h my alarm went off. 3pm. and I felt I could've slept longer if I would allow myself but no - I just had to get up.

cancelled practice cause I still felt sick/too tired
watched some tv
took a shower
dinner at my parents house
now back on the couch

who knows when I will fall asleep again?

anyways. had an amazing weekend with the most amazing people in my life. thanks guys. cant wait for next weekends adventure. just booked one of the craziest things ive ever done. friday it is!!

Publicerat 2014-07-05 13:43:40 i Allmänt
the last two weeks has been the most challenging and most disappointing weeks of my bowling career.

I have been working so hard the last year and especially the last 6 months for this tournament and I just fucked it up. I have a hard time believing in myself and I feel so tiny right now on the lanes. im trying to create something that isnt there, trying to figure out problems but I keep making it bigger problems instead. I just cant go out there and just bowl and enjoy it anymore. I dont know why. I dont know when I lost that sparkle. this is what kept me from writing and updating on here. I havent had the energy to do anything other than bowl, sleep and eat. I think I have lost a part of myself on the way. I love my dedication, I love working out, I love practicing, I loved my lifestyle but I think it got a little too serious. I couldn't really let go and just be my at times. I am serious about this game, I am serious about my career but I need to allow myself to be serious in my kind of way. to be able to relax and just enjoy life too.

this may not make sense to you but I think I had to write it down and to actually read it myself to understand and let go. I need to take a few days to figure out my next season, new goals and new adventures. how to get back to where I once was but a stronger version of it. I need to find a way to combinate hard work, dedication and life.

anyone having any great ideas please share.

I am sorry for bad update.
and while im at it:
thanks for all the support from you guys. it means the world to me & right now I need it more than ever.
