When Jeremy Soul first invited me to attend his day game pick up artist boot camp for Love Systems, I was really excited. And then I felt really weird going to stalk a group a guys on learning how to pick up girls and then head out in the “field” to try out their newly learned skills.
Last week for eight hours I learned what men learned about women. Before you give me the smack down that dating systems are stupid and full of douche bags, the aim is what we girls always wanted: a nice guy that [...] Continue Reading…
It happened! The little Swedish boy proposed. O M G! OMG OMG OMG
The back story…
Today is our two year anniversary of first meeting. Since we started dating right after we met, well we are using the 18th as our anniversary. And as a friend pointed out, today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. Take that Blue Monday!
We decided on Sunday to take a nice walk around Södermalm in the afternoon. We went home shortly after sunset, drank Pol Roger champagne, did home pedicures. I had this really cool scraper to clean [...] Continue Reading…
Last week I asked what you would like to see on the blog for 2010. You can still take the poll for another week but here are the current results:
A whooping 21% want to see more stuff about dating. If people choose it because it was the first on list, this could result in a slight bias. Never fear, I will cover lots more about dating and sambo life in Sweden.
Next up 16% chose answers about living in Sweden and 10% chose anything about Sweden. Basically, I will do more to write about successfully moving, [...] Continue Reading…
It’s been a long time since I wrote anything about dating in Sweden. Frankly it’s a bit difficult when you are tied in a monogamous relationship that is quite happy. I mean, no one, not even myself, wants to hear about how happy and mushy gushy a relationship is.
But now it is winter and -25C outside and time to start writing, serious writing, Henry David Thoreau style.
In a week I will be joining in, as a special visitor to a day game seminar and field training on how to pick up beautiful women. And these [...] Continue Reading…
Today is Epiphany. Not the epiphany you have when you realize something (although the meaning is derived from the holiday) but the holiday. Basically January 6th ends the Twelve Days of Christmas and is celebrated when the Magi visits Christ. In Eastern Christian traditions, Epiphany is celebrated as Jesus Christ being baptized in the Jordan River by St. John the Baptist.
In Sweden, Epiphany is called Trettondagen in swedish. It is also an official red day in the country so all companies are off.
As for me, I’ll celebrate this holiday that we have a day off [...] Continue Reading…
On the 23rd morning, Porbjorn and I, and the rest of Sweden began our journey for Christmas break. This year, we went to Sälen, a ski town in central Sweden, close to the Norwegian border.
To get there, we had to take a bus. Luckily a direct bus. Because coming back to Stockholm we would be blessed by taking the car, bus, train, another train, and the tunnelbanan.
At 8.20 in the morning we arrived, bright, happy and stressed at Stockholms CityTerminaln, the city bus station. Being Swedish, and therefore being super organized, there is a lovely Arrivals and [...] Continue Reading…
happy happy joy joy 2010!!!
Okay, Christmas has passed but happy belated wishes to everyone. It’s been a crazy 2009 and I hope all of you had the opportunity to spend it with someone(s) special.
I went up to Sälen, a ski town, in central Sweden for four days. Here are some photos below. We did have some very traditional Swedish decorations and watched Kalle Anka at 3PM on the 24th. Of course, what else would you be doing?
And now for a happy happy new year and to have a wonderful 2010. Woo!
With all good things during the Christmas season comes sad tidings. On the 24th morning, my grandfather passed away. He had Alzheimer’s and was in poor health; his passing I believe relieved his pain.
I wish I had some pictures to scan of him but hopefully when in India, I can find some. It’s hard to grieve for someone when family and the sadness is far away; it’s like being in another world.
But here’s to my pappaji who was a wonderful man. And while he died on Christmas Eve, his spirit lives on through the [...] Continue Reading…
I was eating a delicious lamb roast when we got into the discussion of Swedish women. Because of course Swedish girls are like little lambs: soft, sweet, and delicate.
There were a couple friends who happened to be single males, and well, sans blond Swedish girls. Of course, one single Asian girl (on her quest to find a Swedish man in Sweden) had to ask the single boys why they were not sambos yet. The answer: Swedish women are formal in nature and too feminist. The guys said there was no spark. No silly fun with the women they dated. [...] Continue Reading…
Saturday nights in Sweden are normally filled with booze, stupid behavior, and downright ridiculously funny antics.
Like the guy who leaves the nightclub so drunk that he pees next to a police car (true story). Or a bouncer who punches a potential customer because he’s pissed off. Or the fact that a friend drinks so much alcohol, he’s not quite sure how he got home at 7am wearing someone’s cowboy hat.
Every once in a while though, the debauchery comes to you, first class, to your front door. Saturday night, Porbjorn and I were hanging out [...] Continue Reading…
