We are, who we are

2007-07-11T02:02:51+02:00

But how
Can two people
That is so alike
Be so different?

How
can we see
Exactly the same thing
But experience it
So differently?

Why
Does what I say
Mean something
totally different to you
Than what I meant
When I said it?

NB. This is a translation of the previous post. I personally think that the Norwegian version of the poem is better.

Vi er, de vi er

2007-07-11T01:46:16+02:00

Men hvordan
Kan to mennesker
Som er så like
Være så forskjellige?

Hvordan
Kan vi se
akkurat det samme
men oppleve det
så forskjellig?

Hvorfor
Betyr det jeg sier
Noe helt annet for deg
Enn det jeg mente
Da jeg sa det?

The "official" McDonalds song, made by two of my coworkers :)

I'm leaving

2007-04-27T03:14:07+02:00

I’m heading off to the Philippines in a couple of hours.
I will be back on may 14th.

Update

2007-03-22T03:17:26+01:00

Sorry the long time between updates, but I have been really busy lately. I’ve been working many hours at McDonalds, making sure people get their amount of (un-)healthy food for the day.

A McDonalds update is that they have a new hamburger now called Chili feast Jr. It is really good, but I still like the Big Tasty best :)

Since last time I’ve got:

-a summer job in Skien (where my family lives), so I get to spend all summer with them :)

-a tattoo on my stomach :) It was extremely (!!!) painful getting it, but absolutely worth it :)

- tickets to Josh Grobans concert in Oslo on May 18th! Can’t almost wait:)

I’m going back to the Philippines

2007-02-06T16:52:50+01:00

So now it has happened, or is going to happen! I’m traveling to the Philippines with Bergen bible school (witch includes one of my flat mates (Silje), and one of my neighbors). We are leaving on April 27 and coming back to Bergen on May 13 (My 21 birthday).

Benyamin, The composer

2007-01-25T08:28:44+01:00

I just "discovered" this great pianist and composer. His name is Benyamin and the amazing thing is that he is only 10 years old! The thing I love is that he does not only play, but he plays with soul. If you want to hear his other composition or hear him play some other songs, just click here to go to his profile on youtube.

I just love his newest composition, It’s called True love

What style do you think suits me the best?

2007-01-25T08:29:05+01:00

Thank you!

2007-01-09T11:40:36+01:00

So here comes a list of some of the stuff I am thankful for:

  + I am privileged to know you, and be a part of your lives!

  + Even though I don’t see all of you that often, I am truly grateful for knowing you!
- My flat mates
  + I could never dream of better people to live with than you!
- My life
- God
  + You are always near, giving me strength and hope. You’re never changing and always loving. Thank you for being my father!
- Kristent Fellesskap (Christian Fellowship, my church)
- A nice apartment
- Good neighbors
  + I always have fun with you!
- Music
  + I could not live without it!
- All those small but precious moments in life that so many take for granted

- My BigMac (My Macintosh computer)
- My future
  + I know that I have good things too look forward to
- The ability to travel all over the world, and meeting new people

I survived Christmas at the Nilsens

2006-12-27T12:02:11+01:00

This Christmas has been quite different from what I’m used to. My family and I decided not to celebrate together this year, to make this Christmas easier. I got the privilege to celebrate Christmas with my “other family”, the Nilsens. Evan thought it was a little sad because it was the first Christmas after my dad died, it was a really nice day. It was a day of good food, coffee, presents, laughter and learning new things about the Nilsens. I had a lot of fun.

On the 25 I went to visit my “grandparents” Irene and Per Erik Olsen. They have been friends of my family since I was a kid. One of their kids, her husband and their kids was there too. We had good food and fellowship.

The truth about me

2006-12-17T19:58:30+01:00

There is something about me I have been trying to hide from people for many years, and suppress hoping it might “go away”. But recently I have decided not to be ashamed anymore!
I know this might change the way people think about me or my judgment on certain areas... but I don’t care anymore...
The truth is that I love boy-band music!!! Yes, I’m talking about Backstreet boys, *Nsync, Nick Lachey and that type of music :)

Hverdags liv

2006-12-04T18:30:00+01:00

I hverdagens stress er det viktig å ikke bare leve, uten å virkelig leve. Ikke leve i stresset som så lett kan oppta oss. Men gripe hverdag.
Leve som om vi ikke har lang tid igjen, men samtidig leve som om vi skal leve lenge. Vi vet aldri hvor lang tid vi egentlig har.
Det er viktig å prioritere det som er viktig, og nedprioritere andre ting som ikke er så viktig. Tenke hva er viktigst, for eksempel å ha ett stort og fancy hus, og jobbe en del ekstra, eller bruke den ekstra tiden på familien og ha ett mer ”vandlig” hus.
Det er som regel de små tingene som gjør livet godt å leve. Som for eksempel det å bruke tid med venner og familie, ha gode samtaler, middager eller bare se en film. Det er ikke nødvendigvis ting som koster mye penger som betyr noe.
Det er også viktig å prioritere hverandre. Dele byrder, men også dele gleder. Løfte hverandre opp. Være til velsignelse for hverandre. Det går som regel begge veier. Man er en velsignelse for noen, og de er en velsignelse for deg.
Det er viktig å se hvor stor påvirkningskraft vi faktisk har på hverandre. Vi har makten til å forandre hverandres liv. Det er viktig å tenke over hva vi gjør med den makten…

To all my English readers, I will translate this later and post it here, until the, learn Norwegian! :)

This is a beautiful song from Sarah McLachlan called river:

I'm not 20

2006-11-16T21:24:36+01:00

So I took this test on the Internet, to see how old I really am… And well… I’m not as young as I always thought I was…

You Are 27 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
