From Jaipur with love

Namaste dear friends! Im sure many of you have been waiting for reports from the Princess of Norway. Well as earlier assumed and mentioned the internet access isnt as easy as back home.

Arrival Dehli. Cloudy, the airport was closed the day before due to really bad weather. Noisy, the massive amount of people in one place was just shocking. Horns from cars, shoutouts from cows and voices mixed in to it all made a beautiful coctail of what I call ORGANIZED chaos! I was in a deep cultural shock for the first 7 hours of my trip. What was a well planned arrival to Dehli with departure to Jaipur only hours after, ended up being a rather chaotic start to our adventure. Train got cancelled, it was dark, we were in the Old town of Dehli (Not recomended after dark with all your money and your passport) and got a BIT stressed out of the situation. But worldknown as we are, we gathered our minds and got in to a cab around 20.00h to go to the airport.

A nice hour away from the city we happily jumped out of the cab and almost danced our way to the airport entrance. "Ticket mam" .. "ehh.. we dont have one?!?" "then you are not allowed to enter mam" .. FOR #$*(&#$ what do we do now? This is when my patinece really came to a test, but since Im travelling with fantastic G, we just looked at eachother, lit up a sigarett and started laughing. And thanks to that - our beautiful smiles.. a nice young man came over and started talking, and SWUCH before we knew it we were at a nice hotel next to the airport where they gave us a fresh room with shower and toilet ( thats not a OFCOURSE in this country) , the receptionist helped us with the busplanning to get to Jaipur the next day.. so ladies and gentleman.. HERE I AM!! In Sarah Abrahams fantastic house, with the one and only Saerah Jane, Sarah, Guro and Nico.. And Im happy to announce that I am wildy in love with the girls, Jaipur, Indian Flavours, Organized Chaos, Holy cows and everything else that comes along with India!! Have to go, breakfast and elephant riding next!!

Ps. Its winter here in the North and Im travelling with only summerclothes ( didnt know it could be winter on one side of the country and summer on the other).. so that in itselves just shows how well this trip was planned. All of this ofcourse equals and proves that I HAVENT STARTED on the TANNING part yet.

Merry Christmas everyone

Good morning.
What a week.. Packing summerclothes, wrapping xmas presents, cleaning the boat, visiting family, working, eating xmas food here and there and then finally we met christmas day. A lot of preparation for ONE day, but yet it was a perfect day. Wonderful christmas weather, cold but clearblue sky, nice food and perfect company. Thanks to all of you for understanding that a 3week holliday in India requires extra pocketmoney and a Mp3 player..

Merry christmas everyone. 2 days until takeoff, indian vibes and good life.

Its sunday again..

Pepsi-max,grandiosa,thai take away,chips,dipp,chocolate,burger king,water,broccoli,burger,pineapple,banana,chill,movies,candlelights,friends,pyjamas.. Its sunday again

Christmas silence

Its a stormy day outside.. But on the inside its all warmth. The loveboat is filled up with candlelights, and the sound of Ahmir is pounding in the walls. Im home alone.. just chillin.. trying to enjoy the silence. Its this weekend of the year where most of the inhabitants of Oslo switch places. Old ones come back to mum and dad.. while my friends are travelling up north to meet their lovedones. Im blessed to have my family close all year long (except my mum and brother D) so Im celebrating Xmas in Oslo this year.. Merry merry Xmas family in Mo i Rana and New York. Wish we all could be together.

One year has passed so fast. We will be entering a new year within two weeks. Ive felt love in so many different aspects. I enjoyed a beauitful year with my x.. two beautiful twins was born in to the family. I am so proud of my brothers and the beautiful angels they have put on earth. Ive met so many wonderful new faces this year and have been lucky to work in a place where people make me laugh every single day. Ive traveled and met old friends again and last but not least, I live on a boat. A year full of adventure and new challenges has passed and a even more interesting is waiting right around the corner.

Im kicking off the new year in India. My heart is wide open and ready to let new people, cities, and happenings in. My camera is empty and ready to be filled up with great memories. Ive been waiting for you 2011.. I welcome you to rock my world more than ever. Xx Mia

I found a old schoolproject that i absolutely LOVE ! Our task was to make graphics/image for a plasticbag. We could choose whatever brand we wanted. Here`s mine..

The ultimate "home and sick in bed" movie

Im entering my 50th hour sick at home. Yesterday it started of with a really bad cold and a little fever. I was optimistic when I went to bed that TODAY would be a BETTER day, but I woke up worse. If you can tell me one thing that is more boring than staying home from work - ill give u a round of applause. Im now coming to realise that life without TV channels is harder than I thought. And a internet so slow that youtube wont even buffer doesnt really help.

I put on some good old dvd`s instead and layed back in bed.. The sweetest thing with Cameron Diaz, I had seriously forgot how funny that movie is! "My body is a movie.. and your penis is the star!!"

No babies.. No Weddings..

Still just a ordinary birthdayparty. Well ordinary might be the wrong word to use. Extraordinary when it comes to my group of friends. We are all happy, all single, we all enjoy life like there`s no tomorrow. And our biggest duties on sundays are to clean up yesterdays party, be hangover together in our pyjamas and laugh about yesterdays event. Still no babies, still no weddings... Pure fun with the besties!

Our december girl was the one and only Guro Elisabeth Fagerli. A blossoming flower whom Im very lucky to spend every day with.. in the boat, on the phone, at the parties and even on skype allthough we live together. She turned the nice age of 27, and ofcourse we had to rock the night away in honor to her.

Thanks for a lovely night guys.. some great memories, somethings we just want to forget, and some flashbacks that we just put in the secret box. But all in all a great party with a great group of friends for life.

So I finally thought that we were over the worst cold.. It went from -18 to -8 in a day. The sun was shining, I enjoyed a 3 hour walk, and I could even put on my Allstars when I went to work. And then I woke up this morning, and the first thing I saw was the smoke coming out of my mouth. Yes ladies and gents, I live on a boat and this is the price I have to pay! Im not complaining.. Im just sayin`:) -20..boat or not! Its still GOD DAMN COLD!!! Suggestions to indoor activity if there`s not a TV in the house?

Do you want to help a little girl drink clean water? Go H&M

Water is an important issue both to H&M, our customers and the communities where we operate. Therefore, H&M and UNICEF have joined together in a global Holiday campaign to give children access to clean water and basic sanitation. H&M will start off the campaign by donating USD 150 000 to UNICEF’s water project. Our customers can contribute to the campaign by making a donation to UNICEF and its important water and sanitation work in our stores (Source: H&M.com)
The initiative is great. You can buy a set of 6 stickers for 50NOK to put on ur giftwrapping. Or one sticker for 10NOK. Give it away with the present for christmas and show that you have helped to build up water in a poor country.
Great present, great feeling, great initiative

Mum.. the most wonderful woman in the world

Can you tell me what creates a perfect mum?

A perfect mum is a woman that never forgets what she has done, what she has been through and what she`s experienced. A perfect mum is a woman that asks her daughter if she is in love, how work is, how the friends are doing, future plans etc.. A perfect mum calls her daughter 2 weeks before coming home to ask what she wants for dinner the day of arrival.. A perfect mum cares and shows unconditional love 24/7.

Let me introduce to you my mum, Vigdis Sandberg. A lady that puts everything aside for her children, and even forgets about her own life sometimes. As you gave me "the daughter of the month" award, im telling you : It takes a perfect mum to make a good daughter.

One of those perfect days..

Its cloudy today..
Not to cold but kindof grey and boring weather.
I got my fridge filled up with fresh vegetables and half of a chicken waiting to be made into a salad later this afternoon.. It saturday, im under the blanket, got all the candlelights lid up, just read the morning news.. Its saturday.. The hotchocolate tasted extrodinary good this morning, and I didnt even add cream. Guess its just one of those days!:) have you ever taken something for granted? I think Ive taken a chilled saturday inside for granted. I keep catching myself in ALWAYS overbooking when Im off work. But today I just have 2 plans.. Chill and CHILL!!

Boatgathering today with the favorites.. Its saturday... Just one of those perfect days!

The new.. M.I.A

Shorter, darker & fresh.. Time for a change, might aswell start with a boat and the hair.. What comes next? Challenge me..

The past is never forgotten..

I was going through my old Itunes playlist and came over this song. Its still sooo heartbreaking to me! That little voice is speaking for so unbevliably many children out there who lost their mum, dad, uncle, aunt, grandpa or grandma.. And even now, after so many year since 9/11, it still gets to me.

Guess what I want to say, that eventhough something has passed, doesnt mean that its forgotten. And eventhough people dont talk, doesnt mean their not crying on the inside.. Share the love folks & be there for your loved ones:)

Have a good night

The "deep" Mia is going to bed, and coming back as the "funny and positive" mia tomorrow :)

Neew week, new oportunities, new impulses and hopefully a new week without snow.

The feeling of being in love.. with nothing..

Have you ever had that feeling that u get butterflies in ur stomach? You laugh uncontrolably for NO reason what so ever?.. You have a feeling of being in love, but your not.. I`ve had that feeling for the last days, could it be the boat? I find myself smiling and giggling for myself, I want to enjoy a glass of wine just for the the taste of it, I actually plan my weekends outfit already. Whats going on? Is it a clisje to say that I feel like a new person?

Life is pretty good now days.. No worries and just pure happyness. I have a feeling something amazing is right around the corner. Or maybe its here now?

I was thinking about it today when I left work. I saw two tourists taking pictures infront of the harbor. They proudly presented the boats in the background. And I was thinking to myself; Oh my god, Im actually living somebodys dream.. How often do we get to say that?? :)

Days like this...

....make it all worth it. What a feelin waking up to sunrise, silent water and a hot shower while overwatching the sea. Ahhh .. Living on a boat is better than expected :)
