GigabyteGirl

for you who voted for me in the GigabyteGirl competition;
I just wanna say that I won and that I got a mail today:

"Hi Girls!

Internal procedures always take sooo long – I applied your prizes from our Headquarters (MB+VGA and the 2 Samsung prizes)

Hope you can receive them during next week.

To shorten the time until you receive the “real” prize, I prepared a nice gimmick package today ;-)

Will write email again to all of you when the prizes are on the way.

Take care and have a nice evening, best regards, Kristina"





So thanks alot for all the votes! =)

Much love/Nova


Lost without you

It makes my heart melt to have all the sweetest friends around me, even if many of you are far away. It really makes me believe that there is still ppl around the world that makes something good for the world we're living in.
I hope you all know what you mean to me and that it's ppl like you who shines and bring joy, love and hope to this world!
Without ppl like you the world would be lost!

Nova secret #7:
Love playing football, hate watching it


Holiday!

Wohooo! Got holi now in 4 weeks :) that means: spending time with family, dog, friends and my beloved snowboard!
Just gonna chill and try not to stress up as I've been for the last past 4-5 months. Besides since I had my new own group all I've been is stressed, dunno why. It wasn't really a perfect group from the start, and far as good as my old group (we were the ultimate team for sure).
4 weeks with just doing what ever I feel for!
I might will be in a small snowboard cometition this year too, longing for the feeling snowboard brings!

love the smell of my dogs paws


Rise against!

Love Rise Against new album Appeal to reason, here is one of my fav. song, enjoy! 

Rise Against - Hero of war

Basker

I know, long time since I wrote last time. As I said before, we really dont got any freetime while we are there, and on the weekends when we do get to go home I spend it with friends/family and the weekend pass so fast it feels like it's over in 5 hours..

Nevertheless, got some good news. Nova has become leader of her own group.
On my plotoon we got 4 groups, 3 out of thoes 4 groups got a real officers as a leader in thier groups, the 4th group, where I'm the only leader in my group without officer, was a very wanted post.
Never thought I was gonna get this position, we were 25 candidates for 1 leader post. I'm a lucky bastard that the officers likes me and gave me the best position.

Next week we will have our big 'soldier test' as we in Sweden call 'Basker'
It's a test, where our officers leads us out in the woods, alone. and ofenly with no food, no sleep and just gives us orders to do different stuff, and puts us in situations where we have to think and handle as soldiers and as a team.
If we pass these 3-5 days we can call our selfs soldiers and can go home with our uniformes and baskrar (kind of a special hat).

It's much harder than it sounds, having heavy bags on your back, freezing, haven't slept much, no food, and have to keep your mates on good mood, help them and keep on going thoes long marches, plus you have to be 'awake' incase of enemy and be ready to tell your group how to handle the situation when u hardly can think at all.

well I can only imagine how hard this will be, next week I know for sure how it's like.

Love /Nova


Nova secret #5:
I snusar (swedish tobacco u put under your lip)


make me forget

Two more weeks in the green has pasted, these weekes were spent in the woods, that means: no real food, no showers, no sleep, no connection to the outworld... and with hard and difficult missions, which is not the perfect combination. but I've learned alot, feels like I've grown more already, as a person.
been shooting and learned how to thrown granades (fun as hell).

you ofenly dont even got time to think about other stuff than army stuff, but when you do you really realize how much you miss things like friends, family and love.
Maybe thats good too, mean then u value thoese things even more


UB40 - Red red wine



Nova secret #4:
I talk when I sleep

wish

Old song is making it's comeback in my MP3

Alien Ant Farm - Wish

Green, green, fucking greeeeeen

Dont really got much spare time at all, thats why I've not been online for a long time.
But I really love the army, sure it's hard as hell and they try to break u down, push u til the limit but it's a great challange and I got great friends around me, together it's much easyer. And now to the big question everyone always ask me; How many of u are girls? -We are 7 girls out of 26 ppl, so it's not that bad.
I have to brag a little, I actually got surprised my self, I was the best shooter, first 3 bullets on 5secunds in the same hole, then out of 5 bullets in a timelimit on 5secunds I shoot all in the same hole, one just a millimeter away from the others, our officer called the boss to come watch it. which was kind of a nice feeling..
U see!? all gaming finally payed off ;)

Besides I've become 'ställförträdande förtroendeman'' it means that our Platoon voted for me and another guy to become their link to the officers, so to speak.

Otherwise I really like it there, and there is no insulting-shit just because I'm a woman, it's the same for all of us irrespective of sex.
It's a big stressy place, 3 min to do this or that and 15 min to eat and go on bathroom.. thats why it feels so nice to come home and take it easy. (the problem is just that the weekends pass by so very fast, too fast. get home on friday night-back sunday afternoon)


Ps! I miss u all


Nova Secret #3:
I got 9 piercings, 8 is visible

Last day

Here we go!
My last free day, tomorrow I go to 'join the military'. which I do with mixed feelings.
Sucks to leave friends and family, can't travle and plan crazy trips together with them. But I'm also excited to join, new ppl and learning alots of new stuff. Hopefully it will go well, though I'm still a little sick. Still eating medicin for this crazy sickness I had in the beginning of the week.
Feel sorry for thoes who's gonna sleep in the same room as me, no I don't snore, but I'm crazy enough to have some influence on ppl.

Somehow it feels like I've done all I wanted before I join, with traveling and other stuff.
Aaaaand ofc I've spend alot of time with all my beloved friends before we all go separated ways. atleast some of u are still here when I got furlough.


Nova secret #2
I eat ice cream with a fork!

time stood still

it was a dream it was a dream it was a dream it was a dream it was a dream....

I've seen heaven, now back to reality



I'm living in a fairytale

24h traveling

I'm leaving Sweden for Norway in like 5 days, starting Thursday 16/7. (back 20/7-21/7)
I go with bus to Oslo and then change to train. first of all, my bus and the train doesn't match at all, so I got to wait for like... ages. I arrive to Oslo in the evening (thursday) and I got to catch a train in the morning (friday) so it means I got to spend the night in Oslo, and nope, I've never been there before, but I'm sure it's not that bad. I was thinking of maybe go out on a pub or something, just take a beer and chill all night..that must be better than stay alone in a closed trainstation?!
I know two persons living in oslo, but they are not at home, so that really sucks. Especially when i really don't understand a single word of the norwegian language..
Second of all, my bus takes 7 h to Oslo, and the train I got to catch later on the morning also takes around 7h..
I leave my home at 13.30 and arrive to Egersund 13.47 I think (the other day ofc).. thats a hell of a long trip, 24h to go from Sweden - Norway.

Anyone been in Oslo and knows some good places to go to by night time? I mean like a pub or something?!

I bet u think I'm crazy, spending a night alone in a city I dont know, and I guess u are right, it's insane!

Hairdresser

Today I went to the haridresser, and I had a pretty early appointmenttime and I was like a zombie cause I stayed up late the night before, til 4 I think.. yeah it's crazy, and yes I know I will have to try to change my diurnal rhythm, so I will get use to early mornings and not late nights.
But nevertheless.. she cut pretty much of my hair but it wasn't til today i really understood how long my hair was. now when it's cut and shorter it still reach too my tattoo, which is in the lower part of my back.
Thats nice! I've always wanted to have long hair, never realized that I had this long already =)


I'll start a new thing, everytime I write something here in my blogg, I'll tell u something u didn't know about me

This u didn't knew about Nova
I love potatos, I'm like Håkan i Sunes Sommar (swedish movie) I could eat only potatos, isn't that crazy?! ^^

These low lands

This is one of the best songs ever made, this really makes me relax and clamn down when I feel stressed,down or upset!
it takes me back on ground, I really hope u enjoy it as much as I do

btw, I know it's on finnish, but it's a great song. and if u read/translate the lyric, it's pretty nice too


ps! dont miss the great band Swallow the sun's cover on this song, little harder little deeper, and on english!
