100% love

Soo the other day I came home to a wonderful surprise.. My boyfriend picked me up from work and drove me home where He had bought a 100 roses i different colors and shaped it in a huge heart... I was so choked that I ran out of the door and he wet on to get me saying: "You are not the type of girl who gets a bouquet.. You are that special who deserves a 100 roses" This is by far the most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me.. i thanked him from the bottom of my heart letting him know how much I appreciate what he does for me and for our love.. And basically this is one of the ways to keep your relationship fresh and romantic and new. There were so many flowers that I had to use 3 vases

I've been through this for too long

Just as I thought that I was way over racism and kept my distance from people who are racist it seems not to be enough -.-'  it will always find me.

Last Thursday  I experienced something so insulting that  it makes me sick  thinking about it.
It all started with my hubby picking me up from a late night shift ( I think it was at 4.00 in the morning) and we drove to get some late night food. We then stopped at a gas station to fill up the car and as we were finished a police car was suddenly there. However, one of the two policemen was looking very intense on us but we didn't care much about it, so we got back in the car and drove on. Five minutes after, they were behind us and the car was lighting blue, so my hubby pulled over and they came and asked him whether it was his had a driving license and if the car he was driving was his and he could answer yes on both questions. Then they asked him for an ID and asked him who I was and if I had some sort of ID, and they interrupted him asking me who I was and whether I could speak Danish. I said yes and they then asked me for my ID, so I gave it to them (In anger).
They then went back to the car to check up on us and when they came back one of them said "oh so you are dating, so she is you are girlfriend?" (My anger was pushed to the limits at this point.) They then told us that it was just a regular check up -yeah right, like I believe that...
 I believe that the main reason they did it was;
  1. It was a Thursday night, and they saw two young people out that late.
  2. Two young people... No no, let me rewind that... Two "not Danish looking" young people in a car - they must have stolen it, cause they can't afford it.
  3. A white guy at this time of hour with a black girl in his car - She an illegal immigrant
  4. A black girl in a white guy's car at this time of hour - She must be a prostitute.  
I am not exaggerating ( I wish). Nevertheless, I know that some black girls out there know exactly what I mean. Extreme stereotyping!
It's enough already when people judge me, but for the police to stop me just because of that! this is where I lost all respect I never had for the Danish policemen. Not to mention ever other police in the world apart form those who are in the game for good deeds.

I not only addressing the police, but the country I live in too! I came to this country to escape the madness and the sorrow that was going on in my own. And the funny fact is that they welcomed me with open arms, saying that I no longer have to worry.... Today 10 years after I see myself being bitter this nation, because of the things they put us through.
As a black girl/woman here, I'm named to be a gold digger and a passport-hunter. So there is no good in me being in a interracial relationship or walking down the streets with a white male friend. I even remember my mother telling me about how she and her friends weren't allowed to have dinner on a luxurious café because the owner was scared that they might be one of the things I mentioned. Seriously it makes me sick to my stomach!! How can some people (in this case, most of Denmark) be so ignorant? - has is something to do with who black girls represent themselves here? or are some Danes just hateful toward immigrants?
- Both I guess! -

So I'm addressing the black females too, those who puts us in a another shade of black - bad light -

It's about time YOU stand up strait and start carrying yourself like a proper ladies!  Why get dirty money while they are calling cheap, when you can get your own?  I see a lot of insecurities.  Believe yourself  and build your own empire.... You don't need no white man with money to show you the goods in life. Money is not everything. The same dollar you run for, that was so important then, will not be there defending you later
And to you looking for a passport - leave it, it was not meant to be.... Don't leave your entire life in a white man's hand to rule it, we are over slavery!  Yes the circumstances in Africa are poor but find a way, it's not impossible!

Personally I am tired of getting looks from some white people down the streets cause my man isn't the same colour as me. I tried of people assuming that I have lack of intelligence.

 Naaaaaa, my parents didn't work hard for me to be viewed different, my parents didn't prepare my future for you to ruin, they didn't sacrifice what they had for you separate me from the rest of the sociality -world-
Simple as that

That Solange

I know that this song have been out for a while now, but I simply have to share it with you, cause I'm so in love with it.... From the video to the vocals to the beat - Simply perfection! She never disappoint me whenever it come to her music....
It has this African touch and gives me this summer feeling every time i listen to it...  It's a feel-good song and has a really great vibe!  defiantly on my replay :)

He inked it and listened to Beyonce

.....
Don’t treat me to the things of this world

I’m not that kind of girl

Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve

Here is a man that makes me, then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you WANT
......

June 11th was the day Alexander popped the question and on the 13th September we got matching tattoo's with the number 11 :) cute right hehe...

Now that we are engaged the wedding and all that is not something that we are in a hurry to do, even though people may think so just because we are engaged at a "young age". We wanna take our time and enjoy being young (and stupid).
Marriage is something serious for me. It is something that I'd like to have time to think about, so I don't end up like one of those people who get divorced.  It's not that I don't love my man (only God knows how much I love him) but  I think that marriage requires a mature mentality and your heart at the right place... It should not be a spontaneous thing or arranged it should just  feel natural. Sadly there is a loooot of people in this world  who are getting married for the wrong reasons and I simply don't wanna be a part of it!
I personally want to grown as an individual and as a woman in able to give my all to the person I love and know that I'm getting married for all the right reasons -honesty-commitment-passion-


The how it happened part 


So, he came and met my mother and told her, ‘I'm in love with your daughter, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. We want to live together… So I want to ask you for her hand’ My mom was pretty cool about it and gave him her blessings. Nevertheless, one day out of nowhere while we were having a deep conversation he asked me to marry for the second time and I said yes. Later on that week  he told he parents that we were engaged. 
And to mark the date we got the number 11 tattooed, why?  well because it's a "ring" we never can take of, it will be with me no matter what, just to remind me of that my love for him is something that will stay with me forever.

He managed to surprise me again the day after his birthday, by giving me his grandmothers wedding ring :0 I seriously was about to die  at this point, just to think that I had inherit something out of true love.
His grandparent met right about the same age as us and they were together for about 47 years and for me that is true love :) And that's why I'm so luck to carry something that symbolizes that kind of love that I want to have with him. 


This is such a bliss and it's gotta be the most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me.  And I truly  hope that our love will last forever, as I at this point can't see a life without him, as he still that guy who can give me  butterflies and make me fall in love over and over again. 





I really hope for everyone(every girl) that they will  get to experience love like this, cause there is no greater feeling that love. It keeps you smiling and alive, and you feel like you can conquer anything  in this world.... 
Now it's been 18 months since we've been in love 
And you keep doin' things to show your proud of 
Thirty beauties in the room only me you see 
The confidence you give, lives in me I vow to never break your heart or never let you down 
For better or worse, I'll always be around And with you here, to share my life so complete 
And because of you I know how it feels to be

Coffee to go with a permanent smile

I've never thought that I would ever drink coffee, matter of fact I hate the smell and the taste of it! However I do remember  the first time I took a sip of it, and that was back in 9th grade when I had to prepare for my chemistry exams. It tasted like .... but I had to keep myself up.  Ever since I've had some coffee whenever it was necessary. Lately my day starts at 6.30 /7.00 and to get used to that I need to keep up my energy -.-' cause working in bakery is actually hard cause you have to be active all the time, that makes Coffee a part of my breakfast and you will find me i a coffee store before heading to work -  it's not that I  love it, but I gatta do what I gatta do. Haha :)

Being active means to keep smiling too and that can be hard. I mean it not that I'm a negative person or something like that but whenever I'm stressing or concentrated I tend to lose my smile even though I'm happy, I guess I just have a neutral face, and a lot of people can assume that I'm snobbish or moody(seriously sorry of my life).  I'm no robot, I was not programmed to keep smiling -.-' lol
A lot of people get so offended when they get  their bread  without a smile from me and I can truly understand - but come on, give sister a break.   
I'm kind  and humble when it comes to the customers but they still get the wrong impression if I forget to smile.  I think this have to do with the danish culture being so obsessed with getting people  to be more socialized(which includes smiling), sometimes they overdo it and it ends up being irritating.

Bakery Girl

As days goes by, my life keep taking new turns and I keep learning new things in life...Taking chances makes you feel alive, and no matter what anyone turns around and tells you. If you don’t do it in your youth, when are you going to do it? When you’re bloody 50?

For a bout two weeks ago I was at my very first job interview and it went very well and they hired me and my first day at work was on the 10th of Sep. in a bakery.

It started of well even though there were so so soooooo many important things to keep track of such as the rules, how to use my chip,were to meet in the morning... and the list goes on!
And I also got learn how to sell bread, cakes and such! that part was a bit easy cause it used to work in a bakery back in the days! although the system is different I took the chance and did it (being a bit nervous).
My working partner, Christine, is simply amazing she is so friendly and very relaxing to work with, she really helps me a lot and teach a few thing here and there. My other colleges are really kind unlike back then, when everybody was a bit stiff and arrogant, well that's what you get living in a upper middle-class community. 

I start at 8 in the morning and finish at 1600 ( it's kinda a 9to5 thing).  And I'm just about to get in the rhythm. However, the first week is the hardest cause I've got to get used to standing for 3h in a row and stressing around when there is a line of customers  but I somehow get the adrenalin kick when there is a lot to do at once... (haha).
Oooh so many positive things about my new job, I think I like it - but I'll give it one month or two and then it will be another story.. Heh :)

The Big minus is that my fiancé working hours doesn't mach with mine at all :/ I work in the morning and he at night, so the only time we have together is from 1600 to 2100 and then his off to work till 7 in the morning!
bad timing
 Now ain't that A Bitch.
Even at that amount of time we have together, is not enough cause either one of us is tired or frustrated or we are both stressed by the time instead of enjoying it!
Our everyday is changing bit by bit, not that that is bad, it's just that we have to get used to it, and I think that that is what's bothering us at the moment.
Instead of this

It's a bit of this...

My Libra is my true love



A Libra man is charming yet mysterious. He is dreamy as he is constantly changing his ideals and weighs all options before concluding anything. He knows what is going on in the world and listens to any debate with an open mind. He appears to be stubborn and irritable because of his affliction to listen diligently to all sides of a debate and create a fair and just conclusion. But he is basically a sentimental, considerate and intelligent man with an answer to all the questions. Hi smile captivates the hearts as well as his charisma and sensitivity makes him irresistible for any woman.
Pisces woman is very thoughtful, dreamy and extremely vulnerable. Her sympathetic nature overtakes her more often than not whether it is towards a friend or a stranger. Pisces lady’s womanhood is adored by most men. She appears meek and fragile to the monsters of the world and most men will feel the need to protect her. Pisces woman has a tendency to get pulled in two opposite directions. This inhibits her decision making capability and makes her weak willed. Pisces woman stands behind her lover through thick and thin whether she believes in what he is doing or not.

Put Libra together with Pisces and you will discover that they have a lot in common.  Both of them prefer a calm and quiet pace.  Pisces and Libra possess a strong natural artistic ability.  This common artistic knack ranges from painting, arts and crafts, to interior decorating.  They both are fond of music and dance as well.  They require a peaceful home environment that is pleasing to view.  Light colors in a room does wonders for both of them, especially Pisces.  Libra often goes out of their way to insure that beauty is constant in their surroundings, from matching color-coordinated dĂ©cor, to floral bouquets and comfortable quality furnishings.  These pleasures will always create a sense of harmony and balance for both of them.

Fish with Lime

  • 1 5-pound, two 2 1/2-pound, or three 1 1/2-pound head-on fish, such as gray or pink snapper, black sea bass, or branzino, scaled, gutted
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for oiling and drizzling
  • 2 limes or 5 Key limes (preferably from Mexico), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 bunch each basil and cilantro, stems and leaves separated
Preparation:
 
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Score fish: Cut 1 slash lengthwise down to the bone, then crosswise in 2 places, spacing apart; repeat on other side. Season fish cavity and skin with salt; drizzle fish with 1/4 cup oil. Stuff some of the lime slices (reserve a few for garnish) and herb stems inside fish.
Clean and oil grill grate well. Grill fish, resisting the urge to turn it, until skin is nicely crisp and charred and flesh is flaky and opaque down to the bone. (This can take 6-15 minutes, depending on size of fish. Don't mess around with it until it's ready.) Place a metal spatula underneath fish (a pair of metal tongs on top of fish also helps for support), then lift and gently roll over to the other side. Cook until flesh is flaky and opaque down to the bone, 6-15 minutes. Use a small knife to check for doneness; if it slides easily through the thickest part of flesh, fish is done. If not, finish cooking fish on grill or in a 450°F oven.

Cookies

 If there is something I'm addicted to at the moment, then it's cookies and I've found one grate recipe Chocolate chip cookies, from The New York Times

Ingredients:
2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour
1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds semisweet chocolate chips, at least 60 percent cacao content
Additional kosher salt
Directions:
Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add chocolate pieces and mix briefly, only until incorporated. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Scoop mounds of dough a little bigger than a golf ball onto baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 17 to 18 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. These are best eaten warm, of course.

Creating a home in the city

I met someone. A boy. A friend. A room mate. A soul-mate (but that's old news)
Now I think, would it have been fun to turn our flat into a home, if he hadn’t helped? 
When I came to the city, my goals were very clear. But now I know, the happiness of achieving these goals can only be felt when you have someone to share it with. Now I know, that the my unusual love for Copenhagen is actually for this friend. I’ve become attached to him more than this city.

Bollywood then & now

Well as you all know I am the biggest Bollywood fan eva'  and I love everything that has to do with it.
However they way Bollywod is changing is not exact my cup of the.... It's like they are trying to look like the western film industry (Bollywood goes Hollywod). To a certain point it was okay by remaking some Hollywood movies, by giving them a hint of masala, but come on , they must be a limit. I love Bollywood because it was different from Hollywood, and I do not want a Hollywood No. II.
These day it's a must that the heroine is presented in a very sexy way and has to be fit and the heroes must be shirtless (which means that it's not a Salman Khan thing any more) and so on. I don not want all that, I want a movie with a plot, not a movie that is based on fashion and who has the best bikini body.... You see back then it was Sholay, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Devdas, Mother India... But today all you find is bad acting and less effort -.-'  movies like Players, Golmaal 3, I Hate Luv Stories and the list goes on...  Even the magazines have changed:
Then
Now
Talented
Missing talent
I'm not saying that things should remain the same, but less body showing would be fine. I know that today's generation isn't the same as back them but come on.... Let Bollywood teach us dance and how to enjoy the brighter colours in life.  I just want it to be in a league of it's on and to do or be like everyone else, is that to much to ask for?
Recently I found out that the movie Aisha is a remake of  Clueless and the worst part of it all is that the movie really is a failure from the beginning to the end and the acting... Oh my dear lord... Sonam kapoor acting is as horrible as it can get -.-'  and I do not understand why they keep giving her roles to play, as fare as I know she haven't done anything impressive (yet) and  she doesn't even try to take acting classes.  The only thing she is good at is fashion, and why she doesn't stick to that is something that wonders me every time I see her in a movie.  And she is not the only one out there, a lot of these new comers are unimpressive  and they've got a lot to work on in able to deliver "IT" (magic on screen) it's like they don't have what it takes to play the Bollywood hero or heroine.

New Life


So about a week ago I graduated with a big smile on my face and ready to go back to my real life!
I took one last look at my fellow students and thought


Then I packed my things and moved from my tiny apartment in Jutland to a much bigger one with my boyfriend in Copenhagen...

"I’m in a very good place right now. I’m very happy. I’m growing up, and I’m really comfortable with myself. I’m getting wiser and smarter."
- Beyonce 

Now it's about new people, new job, new place and of course new challenges... 
follow me as I get to be the tiny girl in a big city ;)

That Love

So I come across this poem while I was reading my daily gossip. It is so sweet that i had to share, it's written by Boris Kodjoe(that handsome man) to his wify for their 7th anniversary ♥ Now how cute is that Huh?

My Seven Year Itch
You’ve always been my itch, so many ways you’ve touched my body, mind and soul from the moment He designed our paths to cross, finally.
You’ve always been my itch, so good to me I’ve wanted you day after day, night after night, making me wonder how my body was able to be without you all this while, before our very first touch.
You’ve always been my itch, giving wings to my thoughts, encouraging them to unforeseen heights, where I would build our castle in the sky, fit for a king and his queen.
You’ve always been my itch, filling my spirit with comfort and peace like I hadn’t felt since a child in Oma’s garden, so familiar and yet so new.
You’ve always been my itch. My seven year, seven days a week, 24/7 itch I always want, desire, crave, and never ever want to be without.
Not for seven seconds.
Nicole,
Happy 7th anniversary
Let’s do this again
I love you more
