An Iceland-er in Stockholm <3

Wow, the photo is so dim... Anyway, if you didn't know who we were in the photo, wouldn't it be hard to guess who of us was from Iceland? xD

Kuya Garri was here for nearly 24h, just arriving from Vienna then the next day (today) moving onwards going home to Reykjavik (oh wow I learnt how to spell it). We picked him up from Arlanda and was at our place at around 4 pm. We just enjoyed each other's company here at home until 6pm, then trying desperately to catch the malls. In the end it became Kista Gallerian. Once the shops closed, Kuya Garri, Criss, Ate and I went back to our place, spending the night together whereas the others went home.

To be honest, I haven't had proper sleep for two days now, and that's very rare considering that it's the holidays and it's school tomorrow. Why? Well, first of all, I didn't sleep when we picked Kuya Garri up, and then we didn't really sleep when he was here. Not being able to meet him since last summer, we had loads of catching-up to do. After watching Gabriel, Brüno and Seven Pounds (never cried so much in a movie before) after one another, we just decided to catch up with things and "chill". It's amazing to hear one's new stories since we last met and also one do realises that time passes by real quick.

I can't believe that it was only months ago since:
  • I happily went from school to summer vacations with an award
  • I was in Greece for almost two weeks making another extended family I just got to know there
  • I was singing with 3000+ people from all over the world in Stockholm
  • I was in Turin together with 400+ other Catholics my age from around Europe
  • I was in Vienna to be in Lisabel's debut :)
  • I was in Marseille in their wonderful beaches
Now recently during this autumn:
  • I happily went from school to the Christmas break with the Pavlovian "Dog Bone Award"
  • I was in Åsljunga, Skåne, making another extended family I just got to know there
  • I have been singing in my choir in so many different concerts
  • I was in Vadstena with 400+ other Catholics my age from around Sweden
  • I was in Oslo to be in the Nordic PDA
  • I have been around Stockholm to see its wonderful snow (?)
Well as you see, a lot has happened, and I can't believe everything is happening so quickly. There are similarities to what has happened a few months ago and to what has happened this autumn if you may have noticed. To be honest I didn't realise the similarities myself until now. Quite interesting though.

However, despite the new things that do happen as you notice as time goes by, there are things that do stay the same, or even develop - if you treat it right. Change doesn't always have to be a bad thing. An example would be yourself, your skills and of course even friendships. I guess my perfect example of this for now, would be Kuya Garri from Iceland. Despite that long time we haven't seen each other and the distance from Sweden to Iceland, we still keep contact and of course keep the friendship. I guess it's nice to know that even if everything is changing, your friends' availability to you never will.
