The Music Box

 Three of my favourite pictures from my trip to Tokyo in April 2012

I thought I'd share a story with you today. It's not an exciting story or something like that but it actually means a lot to me. I don't know if I've talked about Tokyo on this blog before, I probably have. But even if I've told you before, I'll tell you again. I don't feel at home here in Copenhagen or any other place for that matter, only with one exception. Tokyo. I feel at peace and at home when I'm in Tokyo. And I find myself dreaming of going back almost everyday. My point is that this city has my heart and I have no explanation for that. But some significant things for my life and decisions have taken place in Tokyo and today I'll share one of them with you. But mind you, it might now make any sense why it means so much to me.

In one of the shopping districts in Tokyo, I sadly can't remember which, there's an antique traditional japanese shop in midst of a very fancy and expensive shopping street. I've been there twice and I love that shop to pieces. It's so delicate and beautiful. This time on the 3rd of April 2012 I went in not expecting to find what I found. I found a small handmade wooden red laquered music box. I despite the colour red, but it was so beautiful I had to see it. At first i didn't notice it was a music box, but as I took it I noticed the little key to wind it up. So I did wind it up and when I opened the lid the most beautiful melody played. It was beautiful but at the same time it sounded a bit tragic. It was a sort of melancholy song. I fell in love with it. But the music box was handmade and had a hand-painted crane in beaten gold. So needless to say it was really expensive and I did not have enough money to buy it. I was very sad when I left the store but eventually let it go. 

I've searched for the song on and off since that day and I've never found it. Until a week ago. I have no idea how I found the video but I just stumbled upon it and when I heard the song I felt so overwhelmed. I felt a stinging in my heart and I felt so relieved I've never experienced something like that in my life before. I listen to this song if I'm stressed, sad, confused or troubled. I can't explain why, but this song means a lot to me and I just wanted to share it. I hope you managed to get through my little story and I know that the song is definitely not for everyone, but I hope you liked my story anyways.

I just wanted to share a few things from Etsy that I really like. I've been so busy with school, but I still intend to make a "What I got for Christmas" post.

2013

Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a good night and all that. This was the only picture I took yesterday. I spent the most of the evening alone, by choice, I wanted to stay in relax and watch some movies. So I made dinner and drinks for myself while I watched Lord of the rings (which resulted in this photo booth picture haha). Around 10pm I went to a dinner party where the rest of my family were and spent the rest of the night there. 

Music I

These are some of the songs I've been listening to the past month or so. They are a all a bit different to each other and I admit that my music taste is really weird and really mixed as well. The funny thing is I actually have no idea of how I find new songs I like. I don't listen to radio and I don't watch music channels on TV. I just kind of stumble across songs through series, movies and randomly on Youtube. I know some of these song probably aren't for everyone but I quite like all of them.

Organized

So it's been quite a while since my last real post. And sadly it's because I've been really ill, but I am finally all good again. First of all I hoped you had a great Christmas! I certainly did. Yesterday I went out shopping since the sales have started. And one of the things I got was a clear makeup organizer from Sephora. And it is just perfect! I love it so much and I only paid about £23, which is rather cheap in my opinion. I bought some other stuff too, but I want to make a big haul post one of the coming days also including my christmas presents. Hopefully I will see you soon.

Absence and illness

About 4 weeks ago I started feeling ill and I've only recently started feeling okay again (even though I started taking penicillin pretty quickly). Therefore I haven't been able to do anything lately and that naturaly means I had nothing to blog about + I was too ill to blog. But hopefully I will return very very soon. Happy Christmas!

New In - Bag

I was in need of a smaller bag for when I go clubbing or just run errands. Luckily stumbled upon this very wonderful bag from H&M.
