The Cyprus-trip

I was afraid I'd be bad at updating this blog, but here's a small update to tell you I'm not dead. I can be inactive sometimes, especially now when I have a life to live and lots of school work to take care of. Just so you know!

As I've told earlier, me and my mom has been in Cyprus this summer after my summerwork was done. It was wonderful, I had a great time there and it's was fun being with my mom. I took maaany photos as I've been told to do. I will show you some of them. :) Here's the beach we went to almost everyday.


Our feet getting wet by the waves of the sea.


One day we went to another beach farther away from our hotel, and we met these guys. :)


We went to a trip to a goat farm and saw many goats (duh). Though this one was a bit different from everyone else, it has long ears like a bunny!


We also visit an orange growth and picked some yummy oranges. Mom made juice out of them. It was tasty~.


A store we passed by. Pac-man! :D


Who wants to try a Pokémon Burger? ;)


I wanted to try out a Japanese restaurant one day and we ordered sushi!

We sat with another family who ordered food from this chef. He cooked the food right infront of them. He was pretty funny!


My dessert, strawberry crepes! I have never tried crepes before, but have always wanted to because they look delicious. And it was~.


I found a video-game store, and Sonic inside. ;D

Inside the store, I met Lara Croft. B)

And that was all. ^^ I could show you more, but I decided to take a few ones or else it would be too much. XD

Anyway, the summer is over and I have started school again. I'm reading at komvux in my town, and the subjects I'm reading are chemistry, physics and biology. Yeah, pretty difficult subjects, but it's actually interesting and I'm learning alot.

And that's what's also keeping me busy. I have nearly no time to play any video-games. I have almost finished Yakuza 3 and Grandia 2 that I have started to play this summer, but I wonder when I will have time to actually finish them now. XD Oh well, I'm sure I must find some free time someday to do it. Great games both of them btw, and so different from each other too, haha.

That's all from me for now. Now I must return to study for the physics test I have tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Zombie Nurse +new game!

Last weekend a "Zombie Walk" was held in my city. Me and my friend Zaza decided to join it!

After some thought I chose to go as a zombie nurse (inspired by the nurses from Silent Hill). I bought the dress at a second-hand called Erikshjälpen and used my black wig and white shoes I had for my cosplays. I even made a hat of paper so you could tell I was a nurse.

After I got the stuff, it was time to make the dress bloody!



Here you can see me working. For the blood I mixed syrup, soya, red caramel color and some cocoa together. Then I used a sponge to make the stains. I also cut some holes and made it look stale with a hobby knife. And voilá! It's finished!



And here you can see how we looked like during the event.

It was the first time for me attending a zombie walk and I have always wanted to try it after seeing others doing it, so I'm glad I got the chance. It was lots of fun and I definitely want to do it again. Next time it would be fun to be a zombie-hunter instead, but we'll see!

At the same day I also went to GameStop in my outfit to buy Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D which was realized the day before. It's not every day a zombie goes at GameStop to buy games. Quite a fitting game for zombie as well, or? Hehe.

I have played it a bit and so far I like it. It's fun to play whenever you are bored and want to kick some ass. It took some time to learn the controls since I'm used to the Mecenaries at Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360. I'm also used to play as Rebecca Chambers at ME: Reunion since she is my favorite RE character and I like her weapons (machine gun and shotgun ftw!). But on 3DS my chose of character is Jill Valentine (casual) *gasp* since her weapons are more like Rebecca's previous weapons and I like Jill too. Especially in her old look rather than her new one.



That's all for me. Time to get ready for bed since I have work tomorrow. Before I sleep, I think I will play some more RE: M3D. n_n G'night~

Happy Midsummer!

Today it's midsummer! So for you who are celebrating (and you who don't), hope you have a good weekend! I'm going to celebrate with my two friends Zaza, Helene and her family like I did last time, and it was one of the best midsummer I've been on. So I'm looking forward to it this year too! This is my look for today:


I bought this dress at store called Fanny for only 200 kr (about 31.40 $), it was definitely a sweet deal!

In other news, it has been raining pretty much every day this week. I even saw a rainbow from our balcony. It was beautiful to look at. ^^



I was hoping there would be sunshine before I start my summerjob next week, but I guess not. I will work for 4 weeks and after that I'm going to Cyprus with my mom, then I will get sun and to swim!

Well, there is still about one hour before Zaza's boyfriend will pick me up. I guess I will spend the time playing something on my Xbox. Maybe Bioshock. :] See ya later!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Since this is my first post, I thought that I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sanna, but I'm also known as Sting on the web. My interests are playing video games. I grew up with it thanks to my dad who bought a SNES (Super Nintendo) to my brother when I was only two years old. First I just watched when dad and brother was playing, but later I dared to try it myself. Then I could not let go of the controller, I was hooked! So I share many fond memories of the SNES and the game Super Mario World, but also to many other games and consoles. Right now I have a obsession over Resident Evil, and I also like Megaman X & Zero, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Phoenix Wright, Yakuza, Oddworld, Mystical Ninja, Spyro and many many more games..!

I like to draw as well. It was my brother who made me interested since he also draws alot. I drew video game characters at the beginning, and then started drawing manga at the middle school. Since then I have tried to get better, have my own style. And I think I have developed alot over the years.

I studied Art and design at highschool. After that I went on a program called comic- and art-program on the university in two years. I just finished my edcuation there now.

Another hobby is cosplay (coustume play), which means that you dress up as a manga / anime or video game character. In my case I cosplay video game characters, at least that is what I've been doing so far. You could say that I like to sew and create something of their own as well.

Other interests are hanging out with friends, be with my boyfriend, sit at the computer, do gymnastics at a traininghall I go to which is called "Friskis & Svettis", joging ect!

So why do I start a blog? Probably because I was inspired by others to have their own blog where I can write about my stuff. I will certainly fill my blog with pictures I've drawn, photos and events in everyday life, video games and cosplay. A rather varied blog I would probably say. We'll see how it develops and if I can keep it active. But this is the first step anyway and now I just have to keep moving forward.

Here we go!
