Why?

I ASKED GOD...

I asked God why I wasn't rich.

He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand kings, who was lonely, and had no one to share it with.

I asked God why I wasn't beautiful.

He showed me a woman more beautiful than any other, who was ugly because of her vanity.

I asked God why He'd allowed me to become old.

He showed me a boy of 16, who lay dead at the scene of a car accident.

I asked God why I didn't have a bigger house.

He showed me a family of six, who had just been evicted from their tiny shack, and were forced, to live on the street.

I asked God why I had to work.

He showed me a man, who couldn't find a decent job, because he'd never learned to read.

I asked God why I wasn't more popular.

He showed me a socialite with a thousand friends, who all left the moment the money and parties were no longer there.

I asked God why I wasn't smarter.

He showed me a natural born genius, serving life in prison for making ill use of his knowledge.

I asked God why He put up with a thankless sinner like me.

He showed me His Bible. He showed me His Son who took my place at the judgment. I knew then how much He loved me.

What's eating you today? Are your problems weighing heavy on your heart? Know, then, that you are LOVED.

Then brighten someone else's day, in any way you care to.
Remember, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
Just reach out and touch someone's life and brighten up his or her day.

Model for a day

I was asked to be a model for Zabunovic fashion show at my old school and i couldn´t resist, mostly having my hair and makeup done, the show was just an extra, for an attention seeker like me....

Also, since I was asked with such compelling argument as
"Let’s not forget that modeling at her University celebration is how Kate Middleton met her future husband and she is about to become a princess!! "

well....i´m still waiting on my prince....he´ll just have to see this video on youtube ;)

Obama the comedian

"i wanna make clear to the Fox news channel...that was a joke"

How much did you love Obama at the White House correspondents dinner?
If he doesn´t get re-elected as president i think he should go on tour as a comedian.

And Seth Meyers.... TRUMP GOT SERVED! BIG TIME!

"Donald Trump has been saying he´s running for president as a Republican which is surprising since I just thought he was running as a joke"



and one of my favourite

"Donald Trump owns the Miss U.S.A. Pagent, which is great for Republicans because then they can streamline their search for vice President" (Sarah Palin anyone)

when i heard Meyers joke about Trump i sang "they found his body the very next day"
ironically it was Osama who was killed the very next day, ironically on the same day as Hitler was pronounced dead in 1945.

so this week was very special....with the royal wedding, white house dinner and then the death of Osama or as one of my friends posted on facebook

"the girl married the prince and the bad guy died...this week was sponsored by DISNEY

Easter weekend

Happy Easter... or so it was for me. Except for having to work most of the days i still managed to have some fun thanks to my new group.... Þórdís, her boyfriend Maggi and their friend Auður.

Let´s start before Easter, or more importantly at the annual of our workplace, NordicaSpa.  The event started with an introduction from our hostess (an actress, can´t remember her name), where she sang and then introduced the comedienne, bellydancer and actress Helga Braga, who danced, joked and then made us all stand up and dance to the Eurovision song "Düm Tek tek"...so much fun seeing everyone participate. Then we ate some delicious food while Ingunn and her brother sang....man they´re good. See it for yourselves....



Then it was on to the annual video, which Unnur Kolka, Birgitta, Margrét, Unnur Thors and me had made the previous Sunday and man it was brilliant. A mix of making fun of a lost tourist, towels, our daily customers and of course our employees. In the end we got dressed up in ridiculous clothes and did Ms. B bootylicious course. It was a smash. The video couldnt at first play all way through but Unnur K went home to fix it. She deserves all the credit. SO AWESOME! I would love to make it a monhtly event, doing such videos and watching it with the staff.

But on to the next act, which was a brilliant comedienne and then on to the endless lottery and finally our hostess took up one of our trainers Villi and joked that they had had a one night stand and he played along, it was so funny, can´t describe it, you just had to be there. The night ended with a bang, everybody on the dance floor, even me leading them in a waka waka zumba choreography, so much fun and even though the music shut down, we wouldnt stop, we just sang it "BARBARA STREISAND; WOOOHOOOO"... brilliant night

So Easter .... after a lazy next day, we went to Auður´s house where we (and by we, i mean they) cooked delicious lamb, and then we had brownie/easter egg/ice cream for dessert. WOW, it was so good, i´m still recovering. We ended the evening in the jacuzzi with a couple of carlsberg... at that point you just think "man this is the life". We also met a day later for some pork (just in case we weren´t still full from the last time), played cards, watched Wall-e, played buzz and had a lot of fun, like we always do. This time was even so much fun i cried of laughter...literally! How could i not. Have you ever seen Auður pull a gangsta phrase? that´s just hilarious. On Easter Sunday, my family met and had delicous meal together, shared easter eggs and played buzz. So Easter was a lot of fun!!!

I´m so grateful for the people in my life, my family and friends ...and happy to get holidays to be able to spend more time with them.

I love Bruno Mars.....

Love this video, so simple, so silly, so brilliant. He is one of those artists that turns anything into Gold....his voice is amazing. He has worked with tons of artists and helped them top the charts.
Who wouldnt melt when he sings "cause girl you´re amazing, just the way you are"

Hollywood here I come!!!!

I can´t stop smilling and jumping around....i just got accepted to the Independent Artist Program at the Musician´s Institute in L.A. starting Oct. 2011..... it´s a 6 month Program where you learn everything to become an Independent Artist. I can´t wait....Hollywood here I come!

New articles at Pressan

I´ve been really busy working at NordicaSpa in the reception as well as teaching Zumba at NordicaSpa, Reykjanesbær and then to groups/companies but i managed to write a couples of articles, including a gratitude article (listing all the things we can be grateful for) and then the most recent one regarding bullying. There has been an anti-bullying discussion lately and i thought it was time to share my story, since i was bullied as a kid and it took me a long time to recover.  We can all treat each other better.

as the status on facebook goes:

"The Girl you just called fat? She has been starving herself & has lost over 30lbs. The Boy you just called stupid? He has a learning disability & studies over 4hrs a night. The Girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The Boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home.There's a lot more to people than you think. Put this as your status if you're against bullying"
