Hi all,
Passed out at 19 yesterday and slept until 9, so 14 hours and still I am totally tired and lost;=)
So jet-lag,once again - sucks;=)

But here´s the first photos from the trip for you! More will follow!

First evening after arriving we sat and had some drinks together;=)

 I wore a new bracelet-ring from Gina Tricot on the trip.

First stop

Good morning all:-) I have arrived safely to my first destination - Amsterdam and Schiphol airport. Must admit I couldnt sleep for a minute so I am sooo tired and I guess I will get a hard time staying awake all day. Jet-lag for sure sucks:-) On my way here in the plane I felt how much stress its been this week and I think it will take some days to relax again. Its the down side of this job that everything always turns out to be stressful due to lack of time. This week has been crazy and not so many seconds to just ease and absorb what happens. Like being on tour in many ways. And the hardest part, except my nervousness and stage fright, has been to be away from my children. There's not a minute in the day that I dont feel pain in my heart when being away and now with little Nemo its even worse. So I am very relieved to soon hold him and Seth in my arms and I wont let go for a long time:-) The guys are still in Montreal and Tuomas have some more movie stuff to do, but they will all get back this week too. Now soon time to board again but when I feel I have squeezed the kids and Johan long enough and slept a bit I will post photos and more from this week. Until then - take care and enjoy your sunday!

Done

Good morning and a very happy saturday to you all! Its been such long and hard days filled with movie shoots and promo photo shoots that I havent had any time or energy to write here but now we are all done and I fly home tonight. On wednesday we started to shoot a scene that involves quite a lot of different things and all day was filled with action for us. It was really fun but also tiring and we were sooo tired when going to bed that night. I have had to be first on set every morning which means to leave the hotel at 5.30-5.55 so very early mornings. We shot some more on thursday but it was much easier that day and that was good since I was so tired all day. Guess the jet-lag hit me that day. Yesterday we went to the shoots to get our hair and make-up done before heading out in the city to take promo photos all day. It went really well and we were very fast and efficient in every location. And the guys looked so good all of them:-) When we came back in the evening we ate and checked all the photos and we all felt very pleased seeing the result. This week have been stressful, a little crazy, nervous and full of new people and new things to learn but most of all it has been wonderful and I leave Montreal feeling happy and relaxed and now I so long to see the movie when its done and I am sure it will be nothing but amazing. Everyone here working with it are pure professionals and seeing this big "machinery" work have made me full of respect for the movie business and its hard workers. When I am back home I will publish photos from this week for you all to see:-) Enjoy this saturday and au revoir Montreal!

Thanks!

Good morning! Just woke up and ready to grab a coffee before hitting the gym:-) but wanted to thank all of you who sent me support comments in my last post. So sweet of you and I will take ur support with me on set today:-) Enjoy the day!

Shaken and stirred

Good evening! Well, lying in the bed after a looong day again. Today we have shot scenes for the first time and I was so nervous that I shaked and thought of flying home:-) but later on I finally felt more relaxed and It started to be fun. I learn more and more about myself and why I react in certain ways and one thing is that my stage fright and perfectionism is so damn hard to handle. Its something i will always have to cope with but it also make me "on my toes" and do all I can. The guys are just so great and so supportive and they give me all their love which really helps:-) Its really a new world the movie business and I am amazed by how incredible the crew is and how much patience the actors have, to do take after take for day after day... And the talents are just in every level on set and seeing all these people do such a team work and get it done is so fascinating:-) Tomorrow I leave before the guys again since I need some more time on hair and make-up. And I think tomorrow and thursday will be a hell of a ride and my character will be very exciting to do. So hopefully I will be able to relax more tomorrow. Keep fingers crossed for me, ok? Sleep really well and sweet dreams!

Like a clock

Good morning all:-) First of all: I am not so good at blogging from my Ipad and therefore it might look weird at times, sorry for that:-( Also; why I havent posted any photos is because I have tried to get them in here but it doesnt work:-( so if someone has an Ipad and blogger and knows why I cant publish photos, send me a comment on how to fix it. If I cant get it fixed all photos will of course be in here when I am back home at my regular Mac;-) So, I feel like a set clock. I am in this time already and I fall asleep at 22 and then wake up at 5-5.30. The time difference to Sweden is 6 hours so not as big of a difference as when flying to Asia for instance. Yesterday we didnt go to the mountains as planned, but it was ok by me cause I first went to the gym and ran, crosstrained and did some weights before I walked around Montreal city doing some window shopping mainly:-) it was beautiful weather and I loved to watch all the people in the streets. Everywhere I went people were so friendly and I met a lot of kind persons I talked to. I went in to some churches and they were so beautiful. Its something I love to do, seeing churches everywhere. Gives me peace. I got myself two pair of shoes from Aldo and Nine west - one pair of black minnetonka copies and one pair of black pumps with a low heel. I need some shies that are low when I travel and the minnetonkas will be a favourite:-) I also got to Forever 21 and wow, it is cheap there! Got myself a black top and a golden skirt and paid 23 canadian dollars:-) perfect price, Also got my dear mum something for her taking care of Nemo-:-) Then after a whole day of walking around we all took of to eat dinner out with the producer Neill and Stobe and we ate at a nice place called The globe. A nice fish for me went down really easy:-) Today I will hit the gym soon and after a nice breakfast we're going to the movie set to try our movie clothes that have been made for us and also get our make-up done to see how it will loon the coming days. It will be fun and interesting to see all:-) Enjoy this monday and later,

Jet lag

Good morning! We arrived yesterday and the flights were not so bad:-) I watched Midnight in Paris and some TV shows like 30 rock, How I met your mother, Two and a half men and many more. I laughed so hard at times that my "neighbours" next to me in the plane wondered what I was up to:-) but laughing sure is good for the spirit! When we arrived and had gone through the boring security things, we got picked up by a nice cab driver who took us to the hotel and it is for sure nice to be a "movie star" we all said:-) jacuzzi in the rooms and just a super luxury place to stay this week. We love it:-) After a quick freshen up we all met down in the lobby bar and had some drinks, lots of nice talks and laughters before we head to our rooms to sleep. To avoid the worst jet-lag we always try to stay up the whole flight and then stay up until its around 22 before sleeping. Still, I woke up at 5 local time so I have been checking some TV, called mum to check how Nemo's doing, had coffee and now I'll hit the gym:-) Today we're off and we'll do some hiking up in the mountains later on and of course just enjoy Montreal:-) Enjoy the day and lots of hugs from Canada!
