Music: Studying music

Have you ever struggled with doing your job or homework because you wish to listen to something not too distracting, but find yourself starting up spotify?

Well I have. A lot of times. Yeah spotify got lots of great songs but when you need to concentrate, what you really need, is:
1. First, a song without lyrics. The second you find yourself singing along with the vocalist, you have already failed. This is one of the most annoying thing if you need to concentrate. By all means, this is MY personal opinion. Some people can still work with singing in the background.

Here you get some songs by our big reggae star, Bob Marley allthough with vocals though:. This is a video on 2.41 hours:
Unfortunately I couldn't find it on the easy-add video function on blogger, so I will give you the direct link to youtube instead: -->YOUTUBE<-- 

2. Second, I think classic music is the very best for working. You might think I'm very wrong here but I have actually felt more concentrated while listening to soft pan-flute music, like this one


I actually found this one too, which was quite good, where you'll have a chilled beat in the background: 



3. Third is the type of genre, even if the song is instrumental it could still be giving you problem with working, but as I mentioned earlier, this is so different from person to person. I'm adding a video from Daft Punk, instrumental version of the song "Lose yourself to Dance" hopefully you'll enjoy it. 




Here is another one, with piano as the main instrument; playing good old love songs, I turned down the volume a bit here, or else some parts will get to loud to work with:


If you are more of the jazz-type it's easy to find something good to work with. I found one that last 6 hours, so no I haven't heard through it all, since I'm not the biggest jazz fan :P but it has gotten 1.5 mill hits in under a year so I guess it's good stuff :)

 


Some instrumental R&B music, not to much superdrops or anything, just chill beats;




Next one is also in the R&B genre, but instead of piano as the main instrument we got a guitar instead: Worth listening to: 



 For those who prefer a little bit of instrumental slow rock, Sinima Beats got some very good ones:





More slow guitar with some rap-inspirited beats: 




If you ignore the 10 sec start-up subscribe part this is a melody consisting of a beautiful piano + some extra beats; 


That's all for now, I should really get going with my own working, instead of giving you all these examples of studying music. Maybe I'll make a part 2 to this with more to pick from :)


Fitness girls: Hot or not?

I think the big training-boom started only a couple of years ago. Suddenly everyone focused on training hard. Many fitness-bloggers got popular fast with their training-tips and healthy "fitness-food". I have also thrown myself into this madness but the question that I have asked so many already is; is it hot or horrible to see woman with muscles that isn't just skinny,but awfully strong too?

My personal opinion here is; Daaamn! I wish more girls would train hard to get a healthy body instead of a thin and unhealthy body that is build only on special "thin-genes".
In Norway we got many "fitness-girls" and I would like to give them a special place here in my blog, in case anyone wanted to read more about their hardworking days:

First up: Linn Cesilie Tovås, which participate in bikinifitness Norway and won this competition in 2013


She focus much on her daily training of course, but she also have good tips on how to eat good stuff without being to fanatic. I guess she's the only one at the moment that will get a little introduction, since I'm to lazy to write more :P
-->BLOG<--










Next I will add some random inspirational fitness-girls:

Dana Linn Bailey, one of the more extreme woman out there
Here is her youtube channel: -->YOUTUBE<--

It's hard to find good picture where the girl isn't dressed up in 10 layers of makeup while taking a photoshot. I try as best as I can to find more natural training girl that isn't in just for the fame. 


I'll think I'll end this post with a fun little movie. The flipside workout. On this clip the roles are completely changed. All the steriotypes from the gym where the guys are like "YEAHH training, lots of protein!", they suddenly end up in the yoga room. Enough of that, just watch it;



Oh and if any girls feel like wanting to achieve this, but need a little more motivation, you got to check out this video below, because it will get you pumped up and and your willpower will definitely shoot high. Damn.

Chinese New year

Yesterday it was Chinese new year! And this time we move into the year of The Horse:


Another year have passed and a new year is approaching in high speed. Since I'm half Chinese and half Norwegian it's quite clear that I wanted to at least give it a thought. I live in another city than my parents so I couldn't really celebrate it with some others, but I managed to search the web and find some fine recipes for the delicious Wonton soup! 

The site I used was this one if someone is interested:  --->WONTON_SOUP<--
I did change a little bit of the recipe though, because of what I had tasted before and a little because I wanted to experiment :P

For the soup, instead of adding chicken broth I used two slice chops, because then the soup will get some more flavor + the meat is really good. If you choose this way of making them, remember to let the meat lay in half boiling (under half of max temperature) for about 3-4 hours, untill the meat seperate from the bone .

Cops 

Beside adding chops, I added some mushrooms. So as you can see, this takes time and must be prioritized first. While the meat cook you can continue preparing the meat mix. The recipe here is really good but I noticed that it didn't get so flavorish as I wanted it. I ended up using more of the soy-sauce and the vinegar. A little thing I remembered from home was to put in around 1-2 tsp with dry cherry wine. It tastes so much better, after my opinion. I used a brand called Alegria, which is actually a 37,5%, but since we're using it in food the alcohol disappears into the water. 

This is how the cherry looks like.
It's a international brand so I guess it's easy to get :)


Remember to use enough salt too, my wontons was as I mentioned earlier not filled with so much taste as I wanted, but you guys just have to test it out a little bit. If you are unsure put some of the meat mix into another bowl and add the stuff you want to try.

When everything is ready you'll get a nice boiler filled with good stuff. 
I personally ate around 10 wontons before I felt full, but then again, I don't eat that much nowadays, so I will guess a normal adult will eat something between 8-15, depending on how much extra stuff you'll add (shrooms, cabbage, extra meat) 

This is my own picture of how it looked like in the end.


Hope you enjoy this new year and stay healthy.

Anime: Deadman wonderland

I was going to write about this for a long time now but I haven't got enough time for it. But here it goes: 

Deadman Wonderland isn't a anime for people that get easily emotional attached to characters, because this is an anime where people get hurt or even die (no spoilers, I promise :P) The first episode is where you'll get to meet the main person Ganta Igarashi, who really is a little bit of a brat. You'll see his personality real quick. 



It all happends at school, where a strange man floating outside of the window suddenly blows the whole classroom to pieces. Everywhere it's blood and it looks like Ganta is the only one alive. 





Ah what can I say without spoiling to much, he gets arrested and sent to prison. But it's no ordinary prison. 
This prison was made for amusement, where the inmates are competing and trying their best to not get killed.

Throughout the anime we will meet a very special girl, I will not reveal too much about her but
you can see a picture: 

A white girl dressed in a white bodysuit with red circles 

Just to give you a sneak peak this is my Deadman Wonderland background for my mobile :3 Love it ^^ 
This is of my favorie person; hope it will get you to watch it!

Learn: Goats...and trees.

Ah soo you want to know something about goats? What a weirdo you are! But here it goes... This is most likely one of the weirdest thing I have read for a while (only a while though)
Diiiiiid you know that goats live in trees?

Totally legit. I promise. 

Uhm yeah, I found this picture randomly (..and not by actually searching for goats in trees... I promise...maybe...drop it please!)

So yeah this is actually a special type of goat who lives in Morocco. As I read in the article I found about these incredible animals, these goats climb in something called an "Argan tree" to find food? As if this wasn't weird enough... as I keep reading it tells me that these goats poop tree-seeds

QUOTE: "The droppings of the goats contain the kernels of the seeds they consume which are, strangely enough, used by locals to press and grind into oil." errhhhhh? What? 

It doesn't stop here... The droppings is used in some kinds of local food and cosmetic items.. So some people EAT this.
Have fun in Morocco. I think I stay the fuck away. 


BAAAAH!

Game: League of Legends update!

A few days ago, League of Legends had a big update. First of all I got a little sad that I didn't reach up to Silver before the last season ended.. Not that I played much anyway, but it would have been fun to get the extra stuff and rewards.. I ended up in Bronze 2 though...

Oh well, I think I need to give out my opinion on the new season. As usual, the first game really sucked... Riot had added lots of new items and changed some of my core champions. Mostly because the only champs that got nerfed was the supports... Yeah, I'm one of the supportplayers.

The biggest difference was the GOLD ITEMS:
I won't go into details about each and one of them.. That would be too stupid since you can find them all HERE:

The only thing I will do is add the pictures and describe my opinion about them:


These three are levlable aka it got 3 different levels.
My personal favorite are Relic Shield, because with this item it's easier to share the gold in botlane.. Since both will recieve the same amount of gold by last hitting. So the support can now get extra gold.

This is also a chose-able item, where you can only have one that gives out extra gold so if you pick Ancient coin you can neither pick Relic or Spellthief (lux skin :D)  

----------------------------------------------------
The masteries have also changed, so much to keep track on in the start:


This is how the utility mastery look like, Riot has added some extra gold blocks, like the second to the left 4 spaces down, which gives you +1 gold for each minion you don't hit or something.. So yey lots of more ways to get jewish :3

-------------------------------------------------------

Oh I nearly forgot the TRINKETS!!
Trinkets, Trinkets my lovely trinkets... It makes my job lot easier.. because..? FREE WARDS! 
Everyone on the team can pick either:

1. A free warding item
2. A Reveaking and Disabeling Lensing stuff (kinda like Akali's W, only that instead of hiding the champion, it detects wards :3 <--- Awesome right? 
3.A longrange revealing orb, kinda like the Clairvoyance summonor spell ( I have never seen anyone use this though,,,)

If this still sounds like unclear, which it probably does I suggest you to visit >>THIS<< video, this guy explain it pretty good and shows it visually

Errrhhh, a small picture taken from the youtube movie :) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahhh, I think that covers most of the newelish items, hope someone will think of this as some kind of usefull shit but I don't give a shit :C GO AWAY IF YOU HATE IT.... or read it again to torture yourself... Yeaaaah....
