My site has been down for the past couple of weeks due to someone hacking it but finally it’s back on track! I’ve also made a new thing where you must register before you comment because I was getting *way* too many spam comments!! It was like, insane!

Here’s a trailer to hype you up for tonight:

I always like to put pictures in every blog but this time I really don’t have much to write so it’s mainly going to be all pictures I woke up this morning to whiteness, it was really nice! I got excited and went outside to take photos and I also even made a snow duckie!! I took the liberty of drawing in some eyes and defining the beak so you can get the picture:

I got my hair cut last week too:

And a bonus pic… who rocks the Berlin jersey harder?

Today is going to be exactly as the blog is titled… a lazy Sunday! I’m really looking forward to watching the draft unfold today. So far there has been some surprises with protected players and I personally can’t wait to see the new teams.

From what I hear there will be a live stream of the draft so until then i’m just gonna play some DoA4 and Burnout while waiting for it to happen. There are people i’m really rooting for so even though the tournament is already over, good luck to everyone (you know who you are!).

Also today the finals of the Samsung European Championships were played and I would just like to say congratulations to the Berliner boys there (THE TACTICAL and yggdrasil). Rudolf ended up 3rd place (losing in the lower bracket final to Grunt Dude, who ended up winning the tournament) and. Yggdrasil only dropped a couple of maps in the winner bracket in PGR4 until the final, where he played WCG winner Handewasser and came away with 2nd place. Good job to both of you i’m really proud! Now back to Forza 2 Phil!!

PS: I made official VIP status!!! I’m so excited!!!!

Yep, I know it’s pretty late (ok, 2 weeks late) but at least I got the month! This month is the 1st birthday of www.helloliefje.com …to come to think of it, it also marks that the gaming house ended one year ago.

I’m happy to say that it’s been a really fantastic year for me. I started this website basically when everything was up-in-the-air for me… with the end of the gaming house, I didn’t really know where my life was going. But it ended up taking a really good turn, where I started writing for Pro Gam3r Magazine, then finally I got drafted into the CGS. And on this first anniversary, it seems like i’m back to square 1!

Yep, my contract with the CGS is ending in March and me backing down from writing for the magazine, it seems like it’s complete shambles. Basically for the next 3 months I won’t have anything to do (gl finding a job in Sweden, HAH) and i’m anxiously waiting on the go-ahead from the CGS for me to be able to make new video blogs. I have a lot of really fantastic footage from New Zealand which I am totally itching to share with you all!!!!

The previous video blogs I did for the Berlin Allianz can be found on the Allianz website.

So keep your eyes peeled for my new videos, i’ll be posting each one on here as I make it so comment if you want to see something in particular

Another thing… To mark the anniversary i’ve changed the look of the site! What do you think? Mmm, pink Also i’ve updated the media section, where you can find links to recent interviews. I recommend watching the Epileptic Gaming one.

Until next time… puss o kram!!

Wooooooooow ok it’s time for a LONG overdue update. I have been so busy travelling lately that I just haven’t had the time. I have just spent the past 3 weeks in New Zealand visiting my friends and family for the first time since moving to Europe. It was so nice to see them again and even though i’ve only been back 2 days I miss them loads already.

And I come back to a bunch of crappy news and some guy getting murdered in the apartment building near mine :s

I had a super fantastic time in NZ and i’ve uploaded some more pics to my facebook album.I’m on the move again in a few days, heading to Norway with Olander to play at a movie festival! It should be really cool More info about it here.

So ok, i’m trying get rid of this jetlag and its really hard because its a full 12 hour difference! My days are nights and nights are days. Last night I took some sleeping pills to help me fall asleep in what would have been daytime (but really it was like 2am) and I think I was sensitive or just REALLY tired because I ended up sleeping until 2200 the next day!! OH nooooooooooooooo. So i’m going to try and pull an “all-nighter” today (staying up 24 hrs) to fix this schedule.

Hmm it’s 10am and no one is playing DoA! 12 hrs to go… !

dun dun dundundun dundundun dun dun dun dun dun…

Ok that’s super dorky for those of you who know the song (if not it’s “Insomnia” by Faithless) but I really can’t get no sleep! I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately due to the winter weather and I ended up sleeping the day away today and now I just can’t get to sleep again! It’s 7:40am and I figure i’ll just pull an all-nighter and head to bed early tomorro.. tonight?

I’ve been playing DoA a bit lately and I feel like i’ve been improving. It’s really nice to hear when people say “oh I saw you on CGS, you’re a lot better than I thought!” I know my results at the world finals were bad but I don’t intend on letting that happen again

I think that the next combine will be really interesting. I think that everyone currently involved in the CGS really wants to do it again for another season so they will have the drive and motivation to practice really hard because they know exactly what they’re playing for.

Not a lot has really happened in the beginning of 2008 for me but that doesn’t say that that’s how it’s going to be for the whole year! I think most people are still kind of in “holiday mood”. I’m more in the mood for change. I want to join the gym (but am having issues doing that right now), move apartment and redecorate. I think I need a change of scenery… perhaps involving a bigger place with more room for my ever-growing wardrobe ;). Don’t be alarmed though, I still fully intend on staying on top of my game!!

Ok enough about me, since I can’t sleep i’ve looked up some tips for you other insomniacs out there (and I know there’s a few of you!) to help you get sleep:
* Take a warm bath
* Listen to music (soothing stuff, none of this deathmetal!)
* Drink warm milk (this relaxes your nervous system)
* Avoid caffine, alcohol and tobacco
* Get up earlier in the morning (this way you are more tired in the evening)
* Keep a regular bedtime
* Exercise during the day
* Avoid naps!

And now, back to the most mundane thing you could ever do on your PC…… organising files!! WOO! hahaha ohh I want sleep!

Firstly, I just wrote a really huge blog but then firefox crashed and I lost it all so this one will be more brief since i’m a little mad. Anyway if you didn’t read my previous blog I left with my bf for Düsseldorf on the 30th of December just to go to a huge New Year dance party called Sensation White.

I got back late last night and I must say, i’m a little sad to be back in Sweden simply because it means i’m going to have to wait until summer for the next Sensation!

I guess it’s needless to say, the party was immense. It went from 20:00 - 7:00 and even by that time I didn’t want to leave. The hotel I was staying at was basically part of the LTU arena (where the event was held) so the night before I could sit in the dining room sipping a beer and watch them test the lights and the bass for the next night.

Even though I got a little taste of what was to come, when I walked into the arena when the 30,000 or so people had showed up and the djs were playing (I came around an hour and a half late because I had problems picking up my tickets) I got happy tears just because it looked (and sounded) so incredible. There was this giant white “tree” in the middle where the DJ would sit (and rotate around while playing) and it would light up, there was dancers, water features and fire! I don’t know how to describe it any better.

I got VIP tickets for the event which means I had access to this lounge where there were many more bars, a dance floor (where other DJs would also play) and couches ad stuff for when you just want to chill out. I wish I had better pictures of it but I didn’t have my camera with me. It was nice to be able to go to that area so I didn’t have to wait in line for the bar or bathrooms but I really did enjoy the main arena the most.
I couldn’t have asked for a better end to a fantastic 2007 and an even better beginning to 2008.
