Goodbye wisdom tooth and hello family party

These past weeks leading up to Christmas has been pretty hectic which is why I haven’t been able to post as much as I wanted to. There has been a lot to do at work and little time to play games and stream, but now that the holidays are kicking inn there will be more time to relax.

I pulled my wisdom tooth a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t planned, but when I met up to my appointment they said that if I had experience any pain from them then they should be removed because they are crocked and pushes me again the neighbour teeth. I couldn’t feel anything during the operation, but afterwards my entire left side felt numb and I had also swollen up like crazy. It’s been 11 days I’m still a bit swollen. Needed to take a couple of days off work when it was at it’s worse. When your work is built around a lot of talking and smiling that becomes a bit dificult with one swollen cheek. I still get those icing in my teeth when I drink something or breath in through my mouth which is super annoying. I can’t wait until it all goes away!

We also had our family over for a little pre-Christmas celebration since we won’t be together on the 24th. It was my aunt and uncle, my two cousins and Nicolai who is the boyfriend to one of them. We got together had a lovely talk. In Norway it’s a tradition in some families to eat Rakfisk the day before Christmas.

Rakfisk is a Norwegian fish dish made from trout or char, salted and autolyzed for two to three months, or even up to a year. Rakfisk is then eaten without cooking and has a mild and slightly salty flavour and strong smell. Often served with aquavite

I ended up eating some fish, but most sausages the taste is a bit too strong for me. After we had all eaten decided to open each others present to make a fake Christmas. From my aunt and uncle I got a crime experience where we can go to a location to solve a crime or as the tickets mention

“Find my inner Sherlock Holmes”

From my first cousin I got a pair for training shoes which I can use at work which was perfect because me and my mum was just about to buy new ones, but now we don’t have to. I gave my aunt and uncle lids made of silicon so that they can stretch to almost any size bowl, and for my cousins I got them each a mini massage. Everyone seemed happy and the evening was a hug success in itself. Next big night will be the 24th. Can’t wait to eat myself fat on all the food and open presents. It’s been a hard year so I think it’s important to have it special during holidays no matter if you spend it alone, with family, friends or a special someone. It’s important to share those cheers with everyone.

I wish you all a merry Christmas. May it be a joyful celebration with the people you love. Remember that we got this year has been hard for everyone and it’s important to share the love.

The vacation week I needed

Today was my first day back at work after a week vacation. Since I’m an apprentice up until start of November I couldn’t apply for any vacation, but as soon as I became a part time employee I decided to take the first week of December off, because I want to work as much as possible during the holidays. My position now is that they call or I book shifts that either the boss sends out or other colleges, but I also have a second contract which allows me to be at work on days I don’t have any booked shift. At the end of the day I get payed from both work and this system called NAV and I get to meet up at work everyday. It was soo great to be able to take some time off

The best pair of winter shoes I have ever owned.

After heavy lifting for 5 months of heave lifting and a lot of working I started feeling more and more exhausted at work no matter if I slept for 3h or 6h beforehand. So since it’s close to Christmas and during these time there are a lot of people and much to do especially this year with most people/families staying home I decided to take a week off before everything comes rumbling down. I didn’t do much during my days off. I just caught up on a lot of sleep, streamed everyday and went shopping on Friday. I was going to do a Charity week on stream, but the timing was bad since one of my friends had just had an event and I ended up getting sad that my event didn’t get that much hype, but it was nice and chill. I got to catch up with a lot of friends and games

Friday I decided to get out of the house so me and my mum went shopping for my late birthday present. Instead of giving me a coat we decided to give me a pair of shoes since winter i coming and I needed something warmer that trainers. We met up in town and went to a store called “Urban” The lady working there was super nice and complimented my hair color which I always love hearing. My mum and I already had our eyes on a pair from Timberland which looked really nice. Thankfully they had it in that store so I tried them out and it was fit with first shoe. We decided that we actually just take them and I’m super happy with them. They are warm, not to big and comfortable.

The rest of the vacation I just sat at home playing games and ate a lot of candy. So I’m happy to be back at work moving again xD

Hope you guys had a lovely week and staying safe no matter where in the world you are. Remember if you wanna check out twitch I’m live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday @ twitch.tv/yannani. Come and say hey ❤

League of legends patch 10.23 – Items

So today League had a big update 10.23. Ranked season ended yesterday. I ended up in silver and didn’t get to gold which means I didn’t get the Victorious Lucian skin which is a bit sad, but that is the consequence for not playing enough ranked throughout the season.

So as pre-season has started they released a big patch update which added many new items, removed a lot and also reworked how the shops work. So as it is no items are divided into different ranks. You have “Common”, “Legendary” and “Mythic” (yeah I know it’s pretty weird). So you can only have one mythic item per game and all the finished items goes under the legendary category. They made some changes to jungle item as well. The way it looks like just now it seems like assassin’s are going to be the strongest class so champions like Katarina, Talon, Akali etc, which I think is quite upsetting since I really hate assassin’s. There have also made it so that enchanted supports aren’t as strong anymore which means back to Leona for me LUL. There are soo many other things like “Athens unholy grail” is not an item anymore and some of items has kind of merged and other are kind of the same but under a different name. There are too many changes to cover in this post.

I’m excited for what the next season will bring. I really love the new look of the in game shops. Some thinks it’s more confusing, but I find it more organised. It’s also a neat feature that atm when your in the home screen in the client you can click on an item and there will be a small video attached to it. The fact that promos will be removed for next season is also something I’m looking forward. No more having to re do your promos because random people on your team keeps loosing you the game. I have decide to try out karma main, but we will se. Hopefully you guys are excited about it as well. There are also an upcoming patch in Dead by daylight, but more on that in another post.

2020 so far…

So we are now in the middle of the November and we are soon entering the Christmas season. There is a lot of stuff that has happened throughout this year. Both in my personal life and on world basis.

Let’s get the elephant out the room, covid 19. This year the entire world got hit with a giant virus pandemic which seems to be on the same scale as the “The black death”. People have died, lost their jobs and many have struggled with mental issues. Depending on where you live you’re situation might differ. Here in Norway we have tried to keep it as much under control as in any other country. We haven’t had any serious lockdowns since May and we haven’t been forced to wear mask either. As it is the law stipulates that people have to wear mask out on public ground and during rush hours on public transport. The fine for breaking these rules are 2k NOK. At my work we aren’t forced to wear mask, but it’s highly advice to use it when we walk around in the store feeling up the shelfs. We have glass at the tills etc, but other than that it’s just to each individual to take care for their own safety.

I have a lot of friends who has really been affected by this. Some of my friends have had close ones die and many others have struggled with mental issues during these troubled times. For me I have struggled a lot this year, but not everything has been because of covid. My struggles has been between friends, stream and how I feel my self progress is going.

So a couple of months ago I did something really stupid (might go into detail at another date) which lost me a streaming friend and almost everyone who was a part in her community. I’m blaming myself for it fully and understand her decision, but I do miss being part in a community where I felt like I was home. So I have been struggling to fit in somewhere. I have tried but still kind of searching. Having friends and someone to talk to is very important for me and I just haven’t felt like there is someone who is appreciating me the way I want to be appreciated. I compare myself with people which mean that as soon as I see someone succeeding on something wither it’s building a community or within streaming I get sad starts thing about “why don’t I have this, what is wrong with me” because in my head I feel like I “deserve” to get like more viewers on stream or people who would give me surprises when I hit a milestone etc (I know it sound super selfish but it’s just how it is). So everyday I struggle trying to not think about these kinds of stuff. I could go on for almost 10 pages more but I won’t hehehe.

The summery is that I have also struggled with pandemic that is going on. I have lost friends, broke off a relationship because of long distance and a LOT of mental issues when it comes to streaming. As I like to put it

I have a constantly fight between my heart and my mind

Yannani – 2020

To end on a good note at least Trump lost the election to Biden. Depending on where you stand in terms of politics I hope the majority of you are happy for this change. There might me some light in this pandemic after all. Anyway I hope everyone is doing alright, staying inside or keeping social distancing. Take care of yourself and your loved ones in these dark times.

Girls night out!

This Friday me and my sister hang out with our cousins, which was super nice. We haven’t had a proper hang out ever since we were kids. So we went to their place at 6pm. Both of my cousins are huge dog lovers so we get greeted my a very friendly dog called Lilly. We started the nice night with just telling each other about how our days has been lately. Talked mostly about work before we headed over to the table. For dinner we had all kinds of delicious small meals. There were chicken pasta, smoked salmon rolls filled with chives, roasted potato boats, Focaccia, olives and some dips like Tzatziki and chili mayo. Everything tasted soo good and it was soo hard to not over eat.

After that lovely meal we headed over to the living room, talk some more and we did stumble upon some very interesting topics. One of the were about the election in the US and about Trump which I won’t go into details on, but the other one was about animals.

So my cousin told a story about a time when she went shopping and put her dog in front of the entrance so that the could look at each other and the dog wouldn’t be too scared. Then this woman before her in the queue wants too leave, but is too afraid to walk past the dog.

We talked tried to convince my cousin that if you had an something very traumatic happening to you when you’re a kid then it can be hard to get over it and look at dogs as a sweet and loving animals. It took time and both of us had some great arguments. We ended up with her understanding, but still found it strange and that was the result we could get.

This is Lilly, 8 years old

All in all it was a very lovely evening. Towards the end after my sister had left with her boyfriend who had joined after dinner I shared my relationship problems with them and they suggested that breaking up would be the best option so I just did it there. Because of covid and it was a long distance relationship there were no face to face breakup. I still feel guilty about breaking up and hurting his feeling, but I just gotta be strong and try to not give into the temptation to regret it and try again.

That was it from me this time around. I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and a lovely Halloween.

Introduction

Welcome to my blog. This is a blog for everyone where I will share my life experiences with you guys. It will be a bit more in depth for those who are interested in how I go about my day to day life. There will be focuse on both personal stories and ofc as a gamer girl we will have a section for games where I will post everything game related. I hope you like your stay and are as excited as I am to see how this will go 😀

Now a bit of background information about me. My name is Anna, I’m original from China but was adopted when I was little and grew up in Norway. From a very early age I became more and more into a tomboy. Instead of being interested in dresses, makeup, barbie etc my interests was pointed more towards games, cards, swordfighting etc. I didn’t have that many friends when I was young, but my first ever best friend was a boy who lived close to me and he introduced me into games at age 10.

I have also had my fair share of mental issues. I have been diagnosed with “avoidant personality disorder”, bit of anxiety and mild depression. So some post might be a bit darker and not as cheerful as others, but I will try my best to keep it up 🙂

My first ever game I played was an fps game called “Project Blackout” and from there I started to become more and more into techonlogy. I started to show really interest in software like apple and android and started reading up on the newest tech. It wasn’t until I got my first boyfriend I started my play more and more games.

Now I currently play all types of games. I prefer playing games with friends, but I also play single player games too for a more relaxing experiences. My most played games are League of Legends and Dead by Daylight.

I started streaming in 2018 on Twitch, but didn’t start doing it seriously before 2019. Became affiliate in mai 2019. My current scheduel is every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 4PM CET/CEST. Here I stream most of the games I already mentioned (League and Dead by daylight), but also some other games like: Among Us, Phasmophobia and Minecraft. You guys are welcome to stop by if you also are a massive gamer like me.

Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this and if there is any questions don’t hesitate to ask ❤
