Aatonaatto

Kaks kiireistä työpäivää takana, kolme vapaapäivää edessä! En vaan voi tajuta et joulu on oikeesti täällä taas.

Tällä hetkellä leffa pyörimässä, syön karkkia, kynttilät on sytytetty ja porkkanalaatikko uunissa. Tein porkkanalaatikkoa sillon jotain viikkoja sitten ja nyt sain ihan kunnian tehdä myös joulun porkkanalaatikot. Toivottavasti onnistuu.. Ajattelinpa jatkaa tota haastetta tässä nyt noita uunista odotellessani.

Day 23 – One thing that means a lot to you

En tiiä tarkotetaanko tässä esinettä vai asiaa mut mäpä sanon että tietokone, ja vielä tarkennettuna Macbook. Olisin aivan hukassa ilman tietokonetta ja olo tuntu kieltämättä orvolta kun Macci oli huollossa. Tietokone on mulle paljon paljon tärkeempi ku esim TV ja kyllä se on mulla kokoajan kotona ollessa auki. Puhumattakaan siitä, että tarviin konetta kouluhommiin jne, niin tärkein se on mulla yhteydenpitovälineenä. Ilman konetta mulla on sellanen olo, että oon pimennossa kaikesta enkä jotenkin perillä mistään. Monet sanoo että sosiaalinen elämä kärsii jos viettää aikaa koneella. Mä oon sitä mieltä et sosiaalinen elämä kärsii jollei vietä aikaa myös koneella. Tärkeimpiä asioita mulle siinä on tottakai Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, Hotmail, Reittiopas, työjärjestelmä, sääsivustot, koulujutut, kuvanmuokkausmahollisuudet, Spotify, ... Lisäks esim. Nelly.com ja Norwegianin sivut on mulle erittäin yleiset vierailukohteet. En vaan pärjäis ilman.

Siinä se yksinkertaisuudessaan :-) Porkkanalaatikot tuliki tossa jo uunista (alotin tän kirjottamisen jo joskus aikasin mut se sitten jäi..). Nyt nukkumaan ni jaksaa aamulla nousta pirteenä, pistää Joulupukin Kuumalinjan päälle ja lähtee isovanhemmille Helsinkiin joulupuurolle ja herkuttelemaan! Illaks mennään tänä vuonna porukoille (yleensä ollaan oltu mummolla). Pitääkin laittaa vatsasta joustavat vaatteet...

Kauniita unia, ja iloista & onnellista joulua :-)

@Oulu #2

 I'm gonna write more about this Oulu-trip when I have more time, but here's something to start with:

Now it's time for grilled food, Batman Begins and then sauna :-) Have a good weekend!

working & a 4-day trip to Mustio!

Hello again!

So last week I was at work on Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat. It was quite calm after all because many people had their summer holidays and the weather was good so people were out instead of coming to a shopping center. The situation changed this week - the day before yesterday (August 1st) it was notable that people had come back to work from their vacations and, in addition, the weather was bad so we were in a rush all the time. My work mates said to me that now we are back to normal, this is how it usually is and that it was exceptionally calm on July. But I'm happy that I got to learn everything during the calm period because it would have been confusing and stressful to try to learn and be trained during a rush. This week I've been working on Wed, yesterday, today and also tomorrow. Sunday is a day off. Then there are three working days left before our Oulu-trip. We are flying there on Thursday, so, in a week we'll be in Oulu.

Cosmopolitan-drink, a good start for the weekend!

On Saturday I had a short day at work and I was able to leave already at 12. I went straight to Espoon keskus and caught a train to Karjaa. My aunt came to pick me up and we drove to my grandparents' summer place, situated in Mustio. I was supposed to go there already earlier in the summer but I seriously haven't had time. I hadn't seen my aunts, my grand parents or my cousins for 6-7 months so it was good to see them all. There were also two dogs! I was there 'til Tuesday and for me it was relaxing to spend some time in the countryside again. The weather was surprisingly good almost every day (except for the nightly thunderstorms). My cousins (aged 5 - 11) wanted to go swimming many times a day but I was still not brave enough to go there. We also had a day trip to Tammisaari on Monday. We went around shopping a bit and after that we went to a restaurant at the port. I think everything was quite good - the food, the atmosphere and the company! Here are some pictures from those days:

My cousins got to make my bed and this is how it turned out...

walking in the grass without shoes - summer!

the "shopping street" in Tammisaari, by that time every place was already closed.

thunderstorm, it was completely dark at night (1st picture) 'til the lightnings lighted the whole sky up (2nd picture)

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

greetings from Malaga!

I just came to tell you quickly that we are safe and sound here in Malaga with J :---)

Yesterday we went to city center to get at least some kind of insight of the city. Seems very good! Eventually we went around there many hours, saw many main attractions and got a bit sunburned - both of us. Well fuck, I wasn't supposed to burn myself anymore. From now on I'm gonna be so so careful..!
In the evening we had a goood dinner with red wine and after that we also tested our hotel's bar. The hotel is very modern and comfortable (even though the cleaning lady tried to come to our room at 9am this morning - how early do they suppose that people wake up?!). It's not located in the city center, yesterday we walked there and it took quite a long time (for me, as I'm lazy and slow), but at least we have a sea view. Today the weather looks a bit cloudy but it doesn't matter as I've planned on dragging J to a shopping center >:)

I haven't yet loaded any pictures even though I've taken loads of them but you'll see them later. Adios, have a nice day, I promise we will!

5 days to go!

How could I pass the next 5 days as quickly as possible? As I have no specific plans (and all the places are closed..) I feel so bored and the days feel like lasting forever. Well, at least I got something done today (finally) - I got my root growth covered. Now I'm blond again! (okay I've been blond all the time but it didn't feel that way with the terrible root growth)

So, now I can't say anything else but: 5 DAYS, PLEASE GO BY FAST! otherwise i will get bored to death. thanks.
next Tuesday - destination: MALAGA!

less than 5 weeks left in Finland... what?!

First I have to say it was soooo weird to realize a few days ago that I have only five weeks left here at home. I'm leaving on January 20th (Friday) and now there are just 4,5 weeks left! Not until now that it starts to hit me - I'm leaving my home (and the town Ive been living my whole life) and moving to another country for half an year. okay that's not so much, but for me the period feels like many years of being away from home. At least for now - I guess the time passes soon when I'm there, in Spain.

At least I'm now on my Christmas holiday. No stress because of school and not much stress because of work either. Its time to relax and take it easy... Well, of course I should start thinking about packing and the stuff I'm going to take with me and that I'm leaving here. My friend is going to move to my apartment for the spring, so I'm leaving all the big things here - my bed, my sofa, my table, my television etc.. so I don't have to find any place where I could take them. that's good. but I still have to find some place for the clothes that I'm not gonna take with me, for my books and all my personal stuff so that my friend gets some space for her things too. omg I'm sure the packing process will be so hard..!

the time when we still had a white Christmas here in Finland..

So last week, my school stress ended on Thursday when I got my last report returned. I was at work on Thursday and Friday and just hanging around with my boyfriend. On Saturday I had my last riding lesson (gonna miss ponies and riding during next spring!) and in the evening we went for a visit to my cousin's house with my bf. There were also my cousin's bf, my sister, my other cousin and her daughter, my aunt and my uncle. After the visit we went to celebrate my bf's friend's birthday and ended up to a nightclub in Helsinki. The evening was quite nice! On Sunday I just did a LOT of laundry.

Yesterday I felt like sleeping all day long..! I felt so so lazy and sleepy, but in the afternoon I had to do something about it. So, we went to look for some Christmas presents with my bf. I found what I was supposed to and we went to eat to a nice restaurant. I had delicious pasta with fresh tomato sauce, chili, basil and garlic (called pasta alla siciliana). After eating our stomachs full we came to my place and I just wrapped the c´Christmas presents I had bought and then we just watched TV and one movie. Nice, relaxing night :) Today I also felt so sleepy and lazy in the morning (depressing Finnish winter without snow - just rain and dark dark dark) but my bf got me off the bed because I had to accompany him to his train (via his home). He left to spend the Christmas with his relatives to western Finland :( We wont be seeing each other until next week's Thursday so there's over a week without seeing him - we haven't been away from each other for that long during the two months that we've been together. But maybe this is good considering the spring when we'll be apart for half an year (except the week that he will spend with me in Spain in the spring) :|

I don't even like snow that much but Christmas is not THE Christmas without it :(

Now my plan for the next days is just to clean up my home and see some friends that I haven't seen for a while. On Friday I'll go to my grandma's with my sister to make some preparations for Christmas. then I try to relax and enjoy the Christmas time and my last weeks in Finland! Next Thursday I'm leaving for Oulu to spend the New Year's there with my bf and his family :)
