speak now

Set me free. Nah, i feel so free. I'm done with exams...for this year at least:) I'll have the very last test tomorrow. Me gusta!!! Then i'll celebrate xmas with my friends on Friday(we are gonna skip the class) and after the celebration im going to Sweden with my sweetie:) I can't wait!!!! It's gonna be fun, I can finally rest and relax without thinking of uni. And it'll be me and J's first trip together:)
The other day was our 4th month anniversary! Gosh, time flies. I was stupid enough not to remember it was 13th:/ Shame on me! But J of course remembered. He's special, isn't it?! I'm so happy with him, to be honest!

I was supposed to study for the exam yesterday, but i just didn't have the mood. I didn't know what to study. So, instead i listened to music and watched old videos that me and my friends had taken and uploaded on youtube. Geez, we are crazy girls =D Love them so much!
And yesterday i got to talk to Elisa! O'boy i had missed her so much!!!
This holiday i try to spend as much time with my friends as possible!!!=)
And the most i wanna be with J! <3

I'm so happy=)

PS! I love the new album of T. Swift. SPEAK NOW!

"According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs and 2 faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves."

you are the best thing that's ever been mine!

I miss you...

...and i love you...

...more than you know.

like a winter..

It's still autumn, but it looks like a winter. It's been snowing for about last two weeks. And I'm totally enjoying it. We have SO much snow here! Everything is white! It's also cold. I guess I must start wearing a hat though it doesn't look good on me:/ But health is the most important, isn't it?

Hello December!

Can't believe it's December already. Holiday season! My favorite!
I've been so busy lately. And now exams are coming up:/ I seriously can't wait till they are over and holiday starts. I want to rest and do nothing. Just relax and have fun with my family and bf.
Today i finished creating a big project. I'm glad with the outcome. On Friday i'll present it to my course mates. But before that, on Thursday i'm going to make math exam; next Monday will be Estonian exam; and on Wednesday one another exam. After that it gets better. So, basically i must survive next 2 weeks.
On Friday i plan going to Christmas shopping! There's so much i need to buy:P

Even though i have been busy with university, I've have a lot of fun too. With my bf and my friends. Another day me and my bf went ice-skating. It was so fun! :)

And on Wednesday me and my friends celebrated Liis' birthday! First we were at her place and later went out clubbing. =)

Today i've been studying whole day. Not really studying, but doing uni homeassignments. They were actually all very interesting and fun, nothing hard or boring. Thank God for that! Haven't had that easy Saturday for a long time!
Tomorrow morning my grandparents' will come over. We'll have a little family breakfast or early lunch. We'll celebrate mom and dad's 24th anniversary!

Okay. I'm going to watch Hellcats and then Gossip Girl :)

sick of math!

Ugh! I've been doing math home test for i don't how many hours. Or should i say TRYING to do. I haven't got done much. I seriously don't know what's wrong with my brain. I like math. I'm good at math. Or i was. Sad. But my friend Sigrid told that we are just used to make so hard exercises all the time that now that we must make an easy one, out brain doesn't function. It'd be true!
But the deadline is on Monday. I don't know how can i get done with this all. But i try to stay optimistic like always!

I want it to be Sunday evening already! So wanna be with J!

Okay, im better off to bed now. I'm TIRED!

Night!=)

Loud

I'm listening to Rihanna's new album Loud. I really like it. I have never been a real fan of Rihanna, but i like her music.

My fav tracks on her new album are:
Only Girl(In The World)
California King Bed
Love The Way You Lie(Part II)
Complicated

Actually i must admit i like most of her songs..lyrics are really good!The best album i've listened after Miley's Can't Be Tamed.
Well done, Rihanna!;)

proud to be a teacher!

I haven't even written about my internship as a teacher in Viimsi High School. First week i just went to different classes, sat, listened and took notes. It was good. But the best part was the second week when i actually had chance to be a teacher. I gave 7 classes all together. O'boy, it felt so good! I felt so comfortable, so good. I am now even more sure that this is the right job for me! I felt like i was at home!
Now the internship is over and i'll go back to university on Monday. If it was up to be i'd start teaching right away! LOL

This weekend i've got so much to do. I even made a list of things i need to get done with. I'm proud to say i've crossed out quite few of them already!:) But i've still got lots to do. To be honest i'm lack of inspiration.. But i'll give my best to find one soon. Lol.

I just finished watching Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. I was about to watch Hellcats too, but i decided to leave it for tomorrow. It's like a dessert! haha=)

I really hope i can read a book tomorrow. I've been so busy lately with other things so i haven't got a change to relax and read a good book. There are 4 books on my nightstand right now..just waiting for me to take one and read it.. Actually i think i'll stop writing and go tuck in my bed and read :)

Night!

!

just the way you are..

Last week was so great! I spent the whole week with J! He told me today that sometimes you can't write about everything you are thinking. And it's true. There's so much i'd like to write, but i can't find the right words.. I guess there just aren't words that i need. But if i say i had an amazing time, believe i really did! Wouldn't change anything!
On 13th November was me and J's 3 months anniversary! Time flies! I was actually sick at that day. But my prince took care of me! Oh, and he gave me a big rose! He's the sweetest! He really treats me so well! Makes me feel so special! I'm so lucky to have him!!!!!!!!! (:
Oh, but now his in Finland..he's such a hard worker. lol. I'm glad i got to talk to him on fb IM on Wednesday. Missed him soooo bad! Life's weird, isn't it? A little more than 3 months ago i even didn't think i could miss someone that much (except my angels)..But now i do. But it's not that bad to miss. Like a quote says: "Distance never separates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there. But whenever I start feeling sad, because I miss you, I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss."
It's so true! I'm really lucky, aren't i?
And what i like the most is how good i feel with him. I can be myself around him. He gets me, that's for sure.

Another day he told me the most sweetest thing anyone has ever told me(:
He wanted me to listen to a song Just The Way You Are (by Bruno Mars) and he told that seems like it's written about me. If i listened to that song, i was speechless... so beautiful lyrics..and they were especially special for me beacuse of what J told me!=) I adore him!



Gosh! Whenever i listen to this song it reminds me of J!

I've put down here my fav website of the prettiest quotes!

Clipped from: www.lovingyou.com (share this clip)

"When he is the cause of your inspiration, when the world appears under a wonderful new light, when suddenly the meaning of your life is obvious..then you are in love."

must stop!

Why do i eat so much that later i feel so sick!? I know. Because there are SO many delicious food on the table and i want to try everything(in case later it'll be gone). Crazy! I seriously love birthday parties, but the dinners are too much!
I feel like i don't want (nor need) to eat for the next couple of months! But im pretty sure i've forgot it by tomorrow :/
But i PROMISE here that i will skip MOST DEFINITELYbreakfast tomorrow! I might only have a cup of tea. But lunch will be huge again...coz we have so much leftovers. How could i say no to my all time favorite food: oven baked salmon(:
Can't believe its Sunday tomorrow. Back to university on Monday. Gosh, time flies.

Today has been such a fun day! Made a very delicious cake, celebrated dad's birthday and so on. I wish Johannes was here. Then it would have been a perfect day. But i guess we can't have all the good things at the same time..at least not always.

I just got a text from Marina. She passed her driving exam. Yay! Congratulations to her! We are going to celebrate it on Tuesday!(:

Okiedokie I better change my clothes, go to bed and read a book. Im reading Minu Nepaal (My Nepal) which is so interesting book! Gosh, i never get enough of travelling literature!

PS! It's 9pm right now, but we gotta turn the clock back tonight..so it's 8pm. :/ Still so early..but im quite tired already. I sound so old! haha.

never loose it..

Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Another snowy day! Gosh, it makes me so happy. I went out with my friends on Thursday night and i came home early morning. It was very cold. Then i decided to sleep for few hours.And when i woke up and looked out of the window it was snowing and ground and roofs were white. That made me seriously so happy. i don't know what's with me and the snow, but i just love it. Right now im in my room with three enlightened candles(two of them have a sugar&spice scent..smells like christmas)! How peaceful! I downloaded Enrique Iglesias' cd "Insomniac" because i heard it the other day when i was dining out. Gosh! These songs on her cd bring back so many memories! Winter 2007! I'll never forget his concert! It was amazing. I promise, if he comes back to Estonia, im going to his concert again!
Well, well. Since it's snowing and im in a chirstmas mood already i've been doing a lot of thinking.. trying to fugure out what christmas gifts to give to my friends. Every year im so late with buying gifts, so i decided to start buying gifts earlier this time to make sure i've money & ideas. :D haha.
I've made lists of gifts that i wanna give to some of my friends, but it's quite hard to come up with what to give to my boyfriend?! Please, i need help!!!Any ideas??

Anyway, yesterday started university break! Yay! No uni for one week. Me likey! Since i was so tired yesterday and day flied by so fast i didn't managed to write math essay. But today i was so good and just sat down and wrote the essay. And it was pretty fun to write it. I hope i did it well. So, now it's done! Some other day i have to study for Estonian test coz i have it on the first day back in university. Next weekend will be pretty busy coz it's dad birthday, so i probably wont have time to study then!
Ugh, enough of school stuff.

I hadn't eaten gummy bears for SO long so yesterday i bought a bag of them. I don't know why but red ones have ALWAYS been my favorite! I remember when i was about 12 years also i liked to dream a lot at nights. And i so remember dreaming of flying to another country by plane and if the stuard came and asked if i'd like to eat something, i'd tell: yes, red gummy bears, please! haha :) But hey, that's me and my dreams! I just wish they sold a pack of red gummy bears here!ONLY red ones! I know in usa they do!



Wild cherry flavor!

Okay, enough of small talk.

Oh, now some jokes. Three fun facts of Thursday!
1. I had a Spanish test. And i had no idea i had to study all the nationalities and countries in Spanish..so of course i didnt. But teacher asked them. And you can imagine how fun it was to invent my own Spanish vocablurary. At least teacher can laugh a lot while reading my test!
And after the test i talked to Marina(who also took the test)..And i asked how she made a sentence with a word "papelera"..She said she wrote: Esta sobre la mesa. (which means its on the table). I started laughing! Papelera means a "trash can". But she thought it means a paper. Lol. So, she wrote that a trash can is on the table=D

2. Math class was the craziest ever. The new topic we were learning was so boring and easy(7th grade!). And i did Spanish hw at the same time. Marina was just looking around and well we chatted the whole lesson. And i dont know when or how or why, but we both started laughing. And we just couldnt stop. When ever i looked at Marina or teacher or anyone, i started laughing even harder. And my whole body was jumping up and down and my face was red! Marina was cracking up too. And there we were together: laughing with no reason, teacher looking at us. And we just COULDNT stop. And then i told Marina that teacher has a funny hair today and omg we laughed even harder. I was sure teacher was going to ask what made us so much fun, but thank god he didnt. I think i wouldnt even been able to respond..
But im sure he thought we had used some kind of pills or something. We seriously were laughing sooooo much! It was the highlight of the day!=D

3. We went out at night and Jaana decided to take a tequila shots. O'boy, that was FUN! You should have seen her face! And how quick they worked on her. lol.
But i made a promise that on my 21th birthday i'll buy a tequila and we'll all drink it around the table, salt and lemon in one hand and tequila in the other hand! (: That will be fun! Lol

Ohh, haha, thinking about Thursday makes me laugh! :D
I got to laugh yesterday too! I talked to my bf on facebook and geez he was so funny! My BIG boy!Lol =D
Okay, okay. I better stop before i go insane again!

PS! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

surprises!

I woke up today morning and what i saw?! SNOW! Yup, it had been snowing last night! Love it! Of course it wasn't very much, but still the ground and roofs were covered with white soft snow. And of course it felt like Christmas are way closer than they really are. Damn, im graving for ginger cookies and mandarins. I miss Christmas joy!
But i gotta stick to the reality. I know sooner or later Christmas are here..and then they're gone again.
Right now i am trying to concentrate on my university studies. Math and Estonian tests went well, so im glad about that. Up coming week i'll have my first Spanish test(which will be really hard) and i'll have my this semester's first exams. Wish me luck!
But enough from school.

I just love 3-days weekends. I always manage to do so much! Yesterday besides studying i wathed Gossip Girl, make my scarf ready, went to the post office(twice!), did some pilates and just spent time on the net(too much time!). Today i studied for Spanish test, made myself super delcious omlette for lunch, visited my older sister with my younger one(had a nice sisters' time!), came back home and had fun watching tv with mom&dad. Also made a perfect muesli with mom! And what else?! Oh yea, we made a special room for pilates!(: And i looked for a recipe for tomorrow's lunch. I'll make a super delicious soup for my family. I'm right now so graving for a soup. So i decided to be the chef tomorrow! As i suppose breakfast chef will be dad... he'll make us pancakes:D Yumyum! Anywho, tomorrow will be a local fair, so i guess we'll go and check it out. And around 1ish pm i'll go to Tallinn. I'll meet Johannes there and spend the whole day with him. Going to stay over at granny's and then on Monday straight to university from granny's. Nice plans. Hope it all goes like that!
But i dont want to think too much ahead.. who knows how things could turn out.. Let's better wait and see.

I don't know why but lately i've been obsessed with rings. Especially coctail rings! Im lovin' these!
Well, well, well. As autum is here, i again have a list of needs. Lol. I save these from Christmas.
But here are few things i have right now in my mind that i'd like to get:

I love nail polishes by Rimmel London. & i'd love to get the Coral Romance nail polish!So pretty!

Gosh! I love that perfume! I know it's old, but i still love it<3


Since winter is coming i really want black uggs!!!!!!


I'm going to bed with my laptop now to watch Hellcats!(:

Night!

missing you.

Ugh, it's weird, but if J is away then im feeling so lazy and weird. Empty?! Anyway, i can't wait till he comes back!!! So wanna see him!
Miss you, J!

short.

I've had again busy busy week! This weekend i felt extremely lazy and i studied way less that i would should have! But let's hope tomorrow's estonian test goes well. Please, please, please!!!!!!!!
Well, it's been sunny and cold and windy. I like it. Fall is just so colorful. There are all kind of colors of leaves in the ground..and some still on the trees. Oh, and we have so many apples. I'm seriously eating them in every 5 minutes. Crazy! But i love it.
Anyway, today i went to Tallinn and bought some really delicious healthy sweets! I also got the photos from photo shop that i had ordered to get a copy of. I's so happy! I'll put them to the photoalbum today! I'll order some new copies soon. I've a cool new idea of how to make birthday/christams/V-day cards! Photos are perfect for these!!! I just love photos! Always have and always will! Lol
Geez, it's such a pointless blogpost. I better go downstairs, watch tv and eat some apples!

Xo.

Peace of mind

What brings me peace?


Candles


White Christmas


Good quotes & song lyrics

Dancing


True friends

Being with J

Good books & time to enjoy them

Always

I planned to post a recipe blog now, but nahh, i don't feel like posting anything like that right now.
I'm listening to "Always" by Jordan Pruitt. I hadn't listened to this song for a long time and now it brings back so many memories. It somehow makes me feel safe and secure! Maybe because so much has happened lately.. actually life's constantly changing. And not in a bad direction at all..but just changing.

Always
I’ll take the chance to say
I feel this emptiness
When you walk away
And now I must confess
That it’s not the same
Without you here with me
Then the rain goes away
When I see that face
Like a summer day
The clouds just get erased
You never cease to amaze
Every time you’re here with me

I reach for your hand
At night I pray
Together we’ll find
Find a way
To be in love
Starting today
Always

I reach for the words
Speak from my heart
They fall to the ground
Fall apart
It’s so hard to feel this way
Always

When the moon appears
I’d like to make a wish
Wishing you were here
'cause that lasts the best
And it's all so clear
Every time you’re here with me

I reach for your hand
At night I pray
Together we’ll find
Find a way
To be in love
Starting today
Always

I reach for the words
Speak from my heart
They fall to the ground
Fall apart
It’s so hard to feel this way
Always


Somehow I have known you
(Always)
Let’s see where this goes to
Cuz we’re just beginning
I love how it’s feeling
When I reach for your hand
At night I pray
Together we’ll find
Find a way
To be in love
Starting today
Always

I reach for the words
Speak from my heart
They fall to the ground
Fall apart
It’s so hard to feel this way
Always

step by step..getting closer..

I finally took some time to sit down and write. My days have been so busy. Mostly because of university. All the classes im taking are very important. Now i feel they are all teaching me something and i can't miss a thing! I get lots of home assignments that need a lot of time to work with. It's all actually exciting because i feel i'm learning everything that i can one day put into practice when im a teacher! Even though it's only my second year i feel the end aren't that far after all! We are already going to visit primary schools, practicing how to be a teacher. I truly love it! When i first thought it's my passion, now i KNOW it! And it's so good to be able to do something that i really love! I feel so motivated, full of ideas and so ready to face the real life of teaching!
It's also a really hard work. I never imagine how much time it takes to prepare one class. There are plans i need to make, phrase every lesson's aim and later analyse it, ect ect.
Right now i am really enjoying what im studying, even though i'm overloaded by home assignments.
Well well well. Not to think that im only studying(a geek) i'll write about my other passions too. lol. Friends. I don't know if it's a passing, but i just love hunging out with my friends! We have so much fun together! We had another girls night out on Wednesday. First we were at Jaana's place and then we went to the Old Town to the pubs/clubs. Our first visit was to the Tonic where we danced a lot. There's always so good music! Later we went to the Pub With No Name. There we were just sitting and talking until the pub was closed at 4am. We took a taxi back at Jaana's. It was a long night and we all fell asleep like babies. Morning wake up was at 10:30am. We got ready and went to uni. Gerli and Jaana had art class and i went with them. It was so fun watching them to paint. Gosh! I miss painting. Here are my girls:


So yeah!
I don't remember if i have mentioned, but i'm taking Spanish classes. I go there with Marina. It's actually so much fun! Teacher is Spanish so he mostly talks in Spanish and also in English. We sit right in front of the teacher's desk because then he doesn't ask us so much and of course we have a better view to the blackboard! ;) We are learning a LOT there!

Now im having a 3-days weekend! I love the fact that i have Fridays off. It gives me more time to do home assignments and plan my week. So, yesterday i managed to get done with all that i had planned and today also. It's only 2:20pm, but i've already done with all my schoolwork! I'm going to clean my room, take a shower and then i'll go to Tallinn with my family. We are going to the movies to see Eat, Pray, Love. I think it's our first time to go to the movies all together! I've once gone to the movies with dad, but i was about 9 y.o then. And mom's never been into movies. But she loves Julia Roberts and she also ordered the book ("Eat, Pray, Love"). So, she wants to see the movie before she reads the book. It's gonna be a fun night! Family quality time!:)

Oh, i just remembered i still have to post few blogs of the recipes i've tried. I'll do that later today if i have time. If not, i'll do that some other day!
I better go and start cleaning my room.
I'd love to go to the garden right now to be honest. It's such a sunny weather today! Can't believe it's officially autumn now! Time flies!

New week.

Okay, it's Tuesday today and im all so excited! This week seems to be as or even more crazier than last one. Got an instant msg from Jaana&Gerli a bit time ago saying that we are going out tomorrow. Yup. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Like that!
Well, it's actually more like a Bingo night AND G.N.O after that. I love our gnos. Always soo fun! We are such a crazy punch of girls. Anywho, so, apparently i'll stay over at Jaana's.
Actually i'll go to my granny's after uni and hopefully i can see J before i go to Jaana's. He'll go to Finland on Thursday, so i rlyyy wanna see him before he leaves. I kinda feel bad that im going out tomorrow. I could spend the whole night with him.. actually he could come out with us...but then it wouldn't be gno anymore, besides i don't have really good memories from last week. So i better leave it that way. I dont need any more surprises, whatsoever. Hope he doesn't mind!

Well, i know lately my blogs have been so pointless. It's just that i don't have much time to write..
Im super excited about all that's going on in uni. Especially practice weeks. We gotta choose a school where we are going to an internship for 2 weeks in November. Cannot wait!
Right now i feel like i've got million things to do. Even tho it's kinda tiring i still like it at the same time. I like being busy and stuff.
This Sunday i'll go to work at children birthday party. Gonna entertain children!:)
Well, well. I've been making some delicious food lately. Maybe not as much as i wish, but still enough. But sadly i've had no time to post any recipes or pictures or anything. I'm up to it whenever i have more time than right now. lol.
I'm still very into Jamie Oliver. I watch his show every Sunday morning! Just love that guy and his cookings! Marvellous!

Okay, im going to take a shower and then pop to the bed. I'll continue reading "Love, Rosie" by Cecelia Ahern(one of my fav writers!)

Since your eyes are looking tired... Let your eye lashes hug each other for few hours.
Happy journey into the world of dreams.GOOD NIGHT !

Xo.

PS! Im totally enjoying autumn. I'll try to do a normal blogpost soon. I just gotta have a bit more time for it!:) So much to write, tbh!

prrrrrr...

Rainy. Cold. = Autumn.
A cup of tea, hot apple pie right from the oven, candles, fire in the fireplace, cozy and warm blanket, good music or company. And i don't mind if it rains then or if it's cold outside..as long as I'm at home :) That's what i like the most about Autumn. Cold and dark nights. I can be at home, warm and cozy. I love it<3
Yesterday night i had GNO with my friends. We had tons of fun. And i don't regret going. I got to relax and just goof around with my girls! Quality time! Anywho, only thing that sucked was the weather. It was so cold. Maybe it was because of out lack of sleep, but still.. it was SO cold. I was totally shaking. We were partying until morning..i went straight home by first train at 7am. Sadly it was really cold in the train too. At least I was cold, don't know about others. When i arrived home i went to bed, covered myself with two blankets, and i even wore socks. I felt how my toes and whole body started warming up! And then i fell asleep:) I slept for about 4 hours.
I forgot to mention that when i was out i was wearing leggings and my ballerina shoes. But since i came home dead cold, i decided to face the fact that it's 10 C degrees outside and i should start covering up if i don't want to get sick. So, i need to take my boots out and autumn jacket too. Oh, and i need a scarf!!! Very important! My neck was SO freezing and today my voice is really shakey and weird!:/ So, i need to get a new scarf asap!!!
Tomorrow and Sunday will be super busy days. I just hope studying for the big test won't be that hard after all. Please! I don't feel like being my face in the book the whole weekend.

Btw, i finally managed to watch the new episodes of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.i had been missing these shows so much! That's another thing i love about autumn. So many new shows and new seasons starts:) Whoe!=)

Okiedokie, im going to keep doing some math exercises and maybe read a book?! Or practice Spanish. Yupp, im taking Spanish classes now. Cool, isn't it?!=)

And here we go again..

I cannot believe im back in University. My second year. Oh. It's my 6th day and im feeling so tired of it. Why do we have to get so much homework? I seriously feel i have million things to do, i have to be in million places at once and so on. How can i do that all?
My uni friends are planning to go to a party on Thursday night. I so want to go and have fun, but if im thinking of what i need to do, i don't have a mood to relax and have fun. Is that wrong?
Well, but im still going. I hope i wont regret that! This weekend is going to be one of the thoughest! I'll have super hard Estonian test. I've so much material to work through. Im SO not looking forward to it:S Help me! I need a lot of energy!

Letters To Juliet

If you are craving for something that could move you, something that goes deep into your heart, then watch a movie called Letters To Juliet. It's full of passion, love, beliefs and destiny.
Do i believe in destiny? Yes, i do. I believe that if i wouldn't have met certain people in my life, then my current life would have lead in different way. Do i regret anything? No, i dont. Sometimes i only wish i could go back, and live the same moments over and over again. Maybe i would appreciate these even more than i did back then. But other than that i dont regret anything.
I also believe destiny is in our hands, at least a part of it. We make decisions every day. And we make the right ones. Because in the end of the day, our decisions make us who we are. We must never regret, cry for the past. We must move forward and know that we can make a change, our actions matter! We can make our own destiny:)
Letters To Juliet inspired me to write this blog, but it didnt inspire me to think like that. I've always owned this view of life and our actions.
If we believe, everything's possible. If we fail, we learn and try again.
If we love, we'll be loved back.

- Juliet

I posted a blog in July about my summer list. Now that summer is over, though not officially according to calendar, but since school year has started i feel like summer's over too..besides it's a real fall weather outside(read: cold, windy and rainy!), i feel it's right time to cross out all done things in my Summer List.

So, as it seems i can say my Summer List was a good idea since i really managed to do most of my plans/dreams. Summer 2010 was amazing. Im always gonna remember it! And if i need a reminder i can always read my blog or diary:)
But now im fully ready for the Autumn 2010. Let's hope it's colorful and successful and just a really happy time.
I'm planning to make an Autumn List too.

PS! I never know which should i use..fall or autumn. I know one is American and other British. haha. I love them both. Fall could be more confusing tho coz it has other meanings too. So, i'll stick to autumn right now :)

proud European learns life of an American

Why is it always that we want something we dont have? And if we finally get it, we have new needs. Seems like needs are never ending. But i guess it's how life works, and that's our dreams work. If we didn't have our dreams what would be life for? A family? A good job? A good health? But arent they all part of our dream?! So, still we dream and dream, and that's part of our life.
Every day i want something. There are always bigger and wider things i want..for example happiness for my family, good grades in university and so on.
Besides all these big and important things there are small ones, too. These are the ones that make me crazy. Let's take clothes for example. One day i think, i need this and that. And when i go and buy them, then next day i think, now i need this and that. Seems like i always need something. It's driving me crazy! But that's who i am. A human who always wants something she doesnt have yet.
So, what do i currently crave for?
Let's take a look:



I know, i dont really NEED them, but would love to HAVE them! So stylish and gosh i love these pieces. Everything except AllStar converse are from Forever21. I love that shop! And i guess the fact that i can't shop there(coz it's not in the country where i live in) make me love it even more.
I used to like H&M, i still kinda do. But the fact that everybody buy their clothes there has made me stay away from it a bit. Maybe that's why i love Forever21 so much. But i guess if i lived in USA i wouldnt like it THAT much as i do right now living in Europe.
Talking about Europe and USA. Me as an European have always dreamed of going to USA. I would love to see an ordinary life of an American. I know a lot is different there. And yet, so much is similar. Traditions are different. People too, i guess. Shops for sure! Food!Oh yeah! Climate;)
So, what's similar? I dont know yet because i havent been there. But i know if i would go there and live there for a longer period i would get used to everything they have there and it wouldnt be that exciting anymore. But isn't that part of the life too? Everything new is exciting until it gets old..and then we loose our interest and take it for granted.
Look aroud yourself?! You definitely live in a beautiful place, you have a cozy home, you have amazing friends and family.. But somehow we still often take it all for granted. :| We shouldnt. I dont. Hope you dont either! :)

So, again talking about America. I've been having fun fun conversations via skype with my uncle Scott from Florida. He's told me a lot of new things about Americans. And it's so interesting. A regular breakfast for example. A peanut butter toast with a jelly. Something i've never eaten, but most of Americans do.
Would be fun to try it out one day :):) Cant wait!

A few fav pieces

So cute ring from Forever21


My totally fav cardigan from Forever21


Really nice dress from Forever21

Although i can't shop in Forever21 because it locates only in USA and Asia, i still love looking for the cool new pieces!:)

Swiss Apple Pie

Yup, it's been a while since i last posted a blog entry. It's just that i havent had a mood for blogging. But yesterday i made my favorite Swiss Apple Pie and i took a picture of it so i could post a blog about it. haha. Boring i know. But it's actually the BEST apple pie and it's super easy to make;)
So, here comes the recipe:

YOU NEED:
4-5 apples
2 eggs 3 dl sugar 3,5 dl flour 200 g baking butter(margarine) 1 teaspoon of baking powder lemon breadcrumb (can do without it too)

HOW TO MAKE?
Melt the butter and blend it with sugar. Then add 2 eggs. Also blend it. Now add flour and baking powder. Blend it all together. Also add peeled lemon skin.
Peel and chop up the apples.
Now take a griddle, butter it, add thin cover of breadcrumb and add the batter. Now finally add the apple pieces and put the pie to the oven, bake it in 200 C degrees for about 35-40 minutes. [Definitely check more than once..for me it usually takes 30 minutes.]
This pie is very good with vanilla ice-cream.. Or just with cold milk. I promise, it's very delicious pie.
Actually you add sesame seeds and poppy seeds instead of breadcrumb to cover the bottom of the griddle. I did it last time coz i didnt have breadcrumb. And omg it was super good!:) Sure, you can use both ;) And if you like peanuts you can add them to the batter! It's all up to YOU!=)

Head Over Heels!

Cannot believe how much has happened in these two weeks. Crazy! Crazy amazing! And im so damn happy=) I think words are not needed..sometimes silence is better to describe what's happening!

Im leaving to Finland tomorrow and im not sure when im coming back exactly.
My granny called me today morning and told she needs me there to help her at work. Im glad coz i can earn some money and just enjoy good company. haha. I guess. It's always fun with granny, but if we are too long together she starts annoying me and we fight. But i never give up. So, first she doesnt talk to me..but soon enough she has no other way. But hey, let's hope this time we will have friendly time working together:) Love my granny!
Anywho, i've had such a crazy day today. I've been packing and doing other things that must get done before i leave. I finished reading a book today and went to the library and gave all the books back. Soon i gotta go to take a shower and i need to get my nails done. And i also have to add few things to the bag.. Im sure i'll forget something..
It's 9:30pm already. And im SO not ready with anything!!!

I also had to read all my emails and everything coz i'll be such a busy working in Finland so i wont have time to be on the net. That's why i wont take my laptop with me at all. I think i'll be a nice break from twitter, facebook ect..
Let's hope i'll have fun in Finland :)
The boat leaves at 8am tomorrow which means i gotta wake up like 6:30am..coz we gotta be at the harbor at least 20 minutes before 8am. My mom is going to Finland too. But not to work.. she's going to dad's place to spend weekend with him there. When she heard im going to Finland tomorrow too, she was glad coz now we can both go with the same boat! And my cousin is going to.

Well, i've still got so much to do, so i should stop writing.
Btw, i watched Pretty Little Liars a bit ago. GOSH! It's just so interesting. Love that show!

summer cake :)

Okay, i know im so late with it, but better late than never, right?
Im talking about that cake recipe that i was talking about in my earlier blog posts. I made a delicious cake last week..or was that a week before last? Anyway, i just havent had time to post a blog about it. So, here i am now..
SUMMER CAKE
Ingredients:
blueberries and a bit red currants
margarine
baking powder
flour
sugar
salt
sour cream
eggs
How to make it:
First you need to make the batter. Melt about 250 g margarine, add sugar, a bit of baking powder,salt and flour. Add as much that you need it to be tough enough to cover the griddle.


Now put it to the oven and bake in 200 C degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
While the batter is in the oven, you make sour cream battle that goes on it.
For that you need 4 eggs, sour cream, berries and sugar and salt. Mix them all and add them to the batter in the griddle.

Now put it back to the oven and bake in 200 C degrees more about 30 minutes. But definitely check it more often..and if it looks to be baked, take it out and enjoy!

What i love about this cake is that its easy to be made and it's super delicious in a second, third and forth day too! =)

easy wednesday

I'm gonna be lazy today. And it'll be okay!
Monday was crazy! In many ways. I had so much fun with my girls..and whoever joined the party. But there was way more than just a party. When we first arrived at Jaana's place, we met her family, had late breakfast and went swimming. Well, first we boated to a small island and then we swam. Gosh, it was so fun. Jaana taught me how to do saltos in the water. It was so hilarious. But i finally managed to learn it:):)
Back at Jaana's, we changed our clothes, then went to meet Liis at the bus stop, had a lunch and BAM someone ran into the house and yelled: the sauna house is on fire! WTF?!
We ran outside and saw it was true. It really WAS on fire! We called for the firefighters and started taking as many stuff out from the sauna house as possible. But the fire went crazier and soon we couldnt go inside anymore.. Luckily firemen came really fast and started putting out the fire. But it took long to finally and totally put it out. But after about 2 hours they left. The sauna house was totally burnt. Really sad and awful picture was in front of us!
We thought to cancel the party, but Jaana insisted not to.
The party was fun. There were so many people. I knew none of them, except my uni friends..and Madis and Aare. We all had lots of fun!
We slept in the tent although not for long. It was quite cold at night. But i guess i still go to sleep for about 4 hours. In the morning i we sat and talked and some hadnt even got to sleep yet..or leave yet. Most of the guests left at night already coz they were all locals. Anyway, i got home with Madis and Aare. Thank God for that! Because if i had to come back by train then i would have arrived home abt 8pm. But by car i arrived home at 1:30pm. I took a longgg hott shower coz i was rly dirty..at least i felt so. Gosh, it was so good to be at home, clean and just to rest. I had lunch and went to bed..I listened to my iPod and fell asleep. It was so good. AFter sleeping for abt 3 hours i went downstairs, ate one muffin, brushed my teeth and went back to bed. I ffinished listening to Remember Me audio book, listened few Miley's songs and fell asleep again. I was just so tired. But today morning i woke up 9am and now im totally rested and i feel great!=)
Also, its good that i have no plans for today! I can just wander around the house and do nothing. I like it!haha:) Im going to read a book & watch tv the whole day today=)

Sunny evening!
Im feeling weird today. Lazy. I never like weekend when its a holiday. There's nothing on tv, and well it's just a bit boring.
I went to see one Israel band today.. music was kinda weird, but dancing was cool. And some guys were cute too. LOL
When i came home we had a BBQ. And now im here. Borning day, isnt it?
I wanna talk to somebody!
I miss to many people :(
But gotta stay positive!:)

because..

Good afternoon!

It's windy and sunny afternoon. Hot hot hot! But wind is cooling everybody down. I like it!
I'm going to swim soon to the river for the first time this summer. I don't like rivers very much, for me these are not for swimming. I love wild waves in the sea!!!
Today morning i picked some berries because im gonna make a cake later.


Redberries and Amelanchier ovalis.

I actually didn't know how to call these berries in English, but i Googled. And i found out that these are only in Europe.
Well to be honest, none of my friends had eaten them before, me either actually. But when we moved to our new home, then we had these in our garden territory. I love these berries!


The bread that my mom makes is the BEST!

I can't imagine my life without mom's bread anymore! It's just delicious. It contains different seeds, such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts..


My breakfast today morning:)

art.

Actually i wanted to write this blog yesterday. I was so inspired. I read a book "Minu London"[My London]. What a book! While reading it i just had to make some thought-breaks. I needed to think. And also write. I just wrote little notes to a notepaper while reading the book. I had so many ideas and so much that i wanted to read more about. So, you can imagine me: reading a book, pen and notepaper in my hand.. scribbling something downs and continuing reading. I LOVE books! Especially travel literature. I wish i could publish a book one day. And i know nothing happens without the action. Dreams come true if we fight for them!:)
Anywho, i realized i love taking photos. I've always been into photography, but always for fun. And the most i like to take photos of natural things, something that includes art. I'm not very good at art, but there's something inside of me that just makes me want to DO art. So, i draw, i write, i create things..and even though they might not be perfect or very excellent or amazing or just great, they are still piece of me. Making art makes me happy, that's the only thing that matters!:)
Sometimes i think there are too many things that interest me. I love literature, other cultures, writing, music, religions, traveling, journalism, fashion, dancing, healthy lifestyle, yoga, cooking, making art & enjoying art that's been made by others.. And somehow i wanna be in all of these. I wanna enjoy all these things. But im not sure one life time is enough for all of this?! But i've learnt to live in today! So, i live like there's no tomorrow and i truly wanna live life fullest! Have a joy of things i love:)

While reading Minu London i started thinking how i imagine my future home..or actually where. I can see myself in a big city, living in an apartment. But i know that even though the city life is busy, noisy, full of different people and more rich lifestyle, then my home inside will be very cozy, veryyy homey! I've always loves cooking, baking and i can see myself cooking in a beautiful kitchen. My hands full of colorful vegetables. Beautiful flowery dishes, red white cups with baby pink and blue dots on them. Lots of green salad. Homemade cookies. Cute curtains. I love these things. I love to go to the countryside to get fresh vegetables or go to the fair in the city to get vegetables and all kind of stuff that they sell there. It's so fun to shop for food stuff coz later you can make delicious meals from them!:) I'd love to have friends over, drink smoothies and eat pear muffins i made. Or in the winter morning i'll ask my friends over for lunch..i'll make pancakes and hot peppermint tea.. pancakes with strawberry, raspberry and blueberry jam. It's your pick. haha. I sound silly i know. But just thinking about it makes me happy! It's something i've learnt from my mom. She's amazing in the kitchen though she doesn't know that. I love that she bakes so much, i love her homemade bread with all kind of seeds, i love that in the summer we have so many berries, apples, pears and vegetables in our garden and we use them all..we make jam, juices, and eat them any possible way!:) Home is where your heart is. The building means less than anything else. Family matters. Pets matter. Friends matter. Your ability to feel artistic and free in your home matter. To experience.

Anyway, i'll put some photos here that are my little inspirations or that have borned from my insiration.




Some little from my garden


Decorated my shirt with textile colors


Made 5 boxes of raspberry jam


I have two things on my mind right now that i really want to do. Both of them have something to do with writing. One more than another.
But as i said, action is what makes us closer to our dreams!:)
Oh, My London book also made me want to do some jewellery art. I think i'll make some earrings in a near future. Just for fun!=)
