Penkkarit ja Abi Goes Tallinn 2018

Last month, February, was really exciting time, because we had our Penkkarit and we went to Tallinn. These few months have been quite busy and stressful time, because I have had to read for the matriculation examinations that started today, 13th of March. But now I had finally the time to write this post for you and share some pictures!

My friends and I dressed as Little Red Riding Hoods and we really loved our outfits. The costumes were warm to wear in a cold weather and we received many compliments about them. We had red capes and a wooden basket filled with candy. I threw 4 kilograms of candy.

We went to elementary schools and junior high schools. When the clock was 13:00 we headed for the trucks that drove us around the city.

The next day, 16th of February, we headed to Helsinki, because it was time to go to Tallinn. We stayed at Viru hotel and I thought it was beautiful. The view from my room (I was at 21th floor) was breathtaking. Especially when this was the first time for me when I was in Tallinn.

When the clock was 21:00, we headed to the bar and to the dancefloor. I spent the rest of the night dancing with my friends till the morning hours. I went to sleep about 5:00 and got about two hours sleep, but it was all worth it!

I would like to know what you liked this post, what did you wear at your Penkkarit or if you were also in Tallinn! If you are candidate for the matriculation examination (abiturientti) next year or someday, I want you to enjoy every moment there is (even though it is hard sometimes)! Also good luck for your matriculation examinations if you are having it right now like me!

                                       Wanhojen päivä 2017

(Kirjoitan tämän postauksen poikkeuksellisesti suomeksi.)

Perjantaina 17.2.2017 oli joka tytön odotettu unelmapäivä: wanhojen päivä. Olimme harjoitelleet joulusta asti 3 kertaa viikossa ja meillä oli tanssittavana kolmetoista erilaista tanssia. Kerron postauksessa päivästäni ja kokemuksia jos sinäkin tanssit tulevaisuudessa wanhat (kannattaa kyllä)!  Nämä kuvat on ottanut ihanat serkkuni Roosa ja Titta.

Tanssin sinisessä mekossa ja minulla oli alla tyllihame.

Klo 6.00: Heräsin ja koulussa täytyi olla klo 8:30. Halusin kampaustyyliksi nutturan, mutta halusin siitä erilaisen joten päätimme äitini kanssa tehdä sivunutturan. Olimme Glitteristä ostaneet kimaltavan hiusnauhakoristeen (ostin kaikki koruni Glitteristä). En nähnyt kenelläkään samanlaista kampausta, joten olin tyytyväinen.

Oli aika meikata, joten pohjustimme ihoni. Halusin kiinnittää huomion silmiin enemmän, joten laitoimme tekoripset ja sinivaalean luomivärin. Huulet pidin hyvin luonnollisena. Sitten olikin aika pukea wanhojen mekko. Minulle oli aina alusta asti selvää, että haluan sinisen mekon, jossa on glitteriä. Rakastin mekkoani!

Klo 8:30: Oli aika tanssia koulumme oppilaille ja opettajille muutama tanssi, mikä kesti noin 1 tunnin mukaan lukien kaikki ajat kun odottelimme. Tämän jälkeen menimme kiertämään vanhoja kouluja. Seuraava tapahtuma oli päivätanssit klo 12:15.

Klo 14:30: Otimme muutamat kuvat kaverini Eerikan ja siskoni Jasminin kanssa. Sitten olikin aika mennä syömään Antonioon (kovan tanssin jälkeen oli kauhea nälkä), josta olimme varanneet paikan isolle 13 ihmisen porukallemme. Söimme ja nautimme hyvästä seurasta. 

Klo 18:00: Oli iltatanssien aika eli viimeinen kerta tanssia nämä kauan harjoitellut tanssit. Olin kyllä iloinen, koska jalkani alkoivat olla jo niin kipeät tanssimisesta. Tanssimme yhteensä 13 tanssia ja tilaisuus kesti noin 1h30min. Lopuksi tanssimme läheistemme kanssa.

Klo 22:00: Ihana päivä alkoi olla ohi ja oli aika mennä wanhojen jatkoille. Onneksi vaikka jalkani sattuivat kovin jaksoin tanssia vielä yli 4 tuntia. Jatkojen jälkeen olin väsynyt ja menin nukkumaan noin puoli 4 aamulla eli melkein tuli valvottua 24 tuntia!

Päivä oli todellakin ihana ja ikimuistoinen. Rahaa kyllä meni, mutta on monia keinoja miten voit säästää esimerkiksi miksi ostaa 500 euron mekko kun samanveroisen saa 200e:lla? Minultakin saa tuon mekon ja jos on kysyttävää wanhoista niin laittakaa viestiä, vastaan hyvin mielelläni!

          Goodbye negativity, welcome positivity

Hello! It´s been way too long since I updated this blog... but anyway I have got so many cute and lovely comments from you! It really means the world to me that someone is interested in my life haha! Everything is good, I am on my autumn holiday right now. My mother´s sister rented a cottage from Suomusjärvi and we were there one day. It was really beautiful there.
I was also taking pictures with my friend Eerika and my sister Jasmin. It was the perfect day for taking photos, because the sun was shining and the leafes showed their truth colors. After that we eated at Cafe Maku. This blog post has some photos supplemented with them.

Yep that´s me throwing the leafes. Always so happy.

But this theme that I am dealing right now in this post is how to turn the negativity to positivity. Lately I have noticed that I have been stressed about many so called "unnecessary things" for example not having a boyfriend, not looking like a model or things like that. But I think everyone struggles with things like that.
For me the thing that causes me the feelings like that is the social media. Every day going to for example to Instagram and the first photo you see on your page is the pic of Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian or whatever. I think they both are beautiful but really fake from outside.  And seeing the young girls to commented on their pics "goals" "you are so perfect" "I want to be like you" kind of makes me sick to be honest. Is this what we want from this generation? To look fake?

I watched last week Audrey Hepburn´s movie ´Breakfast at Tiffanys´ and I loved her. Her personality shined in the movie but even more that she was 100% natural and real. I think the older people who have the influence to affect people should say to people "it´s totally okay to be you".  

But if you are like me a regular normal  human (which is just fine) and you have some social pressures then the first thing is of course think about deleting social media like Instagram and Snapchat. I have a good self-esteem and I am comfortable in my own skin, which is very important. You may not feel good in your skin now, but I guarantee that everyone feels the same way in some point of their life. You are good JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

There´s also the everyday pressures like not being the famous girl in school (not that I want to be), presentations in front of class, getting mocked by someone etc... ANYTHING like that! There´s so many things in life that are good so why always think about the bad things. From this day on I am going to think 5 things that are good in my life everyday. I challenge you too! What 5 things are good in your life?

My list is: I am godmother, I go to a good school, I have lovely family, I am healthy and my closest people are okay.

                           Back to school

Hi! So the school has started again... (well actually it started for me last Thursday.) It takes a while to get my motivation focused on school. Gladly my first period is relaxed, because I only have four courses: art, native language, psychology and religion. I can do this! Next year I will be (hopefully) candidate for the matriculation examination. 

This blog has no theme so I put some summer photos here.

This is exciting time, because my bff, Fanny is going to France next week, because she is exchange student. She´s going to be there a year! I don´t know how I manage to survive (I mean of course I will haha.) It´s scary, because in year everything can change, even the people. But I believe that we will be together forever OR ACTUALLY I KNOW IT. This will make our friendship even stronger!

If you are interested to go to exchange trip someday, follow Fanny´s blog here: http://myexchangeyear-17.blogspot.fi/

I don´t know when I will be writing next time. But when I write next my bff is in France. If you have been an exchange student and you have some advice´s then don´t be shy! Write them below if you ave any THANK YOU! :)

Being turist in Hanko

Hello! So this week´s monday me and my family went to Hanko. It´s the southest and sunniest place in Finland. We have always wanted to go there. Everyone had said it´s amazing place and it surely was. I felt like I stepped to a whole new country. It was so hot and beautiful like for example in Greece. The sound of the waves crashing into the beach and the sand between your toes. Even those little things make me happy. Here are few pictures!

  
I have about three weeks since school starts again, but let´s not think about that. I have many fun things to come before that like going to amusement park Linnanmäki and the zoo Korkeasaari. 

What summer plans do you have still to come? I´m interested to know so write down below!

Christening

Yesterday 18th of June I officially became a godmother to my cousin´s and her boyfriends baby girl. This is a little post about that. I am so honored and blessed to be a godmother to this beautiful child with my sister. We will take good care of her. (In this post I won´t be telling all the names because I want to respect their privacy, but I think everybody understands.)

I was so happy to be the one who kept the baby on my arms when the christening happened. The occasion went really well except my arms started to hurt little bit but it´s okay. After the "official" part we ate all good things my family and my relatives had make. There were different sweets like cakes, rhubarb cupcakes (me and my sister made them), strawberries covered in chocolate and cookies.

This was the post and like I said earlier now i´m a happy godmother. Hope you liked this and if you are interested in some of the recipes let me know and I tell you! :)

Beautiful Helsinki

Hi! This is continuation of my last post when I saw 5SOS. Last friday we had a choice to choose where to go (I am at high school right now.) In our class trip me and my friends went to Helsinki. It was the perfect choice, because there is lot to see and because the concert was held in Helsinki. We went to Kiasma. It´s a modern museum. There were many exhibitions for example my favorite Choi Jeong Hwa´s beautiful work Happy Happy. 

I loved Kiasma, because it was so much different than the basic museums.  The artpieces were more international. If you love art then this is definitely your place!

In the left picture was my favorite work. I thought it was beautiful and epic somehow. In the right picture is me and my really good friends. The artpiece under was made by Ernesto Neto.

After visiting the museum we went to shopping to the Forum. We shopped about 2-3 hours. When the school busses left me, my sister and my best friend stayed in Helsinki. We went to eat McDonalds and shopped little more. You can never shop too much!

When we started to drive to Hartwall Arena the clock was about 5:00 p.m and that is where my last post was about. If you are turist or finnish and haven´t been in Helsinki then you should really go there.  I mean it. You can go to Linnanmäki, shopping, see President´s house etc... there is lot to see and you definitely don´t want to miss it!

Best day of my life 

Hi! I´m going to make two blogpost´s about this special day. This one is about the concert I went to and the other is about the whole day. I went to Kiasma (art museum in Helsinki) for example. 

So last week´s friday (03.06) was the best day of my life! I finally saw my favorite band, 5 Seconds of Summer and my internet friends.

The concert was kept in Hartwall Arena, in Helsinki. I went to a concert with my sister and best friend. We lined up and waited the doors to open. We sang some songs outside the arena. The doors opened about 6:30 p.m and at first Don Broco played few songs. They were amazing. After that we went to see our internet friends.

Meeting new friends

In the picture is my 5sos-group (mämmisquad.) In the right is me and my lovely friend, Janica who I met for the first time ever also.

I decided to join this one whatsapp group at the year 2015. I never thought that we would meet someday. We agreed to meet outside the arena (that´s were the pics are from.) Sadly I didn´t see all of them. When I saw them all of them came and hugged me. We will gladly see again at July.

All of them are really important to me but there´s one who is the closest to me. Her name is Janica. We started talking at Twitter and now we have talked about 2 years now. So we really know each other. At concert she sitted right behind me even though we didn´t know which seat we had booked. That´s real destiny! When I saw her I was so happy. I am sure that we will meet in the future many times.

The concert

These all pictures were taken by my sister.

The real concert started about 8:50 p.m. It ended 10:30 p.m It was two hours full of sweat and joy. I jumped and screamed and smiled the whole time. The boys played 20 songs and my favorite were Amnesia, If You Don´t Know and Disconnected.  They all were so nice and I feel that they really liked Finland. 

After the concert the first feeling was amazed and empty, because I had waited this day 200 days and now it was over. Second was that I couldn´t here anything at all (haha.) I will always remember this day when I saw my heroes live and spend the day with lovely people. THANK YOU 5SOS!

If you liked this post then comment something or tell me if you were at the concert or anything! Till next time see ya ♥

                           Sweet day
Hola! It´s almost weekend which means Mother´s Day! Big shout out to great mothers there. Today was also my friend Eerika´s 17th birthday and tomorrow is my lovely mother´s birthday. Also there was this weekend´s wednesday my long-distance friend´s birthday who I will be seeing in the 5 Seconds of Summer concert.
The weather in Finland this week has been so amazing. It´s so warm (we´re almost the warmest country in the Europe right now)!
Today I was again at Kuiro with my mother, sister and my grandma. This was a bit surprise to her, because she didn´t know that we were gonna be there also. We all ate these good delicious cakes. (I eated this same cake last time with Franseska).  Here´s few pictures.

After this me and my sister went to my cousin´s house to meet her, her lovely baby (my godchild), my godmother, my other cousin and my cousin´s mother. My godchild is the cutest EVER! After being there a while we went to play frisbeegolf. It was lovely day and i´m so happy now ♥

New friends

Last week´s tuesday I was at cafe with my friend Franseska. We also took some funny photos. Franseska is in the same class with me at Salo´s upper secondary school and we have kind of knew each other somehow for example we were in same confirmation camp. I like getting to know new people even though at first I might be little shy.

So we went to Kuiro and ate these gorgeus looking cakes (the pic below.) It was a cheesecake that had vanilla and strawberry topping + the cute macaron on it. We just talked all kinds of things like everyone usually do. Maybe next time we could bake something! 

 After eating and talking about an hour we went to take photos.We walked to jokiranta, because we couldn´t find better landscape in that situation. I seriously laughed so hard while taking these photos, because it was so funny. We had some technical problems with camera but at the end it was okay and these pictures came really cute.

I couldn´t help but laugh when we took these pics where we tried to jump.

I just want to say that be brave meeting new people, because you never know what great memories you will get! I´m going to see my friend from Joensuu who loves 5 seconds of summer on 3rd June on their concert and i´m reaIly nervous. I let this be a post where I send love to all my lovely people ♥

Happy Easter!

Hi it´s time for another post and it´s about my early birthday party. So my 17th birthday is next week and I have celebrated it with my friends and relatives. Next year I turn 18 OMG! This friday my best friends were in my house and we eated, listened music and talked like always, because that´s what girls do. They went home about 1.30a.m. 

Today, sunday my relatives were here and all this post´s pictures are taken today. I want that my blog is also about food, because I have become interested in cooking and baking more. We eated really good chicken, fried vegetables and fruit salad. If you are interested in some of these recipes just tell me! 

I got for my birthday present: money, dress, necklace and The Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2.

I didn´t take any pictures of the dessert, but we ate brownies and mangocake. I helped my mother to do that yesterday and it was so delicious! 

"Easter is the time to rejoice and be thankful for the gift of life, love and joy"

                    "All you need is love"

Happy International Women´s day! Females are strong as hell and we can do anything we want. Let´s cherish and celebrate one another.

Last friday my friend Neea came to our house and we had kind of slumber party. We watched Chernobyl Diaries, ate burritos and played games. We also made this really good licorice-berry-white chocolate ice cream (the pic below).

So there is many things going on in my life right now and the biggest thing is definately that my lovely cousin will give birth soon to her first child. I´m so excited because i´m going to be the godmother of this wonderful baby.

We had the babyshower´s for the baby last saturday. There were only women, no men were included. We ate all good things: strawberries covered in chocolate, fruit salad. mozzarella pie etc. I also made the cupcakes (the pic down below) with my sister. You can find the recipe for them in my last posts. 

PS. DON´T FORGET to switch off the lights and all electricity equipments this saturday from 8.30 p.m to 9.30 p.m! It only one hour and will help our world a lot. :)
