Weekend

2008-08-17T21:00:00.003+03:00

Friday was pretty good at Flow Festival, saw Kings of Convenience, Múm, Jamie Lidell and surprisingly good Caspa & Rusko.

Saturday was rainy and I couldn't really concentrate. Borko was fun! Before we left we ate delicious tofu soup.

Today has been lazy, we woke up at 6am (this isn't the lazy part) and drove to airport to pick up bf's parents. After they left we slept some more and cooked tofu-red lentil-satay sauce & rice.

I think a thuderstorm is coming, I should sleep soon and wake up at 6am again.

Silly me, but it makes me happy

Suddenly this morning, I started to write my final work. I'm studying photography and I've just started my 2nd year (of three years) so I should have much more important things to do than plan my final work. Somehow it just gives me hope and will probably bring me back to something I miss a lot. We'll see.

It's Flow Festival weekend. Múm and Kings of Convenience today!

I've been thinking of buying digital slr, Canon. Even though digital is not my favorite at all I think I'll need it.

Goodbyes aren't easy

Friends are coming back from Korea after staying one year there. It made me remember the times we came back (christmas 2005). I'm sad I haven't been able go back since. I miss our friends, neighbors, home, ginkgo trees, food, Hongdae a lot.

Welcome back m&t!

Pure love & one of the best songs ever!

Morning was lazy just like all the other mornings this summer, watching Los Serrano, reading newspaper and eating two slices of rye bread. Well, it was the last time as on Monday I'll be back in school again. Can't really say I'm looking forward to it right now, but probably a daily routine is welcome again. It's been raining and I've stayed home listening to Seabear and hiding. I've been quite happy though.

In the afternoon I took a bus to city centre, we ate a really good dinner, bought lokum and went to see Anton Corbijn exhibition. I really want to learn all the secrets of darkroom. School starts on Monday and it means learning two things I dislike, digital & flash. I have to learn even tho I'm more into film, medium format and natural light.

New project

2008-08-02T20:22:00.004+03:00

Few weeks ago I got an old table from a Finnish auction website. I've needed a new working table for so long, but didn't feel like going to Ikea once again so it took a while to find the right one. It's so cute with a little drawer & porcelain knob and the wood is just beautiful. I've been removing paint (well, five layers of it) with a paint remover gel, which is pretty handy but the smell is just the worst! It has five layer of paint, mint green, darker green, blue, light yellow & cream white.

We took care of a friends' dog a couple of days. Today M came to pick her up and brought us focaccia and donuts with apple jam! So delicious. We also bought strawberries to put in a freezer. Earlier this week 5kg cost 23 euros but today only 18e, win win! Tony didn't believe me at all when I told him that strawberry is not actually a berry but a false berry.

Something

2008-07-30T12:21:00.005+03:00

I need (or want?):

- nice t-shirts, most of them simple, not colorful, maybe just grey and dark navy. though i would maybe look nicer if i wore more color?

- paint

- money

- inspiration

- skills

My school starts soon, but let's not talk about that. ~~Now I think I'll hate it.~~

Also I'd love to send mail, cards, packages again. Probably I could only send postcards at this time though.

Today it looks like it's actually summer! I can't believe my summer holidays are over soon, I feel like summer didn't even start yet...

Things I've been thinking lately:

- home
- balcony garden
- countryside & old houses
- photography
- travelling
- sea
- muesli (homemade)
- berries

Barcelona

We had the best time! Of course I didn't want to come back home at all.

Now I'm about to bake strawberry-rhubard pie, special guests from Vancouver are coming in few hours!

sushi yum

2008-06-15T22:07:00.004+03:00

I was at Stockmann department store the other day and saw a sushi set that included 2 pieces of inari and 2 kappamakis, i wanted it so bad but it was almost 7 euros! For two tiny tiny pieces of kappamaki and two inaris. I was so disappointed somehow I promised myself to make sushi this weekend, but today I didn't feel like eating anything so I'll probably make them tomorrow. Then I could go buy inari "pockets" tomorrow. Which I tell you are so overpriced here too (5€ for 12 pockets). Well I'm not sure how expensive they are elsewhere but in Seoul I got used to under 1€ for 12... I wish there was a really good kaiten sushi in Helsinki. There used to be one, but the quality was so-so.

Mmmm I almost can't wait until tomorrow!

Today I just want to stay home. I've been watching this webcam, it shows a fire in Hki city centre near market square. Soon it will show just normal life, I guess.

Today is bfs 30 birthday. I was talking with a friend today and we agreed that maybe it's ok. It's ok to be in your 30's now, at least in this age you wouldn't want to be 20 again. I still have four years to think about this though.

weekend

2008-06-08T18:52:00.006+03:00

Weekend was sun, pizza at a nearby restaurant (in my opinion the best pizza in helsinki), stealing lilacs, biking, making toffee, lots of music and today watching Strömsö like every Sunday, it makes me feel so relaxed. Didn't bother to make anything else than noodles for dinner, but I don't mind, it was pretty tasty. I could make few pancakes for myself now and watch some more tv. That would be enough white wheat for today. Hmmm.

oho

2008-06-02T13:50:00.003+03:00

Oho, my hair is short short again. I have became a huge fan of this Urtekram näkkäri (crispbread?). So good!

Katsottiin äsken tämä. Voi sitä hyväntahtoisuuden määrää, ihania kujia ja kasviruukkuja talojen pielustoja kiertämässä. <3

Koulu on pian ohi ja hommat tehty jo, oon vähän unohtanut olla tavoitettavissa ja koetan kiriä, joten vastauksia emaileihin tulossa pikimmiten! En voi ymmärtää, että nyt on jo kesä. Minä senkun leijun tyhjän päällä ja unohdan nauttia kun oon niin huolissani kaikesta hetkittäin.

We should start making plans what to do in Barcelona, we are going there for a week in June. I'm not planning to visit Paris, but I couldn't resist buying old book of Paris that contains mostly maps. I found it from a fleamarket yesterday for only 50 cents.

good day

Weekend was super fine, except for saturday night when mean people broke my bike basket. I can fix it though... Today I have planted tomatoes, avocado, watermelon and some flowers. I'm excited, I wish I had more money to buy flowers. And new spring shoes.

Rainy Day

2008-04-08T14:57:00.002+03:00

I've been working at home today and couldn't be happier about it.

My mug

2008-04-05T15:51:00.005+03:00

Jen of simply photo posted about her mug and made me remember my mug. I got this Smurf mug sometime in the 80's when I guess Smurfs were a bigger thing than nowdays. The mug was my absolute favorite and you can imagine the day my mug broke into thousand pieces on our kitchen floor. The loss was quite bad for a little girl and my parents had to buy a new one.
The mug has moved with me three times and I have glued it back together once or twice already. It was maybe year ago when the handle broke off and until now I haven't glued it back together. I hope this isn't a sign of me not caring about Smurfs and my precious mug! I think I know what I have to do this weekend...
